McDermott Receives Limited Notice to Proceed for Manatee Gas Development Project Offshore Trinidad and Tobago

McDermott has received a limited notice to proceed for an engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) contract from Shell Trinidad and Tobago Limited for the Manatee gas field development project, located off the east coast of Trinidad and Tobago.

Subject to Shell taking a final investment decision, the Manatee project scope is for the design, procurement, fabrication, transportation, installation, and commissioning of a wellhead platform, offshore and onshore gas pipelines.

"This award follows our successful delivery of the front-end engineering design for the Manatee gas field," said Mahesh Swaminathan, McDermott's Senior Vice President, Subsea and Floating Facilities. "It is testament to McDermott's integrated EPCI capabilities built over the last 100 years around the world including many successful projects in Trinidad and Tobago. We will again deliver for Shell, building on a partnership marked by trust, collaboration, and shared success, to execute this important project."

The Manatee field is a conventional gas development and once commissioned, gas will supply both domestic and export markets from Trinidad and Tobago.
