Expro has signed a technology agreement (ETEC) with Petrobras for the development of a new non-intrusive flowmeter. The technology will provide flow rates and identify flow patterns, generating online and real-time data availability for control and monitoring of slug instabilities to increase efficiency and optimize production of wells. The key requirement in this technology development is the non-intrusive aspect of the clamp-on design, as well as the absence of any radioactive source.

The first prototype is expected to be installed by Third Quarter 2027.
