Expro will be demonstrating its investment in new technologies at this year’s Offshore Northern Seas (ONS), Stavanger (24-27 August 2010). The specialists in well flow management will showcase some of the latest innovations being developed by Expro to meet the challenges faced by operators across the global oil and gas industry. Expro offers the complete package of solutions to its customers, across the lifecycle of their wells, from exploration and appraisal to abandonment.

Deepwater Intervention

On show will be Expro’s solution to subsea well intervention – the AX-S system – which will break new ground in deepwater intervention when it comes to the market. AX-S™ (pronounced ‘access’) brings cost-effective, riser-less intervention to wells in up to 10,000ft of water. Expro’s goal is to deliver a full range of wireline intervention services in deepwater wells at substantially less than the cost of using a rig. Visitors to the stand will learn more about the capabilities of this new technology through discussions with the senior AX-S team.

Clamp-on metering technology

Visitors will also learn of the benefits brought to the industry by the Expro Meters range of clamp-on sonar-based metering technology, which offers wellhead surveillance on demand. Expro offers round-the-clock, 24/7 well surveillance, providing operators with a permanent solution to their wellhead production surveillance needs. Expro’s meters are clamp-on, non intrusive, easily installed and applied without production shutdown. Expro Meters are also available on demand worldwide to provide quick and easy well testing services through our portable clamp-on meters.

Connectors & Measurements

Expro will be unveiling its new SpecTRON 60 penetrator, which is the first connector of its kind to be developed to meet industry demand for connectivity between higher-voltage subsea umbilical cables and subsea transformers on gas compression systems. The SpecTRON 60 is the key enabling technology for high-voltage subsea electrical distribution systems. It is designed to operate as part of a subsea electrical power distribution system and is currently qualified to operate in water depths to 2,000metres. Expro will also unveil its latest Matre subsea sensor – the WEPS-100 – which combines the best features of its market-leading sensor range to create a new, more compact sensor. The new product range brings the industry a cost-effective, reliable and ultra convenient solution for subsea pressure and temperature sensors. With over 10,000 WEPS-style sensors produced to date, this product has an unrivalled pedigree in delivering information from subsea wells to maximise well flow management performance.

Complete well test solutions

Expro, which is the largest well testing company in Norway, will also be demonstrating its ability to meet the specific needs of its largest customer in Norway. Expro is currently providing Statoil’s Vega field with the complete package of specialist well testing and sampling services by delivering:

• Customised modular equipment • Improved operational efficiency • Minimised rig-up time • Superior technology • Enhanced safety systems • Real-time data delivery

Expro Chairman Graeme Coutts said: “Our investment in technology has reached record levels and we are proud to demonstrate the enhanced capabilities of our new and emerging products to ONS visitors. This is an important platform for Expro to further develop relationships with our customers, and to introduce the benefits of our complete range of well flow management solutions to the thousands of visitors who will be attending the show.” Expro is at Stand 251 in Hall B.
