LONDON (ShareCast) - The Chairman of Wood Group has traded in 2.1m pounds-worth of shares in the group.

Allister Langlands sold, on behalf of his wife, 250,000 shares 846p each.

The deal was announced on the same day the FTSE 100 energy services giant announced its PSN business has scored a contract to deliver operations and maintenance services to Hess Corporation's Baldpate production platform in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, under a new five-year agreement.

The company will also provide the services to Hess for the Tubular Bells and Stampede deepwater facilities in the Mississippi Canyon and Green Canyon regions of the Gulf of Mexico when they come on stream in the future. The contract will lead to the creation of up to 100 new jobs in the region.

A week earlier the company reported group progress in the year-to-date and said at its annual general meeting that it is confident of achieving full year performance in line with expectations.

However, Wood Group GTS is currently behind plan, although this is anticipated to be recovered over the course of the year.
