Additionally, the contract includes the design, procurement, installation, and testing of a fiber optic cable, crucial for ensuring effective communication and operational monitoring between the platform and the processing facility. This comprehensive scope reflects McDermott’s role in advancing the project from planning to operational execution, underscoring its commitment to delivering integrated solutions for Shell’s gas field development needs.
