HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Expro (NYSE: XPRO), a leading provider of energy services, has signed a technology agreement (ETEC) with Petrobras for the development of a new non-intrusive flowmeter.

The technology will provide flow rates and identify flow patterns, generating online and real-time data availability for control and monitoring of slug instabilities to increase efficiency and optimize production of wells.

The key requirement in this technology development is the non-intrusive aspect of the clamp-on design, as well as the absence of any radioactive source. The first prototype is expected to be installed by Q3 2027.

Talking on the agreement, Gregorio Rodrigues, Expro Vice President of Well Flow Management, commented: "We are delighted to partner with Petrobras to continue providing metering solutions, across Brazil. Expro has been at the forefront of pioneering Mobile Fiscal Metering packages, successfully performing flow metering in over 1,000 wells for a number of clients, including Petrobras. We are dedicated to consistently innovating with purpose, and this agreement is a testament to our commitment to being a technology-driven company.

"The new flowmeter can target multiple scenarios where currently there are challenges understanding the flow pattern and enable the client to adjust the parameters in an effort to optimize the production of the wells on an individual basis. Further developments will allow the solution to be utilized in multiple applications."

Roberta Mendes, Petrobras General Manager for R&D&I in Exploration and Production, commented, "We are hopeful about the development of the technology, which will upgrade the optimization of production from producing wells. The technology has the potential to increase production, especially in slug flow scenarios, and it has the premise of easy implementation in the company's facilities, both onshore and offshore."
