Wood Group wins project management contract from Discovery DJ Services

Wood Group has secured a contract to provide construction and project management services to Discovery DJ Services in the US.

Under the contract, Wood will offer services across a multi-phase installation of an oil and gas gathering system, and natural gas and liquid processing facility in the Niobrara shale region of Colorado.

The project comprises the recently completed project management, fabrication and construction of around 60 miles of 12in and 8in pipeline for the gathering system.

In addition to the pipeline infrastructure, Wood secured consecutive contracts to provide construction and project management services to support the multi-phase installation of the processing facility.

Wood Group chief executive Robin Watson said: “This is Discovery DJ Services’ first gas plant in Colorado, and we are committed to leveraging our differentiated onshore US footprint and long track record of project delivery, to successfully support this key asset.

“Our experience with onshore facilities is unparalleled across the industry and will help to ensure the project is delivered safely and efficiently.”

The midstream system, which is designed to process 60 million cubic feet per day, is anticipated to be fully online by the end of the year.

Discovery DJ Services provides midstream services to producers drilling the Niobrara and Codell stacked-pay zones in the Denver-Julesberg Basin.
