Leading international oilfield services company, Expro, has secured a key contract offshore Canada with Statoil in the Flemish Pass Basin. The initial 4-year contract is valued at $45m with options for two 1-year extensions.

The contract will include the provision of surface well testing and subsea safety systems, drill stem testing tools, tubing conveyed perforation, downhole sampling and on-site chemistry services.

Expro is well established in eastern Canada, providing well testing and subsea services for 15+ years to key clients in the region. The local workforce is based in the company’s state-of-the-art operational facility in Paradise, Newfoundland, which opened in 2012.

Mark Enget, Vice President – North America, comments: “This project will allow Expro to build on our strong global relationship and success working with Statoil.

“Our proven track record, commitment to safety, customer service and quality field performance will ideally position us to assist the Flemish Pass Basin exploration and appraisal campaign.

“Furthermore, Expro Canada’s close working relationship with our teams in Norway provides a global network of shared expertise and skilled personnel to support Statoil’s planning and development.”

Earlier this year, Expro announced a $200m contract with Statoil providing fully integrated well testing and sampling services on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
