Providing security of supply
Midstream assets play a major role in the world’s energy infrastructure, providing security of supply on both a local and international level. Many of these systems form part of critical national infrastructure and cover complex environments from freezing deepwater seabeds to high altitude, remote terrain.
Installing, operating and maintaining complex pipeline systems requires mapping, permitting and route planning as well as significant engineering and design expertise to ensure long-term, reliable operations.
Furthermore, as governments and operators look to provide sustainable energy for cities and industries of the future, there is a clear opportunity to electrify current systems, repurpose infrastructure for hydrogen and carbon capture and storage, and introduce automated systems to increase integrity and assurance.
Lower carbon and digitally enabled operations
With global energy demand on the rise, upstream production will continue to play an important role in providing energy security. But the future of hydrocarbons will be guided by an increased focus on lower carbon and digitally enabled operations.
At Wood, we partner with our clients to secure sustainable economic recovery from existing infrastructure, optimising assets and extend productive field life whilst accelerating the move towards net zero by decarbonising existing assets and producing ‘cleaner’ energy.
Our decades-long track record in upstream is exceptional. We design, engineer, build, operate and maintain the most complex assets in the world, in the harshest of environments, providing solutions across the asset life cycle from concept to decommissioning.
