McDermott delivers gas field to ONGC for largest subsea project in Asia Pacific

US engineering giant McDermott has delivered the first ever pipe-in-pipe flowline for production in India as part of Oil & Natural Gas Corporation’s (ONGC)’s KG-DWN 98/2 project in the Krishna Godavari (KG) basin off India’s eastern coast. Significantly, the development is the largest and one of the most complex subsea projects in Asia Pacific, involving major subsea infrastructure installation in ultra-deepwater.

McDermott is delivering two gas systems for ONGC’s gas fields—U-Field and R-Field. The project is being executed in a consortium, with Larsen & Toubro Hydrocarbon Engineering (L&T HE) manufacturing the structures in India.

Deploying more than 2,000 crew members, McDermott successfully navigated both the challenges of COVID-19 and an active monsoon season to deliver a gas field, known as the U-Field, for ONGC’s KG-DWN 98/2 Block project, the US construction firm said yesterday.
