According to Sinochem New Network, recently Kuwait Petroleum Corporation signed a multi-year cooperation agreement with energy technology company Baker Hughes aimed at increasing the production of oil and gas fields in Kuwait by deploying advanced artificial lift technologies. This move highlights Kuwait’s strategic approach to fully tapping the potential of its mature oil fields through digitalization and automation. Under the agreement, Baker Hughes will supply submersible pump systems for the Kuwait oil fields, as well as provide installation, monitoring, and maintenance services, with the aim of improving production reliability and reducing downtime. These artificial lifting systems will be integrated with Baker Hughes’ FusionPro intelligent production control system and the Leucipa automated oilfield production platform to enable real-time monitoring and performance optimization, thereby reducing the downtime in KOC’s operations. Baker Hughes continues to strengthen its presence in the Kuwaiti market. In the third quarter of 2025, Kuwait Petroleum Company awarded it another contract related to advanced cable logging and perforation services. The company has a 25,000-square-meter repair workshop locally, dedicated to the testing, diagnosis, and fault analysis of manual lifting equipment. Furthermore, the two parties signed a memorandum of understanding earlier in 2025 to jointly establish a R&D center in Kuwait’s Ahmedi Innovation Valley, aimed at supporting innovation in upstream technologies and the development of local technical talent. This new contract reflects Kuwait’s long-term strategy of maintaining the production of its mature assets by applying advanced oilfield technologies, while simultaneously improving operational efficiency and economic benefits.
