exprogroup.com
Expro is a key provider of reliable downhole video
technology to the oil and gas industry, providing
our clients with clear answers in the toughest
environments.
With the capability to provide services over a
wide-range of wells, both on land and offshore,
Expro can provide rigless intervention with our core
mechanical or e-line methods, as well as coiled
tubing, to optimise production monitoring.
Expro can support throughout the entire well
lifecycle, from initial design through to eventual
abandonment:
• Downhole video monitoring
• Well integrity monitoring
• Production monitoring
• Production optimisation
• Well abandonment

Vision iO WellCAM® digital downhole camera

The Vision iO WellCAM® digital downhole camera
solution can be run on all types of conveyances,
up to 15,000 psi and 125°C/257°F, using only
one camera string to visually log the whole
well in one seamless high resolution image.
Combined with the unique WellViewer™
software, it is possible to pan and tilt 360°
horizontally and 180° vertically, with complete side and
downhole viewing on one platform.
Typical applications include: fishing operations; identifying
casing damages, deformations, parted tubing, perforations;
assessing the condition of gas lift valves, downhole safety
valves and flappers; oil, gas and water entry detection; scale
build-up; monitor milling progress.

DHV ViewMAX Lite™ camera C
L
DHV ViewMAX Lite™ is a slim, high pressure, side and down view camera
R
with superior lighting and temperature rating, and the ability to rotate
the camera to any required orientation.
The 111/16” outer diameter is ideal for small bore wells and utilises
a dedicated LED light and a halogen backlight to give optimum
illumination.
A motor assembly in the tool string can be started and
stopped from surface to rotate the view for optimum 360
degree inspection capability.
The camera requires only a single conductor to send
power to the tool and receive pictures at surface. It can
also be run on fibre optic units for full motion video
capture. Pictures are viewed and stored up hole at up to
30 frames per second without a sacrifice of resolution.

Expro’s memory camera has the capability of recording co
up to 2,200 images with the ability to stop and start
recording at pre-programmed times. It is ideal for Ou
viewing obstructions, restrictions, fish tops and casing ele
damage. Other applications include mechanical
inspections of wellbore hardware and monitoring
wellbore corrosion and erosion. This camera has
the ability to operate on slickline or coil tubing.

Fibre optic camera services

Fibre optic truck F

a
Our fibre trucks have been specifically designed W
for video work giving the operator full control. This d
system is widely used to identify sources of water, t
gas, and hydrocarbons perf by perf under both
static and flowing conditions.

This system features a high resolution live video

output at 30 frames per second. This not only
allows for a complete survey of a well for both
casing or open hole conditions, but also for the
purpose of fluid entry.

Our camera specialists have logged thousands

of wells worldwide to provide an accurate visual
analysis. We provide our customers with the
confidence they need to remediate problem wells.

Our DHV camera systems are also compatible for

electric line or memory application.
 Combination services

The Expro CalVid system

combines the accuracy of
an electronic multi-finger
caliper with the visual images
of a downhole video camera,
resulting in a more accurate
representation of wellbore
conditions. The combined
caliper and video string,
CalVid, allows wellbores to be
measured and visualised at the
same time giving operators
a complete understanding of
the wellbore. Critical decisions
regarding well and production
integrity can then be made
based on a complete and
accurate assessment of the
entire wellbore, minimising
separate runs and rig time
to aid in making critical path
decisions.

Fishing services

Fishing in real-time is also a common application, in both tubing and casing. Operators have endorsed Expro’s camera system’s
ability to accurately evaluate obstructions in both horizontal and deviated fishing applications.

We will reduce downtime, reduce cost, and provide answers you can have confidence in, allowing you to make remediation
decisions. Expro’s camera systems have been deployed inside die collars, overshot, and other open-ended tools allowing them
to be manipulated to retrieve a fish with less expense and downtime.
