Woodside and Expro have a long-standing partnership, with Expro supporting well construction activities in Mexico during the exploration phase. This latest collaboration further strengthens their well-established presence in deepwater operations across the country. As part of the project, Woodside Energy will manage operations from its Tampico shore base and office, while Expro is actively establishing a new hub in the area, supporting local employment and contributing to the economic growth of the area.
The contract enables Expro to deploy its differentiated well construction technologies, designed to offer a seamless solution from top drive to target depth. Services will include TRS casing, completion and drilling support, as well as the provision of casing accessories, cement heads, and Expro's Skyhook® system.
In addition to technical execution, Expro's approach is aimed at optimizing well performance, driving cost-efficiencies, and enhancing operational reliability throughout the project lifecycle.
Jeremy Angelle, Vice President of Well Construction said, 'With our extensive track record and a reputation as a trusted provider of TRS solutions, we are proud to play a key role in this world-class development. This contract win reflects not only the strength of our technical capabilities and commercial offering but also our legacy of supporting Trion exploration wells through Frank's TRS and VERSAFLO TM systems.
This project represents an exciting opportunity to showcase our innovative technologies on a historic deepwater development, and we look forward to building a strong, long-term partnership with Woodside in Mexico.'
Trion is a greenfield development located in the Perdido Fold Belt, approximately 180 km off Mexico's coastline in the Gulf of Mexico, in water depths of around 2,500 meters. Representing the first deepwater oil production in Mexico, the project is a joint venture between Woodside Energy and Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), with first oil targeted for 2028.

Use ETFs to Diversify and Stay Ahead
The current market landscape is dominated by a handful of names. The Mag 7 now accounts for a historically large portion of the S&P 500's total market capitalization. Last week, NVIDIA NVDA shares surged, briefly pushing its market cap above $4 trillion for the first time. This highlighted growing investor and market enthusiasm surrounding the AI sector. The accelerating momentum behind the AI and tech rally is powering much of the broader market's gains. This is evident from the performance of the S&P 500 Information Technology Index, which has gained 9.44% year to date. However, investing heavily in the technology sector to capitalize on AI's growth potential comes with increased concentration risk and systemic risk. Underlying market risks make it necessary for investors to diversify. Long-term investors should consider broadening their exposure, not by abandoning the tech sector altogether but by complementing it with diversified holdings. This will enable them to preserve their growth potential while reducing vulnerability to market shocks that arise from overconcentration. What's Making Markets Vulnerable Renewed trade tensions are casting a cloud of uncertainty over global markets. According to Yahoo Finance, President Trump unexpectedly announced on Saturday that the United States will impose 30% tariffs on imports from the EU and Mexico, effective August 1, turning investor sentiment downbeat. This further escalates global trade tensions, creating a more uncertain economic landscape and further fueling inflationary pressures. The U.S economy faces headwinds due to inflationary pressure, intensified by the tariffs proposed by the President. Concerns over U.S. debt levels, coupled with leadership and political uncertainty of the Fed, dent investor confidence. A possible Fed leadership shake-up remains a significant source of investor unease. ETFs to Consider Preserving capital and cushioning volatility is key for investors looking to navigate a volatile period ahead. Reducing concentration risk by diversifying into ETFs that focus on value sectors or equal-weighted strategies can enhance resilience while still capturing upside potential. Diversification remains one of the most effective strategies for building resilient portfolios, especially in a market driven by a few dominant players. Below, we highlight a few areas in which investors can increase their exposure. Investing in these sectors not only shields portfolios from downside risks and safeguards investments during market distress but also offers gains when the broader market trends improve. These sectors provide dual benefits, protecting portfolios during market downturns and offering gains when the market rises. Value ETFs Vanguard Value ETF VTV, iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF IWD and iShares S&P 500 Value ETF IVE, having a Zacks ETF Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy), could be appealing options. Characterized by solid fundamentals, such as earnings, dividends, book value and cash flow, these stocks trade below their intrinsic value, representing undervaluation. Gold ETFs Investors can also consider funds such as SPDR Gold Shares GLD, iShares Gold Trust IAU and SPDR Gold MiniShares Trust GLDM, increasing their exposure to the yellow metal. Across extended investment periods, gold preserves its purchasing power, outpacing inflation. Additionally, a safe-haven investment during a challenging period, gold remains a secure choice amid economic and geopolitical instability. Equal-Weighted ETFs These funds offer sector-level diversification by assigning equal weight to each constituent stock, regardless of market capitalization, reducing concentration risk. This makes them a relevant choice for investors seeking diversified exposure across sectors. Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF RSP, ALPS Equal Sector Weight ETF EQL and Invesco S&P 100 Equal Weight ETF EQWL are some good options. Consumer Staple ETFs Increasing exposure to consumer staple funds can bring balance and stability to investors' portfolios. Investors can put more money in consumer staples funds to safeguard themselves from potential market downturns. The S&P 500 Consumer Staples Index has gained 5.88% year to date and 10.30% over the past year. Investors can consider Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund XLP, Vanguard Consumer Staples ETF VDC and iShares U.S. Consumer Staples ETF IYK. Want key ETF info delivered straight to your inbox?

