FRANK'S INTERNATIONAL

What FRANK'S INTERNATIONAL does

Frank's International N.V. was a Houston-based global oil services company specializing in tubular running, well construction, and completion services for offshore and onshore drilling operators. Founded in 1938 per firmographic data and headquartered in Houston, TX, the company operated US field offices in Houston, Houma (LA), and Vernal (UT), delivering specialized drilling and well intervention services to oil and gas operators. Pre-merger, Frank's was publicly traded on the NYSE under ticker FI and carried 85+ years of operational heritage in offshore well services. The combined entity operates across six integrated service lines — Well Construction, Well Flow Management, Subsea, Well Intervention and Integrity, Production Solutions, and Coretrax — covering the full well lifecycle from exploration and appraisal through development, production, workover, and decommissioning.

In December 2025, Frank's International completed a merger with Expro (NYSE: XPRO), combining Frank's tubular running and well construction franchise with Expro's well flow management, subsea, and intervention capabilities. The combined entity is now publicly traded on the NYSE under ticker XPRO, operates in 60+ countries with 7,000+ employees, and is led through Expro's corporate structure. The merged platform explicitly addresses energy transition verticals including CCUS, geothermal, hydrogen, water management, emissions management, and mineral extraction in addition to traditional oil and gas services. No standalone revenue figures for Frank's International were disclosed in the source materials, and customer concentration details were not specified, though offshore oil services is a structurally concentrated industry dependent on IOC and NOC contracts.
