The Woodside Energy-operated Trion deepwater oil and gas development offshore Mexico will receive tubular running services (TRS) and cementing services from Expro to build the greenfield project
Before the project is ready for its first targeted oil in 2026, the three-year contract involves the deployment of Expro's well construction technologies, which are designed to deliver effective problem-solving from top drive to target depth. The comprehensive suite of services will involve TRS casing, drilling and completions, casing accessories, cement heads, and Expro's Skyhook system.
Set to be Mexico's first deepwater oil production facility, the Trion greenfield project will be supported by Expro to achieve maximum well performance optimisation alongside technical execution. Its approach will be backed by practices driving cost-effectiveness and operational reliability throughout the project lifestyle.
Woodside and Expro go back a long way, with the latest partnership seeing the establishment of a new Expro hub in the region as Woodside manage operations from its Tampico shore base and office. This will also generate local employment and economic upliftment.
Jeremy Angelle, Vice President of Well Construction said, “With our extensive track record and a reputation as a trusted provider of TRS solutions, we are proud to play a key role in this world-class development. This contract win reflects not only the strength of our technical capabilities and commercial offering but also our legacy of supporting Trion exploration wells through Frank’s TRS and VERSAFLO TM systems.
"This project represents an exciting opportunity to showcase our innovative technologies on a historic deepwater development, and we look forward to building a strong, long-term partnership with Woodside in Mexico.”
The Trion field is situated in the Perdido Fold Belt, approximately 180 km off Mexico’s coastline in the Gulf of Mexico, in water depths of around 2,500 meters.
