Strengthen China Presence
International oilfield service company Expro has awarded a subsea and well testing contract, exceed USD 25 million (GBP 15 million) due to the successful association betweenoilfield services companies and China Oilfield Services (COSL) in the form of a China based joint venture. These services will be deployed by Expro and COSL’s joint venture, CETS, which is based in Shekou, Shenzhen South China.
This service supports the second stage of Husky’s Liwan gas field subsea development in the South China Sea.The three-year contract includes a surface clean-up and flow-back package with the ability to flow and measure high gas rates.
Expro’s continued support of the joint venture with leading technology and project planning means that CETS is ideally placed to further support the on-going development in the area. Expro’s market-leading subsea safety systems provide reliable and efficient in-riser landing strings for well interventions and completions. Expro is already well established in the deepwater regions of the world, including Africa, Gulf of Mexico and Brazil, with its superior technology and expertise in greater demand as development progresses in the world’s deepwater provinces.
Expro’s modular process equipment measures the performance of a well with acute accuracy. Testing involves flowing the well through a temporary completion and production system in order to measure flow parameters, and to gather representative fluid samples for analysis. These measurements are used to determine commercial viability, as well as to plan potential future completion and production facilities.
Expro’s Express and ELSA in-riser electro hydraulic landing string system will allow the safe installation of all of Husky’s subsea completion operations from the assigned DP drilling rig guaranteeing fast and secure well isolation and system disconnect during the critical well clean-up operations and completion deployment.
