US-based McDermott International has received a large contract award from Saudi Aramco for engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) services in the Marjan field, offshore Saudi Arabia.

The contract includes the full suite of EPCI services for the upgrade of two existing platforms related to the installation of associated equipment for electrical submersible pumps (ESPs) and space for a future high integrity pressure protection system (HIPPS), subsea composite cable lay and topside cable tie-ins. This award is testament to Saudi Aramco`s confidence in McDermott`s ability to execute this complex type of project," said Linh Austin, McDermott`s senior vice president for Mena.
