Aberdeen-based Wood Group Engineering (North Sea) Ltd has been awarded a 5-year, multi-million-pound contract from TotalFinaElf Exploration UK PLC for the provision of engineering, procurement, construction and ancillary services for all its Northern North Sea and Central Graben facilities. TotalFinaElf is the first major operator in the UK to reorganise its contracting approach to place all its engineering & construction work with one major UK contractor. Wood Group Engineering (North Sea), through participation in this contract, will help TotalFinaElf reduce operating costs, enhance production and ensure the longevity of the assets, whilst maintaining the continuous safety programme.
The Northern North Sea includes the North Alwyn & Dunbar installations, and the onshore St Fergus North Sea Gas Terminal. Central Graben includes the new Elgin and Franklin fields, considered to be one of the largest high pressure/high temperature developments undertaken in the UK. The two fields, Elgin & Franklin, each have their own wellhead platform and lie approximately 5.25 km apart. Both are tied back to the Production/Utilities/Quarters Platform which sits adjacent to the Elgin wellhead platform. Production from the field began in 2001.
