SLB Secures Seven-Year Kuwait Oil Technology Partnership
Kuwait Oil has tapped SLB for a seven-year partnership aimed at accelerating the deployment of digital and industrial technologies across its upstream operations. The agreement aligns with Kuwait’s national energy objectives, tasking the global services provider with scaling innovation from the laboratory to the oilfield.
To anchor this effort, SLB plans to establish the Ahmadi Innovation Valley, a dedicated facility designed to foster cooperation between industry leaders and academic institutions. Construction is slated to begin in 2026, with the site projected to open its doors by 2028. Olivier Le Peuch, CEO of SLB, noted that the primary hurdle for the energy sector is not a lack of technological capability, but the ability to deploy complex solutions at an industrial scale.
