BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 24. Increasing operational capabilities inside Azerbaijan will allow Baker Hughes to more effectively support SOCAR’s efforts to achieve the shortest-cycle, lowest-carbon barrel, a source in Baker Hughes told Trend, providing details of the recently signed agreement.
“By assembling our state-of-the-art electric submersible pumps (ESPs) in-country, we will improve efficiency and reduce the time required for installation and repair,” said the source.
The source pointed out that Baker Hughes will provide training to the local workforce on the operation, manufacture, assembly and repair of our state-of-the-art ESPs.
“These ESPs will be paired with our Leucipa automated field production software solution, allowing teams to monitor and optimize real-time ESP performance through a single, configurable interface, as well as improve overall efficiencies and safety using automated engineering workflows integrated across the entire production operation.
The combination of Baker Hughes’ advanced ESPs and Leucipa automated field production solution will lead to more efficient operations in the field. The localization of assembly and repair work will also help reduce downtime, resulting in improved production,” added the source.
The State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) and Baker Hughes company earlier agreed establish a center for the assembly and service of electric submersible pumps in Azerbaijan
The relevant agreement was signed by SOCAR President Rovshan Najaf and Baker Hughes Chairman and CEO Lorenzo Simonelli on June 13.
The agreement on the assembly, repair, and maintenance of ESP will be directly implemented by SOCAR's Azneft Production Union (PU) and Baker Hughes Services International LLC.
Electric submersible pumps are used worldwide in deep and inclined oil wells, as well as in highly watered wells.
