 Expro International Group PLC awarded two significant Shell European contracts

Expro International Group PLC ("Expro" or "the Group") today announces the award
of two significant contracts by Shell Exploration and Production Europe ("EPE").
The contracts are for the provision of Wireline and Well Test services across
Shell EPE's operations. Expro has been Shell's incumbent contractor for several
years and these awards increase the scope with some additional work in UK

Through these contracts, Expro will provide Shell's entire Wireline and Well
Test activities within the operating units of Shell UK Limited, Nederlandse
Aardolie Maatschappij B.V. ("NAM"), A/S Norske Shell and Shell E & P Ireland
Limited.

The contracts have an effective commencement date of 1st February 2005 with work
getting underway immediately. The contracts have a combined value of $100
million over five years. This value may increase with activity levels and there
are also two one year extensions on each contract. The work will be managed and
implemented by Expro staff based in Aberdeen and Great Yarmouth within the UK,
Den Helder in Holland and Bergen in Norway.

Commenting on the announcement, Expro's Chief Executive Officer, Graeme Coutts,
said: "We are delighted to have been awarded this work by Shell and it confirms
our position as one of Europe's leading oilfield service provider. Expro's
retention of these significant contracts and their increase in scope clearly
demonstrates Shell's confidence in our capabilities to support their key assets.
Overall, the North Sea markets continue to offer positive conditions. Our
technology portfolio, critical mass and in-depth understanding of the
requirements of mature oil and gas provinces, is clearly understood by our
clients and provides a positive environment for the Group".
