Unique well integrity solutions lead the way to success in the Middle East for KCI.

Now, more than ever, it is critical for our business to be adaptable and continuously evolve to increase the value we are bringing to our clients. To do this, we endeavour to have the highest-quality products and the people with the best skills to deliver on our customers’ projects.   

The clue is in the name; Kinetics Control and Innovation (KCI). Part of our success is our relentless focus on innovative solutions to well integrity challenges faced by oil and gas industry operators. At our onsite research and development facility, we continually revisit our current approach and products, eager to find new and improved ways to address emerging problems within the industry.  

From rigless well intervention and integrity solutions to a range of sealants designed for ageing wells, our solutions support operators in managing integrity risks, avoiding costly downtime and supporting their sustainability goals.  

2024 has been a transformative year for KCI as we have expanded further into the global market. In addition to existing partnerships in Australia, Brunei, Nigeria, Norway, and across the Middle East, this year, we have united with Oilfield Services Company in Vietnam, Asia Serv in Indonesia, and Engineered Market Solutions in Denmark. This strategic alignment means that we can support our customers across the globe.  

We see the Middle East as a critical market, which is why we have a presence in Abu Dhabi, Algeria, Azerbaijan, Egypt, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Turkmenistan and Qatar. Through these numerous vital partnerships, we can give our customers confidence that we can support their well integrity project at whatever scale is required.  

Our expertise in this region has significantly grown as we have become more established. For example, we completed over 1,000 applications for a single customer in the Middle East by deploying several of our unique products. In addition, with a focus on efficiency, we have introduced innovative solutions such as packer leak repairs through both the tubing and annulus sides, ICV control-line leak repairs, hybrid data cable leak repairs, and flowline isolations.  

By collaborating with our client, we can provide the most efficient solution to their well integrity challenges. This has allowed us to save our client in the UAE an estimated USD 200 million across 20 wells so far.   

Additionally, as part of a strategic review, we recently decided to transition to an employee-owned company. This shift reflects our focus on sustainability and long-term investment in our workforce. Despite being in the early days of this transition, this new structure already demonstrates successful collaborations within our team, further enhancing service delivery and client satisfaction.  

At KCI, we’re not just keeping up with industry changes but leading the way. What started as a small operation has grown into a globally recognised name in the well integrity and sealant services industry, with a product range that offers solutions to some of the biggest challenges facing ageing oil and gas assets today.  

We’re proud of how far we’ve come and excited about where we’re headed.
