Expro deploys new ELITE Composition™ service for first time offshore Cyprus, transforming onsite fluid analysis in oil exploration

(IN BRIEF) Expro has achieved the first deployment of its ELITE Composition™ service in an exploration well offshore Cyprus, allowing laboratory-standard hydrocarbon analysis directly at the rig site within eight hours. This innovation replaces traditional months-long laboratory testing, significantly cutting rig time and accelerating project decisions. Combining the new service with TurboPVT™ and contaminant analysis, Expro enabled real-time data validation and enhanced reservoir modeling for the operator’s East Mediterranean project. The success underscores Expro’s leadership in onsite well flow management and its commitment to advancing efficient, high-value sampling technologies for global exploration markets.

(PRESS RELEASE) ABERDEEN, 3-Nov-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Expro (NYSE:XPRO) has completed the first successful deployment of its ELITE Composition™ service for a major oil and gas operator on an exploration well in Cyprus, marking a major step forward in real-time fluid characterization at the rig site.

Launched earlier this year, the ELITE Composition™ service allows operators to obtain laboratory-grade hydrocarbon composition data directly at the rig site in as little as eight hours, eliminating the lengthy delays associated with shipping samples to international labs. This innovation delivers faster decision-making and significant reductions in rig time and project costs.

Traditionally, verifying hydrocarbon quality and ensuring sample integrity required complex logistics and compliance with export regulations, often leading to months-long delays. Expro’s new system brings this critical process onsite, enabling immediate evaluation of reservoir conditions and accelerating exploration workflows.

In this first deployment, Expro combined TurboPVT™, ELITE Composition™, and contaminant analysis to quickly validate sampling runs, providing vital data that supported wireline log calibration, reservoir modeling, and development planning for the operator’s East Mediterranean project.

The company emphasized that this deployment demonstrates its continued commitment to innovation in sampling and analysis technology, helping clients de-risk projects and enhance operational efficiency.

“The success of this first deployment highlights the growing demand for our services and reinforces the strength of our Sampling & Analysis Portfolio in the exploration market,” said Gregório Rodrigues, Expro’s Vice President of Well Flow Management. “We expect ELITE Composition™ to play an integral role in future wells, paving the way for expanded laboratory and sampling opportunities in new frontiers and highly active exploration and appraisal markets.”
