Global engineering giant Wood Group Kenny (WGK)has won a £36million deal for the Shah Deniz 2 project in Azerbaijan.
The contract with BP covers engineering and project management services for the subsea phase of the project.
WGK has worked with the British multinational’s Azerbaijan subsidiary since 2008, overseeing the appraisal, select and define phases of Shah Deniz.
“We have worked with BP Azerbaijan for a number of years and the award of this contract enables us to extend and reinforce that long-standing relationship,” said Steve Wayman, WGK chief executive.
“We are proud to continue our work with BP in this key region and look forward to using the knowledge we have built up in the previous project phases, and applying it to BP Azerbaijan’s benefit during the production phase.”
This is the latest contract awarded for the milestone project. Expro recently secured a £60million deal on the project, adding to the firm’s record order book.
The Shah Deniz field is expected to produce up to 16 billion cubic metres of gas per year and up to 120,00 barrels of condensate per day when it comes on line in late 2018.
When completed, the project will bring gas from the Caspian Sea to markets in Turkey and Europe, opening up the Southern Gas Corridor.
