Wood Group Scoops New South China Sea Subsea Deal

Wood Group has won a new subsea deal to support a gas development in the Qiongdongnan basin of the South China Sea.

The Aberdeen-based firm will provide Subsea and flow assurance services for China National Offshore Oil Corporation's (CNOOC) Lingshui 17-2 gas project.

The deal is effective immediately and will be supported by Wood Group's offices in Perth, Australia and London.


In addition, an independent review for the development's subsea production system design and a special study and design for its gas export pipeline will also be carried out.

Bob MacDonald, Chief Executive Officer of the company's Specialist Technical Solutions business, said: "We are ideally positioned to support this significant Asia Pacific development with our global deepwater expertise and broad subsea capabilities.

"We will leverage our vast experience providing robust and innovative solutions to tackle challenges related to deepwater activity. Our commitment is to delivering high quality, safe and efficient services and we look forward to working in close collaboration with CNOOC to enhance their vision for their first deepwater project."
