The offer will allow McDermott to deal with the Polok and Chinwol field advancement job in the Gulf of Mexico by supplying extensive FEED services for the task's engineering, procurement, building, and setup (EPCI) of subsea, umbilicals, risers, and flowlines (SURF). The task's engineering shipment will be led from the company's Houston workplace.
Mahesh Swaminathan, McDermott's Senior Vice President of Subsea and Floating Facilities, commented: “Our substantial experience in subsea engineering and internal EPCI abilities distinctively place us to provide ingenious and effective FEED options for Repsol's advancement of the Polok and Chinwol fields. We eagerly anticipate advancing this task with a strong concentrate on cost-effectiveness, security, performance and quality shipment.”

The oil discoveries on the Polok and the Chinwol potential customers in Block 29 overseas Mexico were revealed in May 2020. The very first one was explained at the time as a play-opening discovery within the Early Miocene tank of the Salina Basin, part of the Sureste Basin. The 2nd possibility experienced oil in developments of the Pliocene.
The Block 29 partners were Harbour Energy (25%), Repsol (operator, 30%), PC Carigali Mexico Operations, the Mexican subsidiary of Petronas (28.33%), and PTTEP Mexico E&P Limited (16.67%) up until PTTEP's subsidiary signed a sale and purchase arrangement (SPA) in September 2024 to offer its whole stake in the block to Repsol, allowing the operator to increase its interest to 46.67%.

While the Polok-1 expedition well was drilled to an overall depth of 2,620 meters and experienced more than 200 meters of net oil pay from 2 zones in the lower Miocene, the Chinwol-1 expedition well was drilled to an overall depth of 1,850 meters and experienced 150 meters of net oil pay from 3 zones in the lower Pliocene. These expedition wells were drilled with the Maersk Valiant, relabelled Noble Valiant drillship, following the Maersk Drilling– Noble Corporation merger.
The fields in Block 29 lie 88 kilometers from the Mexican shoreline of Tabasco and around 50 kilometers west-northwest of the Zama discovery. These wells were drilled in water depths of 500 to 600 meters and are positioned simply 12 kilometers apart from each other. In 2015, DORIS was employed to provide idea engineering of the subsea production system (SPS) and SURF for the job.
