Expro boosts downhole camera capabilities

Leading international oilfield services company, Expro, has enhanced its cased hole services offering, signing a global agreement with downhole video and camera technology specialist Vision iO.

Expro is recognised as a key provider of reliable downhole video technology to the oil and gas industry through its downhole video (DHV) range. This includes the ViewMax, high temperature and standard memory cameras.

The company's suite of camera technology is successfully deployed in wide range of operations including casing and well integrity monitoring, downhole inspection, operational verification and production monitoring for both on and offshore wells globally.

The agreement with Vision iO will augment Expro's existing offering with the Norwegian-based company's suite of innovative camera technologies, including its WellCAM visual logging platform.

Vision iO's fish eye colour camera technology visually logs the whole well in one seamless high resolution image, providing a 185/360º view of the entire wellbore. This is achieved without switching from front to lateral view, supported by a large internal 128 GB storage capacity - allowing 24 hr continuous recording.
