Leading international oilfield services company Expro has recently secured a contract win in the Middle East with Eni Iraq BV, lead contractor of the Zubair Consortium.

The contract, providing chemical analysis laboratory work, for the Zubair field in Southern Iraq, represents Expro’s first direct contract in Iraq and is recognition of Expro’s expertise in the provision of analytical services.
Running for the duration of three years with a possible two-year extension and worth in the region of $12.5million, it also serves as an opportunity for Expro to enhance its relationship with the leading operator in the Middle East /North Africa region.
