UGL to supply oil and gas maintenance services for Australian projects

CIMIC Group company UGL has been awarded oil and gas maintenance contracts worth A$450m ($302m) for Australian projects.

UGL noted that these contracts, which are active since December 2019, will be executed over a multiple-year period.

The company has received a contract for the extension of maintenance services at the Gorgon LNG project and Wheatstone facilities in Western Australia. The facilities are operated by Chevron.

UGL is engaged in delivering mechanical, electrical, and access services for maintenance, plant turnaround and brownfield execution services to these Chevron facilities. These support services will help generate 1,000 skilled employees and create apprenticeship opportunities.

CIMIC Group CEO Juan Santamaria said: “These contracts exemplify the strength of UGL’s solid client relationships and its position as a market leader in the delivery of maintenance and mechanical, electrical and instrumentation services to the oil and gas industry.”

The company also secured an integrated services contract extension for structural, mechanical, electrical and instrumentation. These will be delivered for the company’s existing clients operating in the field of oil and gas in Western Australia and Victoria.

UGL managing director Jason Spears said: “We are proud of our close working partnerships with leaders in the oil and gas sector in Australia. These contracts reflect UGL’s reputation for strong performance and safe delivery of maintenance and shutdown services.”

In January last year, UGL won $200m contract extensions to provide maintenance and turnaround services for Australian oil and gas clients.
