Expro, an energy services provider with capabilities spanning well construction, well flow management, subsea well access, and well intervention and integrity solutions, has won a significant contract for the provision of a well decommissioning solution.
The company has agreed to provide a surface fluid management package and its market-leading 7-3/8” large-bore subsea test tree assembly (SSTTA) with surface tree and controls, providing dual barrier and disconnect capability to facilitate re-entry into the subsea wells.
The contract is reportedly valued at more than US$10mn and will see Expro plug and abandon 52 wells – many of which the company had previously been in the construction of.
“Having been involved in the development phase for many of these fields, we have gained a life of well experience that will be invaluable for this P&A campaign,” said Iain Farley, Expro’s Regional Vice President for Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa. “Our expertise and know how will help deliver key technical and commercial benefits for the client across the project.”
In receiving the contract, Expro drew attention to its unrivalled portfolio of standard and bespoke subsea solutions. The company offers subsea well access systems that interface with any Christmas tree type and can operate in open water or within a drilling riser with blow-out preventer. Expro’s surface well test systems equally provide industry-leading solutions that can be configured to specific well conditions and customer requirements.
“The contract reinforces our reputation as the leading provider of subsea safety systems and surface well test equipment, including within the P&A sector,” Farley added. “It demonstrates our commitment to delivering best-in-class equipment, allied with the highest standards of safety and service quality that Expro is renowned for.”
