Wood Group Kenny has secured an $18million contract to provide engineering services for BP’s operations in Angola.
The contracts, arranged under the BP Global agreement awarded to the Wood Group subsidiary in 2007, will see the firm providing subsea operations support for two blocks.
The 12 month contracts, in one of BP’s key ultra-deepwater sectors, will cover the Greater Plutonio operations on Block 18 and the Plutao, Saturno, Venus and Marte fields on Block 31.
“The award of this significant contract enables us to extend our long-standing relationship with BP Angola for whom we have previously worked for a number of years,” said Wood Group Kenny chief executive Steve Wayman.
“We are proud to continue our work with BP in this important region and look forward to using the knowledge we have built up in the project development phase, and applying it to BP Angola’s benefit in the production arena.
The award of this contract is in addition to the design work currently being carried out on BP’s EPMS contract for the Execute phase of the BP PSVM Gas Export System project. Furthermore, our engineers have been working alongside the BP Greater Plutonio subsea, umbilical, riser and flowline engineering team for several years.”
