Oilfield services company Expro has secured a contract from Maersk Oil to provide subsea and well test services on two offshore units located in the North Sea.

The latest deal will see the partnership between the two companies extended until 2020.

The scope of the agreement includes well abandonment services on two rigs under a 26 well campaign, which will be conducted across the Janice, James, Affleck and Leadon North developments.

It includes additional options to extend the deal for two one-year periods.

Expro Europe CIS region vice-president Neil Sims said: “Our long-standing association has given us deep knowledge and understanding of the aspirations for this project. 

“We enjoy partnering with our clients and particularly Maersk, which is why we were thrilled to secure this contract award.

Expro global well abandonment manager Kevin Illingworth said: “This is an excellent example of a successful long-term partnership that delivers integrated well abandonment services. 

“We are delighted to continue our work on this key North Sea abandonment campaign, ensuring we maintain the highest levels of safety while ensuring a cost-effective approach to this multi-field programme.”

Expro focuses on the provision of subsea and well testing services in the North Sea.

The company introduced its well abandonment product line last year, which offers integrated decommissioning service solutions.
