McDermott Bags Vietnam Gas Pipe Feed Work

US engineers McDermott International on August 26 announced it has been awarded a contract by Delta Offshore Energy to provide front-end engineering design (Feed) services for a subsea gas pipeline in Vietnam.

The pipeline will connect a regasification platform, located approximately 35-km offshore, to a planned 3.2 GW power plant in Bac Lieu province. McDermott has also been awarded the pre-engineering geotechnical and geophysical survey services being carried out as a part of the Feed scope. It anticipates the Feed contract will be converted into an EPCI contract in the first quarter of 2021.

Earlier this year, Singapore’s Delta Offshore Energy got the go ahead from the Bac Lieu province to build the gas-fired power plant. The project is to be fully implemented by 2027 with the first phase expected online by 2024. The project will also include a floating terminal and storage tank, and a gas recycling station.
