Expro Group Holdings N.V. has recently inked a significant deal with INPEX Corporation for the Kashiwazaki Clean Hydrogen/Ammonia project, marking a pivotal step in Japan’s pursuit of clean energy from domestically sourced gas.
This project, Japan’s maiden venture into a comprehensive hydrogen and ammonia value chain, aims to bolster the nation’s energy security and contribute to a sustainable future.
Expro’s expertise in Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) has landed them a vital contract with INPEX Corporation, specifically for the Kashiwazaki Clean Hydrogen/Ammonia initiative. The scope of Expro’s work encompasses the delivery of tubular running services, focusing on multiple sections of casing, liner, and tubing throughout a 12-month period. The intricacy of this task involves one production well, one injection well, and one monitoring well.
Expro’s involvement in the Kashiwazaki project extends to its portfolio of Well Construction services, deploying cutting-edge technologies to enhance well integrity during drilling and completion phases. The company’s proficiency in handling and running tubulars is geared towards fostering safe and efficient operations while safeguarding downhole equipment.
Geddes highlighted Expro’s commitment to supporting Clean Carbon Utilization and Storage for over a decade, citing the company’s global experience in executing operations with excellent results. He expressed the belief that CCUS is a key industry enabler crucial for achieving both Expro’s and its clients’ net-zero goals.
The Kashiwazaki Clean Hydrogen/Ammonia project is not merely a contract for Expro; it stands as a landmark initiative in Japan’s energy security journey. This project is designed to create a cohesive hydrogen and ammonia value chain, covering production to usage. As Japan seeks to produce clean energy from locally sourced gas, this project becomes a cornerstone in realizing the nation’s sustainable energy aspirations.
Alistair Geddes expressed Expro’s pride in being part of this groundbreaking demonstration project, aligning with the industry-wide efforts to reduce carbon emissions. The project’s emphasis on an integrated hydrogen and ammonia value chain reflects a forward-looking approach to clean energy production and consumption.
Expro’s engagement in the Kashiwazaki project not only reinforces its position as a key player in the energy services sector but also underscores the industry’s collective commitment to embracing sustainable practices. As countries worldwide strive for net-zero goals, collaborative ventures like these become essential building blocks for a cleaner and greener future.
