North Oil Company (NOC) has awarded a contract to McDermott International for the development of Qatar’s largest offshore oil field, Ruya project.
The contract, which follows the completion of the pre-FEED contract, is for front-end engineering design (FEED) for the project, which was previously referred to as Al-Shaheen Phase 3-Batch 1.
McDermott Offshore Middle East senior vice president Tareq Kawash said: “This is a strategic contract for our offshore business in Qatar and a game-changer for McDermott as it represents the largest offshore FEED we have ever received in the Middle East.
