Aberdeen-based oilfield services company Expro is set to double its Saudi Arabia workforce after securing two lucrative contracts worth a combined total of more than £30million.
The company yesterday confirmed it had landed a two-year contract with a major Saudi operator, to provide integrated services procedures on 160 sites in Udhailiyah – an eastern province of the country.
The contract, announced at the Adipec oil and gas event in Abu Dhabi, also includes an option to extend for a further 12 months.
“Saudi Arabia was identified as a country with high growth potential for Expro and we are delighted to cement our position through these key contracts,” said business development manager Hussein Elsisi.
“This announcement almost doubles our activity in the country and demonstrates our ability to provide tailor-made products and services, which has undoubtedly played a significant part in securing this project.
“Operational activity in the area continues on an elevated level, due to the planned number of wells to be drilled in the next few years.”
