Expro completes P&A for subsidiary of Petronas

Expro said it has completed an integrated Plug and Abandonment (P&A) contract valued at more than US $20 million for a subsidiary of PETRONAS, PC Mauritania 1 Pty Ltd (PCMPL), which manages offshore operations in Mauritania, West Africa. 

The company said that the project used Expro’s integrated Open Water Intervention Riser System (OWIRS) for “intervention and barrier placement” on 15 wells for PCMPL’s Chinguetti Field Phase II works.  

“This campaign was our first venture into the intervention riser system market. Despite the logistical and HSE challenges created by the global pandemic,” said Graham Cheyne, Expro’s Vice President of Well Access and Subsea. 

The company said the system has performed over 250 functions during the project with 100 percent operational uptime and no non-productive time (NPT) incurred.
