Wood Group wins £100m North Sea contract extention

Oil_RigAberdeen-based energy services giant Wood Group has been awarded £100 million, five-year North Sea contract extension by global oil and gas firm Nexen, securing more than 190 jobs.

Under the agreement, Wood Group PSN (WGPSN) will continue to deliver operations, maintenance and technical support across Nexen’s offshore assets.

The contract, which has been running since April 2010, includes the Buzzard, Scott and Golden Eagle platforms and is the third contract extension WGPSN has secured in the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) this year.

James Crawford, WGPSN’s managing director in the UK and Africa, said: “Working in partnership with Nexen we have proactively added value, maximized productivity and enhanced efficiency and safety across these assets.



“The long-term renewal of this contract demonstrates the success of our relationship and we look forward to leveraging our expertise and strong knowledge of the platforms, towards continued excellence in the service we provide to this key client.”

The news follows April’s announcement that the company had secured a two-year deal with Taqa, extending engineering, construction and maintenance services to five UKCS offshore assets.

In February WGPSN secured an extension to continue supporting Chevron Upstream Europe across four offshore assets in the North Sea.
