Wood Secures Three Year Extension with Equinor on North Sea Mariner Assets Fresh off major wins with ADNOC and Shell, Wood has secured another milestone extending its partnership with Equinor in the North Sea. • A three year contract extension (plus one year option) will see Wood continue providing operations, maintenance, modifications, and support services (OMMS) for the Mariner A platform and Mariner B FSU. • Over 110 employees in Aberdeen and offshore will remain engaged on the project. • Wood has supported Equinor on Mariner since 2020, ensuring safe, efficient, and reliable operations. The Mariner field, located ~150 km east of Shetland, is expected to produce more than 300 million barrels of oil over the next 30 years a key contributor to UK energy security. This renewal highlights how strong partnerships between operators and service companies enable long-term success in a changing energy landscape. #OilAndGas #NorthSea #UKCS #EnergySecurity #Equinor #Wood #OffshoreEngineering #EnergyIndustry

🛠➡️ No, this is not a giant dipstick for LNG tanks - Part 2 Since my post yesterday was so well received, I thought I’d take a moment to explain a bit more about how the SI-7000 LTD system actually works. Back in 2019, I had the chance to collaborate with Phil Salazar at Scientific Instruments, Inc. to create a 3D video showing how this clever piece of equipment monitors Level, Temperature, and Density inside large LNG tanks. Here’s what’s happening inside the tank: The sensor is first lowered to the very bottom to set a reference point. Then it travels upward, stopping at fixed intervals to collect readings: ➡️ Temperature at each depth ➡️ Density, using a vibrating element whose frequency shifts based on the surrounding fluid ➡️ It even detects the liquid/vapor surface by picking up a sharp change in resistance Once it reaches the top, it’s lowered again, and the cycle repeats. This generates a full vertical profile of the LNG inside the tank—critical for identifying stratification, managing boil-off gas, and predicting rollover events before they occur. #LNG #SI7000 #LTD #ScientificInstruments #rollover #stratification #density
