The field is owned by the Government of Oman, PTT Public, Shell and TotalEnergies.
The agreements are designed to improve production efficiency and increase recovery rates, while also supporting in-country value.
Under the terms of the contracts, SLB will supply low-pressure, high-pressure and thermal wellheads alongside electric submersible pumps (ESPs) and progressive cavity pumps (PCPs).
The initiative includes plans to expand local manufacturing and introduce gate valve production within six months.

By GlobalDataSLB Middle East and North Africa president Jesus Lamas said: “These awards reflect our deep commitment to Oman’s energy future and advancing in-country value through local manufacturing and talent development.
“By producing more equipment in-country and investing in Omani expertise, we are ensuring that PDO’s strategic goals are met with sustainable, locally driven approaches.
“Our focus is on delivering innovative wellhead and artificial lift solutions that drive production efficiency and maximise recovery.
“Through our ongoing investment in advanced technologies and tailored services, we support our customers’ production and recovery goals with capabilities designed to meet their evolving operational needs.”
Production of wellheads will take place at SLB’s Rusayl centre, while ESPs will be assembled at the Nizwa facility dedicated to assembly, repair and testing.
This initiative will provide employment opportunities for numerous Omani workers.
Advanced technologies such as the 15k SOLIDrill modular compact wellhead system, ESP surveillance systems and ESP permanent magnet motors will be deployed by SLB to reduce power usage and improve sustainability.
In September 2025, SLB won a contract from Petrobras to provide services and technology for 35 ultra-deep-water wells in Brazil’s Santos Basin.
The project focuses on the second phase of the Atapu and Sépia fields, where oil and gas reserves lie beneath thick salt layers approximately 2,000m below sea level.
