Expro keeps building its stronghold in the UK North Sea plug and abandonment (P&A) market with its latest contract from a major UK operator, amounting multi-million-pounds.

The agreement secures Expro's delivery of safe subsea services, including 7-3/8” large bore Subsea Test Tree Assembly (SSTTA) safety system that will advance an extensive P&A campaign across a portfolio of mature subsea wells. Expro will be working on six firm wells, with a further six optional wells.

Expro’s subsea well access systems are designed to be robust and reliable, providing dual barrier protection and disconnect capability. This simplifies P&A operations while also minimising operational risk and downtime. These systems are critical to maintaining well integrity throughout abandonment activities, particularly in complex offshore environments. Solus is one of the latest launches by Expro, designed to simplify subsea well control operations while improving efficiency and reducing operational risk. The system addresses longstanding challenges in in-riser subsea well intervention, where conventional methods typically rely on two separate valves, one for shearing and another for sealing coiled tubing.

Carole Paley, Expro’s UK Managing Director said, “Expro has in depth knowledge of North Sea wells and has performed numerous operations on many of these wells over their lifecycle. This deep-rooted expertise supported by local resources enables the delivery of meaningful cost efficiencies. We look forward to working closely with our client on this project as they progress this important campaign over the coming year.”
