GE Oil & Gas, Mexico海角吃瓜网檚 state-owned oil and gas company Petr贸leos Mexicanos (PEMEX), and the Mexico Institute of Petroleum (IMP), have signed a technology collaboration agreement focused on the oil and gas sector, with the sponsorship of Mexico state-owned oil and gas company Petroleos Mexicanos.
The agreement, which was signed on 8聽April 2014, will initially research technologies needed to help PEMEX improve productivity and efficiency in mature onshore fields and to develop deep and ultradeep water projects. As Mexico implements major energy reforms to expand development of the country海角吃瓜网檚 offshore and onshore oil and gas reserves, while encouraging greater private investment, the new collaboration will help ensure that the technology needed to accomplish these goals is available.
Under the pact, GE will collaborate with IMP 海角吃瓜网� which is a public research organisation that provides technical solutions and training to PEMEX 海角吃瓜网� on three specific technology areas at the outset, including:
- To improve the efficiency of a mechanical flow device that could offer PEMEX significant recovery rate benefits in hundreds of wells.
- To increase the reliability of downhole equipment in the challenging onshore oil fields operated by PEMEX.
- To develop monitoring and inspection technologies for subsea equipment, allowing PEMEX to develop future deepwater projects in a safe and cost-effective way.
