BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 3. Baker Hughes has
signed a multi-year contract with Pakistan’s Oil & Gas Development
Company (OGDCL) to enhance production and recovery from mature oil
and gas assets, the company said.
Under the agreement, Baker Hughes will work with OGDCL to assess
production challenges at the Tando Alam Oil Complex and Pirkoh gas
field and develop tailored redevelopment plans covering more than
120 wells.
Tando Alam is a producing conventional oil field located onshore
Pakistan. According to GlobalData, the field had recovered 86.63%
of its total recoverable reserves, with production reaching a peak
in 2004. Based on current economic assumptions, production is
expected to continue until the field reaches its economic limit in
2050.
Pirkoh is a producing conventional gas field also located
onshore Pakistan. GlobalData says that the field has recovered
99.91% of its total recoverable reserves. Production peaked in 1995
at around 180 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd) of natural gas.
The field is estimated to have about 0.08 million barrels of oil
equivalent (MMboe) remaining, including 0.45 billion cubic feet
(Bcf) of natural gas reserves.
As part of the initial phase, Baker Hughes will identify
opportunities aligned with OGDCL’s production targets and economic
objectives, while recommending integrated technology and digital
solutions to improve well performance and recovery.
The companies will then move to operational execution, with
Baker Hughes deploying technologies including AI-enabled chemical
injection solutions to improve flow assurance, as well as targeted
well workovers and interventions aimed at restoring output from
underperforming wells.
“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,” Baker Hughes Executive
Vice President of Oilfield Services & Equipment Amerino Gatti
said.
