HOUSTON -- FMC Technologies has signed a five-year extension to its existing five-year frame agreement with Woodside Energy in Australia. Under the agreement, FMC Technologies will provide subsea tree systems for the next five years and associated aftermarket services for the next six years, with options to extend the agreement to ten years.

"Woodside has been a major customer of FMC's for the last fifteen years and a frame agreement partner since 2003," says Tore Halvorsen, senior VP of global subsea production systems at FMC Technologies. "Under the prior frame agreement, we manufactured and supplied more than 65 subsea tree systems to support their developments and we are excited about the opportunity to continue to provide our subsea technology and offshore support services."
