A contract in place since 2010 between Wood Group and Nexen was extended after Wood Group received a five-year contract from Nexen valued at $150 million, a press release said April 21.

Wood Group will continue delivering operations, maintenance and technical support across Nexen's North Sea offshore assets-- the Buzzard, Scott and Golden Eagle platforms.

More than 190 jobs are retained under the contract, which is effective immediately and builds on Wood Group's 12-year relationship with Nexen in the U.K. Continental Shelf (UKCS).

This is the third contract extension Wood Group has secured in the UKCS this year.

In April, the company announced a two year contract with TAQA, extending its provision of engineering, construction and maintenance services to five UKCS offshore assets. In February, Wood Group secured an extension to continue supporting Chevron Upstream Europe across four offshore assets in the North Sea.
