8. | Investment in joint ventures
We have investments in two joint venture companies, which together provide us access to certain Asian markets that otherwise would be challenging for us to penetrate or develop effectively on our own. COSL-Expro Testing Services (Tianjin) Co. Ltd (“CETS”), in which we have a 50% equity interest, has extensive offshore well testing and completions capabilities and a reputation for providing technology-driven solutions in China. Similarly, PV Drilling Expro International Co. Ltd. (“PVD-Expro”) in which we have a 49% equity interest, offers the full suite of Expro products and services, including well testing and completions, in Vietnam. Both of these are strategic to our activities and offer the full capabilities and technology of Expro, but each company is independently managed. The carrying value of our investment in joint ventures as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, was as follows (in thousands):
|  | March 31, |  |  | December 31, |
|  | 2025 |  |  | 2024 |
CETS |  | $ | 74,402 |  |  | $ | 70,696 |
PVD-Expro |  |  | 2,316 |  |  |  | 2,316 |
Total |  | $ | 76,718 |  |  | $ | 73,012 |
