Khalda Petroleum Company and Weatherford Services signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at EGYPES 2025.

This strategic partnership aims to propel the Digital Oil Field (DOF) project forward, focusing on the comprehensive digitization of the SCADA system across all Khalda operations in the Western Desert.

Weatherford has successfully completed the first phase of the project, deploying its advanced CygNet SCADA system across 100 wells. This deployment has demonstrated the system’s reliability and scalability, setting the stage for further expansion.

With the award of the second phase, the initiative will now include an additional 150 wells, significantly enhancing operational efficiency, real-time data integration, and intelligent field automation.

This collaboration reinforces Khalda’s leadership in digital transformation, establishing new benchmarks for innovation in Egypt’s digital oil and gas sector.

The agreement was signed by key figures including Saeed Abdel Moneim, Chairman of Khalda Petroleum; Brian Hradecky, Managing Director and General Manager of Khalda Petroleum; and Osama Elshenoufy, North East Africa Sales Director at Weatherford.

During the signing ceremony, Ihab Ragai, First Undersecretary of the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources for Production, emphasized that this partnership represents a huge leap in leveraging modern technology to support production and sustainability.

Ragai highlighted the importance of integrating digital solutions across all phases of petroleum operations to ensure more efficient and rapid decision-making, underscoring the potential for transformative impact on Egypt’s energy landscape.
