Wood has secured a 16‑month contract extension with Shell U.K. Limited to continue providing technical personnel and engineering support services across major assets in the Southern North Sea. More than 150 Wood specialists will support operations across the Leman and Sole Pit gas platforms, associated normally unattended installations, the Kroonborg walk‑to‑work vessel and the Bacton Gas Plant.
The Leman and Sole Pit platforms supply gas to the Shell‑operated Bacton Gas Plant, which connects to the National Transmission System and contributes up to 33 percent of the UK’s gas supply. Since the contract was first awarded in 2021, Wood has increased its on‑site workforce by 25 percent to support these strategically important facilities.
Darren Anderson, Senior Vice President of UK Operations at Wood, said:
“Maintaining and optimising the UK’s oil and gas producing assets is essential to ensure reliable, homegrown energy for millions of people across the country.
“We are proud to continue delivering the expertise and local knowledge that underpin this success.”
Wood has worked with Shell U.K. Limited for decades, delivering brownfield engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) across offshore and onshore assets.
