Baker Hughes will evaluate more than 120 wells across two of OGDCL's mature fields in Pakistan under a multi-year contract the two companies signed in Islamabad on 2 September 2026.
The agreement covers OGDCL's Tando Alam Oil Complex and Pirkoh field. Baker Hughes will use the well evaluations to build redevelopment plans lined up with OGDCL's production targets and economic goals, and will advise on integrated technology and digital tools meant to improve production performance and recovery from the aging assets.
What follows the evaluation
Once the evaluation phase wraps up, Baker Hughes and OGDCL plan to move into operational execution. That phase is set to include AI-enabled chemical injections, which treat produced fluids to help oil and gas keep flowing through the wellbore, along with well workovers and interventions aimed at restoring output from underperforming wells. A workover is a reentry into an existing well to repair or restore its production.
A relationship that predates this deal
The contract builds on a relationship between Baker Hughes and OGDCL that goes back decades, and it supports Pakistan's effort to draw more of its energy from domestic resources.
We reported previously that Baker Hughes would evaluate 120 wells at OGDCL's Pakistan fields.
