Wood has secured a two-year contract extension with Equinor UK to support energy production at its Mariner field in the UK North Sea.

The Aberdeen-based engineering consultancy will continue to provide operations, maintenance, modifications and offshore services on the Mariner A platform and Mariner B floating storage unit, as well as delivering concept and feasibility studies, design, construction and commissioning services for future projects.

In addition, Equinor continue to utilise Wood’s digital capabilities to optimise efficiency across Mariner’s operations.

Ellis Renforth, Wood’s president of operations in Europe, Middle East and Africa, said: “As a trusted delivery partner, we will continue to provide operations, maintenance and engineering support, critical to energy security.

“The contract extension is testament to the quality of delivery by our teams both onshore and offshore, applying innovative, sustainable ways of working, utilising our enhanced digital capabilities to ensure safe, reliable and consistent operations across the Mariner field.”

Wood has a longstanding partnership with Equinor, supporting projects in Norway and Brazil, as well as Equinor’s renewable energy business in the UK.

The Mariner field is located approximately 150km east of the Shetland Islands and is expected to produce more than 300 million barrels of oil over the next 30 years.
