The Challenge
Reliable power for 38 remote production wells in the desert
A National Oil Company (NOC) and International Oil Company (IOC) Joint Venture have around 38 production wells operating in a remote oil field in the Western Desert area of Egypt. With no grid connection available, they rely on their own power generation at site.
Their incumbent power provider was suffering repeated power trips and failures increasing the Operator’s non-productive time (NPT) and ultimately causing oil deferment. In 2019, keen to resolve this, the JV decided to re-tender the project. Uptime and performance metrics were a key factor in who the JV would reward the new contract to.
Having a strong reputation in country after successfully delivering a large project in the West Nile Delta for another IOC, Aggreko was invited to tender.
