Global technology company SLB has announced that Kuwait Oil Company has awarded SLB a $1.5 billion, five-year integrated contract for the Mutriba field in Kuwait, including design, development and production management.
The work builds on SLB’s subsurface understanding of the Mutriba field to support development planning and execution across deeper, technically demanding reservoir conditions. The contract covers development of high-pressure, high-temperature reservoirs with sour conditions, reflecting an expanded scope and responsibility for SLB as work on the Mutriba field progresses.
'This award reflects the strength of our long-standing partnership with Kuwait Oil Company and the trust built over decades of working together,' said Steve Gassen, executive vice president, Geographies, SLB. 'As development of the Mutriba field moves into its next stage, we are taking on end-to-end responsibility to support safe, reliable execution in complex reservoir conditions.'
The project is designed to support faster development of technically challenging and remote resources, while prioritizing capital efficiency and environmental considerations. It reflects a broader shift toward end-to-end delivery models that reduce execution risk as fields move into more complex phases of development.
