Baker Hughes announced a major award from Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) to provide advanced artificial lift systems and associated services to enhance production in Kuwait’s oil and gas fields.
Under the multi-year agreement, Baker Hughes will supply its portfolio of electrical submersible pumps (ESPs), as well as installation, surveillance and maintenance services.
ESP performance will be further optimized through the integration of the FusionPro™ intelligent production drive and Leucipa™ automated field production solution, which will enhance operational reliability and reduce nonproductive time.
This agreement follows a third-quarter award from KOC to provide advanced wireline and perforation technology and services including Proxima™ advanced logging services to enhance reservoir evaluation, optimize production and increase recovery.
Baker Hughes has a long history of supporting Kuwait’s energy sector by providing advanced technologies and solutions. The company operates a 25,000-square-meter workshop in the country for equipment testing and failure analysis of artificial lift systems. Earlier this year, Baker Hughes also signed a memorandum of understanding to establish a research and development center in the country’s Ahmadi Innovation Valley, which will help address technology challenges in the upstream sector and build local expertise.
