Equinor has awarded Wood a new three-year contract to manage lifecycle information across nearly 100 of its assets in Norway, covering offshore installations, subsea sites and onshore plants.
Under the deal, Wood will handle technical information updates, maintain lifecycle information records and manage data inside Equinor's System for Technical Information and Documentation, known as STID. STID is Equinor's central record for technical documentation, tags, equipment data and asset information, used from the engineering and project stage through operations and eventual decommissioning.
A new work management system
Wood will also deploy a newly developed work management system built to streamline technical information handling and engineering workflows. The system is meant to improve transparency and traceability, cut manual effort and shorten the time needed to process change requests, and it creates a foundation for future AI-enabled capabilities.
Wood's role and staffing
Tom Johansson, interim senior vice president for Norway at Wood, said the deal "reflects the strength of our long-standing relationship with Equinor" and a shared focus on how technical information gets managed across complex assets. He pointed to more than 25 years of Wood work supporting Equinor's operations as the basis for the domain knowledge and delivery expertise the contract calls for.
Around 35 existing and newly hired Wood employees based in Norway will carry out the work, backed by the company's global engineering network.
Builds on an existing relationship
The award adds to a series of recent contracts between the two companies. Wood already holds two five-year frame agreements covering maintenance and modifications work, plus larger modifications projects, across installations on the Norwegian Continental Shelf and associated onshore plants. In 2025, Wood was awarded a $27 million engineering, procurement, construction and installation contract for infrastructure upgrades at the Snorre field.
