In Iraq, Wood was awarded project management and engineering services by PetroChina for the West Qurna 1 oilfield in the country’s south, one of Iraq’s largest producing assets.
The company also secured a series of decarbonization contracts across major Iraqi oilfields, focusing on flare gas reduction and carbon efficiency solutions, reflecting the growing emphasis on emissions reduction in regional energy strategies.
In the UAE, Wood will act as project management consultant (PMC) to TA’ZIZ for the development of the country’s first methanol production facility at Al Ruwais Industrial City in Abu Dhabi, a project that supports downstream diversification and the expansion of the chemicals sector.
Additional awards include an advisory and due diligence framework for a global energy and chemicals investment company, highlighting Wood’s growing role in strategic advisory services alongside traditional engineering and project delivery.
Industry analysts note that the scale and diversity of these contracts demonstrate sustained investment momentum in the Middle East’s energy sector, particularly in gas expansion, downstream development and decarbonization initiatives.
For Wood, the strong performance in 2025 reflects continued client confidence and positions the company for further growth as regional energy markets evolve toward efficiency, resilience and lower-carbon solutions.
