UK consulting and engineering firm Wood has won a six-year contract to provide brownfield engineering, procurement, and construction management (EPCm) solutions for Shell’s Prelude FLNG off Western Australia.

The company said that it would build on its 70-year global relationship with Shell and deliver integrated brownfield engineering solutions for the Prelude FLNG which is also the world’s largest floating offshore gas facility.

“LNG is a key transition fuel as industry balances the need for global energy security with the importance of urgent reduction in carbon emissions. The contract will draw on our global LNG expertise and underline our position as a market leader for brownfield engineering across Australia,” stated Ken Gilmartin, CEO of Wood.

Prelude is an operational FLNG facility, located offshore Broome. The 488m long and 74m wide Prelude FLNG is designed to extract, liquefy, and store natural gas at sea before it is transferred and shipped to customers. It is designed to remain moored in the field for at least 25 years.
