Expro Group Holdings N.V. achieved a new offshore world record by deploying the heaviest casing string to date, utilizing its advanced Blackhawk® Gen III Wireless Top Drive Cement Head with SKYHOOK® technology. This operation took place in the Gulf of America for a super major, aboard the Transocean Deepwater Titan. The record-breaking deployment involved a maximum hook load of 2.849 million pounds, surpassing all previous offshore records and setting a new benchmark in deepwater well construction. The Gen III cement head with SKYHOOK® is now the industry's only three million pound combined rated cementing system. Engineered for full pressure and tensile capacity, the Gen III system maintained full performance at 15,000 psi and three million pounds throughout the operation, which was part of one of the world’s most technically demanding well construction campaigns. This feat underscores Expro’s commitment to innovation, safety, and reliability in extreme offshore environments.
