Products and services

From coiled tubing to snubbing, frac flowbacks, well cleanup,
and production applications, Underbalanced Operations (UBO)
and Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD); Expro PowerChokes
products have been developed to provide superior toughness,
operability, maintenance ease and cost-effectiveness.
Underbalanced drilling and managed pressure drilling require continuous choke use to control the
drilling operation. In extreme use and highly-abrasive applications such as this, long life and rugged
features of the PowerChokes improve operations, minimize downtime and reduce costly
equipment damages. Our ability to install large orifice trim for high flow rate requirements reduces
plugging requirements and allows drilling under a wider range of conditions.
Precise automatic choke control is required for MPD as well as well control operations, such as
kick control. The PowerChoke ABP automatic back pressure control system is specifically
designed to provide this precision in the well operations.
Expro PowerChokes provides both rental and services for choke products/manifolds throughout
the globe and can provide custom solutions to drilling and flow related problems encountered
during operations.

Rental fleet
Expro PowerChokes equipment is designed to provide unparalleled wear resistance and reliability assurance of
unequaled cost value and the ultimate insurance protection for your vital human assets and expensive equipment.
Our rental fleet primarily consists of the SCS, SCB, SCC and SCT in various sizes and pressure ratings.

Our products
Control consoles (electric and pneumatic)
We provide much more than just the severe service drilling and
production chokes to your challenging oilfield operation.
Our experience in engineering, designing and manufacturing is used to incorporate the operation of diverter
valves, subsurface valves, pneumatic safety valves, blowout preventers, electric motor-driven valves and many
other types of remote-operated equipment into the
choke console. Adding these controls eliminates
the need for costly closing units and allows for well
control from a single location, increasing safety for
the entire operation.
Custom control consoles for choke operation
Custom instrumentation packages (hydraulic or
digital)
Custom control consoles for operation of
choke-related equipment
Expro PowerChokes are experts in the mobilization, installation, and maintenance and repair service of all of
our rental and sales items.

Our services
Pressure control/well control
Solids management
Flowback, well clean-up and well testing
Pressure control / well control
Well control situations require the most reliable and safe equipment. Our products are technologicallyadvanced and manufactured to exacting standards. Expro PowerChokes are the choice of renowned
well control experts worldwide.
Frac stack / zipper frac equipment rental
Expro provides frac stacks-temporary well head equipment for use during stimulation and precompletion activities, with a line of 5, 10, 15, and 20K 71/16 hydraulic and manual valves and Zipper
frac manifolds - 7 15K well diverter manifolds, with goat heads for conducting simultaneous frac
operations on up to a four well pad.
Solids management
Post-frac well cleanups, coiled tubing cleanout and completion plug drillout usually involve extremely
abrasive flowing conditions and are often unpredictable - flowing back solids and plug parts require
rugged and precise operation of pressure control equipment.
Our chokes easily control the pre and post frac flowback operations while minimizing equipment
damage and project cost.
Flowback, well clean-up and well testing
Expro PowerChokes superior well clean-up and frac flowback equipment and services are used in
development -wells prior to connection to permanent production facilities. This service includes well
cleanup operations, fluid separation, solids management, fluids management and location oversight
and management.
A typical fracture flowback program for both oil & gas wells onshore and offshore, use a program
comprising a multiple-stage fracture with 3-40 zones per well. Expros special service equipment is
designed to handle high flow rates and pressures, as well as abrasive frac materials recovered during
the flowback, clean-up and subsequent well test.

Additional services
Training, global sales,
commissioning and certification
Training
Expro PowerChokes provides a full array of training and competency courses in the use and maintenance of
our equipment to our customers, field service personnel, drilling personnel, technicians, engineers and
maintenance technicians. This training can be performed in our shop as well as at customer locations.
Custom training can be developed for specific projects or needs.

Global sales
Drilling choke
Our chokes come in various sizes for different applications and pressure requirements. All chokes are
designed and seat-tested to achieve drop tight dealing per API 16C requirements. This exceeds ANSI
B16.104 Class V (FCI 70-2) leakage requirements, without the use of O-rings or other soft sealing elements in
the gate-to-seat seal design. Additional engineering services are provided for specific choke applications.
Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) System
Valve body is of forged construction, API 75K material and impact-tested. It is virtually maintenance free with
high erosion resistance and extended trim life. The control system is ATEX certified with a significantly faster
response time and unparalleled reliability. The system provides much needed redundancy, data logging and
enhanced safety features.
Control consoles
We design and manufacture standard hydraulic control panels as well as PLC/HMI based control panels. For
Client specific needs, our team of engineers will design and engineer custom panels. The panels meet or
exceed industry standards and can be tailored to meet any local codes.
Commissioning
We offer commissioning and installation services with a team of highly qualified and trained service
engineers/technicians. Expro PowerChokes can deploy personnel around the globe on short notice.
Re-certification & certification (aftermarket service)
As an OEM and licensed ISO & API facility, we offer repair/remanufacture/recertification services. These
include but are not limited to chokes, PRV valves and control panels. A Certificate of Conformity is issued for
each product recertified. The API rework levels are RSL1, RSL2 and RSL3.

Technology and innovation

The newly designed Expro PowerChokes Automatic Back Pressure
(ABP) Choke provides superior performance in MPD, automatic flow
control, well control and flowback/well clean-up operations.
Once the desired backpressure is set at the control panel, the choke
automatically maintains the pre-set pressure. As conditions change, or
as kill weight mud is pumped into the well bore, the set
pressure can be changed as needed. This can be done
manually at the control panel, or by a remote signal. The
ABP Choke will be available with either hydraulic or electric
actuators.
A new, more compact, more efficient electric actuator used
with the Expro PowerChokes worm gear actuator will
provide smooth, variable speed, and accurate positioning of
all Expro PowerChokes while utilizing electric power.
The new, improved and patented PRV Max system consists
of a redesigned HPU and HMI/PLC control panel. This
system is ATEX certified with a significantly faster
response time and unparalleled reliability. The
system provides much needed redundancy, data
logging and enhanced safety features.
Choke control panels now meet API 16C
requirements and are API monogrammed.
The PLC/HMI control panel incorporates
advanced technology with superior
software code. These systems are DNV
and ABS approved with ATEX
certifications. Reliability and safety is the
focal point of these systems.
