Consulting and engineering firm Wood has secured a three-year contract extension to provide operations, maintenance, modifications, and support services on Equinor’s assets at the Mariner field off the UK.
Wood will continue to support the delivery of Equinor’s strategic objectives through projects, upgrades, and maintenance on the Mariner A platform and Mariner B floating storage unit.
The contract, which includes a further one-year contract extension option, will continue to be supported by more than 110 employees based at Wood’s office in Aberdeen, as well as offshore on the Mariner assets.
Wood is also supporting Equinor’s global projects, including long-term deals in Norway and Brazil, as well as Equinor’s renewable energy business in the UK.
The Mariner oil field is located in Block 9/11a in the northern North Sea, some 150 km east of the Shetland Islands. It comprises two shallow reservoir sections – the Maureen formation and the Heimdal reservoir.
It has been producing since August 2019 and is expected to produce more than 300m barrels of oil over the next 30 years. Equinor is the field’s operator, with ONE-Dyas, NEO Energy, and Ithaca as its partners.
