McDermott Middle East and Caspian vice-president Linh Austin said: “As the third fast-track jacket contract from Saudi Aramco in the last 18 months, this award is a testament to McDermott's successful performance on previous fast-track projects for Saudi Aramco.

“McDermott's fully integrated EPCI solution provides Saudi Aramco schedule certainty, one of their key drivers, while helping them meet their aggressive schedule.”

In 2015, McDermott received a contract from Saudi Aramco for the EPCI of 12 jackets, which it successfully delivered last year.

"McDermott’s fully integrated EPCI solution provides Saudi Aramco schedule certainty, while helping them meet their aggressive schedule."

McDermott is currently executing the second EPCI contract for Saudi Aramco that requires nine jackets offshore Saudi Arabia. It expects to complete the project by the third quarter of this year.
