OREANDA-NEWS. Wood Group has secured a new three year contract with Shell, to deliver industrial services to the St Fergus gas processing plant in Aberdeenshire and the Mossmorran gas processing plant and Braefoot Bay marine terminal in Fife, Scotland. Wood Group PSN’s industrial service line business, Wood Group Industrial Services (WGIS), will provide fabric integrity maintenance and site support under the contract, which has the option to be extended for up to four years.

Effective immediately, the contract builds on Wood Group’s 20 year history supporting Shell on these assets.

Hugh Pelham, managing director of WGIS, said: “This contract award is another example of Wood Group’s ability to deliver safe, more productive services.  We are committed to leveraging our robust knowledge of the facilities and broad industrial services capabilities, towards the successful delivery of this contract.

“The onshore midstream oil and gas sector is a key growth area for WGIS; our 43 years of experience providing specialist, high quality industrial services, supporting the construction, maintenance, decommissioning and replacement of major industrial assets such as bridges, chemical plants, ships, oil rigs and power stations, positions us strongly to support clients in this sector.”

This is the second contract Wood Group has secured with Shell this year. In January, Wood Group Kenny commenced a three year contract providing specialist consultancy services for flexible riser integrity management prior to and during operation of Shell Australia’s Prelude Floating Liquefied Natural Gas project.
