Baker Hughes has signed a multi-year contract with Pakistan’s Oil & Gas Development Company (OGDC) to improve production and recovery from mature oil and gas fields, supporting the country’s efforts to strengthen domestic energy supplies.

The agreement extends a decades-long partnership between the two companies and will focus initially on OGDC’s Tando Alam Oil Complex and Pirkoh field.

Baker Hughes will assess production challenges across more than 120 wells and develop tailored redevelopment plans aligned with OGDC’s production targets and economic objectives.

 The company will also advise on integrated technology and digital solutions aimed at improving well performance and recovery.

Following the evaluation phase, the companies will move into operational execution, deploying solutions including AI-enabled chemical injection technologies to improve flow assurance, alongside targeted well workovers and interventions to restore output from underperforming wells.

The agreement was signed at OGDC headquarters in Islamabad in the presence of senior Pakistani and US officials and executives from both companies.

The project is expected to combine Baker Hughes’ mature-field expertise with digital and technology solutions to maximise the potential of existing assets and contribute to Pakistan’s energy security ambitions.

“OGDC has clear goals to support a more energy secure future for Pakistan and we are excited to help support them on their journey,” said Baker Hughes Executive Vice President of Oilfield Services & Equipment Amerino Gatti. “Through our close and collaborative working relationship, we will help OGDC get more value from their existing assets through integrated planning and technology solutions that unlock vital sources of untapped domestic energy supply. This is a prime example of how Baker Hughes is helping rewrite the energy equation in Pakistan and we look forward to getting started on this project.” -OGN/TradeArabia News Service
