Big Foot move a winner for Wood Group

WOOD Group, the Aberdeen-based global energy services company, has been granted a multi-million dollar contract by Chevron USA to commission the "Big Foot" platform in the Gulf of Mexico.

The three-year contract will be done by DSI, Wood Group PSN's commissioning services business. The work will cover the full commissioning process, from development of procedures, through inspection and testing of every operational component at the South Texas fabrication yards and offshore, to the final handover of systems to Chevron.

Big Foot is the eighth "tension leg" platform that Wood has commissioned worldwide and is the fifth facility commissioned for Chevron, including current work on the Jack & St Malo semi-submersible platform in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico.
