Quarter Highlights

Winning with Customers

Baker Hughes' Oilfield Services (OFS) segment was awarded its largest-ever downstream chemicals contract in the quarter, becoming Valero's largest hydrocarbon treatment provider with a term of five years. The award expands the company's existing scope to include all 15 of Valero's refineries globally. The companies' longstanding relationship, and Baker Hughes' consistent service delivery and leading chemical capabilities were key drivers of this important award.

Also in the quarter, OFS continued to gain traction in its artificial lift product line. The company was awarded the majority scope for a major electrical submersible pump (ESP) tender with Saudi Aramco. This includes three long-term contracts to support all major projects in the country across onshore and offshore as well as sweet and harsh environments. Baker Hughes' strong service delivery and track record with the customer were integral to this win.

Baker Hughes' TPS segment was awarded a contract to supply turbomachinery equipment for Total S.A.'s Mozambique Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) export facility. The company will provide two liquefaction trains, including six gas turbines and twelve centrifugal compressors. The project is Mozambique's first onshore LNG export facility. The first two LNG trains are expected to produce approximately 12.9 million tons per annum (MTPA) of LNG.

TPS continued the momentum in its on-and-offshore segment in the quarter, securing an important technology award for a floating, storage, production, and offloading vessel (FPSO) offshore Latin America. Baker Hughes will provide the power generation equipment for the FPSO, including four LM2500+G4 gas turbines. This award builds on strong progress through the year, as the company's power generation and/or compression technology was selected for most of the major FPSO projects sanctioned in 2019.

In the quarter, TPS' NovaLT12 turbine reached an important milestone, starting operations at Lucart's cogeneration plant in their paper mill in Diecimo, Italy. Developed by Baker Hughes, the NovaLT family of gas turbines provides a more-efficient, cleaner power generation solution for a broad range of industrial and emerging energy applications. Baker Hughes' technology was selected for the cogeneration project for its ability to reduce emissions while improving efficiencies, demonstrating the strength and versatility of its portfolio.

In DS, the Bently Nevada product line was awarded the first order for its Orbit 60 Series condition monitoring and protection system by a major North American utility provider. The order comes shortly after the system's commercial launch in late 2019, demonstrating a strong commercial interest in the system's features and capabilities. Bently Nevada is the gold standard of condition monitoring for critical assets, with more than 100,000 systems installed globally. Orbit 60 is DS's next generation flagship system, raising the bar for digital transformation in the energy sector. With multiple test sites in operation today, Orbit 60 has enhanced cyber security features with greater flexibility and versatility than other available systems.

DS was also awarded four orders for its Flare.IQ emissions reduction technology for multiple downstream projects across Asia, representing growing commercial interest outside of North America. A cornerstone of the company's energy transition portfolio, Flare.IQ is an advanced flare control platform that reduces methane emissions, ensures high-efficiency flare combustion, and reduces steam usage in flare systems. Building on its proven track record and 50+ installations in North America, this win demonstrates the growing need for lower carbon technology and flare management on a global scale.

Technology and Innovation

Baker Hughes' DS segment continued to strengthen its capabilities, announcing technology partnerships with leading cyber security providers. This includes a collaboration with Tripwire Inc. to integrate industrial cybersecurity capabilities into its Nexus Controls SecurityST solution. DS is also teaming up with Trend Micro, one of the first cyber-security leaders in the industrial IoT space, to provide comprehensive protection across industrial control systems and operating technology environments.

Baker Hughes' OFS segment continued enhancing its chemicals capabilities in the Middle East. During the quarter, SABIC announced that it will partner with Baker Hughes to enable several water treatment and chemicals projects in Saudi Arabia. The team also broke ground on its first chemicals manufacturing facility in partnership with Saudi Aramco. These milestones support localization initiatives in the country and underpin Baker Hughes' commitment to the Middle East region.

Leading the Energy Transition

During the quarter, Baker Hughes made a significant step towards its commitment to net-zero carbon equivalent emissions from operations by 2050 by entering into an agreement to purchase 100 percent of its Texas electricity from renewable sources. This agreement represents 12 percent of the company's global carbon equivalent emissions and will result in a reduction of 1.2 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions over the next ten years.

Baker Hughes also reinforced its commitment to transparency and corporate responsibility, announcing its participation in the UN's Global Compact initiative - a voluntary leadership platform for the development, implementation and disclosure of responsible business practices. In joining the UN Global Compact, Baker Hughes commits to align responsible business practices with the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact on human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption, as well as take action in broader sustainable development goals.
