International oilfield services company, Expro, has achieved a significant milestone as it enters Qatar for the first time and expands its Middle Eastern presence with a five-year contract win.

The contract will see Expro provide its range of well intervention and slickline services including high deviation and heavy-duty fishing offshore Qatar, as well as in drilling and workover locations in-country.

Tarek Hekal, Senior Area Manager – Middle East, said:

“This contract is a key win for Expro in the region as we expand our presence to better serve our clients.

“In current market conditions, Expro recognises the need for operators to lower production costs. We will work closely with operators in the region to bring planning, operational and technical expertise that adds real commercial benefit to the cost of intervention.”

For the financial year ending 31 March 2015, Expro’s presence in the Middle East and North Africa region grew with stronger positions in all its main operating countries providing the opportunity to introduce a range of new technologies, products and services into these markets.
