McDermott International Inc. announced it has been awarded a subsea umbilical and flowline installation contract by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation in support of its Phase II development of the Caesar/Tonga field located in the U.S.Gulf of Mexico. McDermott's operating center in Houston, Texas, has commenced the overall project management and engineering. The PIP flowlines are expected to be assembled and fabricated at McDermott's spoolbase facility in Gulfport, Mississippi.

Offshore installation is expected to be completed in late 2016 by the LV105, McDermott's deepwater rigid reel-lay vessel, and by the North Ocean 102, McDermott's deepwater flexible lay vessel, which is expected to complete the umbilical installation and subsea construction scope of work. The lump sum contract award will be reflected in McDermott's fourth quarter 2015 backlog.
