Industrial Highlights | Baker Hughes Secures Major Petrobras Contract for Offshore Completions Systems

March 21, 2025 – Baker Hughes, a leading global energy technology company, has been awarded a substantial multi-year contract by Petrobras to supply advanced completions technology for deepwater oil fields offshore Brazil. This agreement aims to enhance production efficiency and well performance in some of the region’s most technically challenging environments.

Enhancing Offshore Operations with Advanced Completions Technology

Under the new contract, Baker Hughes will provide Petrobras with a fully integrated suite of well completions solutions, including flow control, monitoring, and safety systems designed for deepwater applications. These solutions will play a crucial role in maximizing oil recovery while maintaining operational safety in harsh offshore conditions.

Among the key technologies included in this project are:

  • SureCONTROL Premium Interval Control Valve (ICV): A high-reliability flow control solution enabling real-time remote adjustments across multiple well zones.

  • SureSENS QPT ELITE Downhole Gauges & B-Annulus Monitoring System: Advanced sensors for real-time monitoring of well conditions, improving operational decision-making.

  • SureTREAT Chemical Injection & Sure-Set Flow Control System: Designed to optimize well flow and chemical management, enhancing production efficiency.

  • Orbit Premium Barrier Valves, Gas Lift Systems, and DeepShield Subsurface Safety Valves: Critical components that improve well integrity and extend production lifespan.

Baker Hughes’ solutions have been developed to withstand the extreme pressure and corrosive conditions found in deepwater offshore fields. The contract reinforces Petrobras’ commitment to utilizing cutting-edge technology to optimize hydrocarbon production.

Background: Baker Hughes & Petrobras

Baker Hughes is a global energy technology provider with operations in over 120 countries. With a strong focus on innovation and sustainability, the company delivers advanced solutions for the oil and gas, power generation, and industrial sectors. Its expertise in well completions, drilling technologies, and energy transition initiatives makes it a key player in the industry.

Petrobras, formally known as Petróleo Brasileiro S.A., is Brazil’s state-controlled oil and gas giant. It is a leader in offshore oil exploration, particularly in deepwater and pre-salt fields, which hold significant untapped reserves. Petrobras has been expanding its use of advanced technology to improve production efficiency and ensure operational safety in offshore environments.

Use of Clad Materials in Offshore Equipment

Offshore oil and gas projects require specialized materials that can withstand extreme conditions, such as high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) environments and corrosive seawater exposure. Clad materials, which combine corrosion-resistant alloys with structural metals, are widely used in well completions and subsea equipment.

Strategic Importance of the Project

This contract marks another milestone in the long-standing collaboration between Baker Hughes and Petrobras, further strengthening their commitment to innovation in deepwater oil production. By integrating advanced completion technologies with durable, high-performance materials, the project aims to improve oil recovery rates while ensuring the safety and longevity of offshore infrastructure.

With Brazil's offshore oil production expected to grow in the coming years, investments in high-tech completions systems and corrosion-resistant materials will be critical in sustaining the industry's expansion.
