The Expro Group, Aberdeen, Scotland, has announced the acquisition of North American-based Tripoint Inc. to enhance the range of downhole products and services available from its Cased Hole business stream to the North American market. Tripoint is a provider of engineered well completion and perforating systems to the Gulf of Mexico region, and will be integrated with the Group's existing services to offer enhanced performance tubing - and wireline-conveyed well perforating systems to a global clientbase.
With operating centres in Lafayette, La., Calgary, Can., and Alice, Tex., the acquisition of Tripoint is an instrumental part of the Expro Group's development strategy to significantly expand operations in the deepwater regions of North America. Aside from providing clients with immediate benefits through an extended range of products and services, Tripoint's Canadian customers offer instant access to one of the world's fastest growth regions for E&P activity.
Tripoint offers innovative and reliable solutions using industry recognised equipment, engineered for increased wellbore performance that suits client's completion requirements. The comprehensive range of services includes firing and gun systems together with accessory tooling, and ideally complements the Expro Group's existing Cased Hole services. Tripoint's perforating systems include involvement with market leading products such as 'ExcapeSM', casing conveyed well perforating systems and 'Powr*Perf', a new completion method that combines extreme over-balance, tubing-conveyed perforating (TCP) with simultaneous proppant injection to enhance near-wellbore conductivity.
Cased Hole Services, within which the products and services of Tripoint are packaged, focus predominantly on the production phase, combining synergistic businesses that each deliver downhole or in-well production enhancement. To date, this encompasses wireline technologies, explosive services, production logging, corrosion monitoring, data acquisition, fluids and sampling, and well engineering / operations resources through EGIS (Expro Group Integrated Services).

These products and services are packaged into three distinct business streams: Cased Hole Services, Subsurface Systems and Surface and Environmental Systems, giving clients the ability to maximize the recovery of their reserves.
