Baker Hughes secures “significant” well construction contract from Petrobras for work offshore Brazil
(WO) – Baker Hughes announced a significant contract award from Petrobras for integrated well construction services in the Buzios field, offshore Brazil.
The integrated well construction services project is set to start in the first half of 2025 and will include drilling services, drill bits, wireline, cementing, wellbore clean up, fishing, remedial tools, fluids, services and geosciences. Baker Hughes will provide these services across three rigs over the course of the multi-year contract.
During the first phase of field development, Baker Hughes played a critical role in the offshore Buzios field, providing advanced technology and equipment. In addition to providing drilling, completions and wireline services, the company supplied WAG manifolds (water and gas) and more than 240 km of flexible pipes, including production lines, gas lift, water injection, and gas injection flexible pipes for use in 2,000-meter water depth.
Baker Hughes also supplied turbomachinery for 10 of the 11 FPSOs, including turbogenerators, motocompressors and turbocompressors plus condition monitoring, detection and fault protection on critical machines.
“Baker Hughes is proud to contribute to this significant project and expand our long-standing relationship with Petrobras, establishing ourselves as a major provider of integrated solutions in Brazil,” said Maria Claudia Borras, executive vice president, Oilfield Services and Equipment. “This agreement further highlights our broad capabilities in well construction, as well as our continued commitment to deliver excellence and value for customers.”
