Wood Group PSN UK managing director Robin Watson was quoted by Your Oil and Gas News as saying that the company has an established working relationship with Shell that spans two decades and the award of this extension demonstrates Shell’s ongoing confidence in Wood Group.
"The contract enables us to develop our midstream onshore plants business and provide employment for over 500 people," said Watson.
The Shell Northern Plants consists of St Fergus gas terminal, Mossmoran natural gas liquids plant and Braefoot Bay marine loading terminal, all of which process gas from both the UK & Norwegian sectors of the North Sea.
St Fergus gas plant removes ethane, propane, liquids and delivers gas to the national grid where the Mossmorran extracts natural gasoline, ethane, propane and butane.
The ethane is piped to the Exxon Mobil Fife Ethylene plant, whilst the propane, butane and gasoline are shipped to market via the Braefoot Bay Marine loading terminal.
