what happened
Newsmetry API, citing the official gazette, reports that Kuwait has issued two new tenders for pipes used in oil drilling and production. The Higher Procurement Committee of state-owned Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) set one timetable for both public tenders, running from 11 October to 9 November 2026.
The first contract covers casing and production pipes for deep-drilling wells that must meet strict specifications in the tender documents. The second seeks specialised casing pipes for onshore exploration wells operating under high pressure and high temperature, with defined engineering dimensions and requirements suited to severe subsurface conditions.
Kuwait’s Arabic-language daily Al-Siyasa described the measures as a key support for KPC’s exploration and development of geologically complex reservoirs and for securing future energy sources.
why it matters
The tenders point to KPC’s demand for specialised equipment for technically challenging drilling projects and could support activity among oilfield equipment suppliers in Kuwait.
