Reflecting on the safe and successful installation of the platforms by J Ray McDermott, Peter Flanagan, Head of Platform Construction said "Full credit goes to McDermott for engineering and executing safely the installation of the three platforms in the North Field."
Offshore Project Manager Bill Boyington said, "Installation of the third of three offshore platforms for QG3&4 was a huge milestone for QG3&4 and for the Qatargas organization. To reach the milestone the whole team (Project, Expantion Start Up, and Operations) had to work hand in hand to ensure a quality product is delivered in a safe manner. "
