Sakhalin Energy has awarded Wood Group a new Technical Support Services (TSS) contract.

The five-year deal will see the Aberdeen-based firm add brownfield drilling upgrade services to services it already provides for Sakhalin Energy.

For more than a decade, Wood Group has been providing engineering and construction support, as well as studies and modifications, to offshore and onshore assets on Sakhalin Island in the Russian Federation.


The TSS contract, which contains two, one-year extension options, will also see a new working relationship created between Wood Group and a Russian Design Institute (RDI), Gasproektengineering AOJSC (GPE).

Dave Stewart, Chief Executive Officer for Wood Group's Asset Life Cycle Solutions business, said: "We have a 10 year relationship working with Sakhalin Energy on Sakhalin Island. During this time, we have demonstrated our in-depth asset knowledge and technical solutions, which strongly position us to deliver this contract across their portfolio of assets.

"Our global expertise in brownfield engineering combined with our commitment to developing the capabilities of our 200-strong workforce on Sakhalin Island enables us to successfully provide efficient and effective services that add value for our client."
