Baker Hughes to Provide Fully Integrated Completions for Petrobras’ Offshore Fields

Baker Hughes (NASDAQ: BKR), a leading energy technology company, has secured a multi-year Petrobras offshore contract with Petrobras. This deal will provide fully integrated completion systems for Petrobras’ offshore fields. The contract, awarded following an open tender process, will leverage Baker Hughes’ advanced technology to optimize production.

Advanced Completions Technology for Offshore Development

Baker Hughes will deploy its advanced completions technology across Petrobras’ deepwater fields. This will include intelligent completion solutions alongside conventional systems. As a result, remote operations and multizone control will be enhanced. Furthermore, the technology will reduce the risks of water and gas breakthroughs. Consequently, costly interventions in the production process will be minimized.

Amerino Gatti, Executive Vice President of Oilfield Services & Equipment at Baker Hughes, stated, “Deepwater, high-pressure wells require an unmatched level of reliability.” He also emphasized the company’s commitment to innovation and collaboration with Petrobras to ensure efficient resource development.

SureCONTROL and Other Cutting-Edge Technologies

A key part of the contract is Baker Hughes’ SureCONTROL Premium Interval Control Valve (ICV). This valve, specifically designed for Petrobras’ high-flow offshore fields, enhances reliability. It also allows operators to manage well conditions remotely in real time, providing added flexibility.

In addition, Petrobras will use other technologies, such as SureSENS QPT ELITE downhole gauges. The package will also include SureSENS B-Annulus monitoring systems and SureTREAT chemical injection systems. Other critical systems include Sur-Set flow control, Orbit Premium barrier valves, and REACH subsurface safety valves. These systems meet Petrobras’ rigorous standards and enhance the overall operational efficiency.

Baker Hughes Strengthens Brazil’s Energy Sector

Baker Hughes has been a key player in the development of Brazil’s offshore oil and gas industry for decades. The company’s localization strategy not only supports the national economy but also strengthens Brazil’s energy supply chain. Delivery for this project is set to begin in late 2025, marking another significant step in the country’s energy future.
