Explosive services

The ability to perform cost-effective intervention programmes is critical to ensure that performance
is optimised throughout the life of the well. Expro’s range of wireline intervention services ensures
that the latest tools are always available and our customers are offered the optimal solutions.

Expro’s philosophy is rooted in a continuous cycle of measurement, intervention and assessment at a field and well level, where
Expro ensures the tool string deployed is designed to provide the information required for accurate and confident decision making.

Perforating
Expro provides a comprehensive range of
perforating services, with gun systems
able to be deployed on electric line or
using Expro’s Slickline Depth Correlation
system and slickline triggers for slickline
operations.

Slickline Depth Correlation System

The Slickline Depth Correlation System
applies corrections to each perforating run
to compensate for the various factors that
affect slickline depth. For example,
wellhead pressure, surface tension,
logging tension, wire length, tool length
and tool weight are all accounted for. This
step change in slickline accuracy and
versatility is backed up with an extensive
track record.

Well integrity

Expro provides a full range of services to ensure our clients can both maintain and demonstrate
well integrity. These services range from integrity surveillance, using multi-finger calipers and
downhole video cameras, to a full data analysis service and our bespoke software solution,
SafeWells, to monitor and report well integrity.
In addition to this we can supply remedial solutions, from tubing patches, well isolation and completion retrieval, to wellhead maintenance.

Production monitoring

During the well lifecycle, production monitoring data analysis can indicate that optimum production
requires intervention operations. These operations can improve performance of existing zones,
open new un-perforated sections or isolate trouble zones.

Expro’s world-class pre-intervention modelling and analysis service assists operators to choose the most effective technique to perform
the required operation, following which Expro provides a full range of services to perforate, stimulate and isolate using toolstrings that
can be deployed on slickline or electric line.

Post job, Expro provides a production analysis service to check intervention effectiveness and help plan future/similar intervention
programs.

Production logging
Expro has established itself as the global
market leader in cost-effective memory
production logging. In addition, surface read-
out PLTs are also available where Expro
provides electric line services. The on-site
acquisition services are backed up by DACs
which provide expert analysis to fit client
needs.
Expro’s production logging strings can be
deployed via slickline, coil tubing and electric
line in vertical, deviated or horizontal wells. A
range of sensors can be incorporated
depending on the client needs.

Memory gauges
Expro’s downhole memory gauges have
established a global reputation for reliability,
providing the industry with bottom hole
pressure and temperature data of the highest
integrity. Expro’s downhole gauges cover a
complete range of applications including high
pressure/high temperature testing at 20,000
psi and 200°C, extended surveys in excess of
one-year duration and short gauges for side
pocket mandrel installations or restricted
height rig-up applications.
Fast sampling can be achieved with large
memory capacity, allowing better
characterisation of early-time data.

Water Investigation Tool

The Expro Water Investigation Tool combines
a downhole video camera with several logging
sensors to give a tool that is designed to
pinpoint hydrocarbon and water entry points
in wells where water cuts are in excess of
50%. It is especially suited for deviated wells
where segregated flow makes fluid ingress
and identification more challenging.

Video services

Expro is the market leader in providing a complete solution for all customers’ well integrity needs
using a combination of calipers, logging tools and downhole video cameras. All services can be
deployed on electric line or slickline to ensure the customer is offered the maximum versatility.

Expro’s market leadership in downhole video is based on technology and service. Our operators are skilled at well preparation to
ensure the greatest chance of successful pictures. Patented lighthead design, superior transmission rates and patented lens
surfactant ensure that we provide superior picture quality and service.

Fibre-optic camera
Real-time, full-motion downhole video
services provided by Expro utilise a fibre-
optic telemetry system that allows
distortion-free transmission of clear,
sharp video from downhole. The key to
the system is the dedicated logging
cable containing an optical fibre for
transmitting video from the downhole
camera to the surface equipment over
long cable lengths.
For ‘fibre jobs’, Expro’s team will bring
out their own logging truck with the fibre
optic cable.
