    Wood Group secures new contract with Hess in Malaysia 

    Wood Group has been awarded a five year contract with Hess Exploration &
    Production Malaysia. The operations and maintenance contract is to support
    Hess' new-build fixed and floating offshore facilities in the North Malay Basin
    development area located approximately 150km north east of the Peninsular
    Malaysia, and includes a one-year extension option.

    Delivered by Wood Group's Kuala Lumpur office, the contract will support up to
    130 new full-time positions in Malaysia.

    Integrated operations and maintenance services including core offshore
    personnel, onshore technical support, training and competency assurance
    services will be provided as part of the new contract. Technical services
    covering brownfield engineering, risk-based inspection, integrity management
    and computerised maintenance management system support are also included.

    The contract builds on Wood Group's 15 year global relationship with Hess. This
    includes ongoing support contracts in Equatorial Guinea and the Gulf of Mexico.

    Dave Stewart, CEO for Wood Group's Asset Life Cycle Solutions business in the
    Eastern Hemisphere, said: "This contract to support Hess' significant
    greenfield facilities in Malaysia, demonstrates the proven success of our
    integrated approach on this key client's projects worldwide and their
    confidence in our technical services which optimise production and enhance
    efficiency.

    "Our commitment to creating strong local employment and supply chain
    opportunities in the areas where we work will be reinforced by this contract,
    which will focus on the recruitment and opportunity development for the
    national workforce in Malaysia.

    "We bring our expertise to this partnership with Hess at a key stage of the
    lifecycle of this field, which will commence production in 2017. We look
    forward to leveraging our knowledge and understanding of Hess' operational
    framework to work in close collaboration with them, delivering fully integrated
    operations and maintenance solutions that are focused on adding value to this
    development."
