Baker Hughes has announced a multiyear contract with Pakistan’s Oil & Gas Development Company (OGDC) to maximize production performance from its mature oil and gas fields.
The award represents the continuation of a decades-long collaboration between the companies and directly supports Pakistan’s energy security ambitions to source more of its energy from domestic resources.
Baker Hughes is expected to work closely with OGDC to develop a clear understanding of the challenges in its Tando Alam oil complex and Pirkoh field and provide tailored redevelopment plans. During this phase, Baker Hughes is expected to align key opportunities directly with OGDC’s production targets and economic objectives across more than 120 wells, advising on integrated technology and digital solutions designed to improve production performance and recovery.
“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 Amerino Gatti, Baker Hughes’ executive vice president of oilfield services and equipment. “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.”
Following the initial evaluation, Baker Hughes and OGDC plan to shift focus to operational execution. During this phase, Baker Hughes is expected to drive innovative solutions, such as artificial-intelligence-enabled chemical injections designed to improve flow assurance and high-graded well workovers and interventions aimed at restoring production from underperforming wells.
