Wood Group hails ‘significant’ North Sea contract win

Oil services giant Wood Group has hailed a “significant” extension to one of its contracts in the North Sea.

Under the deal, the Aberdeen-based firm’s Production Services Network (PSN) business will work with CNR International for a further three years.

The contract is to provide project management, engineering, construction and general commissioning services on CNR’s Murchison, Tiffany, Ninian North, Central and South platforms in the North Sea.

PSN has held this contract since 2005.

David Stewart, UK managing director of Wood Group PSN, said: “This is a major contract extension and enables us to secure employment for 200 offshore personnel and 250 onshore employees, working from our offices in Aberdeen, Runcorn and Hull.

“We look forward to continuing our long term working relationship with CNR.”
