"We are pleased to be working again for PEMEX in the Gulf of Mexico. Our installation solution for this project will be supported by our subsea engineering design group in Houston and fabrication work from our construction yard in Altamira, Mexico," said Stephen M. Johnson, McDermott's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Pipeline installation engineering is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2011, with subsequent fabrication of the risers, clamps and guards, subsea tie-in assembly and additional platform piping and structural items from Altamira. McDermott's DB16 will perform the installation work, with completion expected by the end of the year.
DB16 is outfitted with a customized Automatic Welding System that offers high weld production rates and production flexibility. The vessel and its crew are recognized for producing repeatable high-quality welds with exceptional mechanical properties. Also impressive is the vessel's underwater block, capable of lifting large amounts of tonnage into deepwater.
The field development in the Gulf of Mexico sits in approximately 170 feet of water. The pipelines will run from the Kambesah Wells Recoverer Structure to the Kutz TA platform and the Ixtoc-A platform.
More about DB16
DB16 is a dynamically positioned, shallow and deepwater combination barge with the flexibility of installing structures or S-Laying pipe up to 48-inch in diameter. The vessel is equipped with three 100 kip tension machines and five pipelay welding stations, an abandonment and recovery hoist for laying down pipelines in deep water. The DB16's 200-foot long deep water truss stinger with an A-Frame and an underwater block enables it to lower heavy structures up to 62 tons into water 10,000 feet deep, and lift up to 94.5 tons in water depths of 6,000 feet.
