Wood, a consulting and engineering leader, has been contracted by Centrica Energy Storage for the redevelopment of the Rough field in the UK's Southern North Sea to prepare it for hydrogen storage. The project entails front-end engineering design (FEED) activities including the construction of new pipelines, unmanned installations, and onshore injection facilities at the Easington Gas Terminal. This redevelopment is crucial for the UK's energy security and industrial decarbonisation efforts, aligning with the country's net-zero ambition by leveraging hydrogen alongside offshore wind and carbon capture and storage. The partnership between Wood and Centrica Energy Storage aims to futureproof the Rough field and establish it as a significant hydrogen storage facility. While CES envisions the Rough field becoming the world's largest long-duration hydrogen storage site, the final investment decision is contingent on a supportive regulatory framework for gas storage investments in the UK. This project is not only a strategic move towards decarbonisation but also a job creation opportunity, with approximately 50 new roles set to be generated in the UK as a part of this initiative.
