McDermott Awarded Harriet Alpha Decommissioning Contract by Santos

McDermott has been awarded a large* engineering, procurement, removal, and disposal (EPRD) contract by Santos for the decommissioning of the Harriet Alpha platform and associated infrastructure, located offshore Western Australia.

The contract follows the successful execution of the Campbell decommissioning project for Santos in Australia.

Part of the Harriet Joint Venture (HJV) assets, the Harriet Alpha platform is one of the largest facilities slated for decommissioning.

McDermott will provide EPRD services, including engineering, procurement, and fabrication of specialized equipment, as well as the removal and transportation of the platform structure to an onshore facility for dismantling and disposal. The contract scope also includes the removal, transportation, and disposal of a flare tower, exploration well, and subsea development system comprising two subsea template wells.

“This is our largest decommissioning project to date, reflecting our continued commitment to delivering bespoke solutions for the timely, safe, and environmentally responsible removal of infrastructure at the end of its operational life cycle,” said Mahesh Swaminathan, McDermott’s Senior Vice President, Subsea and Floating Facilities. “McDermott’s growing decommissioning portfolio in Australia also underscores the commitment we share to continue supporting circularity efforts in a lower carbon economy.”

Project management and engineering will be executed by McDermott’s team in Perth, Australia, with support from Batam, Indonesia, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

*McDermott defines a large contract as between USD $50 million and USD $250M million.
