Wood's share in the joint venture generated EBITA of around $3m in the year to 31 December 2017. The disposal is expected to complete in the fourth quarter of 2018.
"This transaction makes a significant contribution to our non-core asset disposal programme which is a key element of our deleveraging plan," said Wood chief financial officer David Kemp.
