Two contract extensions for Wood Group in Australia, North Sea

Wood Group has been awarded two big contract extensions, the first one is a US $145 million, three year contract extension by Melbourne Water to provide services across their operational area from the Thomson Reservoir in the east to the Western Treatment Plant in the west of Melbourne, Australia. Effective immediately, Wood Group will continue to deliver mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, process control and civil maintenance services to Melbourne Water’s water and sewage transfer and treatment facilities and their networks; this contract is said to employ approximately 250 people across a broad range of functions including administration, project management, engineering, through to technicians working in the field.
The second one extends Wood Group’s master service agreement (MSA) contract with Apache Corporation in the North Sea. Wood Group will continue to deliver subsea engineering and consultancy services, in support of Apache’s routine operation and maintenance works, as well as detailed engineering for future subsea developments across its entire North Sea portfolio; the Forties and Beryl areas, Scottish Area Gas Evacuation (SAGE) pipeline and the onshore SAGE facility at St Fergus. Effective immediately as well, the contract includes two one-year extension options. Wood Group has held this service agreement with Apache since 2012 and supported on a number of key projects in the North Sea, including the Forties Subsea Isolation Valves (SSIV) project, the Aviat development and most recently the Ness Nevis development.
