Equinor has picked energy service giant Wood for the task of modifying the Mongstad refinery near Bergen.
Wood will work on the front-end engineering design for a gas residue “debottleneck” project.
The Aberdeen-headquartered firm will also provide engineering and procurement services to reduce sulphur content in gasoline produced at the refinery.
The contracts will be fulfilled by Wood’s engineering teams based in Sandefjord and Bergen, Norway, with support drawn from the company’s global expertise.
Dave Stewart, CEO of Wood’s asset solutions business in Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia, said: “Wood has worked with Equinor for more than twenty years and is committed to supporting the Mongstad production facility and the key role it plays in processing oil and gas from the Norwegian continental shelf.
“Our local engineering teams will provide their in-depth knowledge of Equinor’s processes and systems, as well as decades of experience in the Norwegian energy sector to safely and successfully deliver these contracts.”
Wood has a maintenance, modification and operations framework agreement with Equinor worth about £310 million, secured in 2015, to deliver maintenance and modification services to four installations on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
