MEMBER NEWS: Coretrax jump starts new year with clutch of contract wins and ambitious growth plans

Coretrax, a global leader in oil and gas well integrity and production optimisation, is set for further growth with five multi-year contract wins secured for 2024 and plans to grow its footprint in Asia Pacific by a further 30% this year.

The company also expects to increase its 320 -strong workforce by an additional 100 personnel across its bases in Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific and the Americas.

The latest deals encompass key milestones including the business’ first project win in Latin America and its first expandable casing patch deployment in the United Arab Emirates

Following a string of successful geothermal and carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects, Coretrax has also secured its largest geothermal contract to date. The company has already deployed personnel for the multi-year project in Denmark where the business will deliver its Origin wellbore clean up technology across 17 geothermal wells.

New and existing projects comprise the continued successful deployment of Coretrax’s full technology portfolio including its RelineMNS casing patch, CX-LTTT multi-set packer, DAV MX Circulating Valve, Reform and Restore expandable straddle systems.

John Fraser, CEO at Coretax, said: “We have experienced a period of sustained growth and are excited to be entering 2024 with a strong pipeline of work and plans for further expansion in the coming months. Our technology spans the entire well lifecycle which means we can support operators from drilling right through to the plugging and abandonment phase.

“The coming 12 months will see us increase our headcount and footprint globally, with Asia Pacific a particular focus for the business as we respond to increasing demand for our technology across countries including Australia, Brunei and Malaysia. We are also eager to extend our operations in the geothermal and CCS sectors with our circulation tools gaining a strong track record in these emerging markets.”

The business celebrated a record-breaking year in 2023, delivering upwards of 500 projects globally as demand for its technology portfolio continues to rise. In September, the company’s tools were active across all 24 active rigs in the North Sea.

As part of its ambitious growth strategy, Coretrax made a number of key appointments in recent months including its first sales and operations manager for Africa, country manager for Australia, New Zealand and Papa New Guinea and VP of Origin and Advance product lines.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
