Wood Group wins

Canada
HOUSTON, October 24, 2016 — Wood Group has secured a
five-year contract to provide engineering, procurement,
construction and maintenance services to the Hibernia platform, offshore Newfoundland, from Hibernia Management and
Development Company Ltd. (HMDC). The contract will be
executed by Wood Group’s Eastern
Canada operations, in St. John’s, Newfoundland & Labrador, and has the
potential of two additional five-year contract extensions.
Michele McNichol, CEO for Wood
Group’s Asset Life Cycle Solutions business in the Western
Hemisphere, said: “Since first oil in 1997, Wood Group has been the
incumbent contractor for many of these services on the Hibernia platform. The first producing field
of Canada’s East Coast, it has been a cornerstone of our business
in the region.
“This new contract demonstrates the confidence this key client
has in our team. Wood Group has provided a high level of
service, retained specific knowledge to the platform, and executed
work safely with local talent – even in the harshest of
environments.”

construction offices in Atlantic
Canada with more than 500 people working onshore and
offshore. Currently, Wood Group executes EPC contracts on two of
