THE PERTH office of UK-based energy engineering company John Wood Group has won a two-year contract extension worth up to $100 million with Woodside on the North West Shelf.
The deal will see Wood continue delivering brownfield engineering, procurement and construction management EPCM services across offshore assets at the at the NWS Project, one of the world’s largest and most mature LNG developments, supplying gas to overseas and domestic customers for decades.
Under the contract extension, Wood says it will deliver asset modifications designed to boost production, reliability and longevity across Woodside’s NWS offshore facilities, including the North Rankin Complex, the Goodwyn A platform and the Okha FPSO.
John Mtanios, President of Asia Pacific Operations at Wood, said this extension reflected the strength of the group’s 35-year relationship with Woodside “and the trust built through consistent performance and a shared drive for excellence.
“Since first securing this contract in 2013, our teams have developed deep knowledge of each asset and Woodside’s operational priorities. That insight enables us to go beyond safe, reliable operations – finding smarter ways to improve productivity, reduce costs and optimise performance,” Mr Mtanios said.
This contract is delivered by a team of 140 Wood employees based in Perth, supported by the company’s global engineering network.
A year ago to the day [20 January 2025] Wood announced it had been awarded a significant new contract to provide long-term maintenance solutions for onshore and offshore assets in the Gippsland Basin, Victoria, operated by Esso Australia.
This involved Wood supplying maintenance services and shutdown support to optimise operational performance of the Gippsland Basin Joint Venture’s offshore assets in the Bass Strait and the Longford and Long Island Point facilities.
