John Wood Group PLC (WG.LN) said Thursday that it has been awarded a one-year contract to provide front-end engineering design for IRPC PCL's (IRPC.TH) petrochemical complex in Thailand's Rayong province.

The contract will be delivered from Wood's offices in Sriracha, Thailand, and secures around 100 jobs in the country, the FTSE 100-listed energy-services company said. The value of the contract wasn't disclosed.

The deal is meant to support IRPC's expansion of its aromatics business for a paraxylene complex to be built at the Thai company's existing site in Rayong, Wood said.

Wood shares at 0854 GMT were up 1.1% at 739.80 pence.
