Shell extends Rolls Wood Group contract

Shell U.K. Limited has extended the gas turbine maintenance contract held by Aberdeen-based Rolls Wood Group (RWG) for a further five years to 2015. The multi-million pound extended contract includes maintenance, repair and overhaul of 27 Rolls-Royce Avon and RB211 gas turbines operating on seven offshore platforms in the UK North Sea.

The extended contract retains the same work scope as the original agreement, awarded in 1999, for maintaining gas turbine drivers for electrical power generation and gas compressor sets.

RWG also provides overhaul services to other Shell companies, including Shell Sarawak, Shell Malampaya, and Shell Brunei.
