The first contract is for an integrated wellhead jacket (IWJ) in the Al Khafji oil-field offshore Saudi Arabia.

The second contract will see J. Ray support the expansion of KJO's loading facilities in the offshore Neutral Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Projects of this type are typically valued over $50 million.


"This is a great opportunity for us to offer KJO our integrated, turnkey capabilities in carrying out their latest field development projects in the Gulf," said Hafez Aghili, vice president and general manager, Middle East and India, of J. Ray McDermott, S.A.

"The IWJ-4 jacket is the fourth wellhead jacket that J. Ray has recently undertaken for KJO; in October 2004 we successfully completed the fabrication and installation facilities of two integrated well jackets, three months ahead of schedule.

The new IWJ wellhead platform, weighing approximately 1,100MT, is similar to other IWJs. The structure, including jacket, piles, and deck will be fabricated at J. Ray's Jebel Ali yard under a fully integrated project management team. "Detailed engineering work will begin this month at our design office in Jebel Ali, with fabrication planned to commence by the middle of this year."
