Aberdeen oilfield service provider Expro has announced a multimillion-pound award in Australia.
It is to provide a full well-service contract to a large operator in a deal estimated to be worth about £13million.
Work is due to start shortly on the project that will continue until the end of 2014, and involve services on both an ongoing and specific “callout” basis.
Expro’s business-development manager for Australia, Matt Donald, said yesterday : “Our successful track record in the challenging and highly regulated north-west shelf in Australia is testament to an investment in our people, performance and partnerships.
“The contract is of particular significance to Expro as we have been chosen to provide the full range of well-flow management services which will allow us to introduce other products and services from our core strengths in exploration and appraisal well testing.”
Expro employs 5,000 people in 50 countries, including 60 in Australia. The firm is looking to grow its workforce in the country to 100 this year on the back of this contract and other deals in the region.
