Expro Excellence
Fluids sampling and analysis
Enhanced production test monitoring through onsite analysis package
Customer challenges
  • A Middle East operator was carrying out a major field expansion offshore while continuing to develop their existing assets
  • They required onsite gas and water analysis during production testing of their new wells along with sample collection for offsite PVT analysis and further fluid characterization
Expro Excellence
  • Expro identified, sourced, and mobilized analytical equipment to cover the entire scope of work for the first two packages within three months and had six packages ready within six months
  • Our equipment was contained within newly built, bespoke, Zone 1 rated laboratory cabins
  • We rapidly expanded our team of experienced chemists for this project, using remote recruitment and training due to COVID restrictions
  • Expro implemented an onshore QA regime to ensure the data quality utilizing engineers and support staff from the technical centers based in the UK and Norway
  • Data was comparable with that obtained onshore, but reported within hours of sampling and continuously over a twenty-four-hour period enabling the client to observe the well performance in real time and rapidly respond to any changes
Value to client
  • The operator was able to monitor the well clean up in real time with assessment of the performance of acidification treatment
  • They were able to end clean up as soon as criteria were met, thus avoiding unnecessarily protracted flow periods, saving rig time, costs and minimizing emissions
  • Comprehensive data of reservoir fluid properties across the field was obtained
  • Average JPR of 93%
  • Over 21,000 hours with zero NPT or HSE incident
