Baker Hughes has signed a multi-year contract with Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) to supply advanced artificial lift systems and related services aimed at boosting production across Kuwait’s oil and gas fields.
Under the agreement, Baker Hughes will provide electrical submersible pumps (ESPs) along with installation, surveillance and maintenance services.
The systems will be integrated with Baker Hughes’ FusionPro intelligent production drive and Leucipa automated field production solution to improve operational reliability and reduce nonproductive time.
“Technology is unlocking new value from established fields around the world, and Baker Hughes and KOC have been at the forefront of these advancements.
“Our industry-leading artificial lift systems have proven themselves in Kuwait’s oilfields for nearly two decades and established a reputation for reliability and efficiency,” said Amerino Gatti, executive vice president of Oilfield Services & Equipment at Baker Hughes.
The award follows a third-quarter contract from KOC for advanced wireline and perforation technologies, including Proxima advanced logging services, aimed at improving reservoir evaluation, optimizing production and increasing recovery.
Baker Hughes has operated in Kuwait for decades and runs a 25,000-square-meter workshop in the country for testing and failure analysis of artificial lift equipment.
Earlier this year, the company also signed a memorandum of understanding to establish a research and development center in Kuwait’s Ahmadi Innovation Valley to support upstream technology development and local expertise.
