June 12 (LNGJ) - The UK Wood Group plc, a global leader in energy consulting and engineering, has been awarded a new three-year contract worth $46 million by French major TotalEnergies to boost natural gas availability in southern Iraq.

The contract will be delivered by Wood’s teams in Basra and Dubai, creating 100 new positions. Wood currently employs over 1,300 people in Iraq and the United Arab Emirates.
