Wood Group Kenny (WGK) Australia was awarded a contract to provide engineering and project management services to Sunbird Energy Ltd. for its Ibhubesi gas project, off the west coast of South Africa.
Under the contract WGK’s initial phase of the work involves the concept and definition phases, with the objective of moving the project into FEED in Q1 2014.
