Wood Group seals further UK contract with oil major Total

Energy services provider Wood Group has secured a new “multi-million dollar” contract with oil major Total, supporting a refinery in Lincolnshire.

The five-year agreement will see the Aberdeen-based group, which earlier this week sealed its tie-up with Amec Foster, provide onshore maintenance services at the Lindsey oil refinery located in North Killinghome. It includes the option to be extended up to two years.

Robin Watson, chief executive of Wood, said: “We are strategically focused on leveraging our proven offshore track record of strong service, to broaden our downstream footprint in the UK; and this contract win achieves this. It was secured by the clear demonstration of our commitment to safety through efficient delivery of our innovative range of services to the oil and gas industry.

“Our extensive capabilities in offshore maintenance gained from over two decades of working with Total, position us uniquely to maximise the productivity while maintain- ing the integrity of this significant asset.”

The new contract commences on 1 January. It builds on the Scots group’s support of Total’s assets across the globe, including its UK offshore portfolio. In 2015, Wood secured a fiveyear contract to deliver engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning services to several Total offshore and onshore assets. 0 Wood chief executive Robin Watson: ‘extensive capabilities’
