McDermott takes lead in Qatar's North Field chase

摘要

A front runner has emerged for a major offshore engineering, procurement and construction project from QatarGas that involves offshore facilities that will be installed at the state company's giant offshore North Field. Project watchers said US giant McDermott has moved into pole position for Qatar's North Field sustainability project, which is aimed at maintaining its existing production potential. "McDermott is expected to win the North Field sustainability project," a source close to the tender process claimed. A second source also confirmed that McDermott is in the driving seat for the offshore project, but added that a deal is yet to be signed.
