About Baker Hughes
About Baker Hughes
Baker Hughes serves the worldwide oil and natural gas industry with reservoir consulting and products and services for drilling, formation evaluation, completion and production. We are a leading provider of high-performance technology that creates value from oil and gas reservoirs. Virtually every product and service we provide is designed to lower costs, reduce risk or improve productivity during activities directly related to hydrocarbon extraction, advancing reservoir performance.
Baker Hughes operates in over 90 countries serving independent, international and national oil companies. Our service network is organized into 23 geomarkets operating in 9 regions and 2 hemispheres. Region and geomarket management teams work to understand customer needs and coordinate delivery of individual products and comprehensive service solutions that include the right Baker Hughes technologies for the project.
Our Reservoir Technology and Consulting Group includes three consulting firms - Gaffney, Cline & Associates, GeoMechanics International and RDS - that provide technical and commercial consulting, with unique capabilities in reservoir engineering, geomechanics and subsurface engineering.
Product Line Expertise
Baker Hughes' global operations are backed by seven product line groups which develop, manufacture and support their industry-leading technologies.
INTEQ offers directional drilling and formation evaluation expertise through our worldwide service organization. Real-time drilling and evaluation services help oil companies drill more efficiently, evaluate geologic formations, and place wells in productive zones within the reservoir. Important technologies include INTEQ's automated rotary steerable directional drilling systems, high performance drilling motors, and integrated logging-while- drilling assemblies.
Baker Atlas provides a complete range of wireline logging services for every environment, including advanced formation evaluation, production and reservoir engineering, petrophysical and geophysical data acquisition services. In addition, wireline services include perforating and completion technologies, pipe recovery, and processing and analysis of open and cased hole data.
INTEQ and Baker Atlas services include data communications, data management and expert centers to improve drilling operations and enhance formation evaluation in real time.
The Baker Hughes Drilling Fluids product line provides fluids systems and services that help optimize the drilling and completion processes, maximize hydrocarbon production and manage drilling waste. Leading technologies include environmentally compliant water-based and synthetic-based mud systems and remediation fluids that can restore productivity from damaged wells.
The Hughes Christensen product line is the leader in Tricone™ and PDC drill bit, ream-while-drilling and casing drilling technology. Our application and design engineers work with customers to provide the best drill bit for the application to continuously improve drilling performance.
The Baker Oil Tools product line includes completion, intelligent production and intervention solutions that help manage cost and reduce risk while maximizing recovery. The product line provides a comprehensive line of completion systems, which maximize performance and safety from the reservoir to the surface. Production optimization services include permanent monitoring, chemical automation, and intelligent production systems. Wellbore intervention solutions address issues ranging from temporary well abandonment and fishing to casing exits, wellbore cleaning, and isolation, remediation and stimulation operations.
The Centrilift product line provides artificial lift systems, including electric submersible pumps (ESP) and progressive cavity pump systems, as well as specific engineering, project management and well monitoring services. Centrilift ESP systems can operate in harsh downhole environments that include high gas-to-oil ratio production, heavy oil, high temperatures and abrasive-laden fluids. New systems also address the needs of coal bed methane and subsea production.
The Baker Petrolite product line provides chemical technology solutions for hydrocarbon production, transportation and processing, and also delivers pipeline integrity services. We are a leader in oil/water separation technology and in solutions to control corrosion, deposition, bacteria and H2S in producing wells and production facilities. To serve refinery and petrochemical customers, Baker Petrolite provides chemicals and technical support to enhance plant processes, improve productivity, manage water treatment, and resolve environmental issues.
Reservoir Technology and Consulting
Baker Hughes formed the Reservoir Technology and Consulting Group to enhance the company's capabilities in reservoir engineering, geomechanics and energy consulting services. The group currently includes Gaffney, Cline & Associates and Geomechanics International, Inc., and RDS, which continue to operate as stand-alone consulting firms.
Gaffney Cline & Associates is an international advisory firm focused on providing integrated technical and managerial services to all sectors of the oil and gas industry. For more than 45 years GCA has provided strategic and detailed advice aimed at achieving practical and commercially viable results. In addition to reservoir engineering, GCA advises a wide group of clients in exploration, reservoir evaluation, field development, drilling and production, pipeline, refining and LNG projects throughout the world.
GeoMechanics International is a leader in consulting, training and software in the field of geomechanics and its application to oil and gas reservoirs. GMI was founded in 1996 by a team of experts from Stanford University's Department of Geophysics, and each of its consultants is a recognized leader in the field of geomechanics. GMI methods are focused on applying geomechanics modeling to the entire life of a reservoir and are based on 20 years of R&D and more than 12 years of practical application to oilfield problems. These methods have been proven to reduce exploration risk, save Non-Productive Time (NPT) and help increase production and recoverable reserves.
RDS is a fully integrated subsurface and wells consultancy operating in all hydrocarbon provinces in the world from locations in Aberdeen, London, Kuala Lumpur and Perth. The firm works on projects ranging from single discipline studies to fully integrated field management services.
