Wood Group clinches second Browse FLNG contract

UK-based Wood Group said on Wednesday it has won its second front-end engineering design (FEED) contract for the proposed Browse FLNG development offshore Western Australia.

Under the new contract with Woodside, Wood Group Kenny (WGK) will progress the configuration design of the flexible risers and umbilicals for the asset’s offshore gas-condensate fields – Brecknock, Calliance and Torosa, according to Wood Group.

Wood Group commenced a contract earlier this year for the subsea flowline FEED with Woodside for the development, located 300km from the Kimberly coast.

The proposed Browse project, operated by LNG player Woodside, is based on three FLNG facilities to develop the Brecknock, Calliance and Torosa fields in the Browse Basin and is subject to final investment decision targeted for the end of the FEED in the second half of 2016.
