Wood Group is currently designing and installing BP’s major upgrade to the gas processing plant at Sullom Voe Terminal, which is on schedule to be completed later this year.

The multi-million pound refurbishment will replace the 25-year old gas processing plant with a slimmed down 21st century model to maximize efficiency, the company said.

Les Thomas, group director of production facilities at Wood Group, said: “Wood Group is delighted to have been re-awarded this contract by BP. We look forward to maintaining and strengthening our alignment with BP’s drive to improve safety and efficiency.”

The Sullom Voe Terminal is located at the Shetland Islands. The terminal is operated by BP and handles production from approximately two-dozen oilfields in the east Shetland basin, between Shetland and Norway.
