Wood Lands Two Equinor Contracts

Engineering firm Wood has won two contracts from Equinor for onshore and offshore facilities in Norway, it said June 24. 

One is for front-end engineering design (Feed) services for brownfield modifications to the Grane offshore facility, including all topsides modifications to prepare for the subsea tie-back from the Grane Area Northern Development (Grand) project. The contract includes an option for the engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) phase. Grane produces oil, importing gas for improved recovery.

The second is for the Kollsnes MEG upgrade (KMU) project where Equinor is technical service provider on behalf of Gassco. Wood will perform Feed for modifications to the Kollsnes gas processing plant. 

This new award at the Kollsnes gas plant increases Wood's onshore portfolio in Norway where the company is also designing the upgrade for the naphtha hydrotreating and storage systems at Equinor's Mongstad refinery, as part of an existing maintenance, modification and operations framework agreement worth about $400mn.

The Feed for Grand is scheduled for completion by end of 2019 and the Kollnes process plant Feed will be completed in mid-winter 2020, Wood said, without disclosing the value of the contracts.
