Worley wins Woodside engineering and services gig extension

Contractor will continue to support Western Australian gas and LNG facilities.

Australian contractor Worley has won a two-year extension to its existing non-binding frame agreement with compatriot Woodside Energy for its onshore assets in Western Australia.

Worley on Thursday confirmed it would provide brownfield engineering and procurement services to the Karratha Gas Plant and King Bay Supply Base – which is operated by Woodside on behalf of the North West Shelf project joint venture – and the Pluto liquefied natural gas project.

Under the agreement, Worley will continue to provide project management, front-end engineering, detailed design, procurement and commissioning services for onshore brownfield projects required by Woodside during this period.

The potential value of this contract extension was not divulged.

The contractor has provided engineering services to Woodside for more than 20 years utilising a variety of contracting models; and commenced services under the above agreement and has been continuously servicing these plants since 2018.

The services will continue to be executed by Worley’s team in Perth and Karratha, Australia, with support from the Worley Global Integrated Delivery (GID) team in India. Worley categorises this two-year extension as transitional work.

“We’re pleased to continue our support of Woodside, bringing our global expertise and capability to bear across the full energy sector value chain,” said Chris Ashton, Worley chief executive.

“Our proven track record of delivering brownfield sustaining capital programs within complex operating environments enables us to successfully support Woodside’s Australian assets.”
