Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) and its subsidiaries opened envelopes for 40 tenders and requests for proposals in a single day, including five major contracts covering drilling operations, production pipelines, sand control, environmental services, and specialized medical equipment for the benefit of Kuwait Oil Company (KOC).
The move reflects ongoing efforts to strengthen operational efficiency, secure supply continuity, and support Kuwait’s expanding oil and gas activities.
The largest competition centered on contracts for the supply of deep drilling pipes, with six companies competing across nine supply groups.
The participating firms included Ahmed Al-Fahad General Trading and Contracting, Distribution Systems for General Trading, Gulf International for General Trading and Contracting, Khaf General Trading and Contracting, Kuwait Hydraulics for Maintenance and Repair of Pumps and Fluid Equipment, and Satco Energy General Trading and Contracting, according to a local Arabic daily.
Bid values for the drilling pipe contracts varied significantly, with Group 1A proposals ranging between KD 35.9 million and KD 42.4 million, while Group 1B bids ranged from KD 23.9 million to KD 28.3 million. Other groups recorded bids ranging from several thousand dinars to multiple millions depending on operational requirements.
In another major tender linked to sand control services in western Kuwait oilfields, six companies submitted offers. Al-Dali International for General Trading and Contracting submitted the lowest bid at KD 1.09 million, followed by Al-Jazeera Industrial Projects General Trading and Contracting at KD 1.56 million.
Five companies also competed for contracts involving advanced production casings and pipes across 15 groups. The bids ranged from approximately KD 424,000 in some categories to more than KD 4.3 million in others.
Meanwhile, six international and regional firms entered bids for water separation facility operation services. Companies included Schlumberger, Imkan International, Helong Marine Engineering (Hong Kong), Agile Petroleum Integrated Environmental Services, and Al Mansouri Production Services. The bids ranged from KD 2.24 million to nearly KD 5.9 million.
The tender package additionally covered the supply of dental instruments and implants, with Alpha Medical Company submitting revised pricing proposals that gradually declined from KD 1.97 million in late 2025 to KD 1.848 million in the latest revision.
All submitted bids have been referred to specialized technical committees for financial and operational evaluation before final contract awards are announced.
