Energy services provider Expro has landed a significant milestone with the 100th deployment of its cementation technology SeaCure; this time for a five-well subsea batch campaign in Australia.
An exclusive offering on cementing portfolio, SeaCure technology was originally developed by DeltaTek, which Expro acquired last year. While the acquisition widened Expro’s technology portfolio in the well construction cementing sector, it also unlocked global access for DeltaTek. Recently, Expro completed the acquisition of integrity and intervention specialist, Coretrax, as well.
Ultimate cement placement
SeaCure helped maintain the quality primary cementation of the conductors, eliminating major risks associated with cement slurry placement.
A proprietary stabbed-in inner string technique was involved in post-cementing circulation via the inner annulus until slurry curing was complete. This ensured reliable installation of the top holes.
Alistair Geddes, Expro’s Chief Operating Officer, said, "Reaching our 100th global SeaCure job is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our team, as well as the strength of our technology and solutions. We are proud of providing the platform for Tristam Horn and the legacy DeltaTek to expedite their growth journey and quest for providing innovative solutions to our clients.
“Ineffective cementation is one of the single biggest contributors to cost over-runs, poor life of well integrity and ultimate failure of well objectives. Expro’s robust Cure portfolio has been developed to solve many of the issues associated with cementing subsea wells with the aim of delivering first time ultimate cement placement. SeaCure is an example of Expro’s commitment to investing in innovation, developing new technologies and delivering value and excellence to our clients globally."
