Expro Nets Subsea Deal from Pacific Santa Ana Off Mauritania

Expro has secured a contract by Pacific Drilling’s subsidiary, Pacific Santa Ana, for the provision of an Intervention Riser System (IRS) for PETRONAS’s Chinguetti field Phase II plug and abandonment (P&A) contract, offshore Mauritania.

The contract, valued at $20 million, will see Expro provide its IRS system with associated surface support equipment, to be deployed from Pacific Drilling’s drillship, Pacific Santa Ana.

The contracted work will take place for an estimated 360 days, the company noted.

Worldwide Oilfield Machine (WOM) will support Expro with the provision of the subsea well access system and technical support team.

The award includes supplying a range of services, including the subsea well access system, lubricator valve, surface flowhead, umbilicals, topsides control equipment and IWOCS (installation and workover control system) package.

Expro will also provide an onshore project management team to support Pacific Drilling throughout the project planning and execution phases, based in Expro’s office in Kuala Lumpur and then locally onshore in Mauritania.

Colin Mackenzie, Subsea vice president at Expro said: “Following the recent news that we have expanded our subsea intervention capabilities with two new well access solutions, we’re delighted to announce this significant contract award.

“This contract allows Expro to continue to expand our service offering to clients, and provide well access through our existing landing string technology, or now through-riser or riserless systems.

“We welcome the opportunity to support Pacific Drilling by providing our technology and services, which will enhance the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the field P&A process from their high specification drillship.”
