Oilfield services company Wood said Australian oil producer Woodside awarded the company three engineering contracts for oilfields located offshore Senegal
The contracts relate to engineering studies to assess safety and design aspects of the project supporting the proposed SNE Field Development in the Rufisque, Sangomar and Sangomar Deep offshore blocks.
Senegal has seen a string of newly discovered oil and gas fields which are expected to begin production within the next decade and serve as a potential boost to the country's economy.
“We have significant operational, design and verification experience in West Africa and look forward to applying our flexible concept evaluation and design optimisation solutions to support Woodside in the development of this important deepwater project,” Bob MacDonald, CEO of Wood’s Specialist Technical Solutions business said.
