"Great meeting today with the team at Worley Corporation! Productive discussions and exciting plans ahead. Looking forward to seeing the impact of our collaboration. #WorleyCorporation #BusinessMeeting #PartnershipGoals"

All good things must come to an end for new ones to begin. This Friday is my last day at Wood after 27 years. I’ve decided to retire to pursue more time with family, friends, travel, and too many other interest to list them all here. What an incredible run it’s been from Mustang Engineering/Wood Group Mustang/Wood Group and Wood. The pipeline business was only a few years old and 8 people when I joined in February, 1997. Mustang was still in one building and barely 600 people. As a team of great people with a singular focus to be the best in the business, we grew to over 2,000 people in the pipeline business (now Onshore Midstream) and executed some of the biggest projects in the US and abroad. I helped support Dow projects for all 27 years, worked on Enbridge projects as a PM while transitioning to a BD role, won our first work with Lyondell’s Equistar pipeline business that led to 20 years of great projects, landed the first Shell EFA contract in 2012 that led to a long term “Shell Program”, the Ecopetrol Transporte contract and our first major pipeline projects outside the US, worked on the acquisition of a pipeline engineering business in Calgary and worked with teams that executed the largest pipeline projects in the US (KM Midcon, ET DAPL, Rover, Mariner East & West, FEP, the list goes on an on. I’m leaving on a high note as we just secured the 700 mile Moss Lake DeLa project which will take flared gas from the Permian and deliver it to Louisiana for LNG transport across the globe. What a positive environmental impact the project will have. As I think about what the biggest thing that has impacted my time at Wood, it’s the people. I love when I’m talking with clients the answer has always been, “we can help with that” and know it’s in good hands. I was fortunate to work for 3 people who believed in me, made me accountable, pushed my personal limits and built incredible teams by putting people first above all else and rewarded performance. I always loved Richard Branson’s quote; “Clients do not come first. Employees come first. If you take care of your employees, they will take care of the clients.” All the best!

This is how we work in Aker Solutions within Decommissioning at our Stord Yard in a safe and efficient manner for the environment💚 #alwayshomesafely 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐲𝐝𝐚, 𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐜𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐜𝐞 Gyda was once a huge oil and gas platform, with a total weight of 29,000 tons. Soon most of it will be recycled. Once the project is complete, we expect that around 98 percent of Gyda has been recycled. ♻️ The crane you see on the movie weighs 55 tons and came down safely from a height of 30 meters this week. At the front we made joint cuts in the fall direction, the remaining 500 mm at the back were burned off with an automatic cutter. We attached a wire to the front edge, then controlled pulled by a wheel loader. The crane fell exactly as planned in a gravel pad. The area was safely cordoned off. This is an efficient and safe method to get the structures down to the ground within reach of the large cutting machines and keeping our people away from the line of fire💚 Taking apart an oil and gas platform is no easy task and requires meticulous engineering, planning and safe execution. We are really proud of our people that are in the forefront of this challenging work😊❤️ The Gyda Decommissioning project is a gigantic recycling project, consisting of large quantities of valuable materials that are in high demand on the world market. There is a need for more construction materials. Also, the production of reused steel, copper, aluminum, and other materials emit far less CO2 than the production of new materials. ♻️
