Turkish Petroleum has appointed Wood as the integrated project management partner for the Sakarya Gas Field Development Project. Located 93 miles (150 km) off the coast of Turkey in the Black Sea, the Sakarya Gas Field has a confirmed capacity of 14 tcf (405 x 109 m3) of natural gas. On completion of the first phase in 2023, 353 MMcf/d (10 x 106 m3/d) of gas will be delivered to the Turkish grid helping to build energy resilience across the country.
Wood, a global consulting and engineering company, will carry out the integrated project management and engineering verification for the first engineering, procurement, construction, and installation phase of the project, which includes engineering, procurement, and installation of the subsea production system, gas transport pipeline and umbilical, and onshore processing facility in Filyos, Turkey.
“The Sakarya Gas Field will make a significant contribution to the development and growth of the Turkish energy industry and the wider economy,” said Andy Hemingway, president of energy, innovation, and optimization at Wood. “With decades of experience, Wood is uniquely positioned to deliver on this new contract, and we are delighted to be continuing our longstanding working relationship with Turkish Petroleum on this milestone project.”
