This is the second time FIPI has recognized McDermott as EPC Contractor of the Year in India.

"Our customers know they can rely on McDermott's integrated execution expertise as we continue to deliver industry-leading solutions for some of the most complex subsea projects in the world."
The award was presented by Shri Hardeep S Puri, India's Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Housing and Urban Affairs and recognized McDermott's subsea achievements on Reliance Industries KG-D6 R Cluster Development project.
