Australia: Woodside Awards Major Brownfield Engineering Contract to Wood Group

Wood Group, the international energy services company, has been awarded a non-exclusive major services agreement by Woodside Energy Limited for brownfield project delivery for a number of Woodside’s onshore and offshore facilities.

The services comprise a wide range of engineering, from studies and concept, through to design and implementation for Woodside’s Production Project Group (PPG). The contract has an initial three-year term with three one-year extension options.

This award builds on Wood Group’s recent success in November 2010 when the Group secured a separate three-year engineering services agreement with Woodside’s Projects Development Group.

“We are delighted to have been awarded this contract by Woodside, as it provides the opportunity to further expand our delivery of engineering and implementation services to Woodside, the largest oil and gas operator in Western Australia”, said Les Thomas, Board director responsible for Wood Group’s Production Facilities business. “These awards further endorse Wood Group’s strategic intent for continued expansion in Australia.”

Wood Group is an international energy services company with approximately $5.1bn sales, employing 29,000 people worldwide and operating in 50 countries. The Group has three businesses – Engineering & Production Facilities, Well Support, and Gas Turbine Services – providing a range of engineering, production support, maintenance management and industrial gas turbine overhaul and repair services to the oil & gas, and power generation industries worldwide.

Woodside is an independant Australian publicly traded oil and gas exploration and production company. Based in Perth, Western Australia, Woodside has major operational assets and exploration and development interests in Australia and the Gulf of Mexico, United States.

In 50 years Woodside has grown from a pioneer oil and gas explorer to Australia’s largest independent producer of oil and gas. We operate Australia’s largest resources project, the North West Shelf Venture in Western Australia, which produces about 40 per cent of Australia’s oil and gas.
