Baker Hughes supplying digital solutions to Petrobras

Baker Hughes will supply Petrobras with a suite of digital solutions across sites in Brazil. The order, booked in the fourth quarter 2020, will further expand Petrobras’ digital capabilities following a third-quarter 2020 order for a three-year frame agreement across multiple Baker Hughes digital solutions product lines.

Baker Hughes will support Petrobras’ thermal plants; refineries; gas treatment units; production plants; offshore platforms; and floating production, storage and offloading units (FPSO) with its technologies, helping ensure the latest regulatory requirements are achieved. The order includes flare monitoring and calibration technologies, cybersecurity and remote monitoring services, and interconnected machinery protection systems and sensors.

Baker Hughes secures an order with Petrobras to expand digital capabilities and reduce emissions.