Markets Hit Record Highs, Banks Report Q2 Results: Stocks to Watch
Stocks crept higher to kick off an eventful week, with the Nasdaq notching a record closing high ahead of the official start of the second-quarter earnings season. Over the weekend, President Trump upped the ante in regards to his tariff agenda, promising 30% duties on Mexico and the European Union. Officials from both countries are pushing to make a deal before the August 1 st deadline. Adding to the headlines yesterday, Trump ramped up tensions with Russia over the war in Ukraine, threatening to impose 'secondary' tariffs of up to 100% if a deal is not struck soon. Markets seemed to shrug off the latest tariff flareups, looking past any uncertainty as the Q2 earnings season gets underway. Almost 100 companies are on deck to report results this week, including 38 S&P 500 members. Several big banks reported this morning before the open, with the majority of the pack outpacing estimates. A mainly in-line CPI inflation report added to the bullish sentiment. It'll be interesting to see how stocks react to earnings. Looking at the second quarter as a whole, S&P 500 companies are expected to witness 4.7% earnings growth on 4% higher revenues. These figures represent a significant deceleration from the growth trend of recent quarters. Recapping the First Half of the Year It's an exciting time in the stock market right now with the major U.S. indexes eclipsing their former all-time highs. As we make our way deeper into the third quarter, let's take a step back and try to determine what may lie ahead for the rest of 2025 and beyond. It was certainly a first half to remember. The see-saw action translated to one of the most volatile first halves in recent memory. President Trump's trade war sent shockwaves throughout the financial markets, resulting in a nasty correction earlier in the year as investors priced in potential trade outcomes. By April, market performance began to turn the corner, improving rapidly as investors gained more clarity amid signs of trade-talk progress. The V-shaped, relentless move morphed into a lockout rally that left nonbelievers in the dust. And because many investors missed out on big gains, they will continue to snap up shares on weakness, which should help lift stocks even further. The S&P 500 just delivered one of the greatest three-month rallies in history, advancing more than 25% off the April lows. As we can see below, the current version of the blue-chip index has only accomplished this feat five other times since its inception in 1957: In the twelve months following each of these instances, the S&P 500 delivered double-digit gains each time. As the saying goes, strength begets strength. Still, the doubters and naysayers remain prevalent. This is certainly one of the most hated market rallies since the surge in stocks following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. There are always reasons that critics can point to as to why stocks can't continue higher, but as we know, stocks climb a wall of worry. Stocks to Watch Megabank JPMorgan Chase JPM led a slew of banks reporting quarterly earnings Tuesday morning. The banking giant reported Q2 earnings of $4.96 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.51/share by 9.98%. The bottom line improved 12.7% versus the year-ago period. Revenues for the second quarter of $44.91 billion also topped estimates. JPM stock, a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), ticked down slightly but remains in a strong uptrend and near 52-week highs: Outside of financials, leading chipmaker Nvidia NVDA saw its stock pop about 4% in the early going after the company stated it is filing applications with the U.S. government to resume sales of its previously restricted H20 GPUs to China. 'The U.S. government has assured Nvidia that licenses will be granted, and Nvidia hopes to start deliveries soon,' the company said in a prepared statement. Nvidia will be one of the last companies to report quarterly results this season in late August. The stock has broken out to all-time highs and is resuming its former momentum: Bottom Line Positive earnings results out of the gate bode well for the remainder of the season. A tame inflation trend in the face of President Trump's tariffs adds to the bullish case. Historical statistics also point to more general market strength over the next twelve months. Make sure you're taking advantage of all that we offer here at Zacks. Disclosure: JPM is a long-term holding in the Zacks Income Investor portfolio. NVDA is a core holding in the Zacks Headline Trader portfolio. 7 Best Stocks for the Next 30 Days Just released: Experts distill 7 elite stocks from the current list of 220 Zacks Rank #1 Strong Buys.
