Expro (NYSE: XPRO), a major provider of energy services, has reached a significant milestone by completing its 100th global job utilising its field-proven SeaCure cementing technology.
The landmark 100th SeaCure job was part of a five-well subsea batch campaign project in Australia, highlighting Expro’s expertise in providing comprehensive solutions for complex offshore operations.
SeaCure technology, originally developed by DeltaTek and acquired by Expro in 2023, played a crucial role in maintaining the quality of primary cementation for the conductors while mitigating risks associated with cement slurry placement.
Through Expro’s proprietary stabbed-in inner string technique, unique to the company’s cementing portfolio, the SeaCure system enabled post-cementing circulation via the inner annulus until slurry curing was complete.
This approach successfully engineered the risk to a minimum, ensuring reliable installation of the top holes.
Throughout the five-well Australia project, Expro delivered exceptional results, with the successful completion of the fifth well marking the 100th global SeaCure deployment.
Alistair Geddes, Expro’s Chief Operating Officer, commented on the milestone achievement, stating: “Reaching our 100th global SeaCure job is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our team, as well as the strength of our technology and solutions.
“We are proud of providing the platform for Tristam Horn and the legacy DeltaTek to expedite their growth journey and quest for providing innovative solutions to our clients.”
Geddes highlighted that inadequate cementing is a major factor leading to cost overruns, compromised well integrity, and failure to achieve well objectives — stating that ineffective cementing can have severe consequences, making it one of the most significant contributors to these issues.
To address the challenges associated with cementing subsea wells, Expro has developed a comprehensive Cure portfolio.
This robust solution aims to resolve many of the problems commonly encountered during the cementing process.
The primary goal of Expro’s Cure portfolio is to ensure successful and optimal cement placement on the first attempt, thereby enhancing well integrity and achieving the desired well objectives.
Geddes said: “SeaCure is an example of Expro’s commitment to investing in innovation, developing new technologies, and delivering value and excellence to our clients globally.”
Expro’s acquisition of DeltaTek in 2023 broadened the company’s offering, capabilities, and technology portfolio within the well construction cementing sector while accelerating DeltaTek’s international deployment ambitions through Expro’s global footprint.
