Chevron awards Intecsea contract

Intecsea has been selected by Chevron U.S.A. Inc. to provide engineering and long-lead procurement services for the front-end engineering and design (FEED) phase of the Buckskin/Moccasin development in the Gulf of Mexico

The award comes as an integrated WorleyParsons and Intecsea team recently completed pre-FEED for the development.

“This is a significant win for Intecsea, and builds on our track record of providing subsea tieback solutions in the Gulf of Mexico,” said Neil Mackintosh, president of Intecsea. “We are delighted to continue working with Chevron, one of our leading global customers, to address the challenges offered by the Buckskin-Moccasin development, and look forward to delivering as promised.”

Under the contract, Intecsea will execute the FEED and procurement services for a subsea tieback from the Buckskin and Moccasin fields to a nearby production facility located in the Outer Continental Shelf of the Gulf of Mexico. Intecsea offices in Houston, USA will execute the project, with support also coming from Intecsea’s office in Hyderabad, India.

Moving Abroad Checklist

Initial Considerations

Will your partner be travelling with you?

If so, what will they be giving up in your present home and will they be able to continue with their career in your new home? You will need to check whether a separate visa is required for your partner to work or if your visa gives that right. If they are unable to work you will need to decide on the effect on your finances and what alternatives are available to give a fulfilling life (home business, training, voluntary work).

Are you taking family with you?

Moving with family raises many exciting opportunities, but also can create challenges. The HSBC Expat Explorer survey indicates that expat kids can take six months to settle in to their new country (see article). Getting young or even older children to prepare to move and leave their friends and family behind can be a challenge and should be thought through.

The options for education is another area that needs to be thought through.

Moving your child to a new country with a different education system can be a great opportunity to broaden their experience, but if they are close to key exams the timing can make this inadvisable. If you do take your family with you, it is important to decide between joining the local school system or choosing an international school.

Where will you be living?

Whether you will be living in a house or apartment, furnished or unfurnished, these decisions will affect what you need to take with you. The time you are planning to live overseas will also affect whether you should leave your property at home empty, rent it out or sell it. See the article Sell, Store or Ship.
