Wood Group PSN awarded UK contract extension by Shell
Wood Group PSN has secured a contract extension from Shell in the UK to deliver
midstream engineering and construction services to the St Fergus and Mossmoran
gas plants.
Effective from April 2012, the £75 million, two-year contract includes an
option for a further two-year extension. The award marks a continuation of the
previous contract awarded to Wood Group in 2007.
The work scope will see Wood Group PSN provide project management, engineering,
construction, commissioning and maintenance support as well as fabric
maintenance and supply chain management services.
Robin Watson, UK managing director at Wood Group PSN said, "We have an
established working relationship with Shell that spans two decades and the
award of this extension demonstrates Shell's ongoing confidence in Wood Group
PSN. The contract enables us to develop our midstream onshore plants business
and provide employment for over 500 people.
"Maintaining a focus on continuous improvement ensures we can support Shell's
rejuvenation project to extend the life of the plants, and deliver plant
modifications and maintenance support programmes. This is evidence of the
confidence our clients have in our business."
Wood Group PSN will draw on the strength of its teams in Aberdeen, Glasgow and
Runcorn to deliver this contract. Across the UK, Wood Group PSN has a workforce
of almost 8,000 personnel with approximately 3,000 onshore and 5,000 offshore
workers.
The Shell Northern Plants consists of St Fergus gas terminal, Mossmoran natural
gas liquids plant and Braefoot Bay marine loading terminal, all of which
process gas from both the UK & Norwegian sectors of the North Sea. St Fergus
removes ethane, propane and liquids and delivers gas to the national grid.
Mossmorran extracts natural gasoline, ethane, propane and butane. The ethane is
piped to the Exxon Mobil Fife Ethylene plant, whilst the propane, butane and
gasoline are shipped to market via the Braefoot Bay Marine loading terminal.
