ALTAMIRA, MEXICO: Houston-based J. Ray McDermott has completed the Maloob-C drilling platform for PEMEX Exploración y Producción. The platform is now on its way to be installed in the Ku-Maloob-Zaap field in the Bay of Campeche offshore Mexico in 264 feet (80 m) of water.
The platform was the first project built at J. Ray's fabrication facility in Altamira, Mexico. Work on the drilling platform began in February 2008. Fabrication of the two-level, 2,535-ton deck and the 3,527-ton jacket, factory testing, onshore pre-commissioning and operational testing, load out and sea fastening were all performed by J. Ray at Altamira. Additionally, more than 3,300 tons of piles for the project were fabricated at J. Ray's Morgan City, La., location using the facility's rolling mill.
Engineers from J. Ray's Altamira office supervised the detailed engineering, and J. Ray's procurement group purchased materials, equipment and instrumentation that was not already provided by PEMEX. At peak construction, J. Ray had more than 500 craftsmen and professionals involved with the project.
J. Ray will mobilize its construction vessels from the U.S. Gulf of Mexico to perform the platform installation. The project is expected to be complete during the third quarter of 2009.
The Maloob-C Platform is designed to sustain 18 wells. Oil production will require gas lift at first stage, and electro-centrifugal or multiphase pumping systems will be used on future stages. Production will be sent to the Ku-H drilling platform for separation. The objective is to increase oil and gas production of Ku-Maloob-Zaap field.
