Michele McNichol, chief executive of Wood Group’s asset life cycle solutions business in the western hemisphere, said: “Since first oil in 1997, Wood Group has been the incumbent contractor for many of these services on the Hibernia platform. The first producing field of Canada’s East Coast, it has been a cornerstone of our business in the region.”

McNichol said the new contract demonstrated confidence in the ability of Wood Group to operate at the highest level in the harshest of environments. The company is involved in major contracts on two of the three production platforms located offshore Newfoundland.
