KCI. Leading the charge in engineered leak sealant solutions across the MENA region

Minimising downtime and reinstating asset integrity quickly and safely is more critical than ever, especially in the MENA region, where environmental conditions, ageing infrastructure, and production targets place unique pressures on operators.

With a proven track record across the Middle East and North Africa, KCI’s engineered sealant technologies are revolutionising how energy companies manage well integrity challenges. From Saudi Arabia to Tunisia, our region-wide network of trusted local partners and unmatched success rate are helping clients save millions in costs, reduce safety risks, and avoid prolonged shutdowns.

Real results

Take, for example, one of the largest E&P operators in the Middle East, facing increasing well integrity issues due to mature fields, corrosive fluids, and high desert temperatures. Traditionally, solutions required costly rig workovers or unreliable packing materials. But KCI offered a more innovative, rigless alternative.

Using our time-activated sealant technology, we restored full integrity to over 1,300 wells—achieving a 99% success rate. The sealant formed a robust, pressure-energised isolation that remained stable between -54°C and +204°C, offering a long-term solution that’s both fast and safe. To date, this solution has saved the client at least USD 100 million in avoided deferments and rig costs.

Additionally, when a downhole safety valve (DHSV) began leaking, we applied our IG-FP solution, a one-part, non-curing gel sealant, allowing our client to repair the leak without removing the valve or shutting down the well, saving an estimated USD 10 million in lost production.
