SLB Secures $1.5 Billion Mutriba Field Contract in Kuwait

In a significant development for the energy sector, SLB has entered into a comprehensive five-year engagement with Kuwait Oil Company to advance the Mutriba field project. The $1.5 billion contract represents a substantial expansion of the technology company’s role, moving beyond advisory services to assume end-to-end responsibility for design, development, and production management across the field’s complex infrastructure.

Expanded Scope for Complex Reservoir Development

The Mutriba field presents formidable technical challenges that have now become central to SLB’s expanded mandate. The reservoirs operate under high-pressure, high-temperature conditions with sour characteristics—parameters that demand specialized expertise and innovative problem-solving. This progression reflects growing confidence in SLB’s subsurface knowledge and technical capabilities, as the project transitions from its initial development phase into more technically demanding operations. The company will now leverage its accumulated understanding of the field’s geological complexities to guide strategic execution and optimize production efficiency.

Deepening Partnership Reflects Decades of Collaboration

The contract award underscores the strength of the long-established relationship between SLB and Kuwait Oil Company, built through sustained collaboration spanning multiple decades. By expanding SLB’s operational responsibilities, Kuwait Oil Company signals confidence in the technology provider’s ability to deliver safe, reliable solutions in complex conditions. This evolution from a service provider relationship to a strategic operational partner illustrates how technical excellence and consistent performance build institutional trust in the energy sector. The partnership’s maturation reflects a mutual commitment to advancing Mutriba field development through its next critical phase.
