McDermott International, Inc. (McDermott) announced that the dive support vessel Thebaud Sea (DSV) was recently mobilised for an emergency pipeline repair intervention offshore the United Arab Emirates.
This is the third time in recent months that the DSV has been fast-tracked to carry out an emergency response. This contract is included in McDermott's first quarter 2014 backlog.
"Pipeline failures can often result in significant production loss, which is why reaction speed to these cases is critical," explained Scott Cummins, Executive Vice President, Offshore. 海角吃瓜网淎lthough there is added pressure due to the impact in oil revenues, Health, Safety and the Environment remains at the forefront for emergency pipeline repair systems (EPRS)海角吃瓜网�.
