Wood secures contracts with Beach Energy and MEPAU for emissions reduction in Australia

Wood has entered into contracts with Beach Energy and Mitsui E&P Australia (MEPAU) to create solutions that align with emissions reduction goals set by Australia’s National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act. This alignment represents an ongoing effort to decrease emissions baselines by 4.9 percent yearly until 2030.

These forward-thinking projects will specifically focus on slashing carbon emissions at Beach Energy’s facilities throughout Australia and New Zealand, as well as MEPAU’s Waitsia Gas Project in Western Australia. By applying innovations in maintenance, operations, and brownfield engineering, Wood’s contracts aim to enhance operations and plant reliability, optimize energy use, and facilitate electrification.

The result is expected to be a well-defined portfolio of initiatives aiming at key emissions reduction targets over the coming seven years. Wood has previously utilized its proprietary decarbonization SCORE methodology with other clients, delivering strategic roadmaps that enable 15-20% reductions in Scope 1 and 2 carbon dioxide equivalent emissions.

Azad Hessamodini, Executive President of Consulting at Wood, expressed, “We are proud to play a leading role in critical decarbonization projects for the energy industry. Projects like these are essential in ensuring energy security, providing power to Australian communities while at the same time minimizing emissions and enabling energy transition in the Asia Pacific region.”

Hessamodini further emphasized Wood’s significant experience in providing digital and decarbonization solutions for oil and natural gas facilities. He added, “Our track record and deep domain expertise enable us to provide accurate emissions baselines and data-driven reduction of carbon intensity, delivering maximum value and impact for our clients.”

This partnership between Wood, Beach Energy, and MEPAU represents a pivotal step in Australia’s ongoing push to achieve substantial emissions reduction, aligning with national objectives and contributing to global efforts to mitigate climate change.
