"We are committed to building a sustainable business in Africa and are very clear about the countries and projects which we target, knowing where and how our expertise can enhance our customer's operations," said James Crawford, Wood Group PSN's Managing Director for Africa.

Wood Group GTS, provider of rotating equipment solutions, has secured a long-term service agreement covering two GE Frame 9E gas turbines for an operator in Ghana.

Wood Group Mustang, the process and facilities group of Wood Group Engineering, is providing detailed engineering for wellhead platforms, a production processing platform and a living quarters platform for an offshore project in Angola.

"Our commitment to building relationships and bringing economic value to African countries continues with recent project activity in the region," said the division's Executive Vice President, Michele McNichol.

"We are expanding our history of successful project delivery to support the development of energy resources in this key oil and gas region and in providing career opportunities for local personnel."
