Expro to supply TRS technology for Netherlands' first offshore CCS project
Energy services provider Expro has secured a contract to supply Tubular Running Services (TRS) as part of a major Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project in the Netherlands.
The contract includes the recompletion and conversion of legacy offshore gas production wells into CO₂ injection wells, decommissioning of shallow wells and drilling of platform slot recovery wells. The project, which is the first offshore CCS storage system in the Netherlands, aligns fully with Expro’s sustainability objectives.
Expro will deliver the contract using its proprietary non-marking TRS technology which has been specifically designed to run corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) tubulars. In a highly corrosive C02 environment, this will maximize the longevity of the pipe and help address the challenges of long-term well integrity assurance.
“Securing this contract for this major CCS project highlights Expro’s advanced technical expertise in deploying CRA tubulars," said Iain Farley, Regional Vice President for Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa at Expro. "The specific technologies being used throughout the project are proven in the oil and gas sector and it is fantastic to see these capabilities helping to unlock the potential of the CCS sector. Expro TRS services are designed for safety, efficiency and precision, and so we look to be playing a vital role in supporting the success of this project."
Expro’s portfolio of solutions offers the most complete line of tubular handling products and devices encompassing all sizes of large OD tubulars, surface, and intermediate casing, through to production casing and tubing, whilst also offering a fleet of drill pipe handling tools for harsh drilling operations and heavy landing strings.
