Coretrax is an independent wellbore clean-up and abandonment specialist to the oil & gas industry.

The Aberdeen headquartered company, which supports global well construction, completion and end-of-life operations has operational centres in the UK, Middle East and South East Asia. It is also working on projects in the US and West Africa where it sees future market potential for its service offering.

Souter Investments was part of a Buckthorn Partners led syndicate that invested in Coretrax which will help it accelerate its ambitious international growth plans.

In February 2024 Buckthorn agreed to sell Coretrax to Expro Group, a US listed energy services provider. The transaction completed in May 2024. Refer here for the formal press release.
