Oilfield services giant Baker Hughes has won a contract from Turkish Petroleum (TPAO) and the Turkish Petroleum Offshore Technology Centre to supply subsea production and intelligent completion systems in phase three of the country’s Sakarya gas field.
Baker Hughes will provide deepwater horizontal tree systems with associated subsea structures and control systems to support production at depths from 2,000 to 2,200 m.
The company’s upper and lower completions systems will provide enhanced, multizonal control of subsurface operations. Deliveries and execution supporting the Sakarya gas field phase 3 will begin in late 2025.
Baker Hughes has collaborated with TPAO in the Sakarya gas field since development began in 2022. The company’s energy advisory team has worked closely with the Turkish firm on reservoir and technology evaluations for the field’s unique subsurface geology.
The US-based firm has also provided advanced lower completions solutions ideally suited to optimise production in thin-layered reservoirs like those found in the Black Sea.
“The development of the Sakarya gas fields has transformed Turkiye’s energy sector, leading to a more prosperous, secure future for the country,” said Amerino Gatti, EVP of oilfield services and equipment at Baker Hughes.
