- 2003 – launch of the primary massive bore 6 ¾” 10 ksi subsea electro-hydraulic management system, within the Gulf of Mexico
- 2005 – first 6 ¾” 10ksi twin bore and mono-bore subsea check tree offshore North Sea and Angola
- 2007 – first 15ksi 6 1/8” horizontal tree SSTTA and electro-hydraulic management system within the Gulf of Mexico
- 2017 – growth of seven 3/8” 10ksi excessive particles SSTTA
Expro’s subsea capabilities have been boosted by the latest acquisition of offshore providers supplier PRT Offshore, the one firm to supply a whole Hook-to-Hanger resolution enabling complete effectively completions, interventions, and decommissioning providers from floor to subsea. The acquisition permits Expro to broaden its portfolio of cost-effective, technology-enabled providers within the North and Latin America (NLA) area and speed up the expansion of PRT Offshore’s floor gear providing into the Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa (ESSA) and Asia Pacific (APAC) areas.
