McDermott Gets Contract From SOHIO To Build Offshore Drilling Platform

McDermott Marine Construction, a major operating unit of McDermott International, Inc., has received a contract from SOHIO Petroleum Company for the design, fabrication, and installation of a deepwater drilling and production platform in 860 feet of water off the coast of Texas in East Breaks block 165 of the Gulf of Mexico.

The 40-well-slot structure is scheduled to be completed and installed by November 1986. Its eightleg jacket (base) will be installed in one piece with a launch weight of 24,000 short tons. It will have both skirt piles and main piles, and support a 5,000-ton deck.

The SOHIO structure is being designed by McDermott's Hudson Engineering in Houston, and will be fabricated by its Fabrication Division in Morgan City, La. The jacket will be transported and launched by McDermott's Intermac 650. The primary construction barge for the installation will be McDermott's Derrick Barge 22, which has a lifting capacity of 1,600 tons.
