Ampol extends partnership with Wood for Lytton refinery maintenance

Under the two-year agreement, Wood will continue to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient fuel production at the refinery by providing maintenance management as well as multi-disciplined technical and brownfield modification field services.

In addition, Wood will deploy maintAI, its proprietary digital maintenance technology, to optimise maintenance strategies at the refinery through AI-powered data analysis. maintAI will identify and prioritise critical activities, reduce non-essential tasks, and enhance asset reliability.

The Lytton refinery is critical to Australian domestic energy security and has the capacity to process 6.5 billion l/yr of crude oil.

Ralph Ellis, President of Asia Pacific, Operations at Wood, said: “We have worked alongside Ampol for over a decade, delivering quality maintenance solutions at Lytton to ensure the reliability of this nationally significant refinery. This contract extension is testament to the strength our team and their continued commitment to supporting Ampol’s critical refinery operations.”

The reimbursable contract is supported by more than 150 local employees and executed by Wood’s Operations business.
