MCS Group ‘s 3D photorealistic cloud(PRC) technology has been an essential component in the start of operations of the three subsea wells as part of Phase 10 of the West Delta Deep Marine(WDDM) gas field development project operated by Burullus Gas Company, a joint venture between EGPC and Shell.

This breakthrough came about through collaboration between DeepTech, a subsidiary of MCS Group, and Petroleum Marine Services(PMS), which led the engineering, procurement, installation and commissioning activities in deepwater offshore Egypt.
During operations, the teams used remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) and the PRC cloud to perform high-precision 3D metrology activities. This integration tied the new wells to existing infrastructure at depths of up to 660 meters.
In addition, the installation of two submarine umbilicals of 5 and 2 kilometers, which were deployed in simultaneous operations(SIMOPS) between the vessels PMS MAYO and PMS Burullus, was completed. The entire installation process was executed in 95 hours over a period of 7 days, which represents a significant operational achievement.
The project was managed from a joint office in Cairo, where MCS Group and PMS teams coordinated key activities. MCS provided the subsea engineering, while PMS was responsible for fabrication and marine logistics.
