Amec Foster Wheeler has announced that it has been awarded three contracts by BP to provide services to the Glen Lyon FPSO vessel as part of the Quad 204 Project, located 175 km west of the Shetland Isles, UK.

Amec Foster Wheeler will hook up the new Glen Lyon FPSO to the Schiehallion and Loyal fields and also provide follow-on engineering as part of a contract for any residual works that emerge during the transition from the yard in Korea to BP operations. Amec Foster Wheeler’s completions and commissioning specialist, qedi, is providing electrical and instrument technicians as part of the commissioning support to the Glen Lyon hook up.

The contracts, which are worth £31.5m ($47.1m), will run through to June 2017.
