Aberdeen-based Wood Group has been awarded a contract to help develop what is thought to be one of the world's biggest oil fields, in Iraq.
Majnoon is estimated to hold about 38 billion barrels of oil.
About 200 Wood Group workers will provide tools, services and test equipment to assist the start-up, commissioning and testing of the field, which lies near Basra.

The project is being overseen by Shell Iraq Petroleum.
The one-year contract was awarded to Wood Group-CCC, a joint venture between Wood Group PSN and Consolidated Contractors Company.
