Wood Group has secured a major contract to provide engineering and project management services for Saudi Aramco.

The five-year multi-million dollar framework will see the Aberdeen-based company support Saudi Aramco's capital programmes in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

In addition, the deal includes three, one-year extension options. First awarded in 2010, the General Engineering Service Plus (GES+) contract extension will be supported by Wood Group's office in Al Khobar.


Previously, the company secured 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.

Dave Stewart, Chief Executive Officer 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.

"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."
