Our operations in Norway
Wood’s roots in Norway run deep. Our story started in the early 1800s in the shipyard industry of Sandefjord, designing ships and rigs. Fast forward to today, and we have grown into a truly trusted partner for the Norwegian energy industry.
We’re proud to support major operators on the Norwegian continental shelf to design, operate, optimise and maintain critical onshore and offshore assets. We are a full asset lifecycle partner, providing value-focused, fit for purpose and quality solutions, from front-end engineering design to decommissioning.

Supporting subsea and energy transition
Specialist engineering
With a long history of subsea engineering in Norway, Wood delivers expertise from early-phase studies through to execution and operations. Our multi-disciplinary, technology enabled teams support complex developments across the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
We’ve provided detailed design for subsea infrastructure and pipelines on the Halten Øst development and have executed the design of Norway’s deepest subsea pipeline at a water depth of 1400m.
Our experience in oil and gas is now accelerating the energy transition. We’ve supported almost half of all CO2 storage licenses in Norway, applying our CO2 transport and subsea knowledge to enable carbon capture and storage solutions.
Customer success story
Modifying Equinor’s assets to integrate wind power.
The challenge:
Equinor’s Gullfaks and Snorre platforms needed to be upgraded to receive wind power from Hywind Tampen - the first offshore floating wind park designed solely for electrifying oil and gas infrastructure.
The solution:
Wood executed topside modifications across Equinor’s Gullfaks and Snorre assets, including engineering, procurement, fabrication and installation scopes.
The result:
Wood facilitated platform upgrades, making the integration of the wind park possible.
