McDermott gets decommissioning work in Australia

McDermott, an engineering company, has been awarded a contract by Australia’s Woodside Energy for offshore decommissioning work, it said on July 10.

The contract involves the complete removal of the Stybarrow disconnectable turret mooring (DTM) buoy as part of the decommissioning of the Stybarrow field located in Western Australia.

Under the contract, McDermott will provide project management and engineering services for the recovery, transportation, and offloading of the DTM buoy. The buoy will then be taken to an onshore yard facility for dismantling and disposal.

The project will be managed by McDermott's team based in Perth, Australia, with engineering and fabrication support provided by teams in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Batam, Indonesia. McDermott's DLV2000 vessel will be utilised to lift and remove the DTM buoy.
