Member News: Wood strikes two major deals with Equinor

Wood has secured two five-year framework agreements with Equinor to deliver maintenance and modifications (M&M) services, as well as large-scale modifications projects, across assets on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) and associated onshore plants.

Under the agreements, installations will be formally assigned following contract signing, which is planned for week four. Wood is intended to provide M&M services on the Snorre A and B platforms, assets it has supported with maintenance, repair and modifications expertise since 2016.

The contracts also position Wood as a qualified bidder for upcoming large modifications projects on offshore installations and onshore plants. These future scopes will focus on extending asset life, improving production efficiency and reducing climate and environmental footprints.

Equinor has the option to extend the agreements by a further three and two years respectively, potentially taking the total contract duration to ten years.

Steve Nicol, Executive President of Operations at Wood, said:

“These agreements reflect our shared commitment to safe, reliable and efficient operations. 

“Our collaboration with Equinor extends beyond Norway to the UK and Brazil, where we apply our engineering and operations expertise across their global portfolio. 

“We look forward to leveraging this experience and our continuous improvement approach to optimise performance and extend asset life across Norwegian assets.”

Delivery of the work will be led by Wood employees based in Norway, supported by the company’s global engineering network.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
