Aberdeen-based energy services firm Wood has started a new operating partner contract for the Scottish Area Gas Evacuation (SAGE) system and Beryl pipeline.

The multi-million dollar, evergreen contract is being carried out on behalf of Ancala Midstream.

The deal will see Wood manage the day-to-day operation of the SAGE system, which transports gas through the 323 kilometre SAGE pipeline between the northern part of the Central North Sea to the SAGE terminal at St Fergus, north of Aberdeen.


Robin Watson, Wood's chief executive said: "We are delighted to be working with Ancala Midstream on these major pieces of infrastructure. This contract strengthens our operating partner portfolio in the UKCS and our commitment is to leverage our broad capabilities, differentiated expertise and innovative solutions to deliver safely and efficiently.

"We have established a close partnership with Ancala Midstream, using our four decades of North Sea experience to support the smooth and successful transition of asset ownership and operatorship, and we welcome the St Fergus-based team to Wood today."
