Repsol Sinopec awards 5-year North Sea well management contract to Expro

Oil and gas company Repsol Sinopec Resources UK has awarded a five-year servicing contract to well management company Expro.

The deal, which was announced on the first day of the SPE Offshore Europe conference in Aberdeen, is worth £5 million for the first calendar year before annual review.

Expro will handle well “intervention services” across all of Repsol Sinopec’s UK North Sea assets including assuring and improving production and decommissioning. Workers will supervise all offshore intervention including downhole cameras, explosive services and sampling.

“Securing this significant agreement gives a major boost to our UK well intervention business, as we work hard to maintain contracts with valued, long term customers,” said Expro’s UK manager Gary Sims. “It continues our excellent relationship with Repsol Sinopec (formerly Talisman), which goes back to the company’s arrival in the North Sea two decades ago.”
