Global Industries Awarded Offshore Contract By Pemex

Offshore equipment and services provider Global Industries’s wholly owned subsidiary Global Offshore Mexico has been awarded additional work amounting to about $40 million by Pemex, the national oil company of Mexico. The newest work will involve the dismantling of a drill rig that was involved in an accident in October 2007.

Global said that its Titan 2 ship, which was nearby completing work on the Ixtal project, was immediately dispatched to the scene of the accident to assist in the rescue efforts.

With the salvage effort complete, Pemex has chosen Global to conduct the decommissioning and dismantling of the drill rig and the Kab 101 platform. The duration of the work is estimated to be 60 days.

The Ixtal pipeline project includes the trenching, installation, subsea interconnection, and precomissioning of a 24-inch thick six kilometer-long segment of pipeline in Pemex’s Ixtal field, offshore Dos Bocas, Tabasco.
