McDermott finishes subsea work on Bayu-Undan gas field

McDermott has completed work on its first subsea contract with Santos for the Bayu-Undan gas field located in the Timor Sea.

The Bayu-Undan field is one of Timor-Leste's largest gas fields. Work on the Phase 3C Project commenced in May and concluded in December 2021.

McDermott said in a statement that its scope of work involved a tieback of a single in-field well to existing facilities, re-using existing flexible flowline, with a new umbilical and certain infrastructure.

"McDermott completed the scope within nine months of award," said Mahesh Swaminathan, McDermott's Senior Vice President, Asia Pacific, Subsea & Deepwater.

McDermott added that the “recovery and reusing of existing flexible flowlines was a significant factor in enabling the work to be completed nine months from award and within the project schedule.”
