Petronas adds platform at Yetagun offshore Myanmar

Petronas Carigali has contracted Larsen & Toubro (L&T) for a new wellhead platform offshore Myanmar.

This will be installed on the Yetagun North field, operated by Petronas Carigali Myanmar (Hong Kong) in partnership with Petronas Carigali Myanmar, Myanma Oil and Gas Enterprise, PTTEP International, and JX Nippon Oil Exploration (Myanmar).

L&T’s contract, valued at more than $100 million, calls for engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning of the platform and associated subsea pipeline, to be installed in 108 m (354 ft) water depth.

Scope includes tie-in works on an existing platform in the Yetagun complex. L&T’s yard in Kattupalli on India’s eastern coast will perform the fabrication work.
