据油气新闻11月17日消息称，据科威特当地日报《Al-Anba》报道，科威特石油公司(KOC)正准备与9家国内外公司签署协议，供应31座钻井塔。该报道援引可靠消息来源称，这些合同价值7.5亿美元(约2.3亿加元)，有效期为5年。

一旦塔交付使用，KOC计划钻探约400口新油井，使全国总油井数达到150口，其中80口用于钻探，70口用于修复。

预计两家本地公司Burgan Wells Drilling和Kuwaiti Drilling Company以及七家国际公司将参与交易。七家公司分别为杰里、阿莱夫、西诺塔尔瓦钻井公司和斯伦贝谢等。

这笔交易将是科威特扩大上游业务、到2040年将原油日产量从315万桶提高到400万桶更大计划的一部分。
