McDermott International, Inc. (McDermott) announced Thursday that one of its joint venture companies, Qingdao McDermott Wuchuan Offshore Engineering Co., Ltd. (QMW), in Qingdao China, has been awarded a contract by Jord Oil & Gas Systems B.V. for process module fabrication work. The award will be included in QMW’s first quarter 2014 backlog.
