The Kollsnes gas plant is located in Oygarden, west of Bergen, and processes gas from the Troll, Kvitebjorn, Visund and Fram fields.
Gassco operates the Kollsnes facility and Equinor is the technical services provider.
Dave Stewart, CEO of Wood’s Asset Solutions business in Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia, comments: “We are delighted to be able to continue our long-term, global relationship with Equinor with the addition of this EPCI contract.
“This award supports our strategic focus on strengthening our position in the onshore energy market in Norway and enables us to draw on our rich heritage and experience that exists across our global organisation.”
Lars Fredrik Bakke, Wood’s senior vice president in Norway, adds: “Delivering the MEG upgrade at the Kollsnes process plant allows us to leverage our market-leading expertise in downstream processing to support Equinor’s technical operations of this critical piece of onshore energy infrastructure, through which 40% of all Norwegian gas export flows.”
“Our breadth of experience in the Norwegian energy sector and our close client partnership positions us for continued growth in the downstream sector, both with Equinor and across the broader Norwegian market.”
