Wood will be acquired by Sidara for £240 million after shareholders approved the deal in November. This follows a challenging period marked by a £2.2 billion acquisition of Amec Foster Wheeler in 2017, which left Wood with substantial debts.

Recent contract wins, including a 16-month extension for Shell in the Southern North Sea and a significant contract for the Rio Grande LNG terminal in Texas, indicate continued investment in oil and gas assets. Sidara will inject $450 million into Wood and plans to retain the Wood brand. A court hearing is expected in the first half of the year for final approval.
