UK-based Wood Group PSN (WGPSN) has secured a contract from Esso Highlands, a subsidiary of Exxon Mobil, to provide engineering, procurement, construction and maintenance services to a liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Papua New Guinea (PNG).
WGPSN will provide construction and maintenance services to the Hides gas conditioning plant in the PNG highlands, and the LNG plant northwest of Port Moresby.
The company will develop natural gas production and processing facilities, onshore and offshore pipelines and liquefaction facilities under the project.

"WGPSN has a long history with ExxonMobil globally, providing operations and technical support through integrated brownfield and engineering service contracts in Australia and Asia Pacific, the US and Africa," Gavin added.
The PNG LNG project is a joint venture with Oil Search, National Petroleum, Santos, JX Nippon Oil and Gas Exploration, Mineral Resources Development and Petromin PNG Holdings.
