      Expro signs contract for the AX-S (TM) Lightweight Intervention System

Expro International Group PLC today announces the signing of a contract with BP
Exploration Operating Company Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BP plc,
concerning the development and commercialisation of Expro's AX-S lightweight
subsea wireline intervention system. This follows from a Letter of Intent that
was signed on 27 June 2007.

This strategic, corporate level contract provides for the development and
commercialisation of this unique technology for subsea operational deployment on
a global scale.

Expro will build and deploy a fully engineered AX-S system; BP will provide partial 
project funding and technical input, including field trials of the AX-S system on 
subsea wells, subject to the system passing agreed testing milestones.  The 
agreement anticipates that field trials will take place during the first half of 
2009.  Both parties have also determined the basis of a long term contractual 
agreement to further the commercialisation of this unique technology. Once proven, 
the AX-S system will be available to the whole industry.

The parties also anticipate further collaboration covering future technology 
developments aligned to establishing maximum impact of the AX-S intervention technique.

The AX-S system is designed to service the rapidly growing market for lightweight 
well intervention services that diagnose production problems and improve production 
and reserves recoveries from subsea wells.  The AX-S system has been designed to 
extend the limits of lightweight intervention to water depths of up to 10,000 
feet, which would represent a significant technological breakthrough over what is 
possible today.

Commenting on behalf of Expro, Graeme Coutts, CEO said "Introducing breakthrough 
technologies in the upstream sector is a very difficult task. The road to 
commercialisation can be lengthy and extremely expensive. I am therefore delighted 
that we have been able to construct a contractual relationship which reflects full 
strategic alignment between technology provider and end user.  We have chosen to 
partner with BP in particular because they share our vision and ambition to be at 
the forefront of deepwater development, creating technical solutions, like AX-S, 
that will go on to become accepted commercially as industry wide solutions.  In 
the world where oil and gas is becoming increasingly difficult to find, our 
customers are becoming very focused on maximising recovery from existing discoveries. 
In deep water, rig based economics limit the deployment of traditional production 
enhancement techniques resulting in lower recovery factors than might otherwise 
be possible. Both BP and Expro recognise the potential of AX-S to exploit this 
key market opportunity and deliver a meaningful new technique to the upstream 
sector in the growing market of subsea field development."
