Wood, a global consulting and engineering leader, has secured a $27 million engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) contract with Equinor to deliver critical upgrades to the Snorre field in the Norwegian North Sea.
Under the deal, Wood will carry out topside modifications and control system upgrades on the Gullfaks A platform, enabling gas exports and imports between the Snorre and Gullfaks fields through a newly established interconnecting pipeline. The work is part of Equinor’s SNEIG project, aimed at boosting infrastructure efficiency and production flexibility across its North Sea assets.
Wood’s scope includes enabling gas import from Snorre, upgrading fiscal metering for precise measurement of gas flows, and integrating with existing production infrastructure. The upgrades are designed to increase hydrocarbon production flexibility, optimise resource utilisation, and support the long-term sustainability of field operations.
The contract follows Wood’s successful completion of the project’s front-end engineering design (FEED) earlier this year, reinforcing its status as a trusted partner in delivering complex offshore solutions.
Henrik Melsom, Senior Vice President of Operations, Norway at Wood, said: “As a cornerstone of Norway’s oil and gas sector, the Snorre field holds both historic significance and future promise. Securing this contract builds on our decades-long collaboration with Equinor and underscores Wood’s commitment to advancing energy solutions in the Norwegian North Sea.
“By enabling enhanced integration and fiscal measurement of gas exchange between the Snorre and Gullfaks fields, we are not only supporting Equinor’s operational ambitions but also contributing to the continued strength and innovation of Norway’s energy landscape. We are proud to play a role in ensuring the reliability and sustainability of these vital resources for years to come.”
