McDermott International Inc. has been awarded a contract to install the offshore jacket, deck and piles for the Ayatsil-A drilling platform for PEMEX in the Bay of Campeche Ayatsil Field.
The Intermac 600 will launch the 8,400-ton jacket, and the heavy-lift Derrick Barge 50 will complete the installation of the jacket, a 3,400-ton deck and other platform components in waters 122 m (400 ft) deep. The total weight of the facility is about 15,800 tons.
The Ayatsil Field is the largest discovery for PEMEX to date and is expected to boost production for the country by 150,000 bbl/d of oil. This contract award follows the successful delivery of the Ayatsil-B eight-leg jacket and deck by McDermott in July 2014.
