Delta Offshore awards subsea pipeline FEED to McDermott

Delta Offshore Energy awarded McDermott International Ltd. a contract to provide front-end engineering design (FEED) services for a 22-mile subsea gas pipeline. The pipeline is part of an integrated LNG-to-power project and will connect a regasification platform to the planned 3,200-Mw combined-cycle power plant in Bac Lieu Province, Vietnam.

McDermott also won the pre-engineering geotechnical and geophysical survey services being carried out as a part of the FEED scope. Three months before the award, McDermott began a feasibility study for the project, which was converted into the FEED.

McDermott anticipates the FEED contract will be converted into an engineering, procurement, construction, and installation contract first-quarter 2021.
