EXPRO GROUP AND MAP OIL TOOLS SIGN INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT FOR COMPLETION PRODUCTS

Leading international oilfield service provider, the Expro Group ("Expro") has announced a worldwide licensing agreement to sell and distribute completion products manufactured by US based Map Oil Tools Inc ("Map").

Map manufactures a wide range of downhole products including Bridge Plugs, Cement Retainers, Packers and Service Tools for completion, production, stimulation and well abandonment applications. Map has an industry standard product portfolio and continues to supplement this with new developments to meet market requirements. Notable recent introductions have been the multi-application JS series retrievable packer and a high pressure/high temperature range of production packers.

Under the exclusive agreement, Expro will supply all Map products and market these either on a straight sales basis or as part of a service package to distributors, service providers and end-users. The agreement will support Expro's growing US based Packer and Service Tool business as well as the development of international markets through the group's global infrastructure.

Commenting on the agreement, Graeme Coutts, Expro's President - Western Hemisphere, said: "This agreement provides an excellent business development opportunity for both Expro and Map in what is a significant market segment. We look forward to a successful relationship with an agreement built on Expro's completion services expertise and market presence and Map's technology and manufacturing know-how".
