Gulf of Mexico deal for Wood Group

WOOD Group, the Aberdeen-based energy services company, has won a contract to carry out engineering work on an oilrig in the Gulf of Mexico.

New York-listed Anadarko Petroleum chose Wood’s Mustang subsidiary to carry out work in the Lucius field, on the back of four previous projects for the firm.

Engineering work is expected to be completed during the third quarter of next year, and the first oil is expected to flow during 2014.

Mustang president Steve Knowles described the development as a “world-class project”.
