Baker Hughes has announced two major contract extensions with Equinor to deliver integrated drilling and well services solutions, along with wireline intervention services.

The multi-year agreements will support Equinor’s offshore hydrocarbon production activities in the North Sea.

As part of the integrated drilling and well services contract, Baker Hughes will provide a comprehensive range of solutions for both mature assets and new developments. The company will draw on expertise from its Well Construction and Completions, Intervention and Measurement portfolios to support projects across the Norwegian continental shelf. Technologies including the Kantori autonomous well construction solution and TRU-ARMS advanced reservoir mapping services will be utilised to help develop offshore resources more efficiently.

Under the intervention services agreement, Baker Hughes will supply fully integrated well intervention solutions, combining its surface and downhole technologies with complementary systems provided by service partners. The objective is to enhance the lifespan and performance of offshore wells operating in the North Sea. The extended contract also broadens the deployment of Baker Hughes’ technology portfolio built around the PRIME Technology Platform, supporting both production optimisation and emissions reduction initiatives across the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

“Baker Hughes’ ability to provide holistic solutions that unlock incremental value for our customers has been proven through decades of operation in the North Sea,” said Baker Hughes Executive Vice President of Oilfield Services & Equipment Amerino Gatti. “From greenfield well construction operations to interventions that extend the life of mature fields, our innovative technologies and ability to integrate our services can help create a more secure energy future for Norway and all of Europe. We look forward to being part of this new chapter of collaboration with Equinor.”

Baker Hughes has maintained a longstanding presence in Norway’s energy industry, employing thousands of people and operating multiple facilities across the country. Earlier this year, the company inaugurated its new Subsea Services Center of Excellence and manufacturing facility in Dusavik. It also operates a dedicated Center of Excellence for Plug & Abandonment in Stavanger.
