Plexus Holdings plc announced that it has completed an agreement with SLB replacing an existing surface production wellhead license with a new license (the 'Agreement') with a wider field of use for a cash consideration of USD 5.2 million. SLB acquires a perpetual royalty free license for POS-GRIP technology and HG seal technology plus any improvements, enhancements, or derivatives to the technology for surface wellhead production applications for all pressure and size ranges. The license scope includes oil and gas production and storage applications, as well as CO2 storage ('CCS') and hydrogen storage, and water and cuttings reinjection.

The Agreement also includes a non-exclusive license to SLB for Adjustable Surface Production Wellheads, and HG Trees with the potential to generate royalties for Plexus from such special applications of the POS-GRIP technology. The combination of the Plexus technology with SLB's manufacturing quality, technical expertise, innovation, and global support structure will bring value and efficiency to operators globally. Plexus has the right to continue operating in the sector on a limited basis and to retain ownership of the original IP.

Plexus may quote SLB Valves and Trees combined with Plexus wellheads on a project basis, subject to SLB approval.
