Baker Hughes has secured a multi-year contract with Dubai Petroleum Establishment (DPE), representing Dubai Supply Authority (DUSUP), to deliver integrated coiled-tubing drilling services for the Margham Gas storage project in Dubai.
This partnership aims to enhance the stability of Dubai’s energy infrastructure by improving the system’s ability to transition between natural gas and solar energy.
By providing coiled-tubing drilling services, Baker Hughes further supports the Margham Gas project, which is based on a mature gas field of the same name. In addition to supplying Integrated Compressor Line (ICL) units for gas storage, injection, and export, Baker Hughes’ extensive portfolio contributes to the development of a more reliable and lower-emission power system.
“Baker Hughes has earned a reputation as a leader in coiled-tubing drilling and solutions for mature assets. Our success across the region makes us well-positioned to support this critical project,” said Amerino Gatti, executive vice president of Oilfield Services & Equipment at Baker Hughes. “Our integrated solutions approach combines cutting-edge technology and deep expertise to help DPE scale up and deliver secure, reliable, and low-carbon energy solutions for the country.”
The project will leverage Baker Hughes’ expertise in coiled-tubing drilling integration, under-balanced drilling, and the advanced CoilTrak™ coiled-tubing bottomhole assembly (BHA) system. CoilTrak enhances operators’ ability to navigate the subsurface during horizontal drilling, optimizing reservoir contact, which is essential for effective underground gas storage.
