McDermott scoops EPCI contract for ADNOC Nasr project

ADNOC Onshore has awarded a US$942mn EPCI contract to McDermott International for the Nasr-115 expansion project, located around 130 km northwest of Abu Dhabi

The Nasr-115 Expansion Project is a critical component of the overall Nasr Phase II Full Field Development project, expected to increase oil production capacity to 115,000 barrels per day (bpd) by 2027. The contract will help advance ADNOC’s strategy to reach oil production capacity of 5mn bpd by 2027.

The scope of work covers comprehensive engineering, procurement, construction and installation for two topside structures, one new manifold tower, one jacket, one bridge and all associated pipelines, cables and brownfield modifications.

More of 55% of the contract value (more than US$500mn) will return to the UAE economy through ADNOC’s In-Country Value Program.

“McDermott shares ADNOC's commitment to increase offshore production capacity and will do its part with safe, efficient delivery of the Nasr-115 Expansion Project to the highest quality standards," said Mike Sutherland, McDermott's senior vice president, Offshore Middle East. "Our decades-long track record of delivering innovative, comprehensive solutions across complex offshore developments supports ADNOC's vision for sustainable energy growth and to meet its capacity goals as part of the P5 project.”

“This award underscores McDermott's position as a trusted partner in executing large-scale energy infrastructure projects in the region. We are proud to further support development of the UAE's energy sector in a safe and sustainable manner,” added Angela De Vincentis, McDermott's vice president of Operations, Offshore Middle East.

Nasr is one of ADNOC’s most advanced digital fields. It uses a suite of technology solutions to maximise production and minimise emissions, including AIQ’s Robowell, a pioneering artificial intelligence (AI) autonomous well-control solution. According to ADNOC, the work will include a new high-speed subsea cable connection which will support the scale-up of AI-enabled operations at Nasr, as ADNOC seeks to become the world's most AI-enabled energy company.
