May 1 (LNGJ) - Wood, the UK-listed global engineering and consulting group, has been awarded a new decarbonisation contract by French major TotalEnergies to support flare-gas recovery in the North Sea. “The 23-month contract, part of the Elgin-Franklin Flare Gas Recovery System Project, follows Wood’s successful completion of a field study and front-end engineering design (FEED) and includes the coordination of operations, procurement and design aspects for the Elgin asset,” Wood explained.

   The project will be led by Wood’s team in Aberdeen, Scotland, and would see the company create 40 new positions onshore and offshore. “We are delighted to work with TotalEnergies, supporting the delivery of this decarbonisation initiative and providing end-to-end project lifecycle solutions,” said Martin Simmonite, Senior Vice President for UK Operations at Wood.

Wood, the UK-based oil and gas services company, said it secured a two-year extension to contracts with Saudi Aramco’s subsidiary, Aramco Overseas Company, for its unconventional natural gas programme covering shale gas and tight gas reservoirs.

Wood Group of the UK was awarded a five-year brownfield engineering services contract for the offshore and onshore facilities of the Ichthys LNG export project in Australia’s North Territory.
