Wood Group secures multi-million dollar framework agreement with
Saudi Aramco
Wood Group has secured a five year, multi-million dollar
framework agreement to continue to provide engineering and project
management services to Saudi Aramco’s onshore capital programmes in
the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Effective immediately, the contract also includes three, one year
extension options and will be delivered locally in Saudi Arabia. First awarded in 2010, the
General Engineering Service Plus (GES+) contract extension will be
supported by Wood Group’s office in Al Khobar.
Dave Stewart, CEO for Wood Group’s
Asset Life Cycle Solutions business in the Eastern Hemisphere,
said: “This contract renewal demonstrates Wood Group’s proven
technical and engineering capabilities in working with Saudi Aramco
to deliver projects and modifications, automation and control,
pipeline and industrial engineering over the last five years.
“Wood Group sees significant growth opportunities in the Saudi
Arabian market which is reflected in our continued investment in
our people in the region; establishing a dedicated training
facility and employing 750 people to support our business.
“We will use our strong asset knowledge and experience of working
collaboratively with Saudi Aramco as we continue this contract,
where our focus will remain on delivering technical solutions which
meet their challenges and add value to their onshore portfolio in
the region.”
In 2015, Wood Group was awarded an offshore maintain potential
programme (OMP) contract with Saudi Aramco for greenfield and
brownfield engineering services, procurement, and construction
management support for new facilities in the Arabian Gulf.
