McDermott Completes
Deepest Pipelines
In U.S. Waters
McDermott Marine Construction has completed the deepest pipelines laid in U.S. waters. The two pipe- lines reached depths of approxi- mately 1,400 feet and were installed for Conoco Inc.'s Jolliet project.
The 6.5-mile 10-inch lines were installed by McDermott's Derrick
Barge 28 from the Conoco's Central
Production Platform (CPP) in 620 feet of water in Green Canyon Block 52 to a tie-in point in Green Canyon
Block 139 in 1,070 feet of water.
McDermott also installed a uni- fied connector skid (UCS) for the
Jolliet project in Green Canyon 184 in 1,020 feet of water. The UCS installation utilized saturation div- ing and McDermott's new Total Sa- turation System-7. These are the deepest working dives in the Gulf of
Mexico. TSS-7 has a maximum dive rating of 1,500 feet and is based in the Gulf of Mexico. The UCS pro- vides the future connection points for the flexible pipe tie-ins of the
TLWP.
McDermott Marine Construction is a major operating unit of McDer- mott International, Inc., a leading worldwide energy services compa- ny.
