Baker Hughes supplying Aramco

Baker Hughes said it will supply gas technology equipment for the third phase of Saudi Arabia’s Master Gas System project.

The order came from Worley on behalf of Aramco. Baker Hughes will supply 17 pipeline centrifugal compressors driven by aeroderivative gas turbines for Aramco’s project. The new 4,000-km pipeline will increase domestic gas distribution and contribute to a reduction of carbon emissions and oil consumption. The order follows the delivery of 18 of Baker Hughes centrifugal compressors driven by aeroderivative gas turbines for Phase 1 and 2 of the Master Gas System projects executed by Baker Hughes.

Baker Hughes is also investing in expanding its manufacturing site in Modon, Saudi Arabia. In addition to doubling the capacity of its workforce, the upgraded site will further support the delivery of projects in the country, including MGS3, with localized testing and packaging solutions. In February, Baker Hughes announced the delivery of the first two trains of advanced hydrogen compression solutions for the NEOM green hydrogen project in the Kingdom, the largest such project in the world.
