Aberdeen-based Wood Group has pledged to work with Heerema Fabrication Group (HFG) on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).

The companies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which will see them join efforts to offer wellhead platform development, from design to installation, hook-up and commissioning, for clients.

Wood Group will use its engineering expertise to collaborate with HFG's specialist services in the engineering and construction of large and complex structures for the offshore oil & gas and energy-related industries.
