Houston, 09 December 2025 – McDermott has secured a subsea engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning (EPCIC) contract from PETRONAS Carigali Brunei Ltd. for a natural gas development project offshore Brunei Darussalam, which is regarded as one of Brunei’s more significant conventional gas developments.
The award follows McDermott’s earlier completion of front-end engineering design, engineering optimization and readiness planning for the same development.
Under the new scope, McDermott is to deliver EPCIC services for a subsea production system and related infrastructure, including umbilicals, risers and flowlines that will connect six wells to a floating production unit for natural gas recovery. The company will also execute the EPCIC works for a gas export pipeline that will provide feedstock to Brunei’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector.
According to Mahesh Swaminathan, Senior Vice President for Subsea and Floating Facilities at McDermott, the transition from FEED to a full EPCIC contract reflects the company’s experience in complex subsea projects across the region and its collaborative approach with customers such as PETRONAS Carigali Brunei Ltd.
Project management will be led from McDermott’s engineering center of excellence in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, supported by teams in other company offices and at project sites. The gas field is expected to provide a long-term source of natural gas, contributing to Brunei’s domestic energy supply and its LNG export obligations.
