Halliburton Boots & Coots Wins Kuwait Contract

Drilling operations are complex and can present challenges due to high pressure, high temperature, and sour reservoirs. To help with these challenges in Kuwait, Halliburton Boots & Coots collaborates with the Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) for emergency response and well control services.

This collaboration comes at a critical time as KOC faces several operational challenges at the Jurassic carbonate reservoirs. Boots & Coots supports KOC to manage the unique operational challenges associated with complex reservoir conditions and collaborates with KOC teams to optimize well control and emergency preparedness strategies.

Boots & Coots approaches these operational risks with a comprehensive prevention and preparedness strategy. The collaboration emphasizes well kill operations and on-site standby in problematic zones. This involves field visits to assess and prepare rig equipment, mud pumps, and other systems to handle well-control challenges safely. Boots & Coots helps KOC perform required periodic rig equipment audits, update emergency response plans, and prepare staff to serve as first responders for well-control incidents.

“This achievement expands Halliburton’s footprint and customer base for many years to come,” says Gary Barbee, general manager, Halliburton Boots & Coots. “Boots & Coots offers the most complete risk management and mitigation package available in the industry and looks forward to a successful collaboration with KOC.”
