Wood Group has been awarded a five-year, multimillion dollar contract by Phillips 66 to provide supplemental maintenance services and support for small capital construction projects and turnarounds to the Sweeny Refinery, approximately 65 miles southwest of Houston, it announced on Monday.

The FTSE 250 company said 175 Wood Group employees, around 80% of whom worked for the previous contractor, would be based at the refinery to provide the maintenance services.

Wood Group said it has supported the refinery for more than 20 years, providing specialty heating, ventilation and air conditioning and construction services, and upgrades to the process controls, alarms and environmental data management systems.

“This contract builds on our long-standing relationship with Phillips 66 supporting the Sweeny facility and other downstream and chemical assets across the US,” said Wood Group asset life cycle solutions business CEO for the Western region Andrew Stewart.

“We look forward to providing cost-effective services and efficient manpower practices to improve the refinery’s performance across our maintenance, small capital construction, and shutdowns and turnarounds programs.”
