The story which sparked an interest with Energy Voice this week was Wood Group PSN’s five-year contract award from EnQuest to provide engineering, design, construction, procurement and commissioning services in the North Sea.
The work will be carried out on the Thistle, Heather and Northern Producer offshore assets and the deal includes extension options for up to five further years.
Amec Foster Wheeler has also been awarded a contract worth more than $73million to provide maintenance and project support for the Forties pipeline system in the North Sea.
Provided by BP, the deal includes work on the Unity offshore platform and onshore pumping stations in Aberdeenshire and Perthshire, as well as the Central Area Transmission terminal in north-east England.
Elsewhere, oil giant Shell stopped flights from Aberdeen to Scatsa as it looks to further streamline the company in a bid to save costs.
The company, which recently revealed it would reduce its North Sea headcount by 250 members of staff, will fly workers directly from Aberdeen to a number of platforms.
And adding to a string of contacts awarded this week, Technip landed a brownfield subsea contract by Dana Petroleum for work in the North Sea.
The agreement is for work on the Triton floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel which is located 193 kilometres east of Aberdeen.
Lastly, Global Energy, who own the Nigg Fabrication Yard, have had their plans for their own harbour rejected by the Scottish Government.
They had put forward plans to create their own harbour at the entrance to the Cromarty Firth.
However the Scottish Government threw out the bid on a legal technicality.
