Wood, the Aberdeen-headquartered energy and engineering services heavyweight, has hailed a “year of strategic growth” in the Middle East with $580 million (£425m) of business wins secured.

Bosses said the firm was helping businesses to optimise energy production, reduce carbon impact and accelerate the energy transition across the region.

The contracts awarded in 2021 will see Wood’s teams across the Middle East work together with a range of “valued partners” and clients to optimise energy production and extend onshore and offshore asset life in Bahrain, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE.
