Baker Hughes has secured a multi-year contract from Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) to supply advanced artificial lift systems and related services to enhance oil and gas production across Kuwait's fields.

Scope of Supply and Integration

Under the agreement, Baker Hughes will provide electrical submersible pumps (ESPs), along with installation, monitoring, and maintenance services. These systems will be integrated with the company's FusionPro intelligent production drive and Leucipa automated field production solution. This integration is aimed at improving ESP reliability, optimizing performance, and reducing nonproductive time.

Context and Established Presence

This contract award follows a third-quarter contract where Baker Hughes was selected to supply advanced wireline and perforation technologies, including logging services for improved reservoir evaluation and recovery efficiency. The company notes that its artificial lift technologies have been deployed in Kuwait for nearly two decades, establishing a track record for reliability and operational efficiency in mature fields. Baker Hughes maintains a dedicated 25,000-square-meter workshop in Kuwait for equipment testing and failure analysis for these systems.

Supporting Local Development

Earlier this year, Baker Hughes also signed a memorandum of understanding to establish a research and development center at Ahmadi Innovation Valley. This initiative is intended to support local technology development and enhance workforce capability within Kuwait's upstream oil and gas sector.
