Wood Group has been awarded a contract with Marine Well Containment Co. (MWCC) to provide an operator training simulator, supporting training for containment in the event of a deepwater well control incident in the Gulf of Mexico, according to a news release.
Under the contract, the simulator will be developed by Wood Group Kenny using its proprietary software VP Link and Virtuoso and will be located at the MWCC shore base near Corpus Christi, Texas, the release said. It will be used to train operators who will be involved in the deployment of MWCC’s well containment equipment if capture operations are required for an incident response.
Wood Group has worked with MWCC for four years, providing services including several flow assurance studies for MWCC’s cap and flow design and developing the company’s process operational procedure, according to the release.
