Transfield/Worley JV wins NW shelf deal

Woodside Petroleum has awarded a $65 million contract at the North West Shelf to a joint venture between Transfield Services and WorleyParsons.

The joint venture will provide hook-up and commissioning services for Woodside's North Rankin B platform, located around 135 kilometres of the north-west coast of Western Australia.

The agreed scope of work includes the provision of labour and materials for the hook-up and assistance with the pre-commissioning and commissioning of relevant systems for the HUC of the integrated float over deck.

The work covers both the onshore planning phase, including potential visits to the topsides fabrication yard in South Korea, and the offshore implementation phase.

Transfield Services managing director Peter Goode said the contract built on the company's 15-year relationship with Woodside and reinforced its position at the North West Shelf.
