Baker Hughes has signed a multi-year contract with Pakistan's OGDCL to lift output from the company's aging oil and gas fields. The deal extends a relationship between the two firms that goes back decades.
The scope
As part of the agreement, Baker Hughes will assess more than 120 wells across two OGDCL assets, the Tando Alam Oil Complex and the Pirkoh field, and draw up redevelopment plans matched to OGDCL's output goals and economics. The company will also advise on technology and digital tools meant to lift production and recovery from the mature fields.
- Wells to be assessed: more than 120
- Fields covered: Tando Alam Oil Complex, Pirkoh field
- Signed: 2 September 2026, Islamabad
From assessment to fieldwork
Once the assessment phase wraps, Baker Hughes and OGDCL plan to move into hands-on work. That stage is expected to include chemical injections managed by AI to help keep the wells flowing, plus well workovers and other interventions meant to bring output back up at underperforming wells.
The two companies signed the agreement on 2 September 2026 at OGDCL's headquarters in Islamabad. The deal also supports Pakistan's push to draw more of its energy supply from domestic sources.
