Wood Group secures new contract with Hess in Malaysia
Wood Group has been awarded a five year contract with Hess
Exploration & Production Malaysia. The operations and
maintenance contract is to support Hess’ new-build fixed and
floating offshore facilities in the North Malay Basin development
area located approximately 150km north east of the Peninsular
Malaysia, and includes a one-year extension option.
Delivered by Wood Group’s Kuala
Lumpur office, the contract will support up to 130 new
full-time positions in Malaysia.
Integrated operations and maintenance services including core
offshore personnel, onshore technical support, training and
competency assurance services will be provided as part of the new
contract. Technical services covering brownfield engineering,
risk-based inspection, integrity management and computerised
maintenance management system support are also included.
The contract builds on Wood Group’s 15 year global relationship
with Hess. This includes ongoing support contracts in Equatorial Guinea and the Gulf of Mexico.
Dave Stewart, CEO for Wood
Group’s Asset Life Cycle Solutions business in the Eastern
Hemisphere, said: “This contract to support Hess’ significant
greenfield facilities in Malaysia,
demonstrates the proven success of our integrated approach on this
key client’s projects worldwide and their confidence in our
technical services which optimise production and enhance
efficiency.
“Our commitment to creating strong local employment and supply
chain opportunities in the areas where we work will be reinforced
by this contract, which will focus on the recruitment and
opportunity development for the national workforce in Malaysia.
“We bring our expertise to this partnership with Hess at a key
stage of the lifecycle of this field, which will commence
production in 2017. We look forward to leveraging our knowledge and
understanding of Hess’ operational framework to work in close
collaboration with them, delivering fully integrated operations and
maintenance solutions that are focused on adding value to this
development.”
