Jacobs wins BP North Sea terminal upgrade
14 Oct 2013
BP has hired Jacobs Engineering Group to deliver its £125 million upgrade of the Sullom Voe terminal in the Shetland Islands.
Jacobs will provide the oil and gas terminal with project management, engineering and construction services for tankage and process unit turnarounds along with extensive fabric maintenance works.
Additionally it will work on projects focussed on improving the condition and reliability of the terminal, in anticipation of increased production demand that is expected to result from field development in the West of Shetland area.
The terminal’s facilities handle oil from mature and continually emerging offshore fields
Jacobs Group vice president Bob Irvin said: “We look forward to using our local and global terminal experience to deliver the planned improvements to the terminal.”
BP’s Sullom Voe terminal handles oil and gas from more than 30 surrounding fields. The terminal’s dedicated processing, storage and loading facilities handle oil from mature and continually emerging offshore fields from both the East and, more recently, West of Shetland.
