Baker Hughes extends deal with Petrobras

Baker Hughes has announced the expansion of its contract with Petrobras to provide integrated well construction solutions across oilfields in Brazil’s Santos Basin. The agreement strengthens the company’s role in offshore operations linked to the development of Brazil’s pre-salt resources.

The project includes the deployment of advanced drilling technologies, such as rotary steerable systems, logging-while-drilling tools and extended-life drill bits for deepwater wells. According to the company, the solutions are expected to improve operational efficiency and support access to subsurface reservoirs.

The work will be carried out jointly by Baker Hughes’ Integration & Solutions team and Petrobras’ wells team, also covering services related to cementing, wellbore clean-up, fluids and geosciences.
