Energy services firm Wood has been selected to provide construction and project management services for Discovery DJ Services in Colorado.

The Aberdeen-based company will deliver the multi-million dollar deal across a multi-phase installation of an oil & gas gathering system, and natural gas and liquid processing facility in the Niobrara shale region.

Features include the recently completed project management, fabrication and construction of around 60 miles of 12-inch and 8-inch pipeline for the gathering system.


In addition, Wood will support the multi-phase installation of the processing facility, which is expected to be fully online before the end of the year. Once operational, it will have capacity to process 60 million cubic feet per day.

Robin Watson, Wood's chief executive said: "This is Discovery DJ Services' first gas plant in Colorado, and we are committed to leveraging our differentiated onshore US footprint and long track record of project delivery, to successfully support this key asset.

"Our experience with onshore facilities is unparalleled across the industry and will help to ensure the project is delivered safely and efficiently."

Cory Jordan, chief operating officer of Discovery DJ Services, added: "The dedication and value added by Wood to our projects in the DJ Basin have been key to our success during this initial phase of construction."
