Expro, a leading energy services provider, has introduced its BRUTE high-pressure, high tensile packer system, designed to help operators work more efficiently in extreme conditions of deepwater wells.
Engineered for the highest differential pressures in the market, this new technology allows operators to set higher in the wellbore, saving rig time, reducing operational risk, and simplifying regulatory compliance.
The BRUTE Armor Packer marks a major milestone in Expro's BRUTE product line, positioning Expro as the only provider capable of supporting 20k deepwater projects at this level.
When deployed with the BRUTE 2 Storm Valve, it forms the industry's highest-rated Storm/Service Packer and Valve combination currently available.
Expro was commissioned by a super-major energy company for a high-spec 20k development in the Gulf of America, and the first successful deployment of the 12.25” BRUTE Armor Packer System in April 2025 confirmed its pressure integrity and performance under extreme downhole conditions.
Expro has also introduced a new 20”/22” Packer System, addressing historical challenges of 20” and 22” retrievable mechanical packer systems, delivering efficient, reliable performance for casing testing, suspension, and squeeze applications without compromising operational effectiveness.
Jeremy Angelle, Vice President of Well Construction commented: “This launch firmly establishes Expro’s BRUTE Packers as the industry benchmark for deepwater storm and test packers in terms of pressure and tensile strength. The modular toolset provides unparalleled flexibility, making it the most adaptable solution on the market and positions Expro as the partner of choice for next-generation 20k deepwater developments.-OGN / TradeArabia News Service
