Wood has secured another 16-month contract extension with Shell UK for technical personnel and engineering support services across key assets in the Southern North Sea.
Over 150 Wood
specialists will work across the Leman and Sole Pit offshore gas platforms,
associated normally unattended installations (NUIs), the Kroonborg walk-to-work
(W2W) vessel and the Shell-operated Bacton Gas Plant.
The Leman and Sole Pit
platforms transport gas supply to the Shell Bacton Gas Plant, which is
connected to the National Transmission system and contributes up to 33 per cent of the UK’s
gas supply.
Since this contract
was initially awarded in 2021, Wood has increased its on-site workforce by 25 per cent to service
these strategically important assets.
Darren Anderson,
Senior Vice President of UK Operations at Wood, said: “Maintaining and
optimising the UK’s oil and gas producing assets is essential to ensure
reliable, homegrown energy for millions of people across the country. We are proud to continue delivering the
expertise and local knowledge that underpin this success.”-OGN/TradeArabia News Service
