In addition, the oilfield services company will deliver an onshore project management team in Kuala Lumpur and then locally onshore in Mauritania.
Pressure and flow control equipment manufacturer Worldwide Oilfield Machine will provide the subsea well access system and technical support team.
Expro subsea vice-president Colin Mackenzie said: “This contract allows Expro to continue to expand our service offering to clients, and provide well access through our existing landing string technology, or now through-riser or riserless systems.
“We welcome the opportunity to support Pacific Drilling by providing our technology and services, which will enhance the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the field P&A process from their high specification drillship.”
