Read MoreHide Full Article
McDermott International, Inc. recently announced that it has clinched a transportation and installation work in Vietnam. The subcontract was offered by PetroVietnam Technical Services Corporation for the Sao Vang and Dai Nguyet gas and condensate fields, where Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd. is the operator. The fields are located in the Nam Con Son Basin’s 05-1b and 05-1c blocks, offshore Vietnam.
The services to be provided by McDermott include transportation and installation work for the central processing platform jacket in the field. The company will provide installation services at 110-130 meters of water depth for the wellhead platform, flexible pipelines, subsea power cables and others. The offshore service provider stated the subcontract as “sizeable,” which is valued at the $1-$50 million range, per the company’s definition.
McDermott’s resources in Kuala Lumpur, Dubai and Houston will be used for the Vietnam project. The project is expected to last from 2019 to 2021. The company will include the contract in its second-quarter 2018 backlog.

Today's Stocks from Zacks' Hottest Strategies
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +21.9% in 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +115.0%, +109.3%, +104.9%, +98.6%, and +67.1%.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent. From 2000 - 2017, the composite yearly average gain for these strategies has beaten the market more than 19X over. Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that we're willing to share their latest stocks with you without cost or obligation.
