From the reservoir to the refinery we create value with high-performance products and services to analyze, drill, evaluate, complete and produce oil and gas reserves and then transport and refine the hydrocarbons.
For over a century, innovation has been part of our DNA. Baker Hughes was formed in 1986 with the merger of Baker International and Hughes Tool Company—both founded over 100 years ago when R.C. Baker and Howard Hughes conceived ground-breaking inventions that revolutionized the fledgling petroleum era. Since those earliest advancements, we’ve never stopped searching for solutions to conquer the next frontier.
Collaboration is at the heart of our business. With more than 58,000 employees in more than 80 countries, our local geomarket teams work side by side with customers to engineer reliable, practical solutions—whether the application is deep water, unconventional hydrocarbons or production and water management.
Our nine regional and 23 geomarket management teams work to understand customer needs and coordinate delivery of reliable, practical solutions that include the right Baker Hughes technologies for the project.
