Sakhalin Energy has awarded Wood Group a new Technical Support Services (TSS) contract.

The five-year deal will see the Aberdeen-based firm add brownfield drilling upgrade services to services it already provides for Sakhalin Energy.

For more than a decade, Wood Group has been providing engineering and construction support, as well as studies and modifications, to offshore and onshore assets on Sakhalin Island in the Russian Federation.
