Houston-headquartered Expro has secured a contract with a North Sea operator to carry out plugging and abandonment (P&A) operations across a minimum of six wells. The contract covers six wells operated by the unnamed North Sea operator, but has an option to expand to a further six. Paley said: “Expro has in-depth knowledge of North Sea wells and has performed numerous operations on many of these wells over their lifecycle. Over its four-decade-plus run in the North Sea, it has carried out more than 3,000 subsea deployments and has established a base of operations in Aberdeen.
