AMEC has landed a deal to provide hook-up and commissioning support for GDF Suez’s Cygnus gas field in the North Sea, securing 140 jobs for the region.
The engineering giant will be responsible for HUC on the four Cygnus platforms at the field, thought to be the Southern North Sea’s largest gas discovery in the past 25 years.
The contract follows on from front end engineering design carried out by AMEC from its London offices.
It will support 140 jobs and be delivered by AMEC’s Aberdeen offshore North Sea team.
“We are delighted to be able to support GDF Suez deliver this strategically important development,” said AMEC managing director for brownfield and asset management in Europe, Alan Johnstone.
“This latest award recognises AMEC’s ability to deliver large-scale and complex production facilities safely for our customers.”
First gas from the Cygnus field is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2015. It is expected to produce enough gas to meet the demand of nearly 1.5million UK homes at peak production, and represent 5% of total UK gas production by 2016.
