Baker Hughes, an energy technology company, has expanded its presence in Guyana through the opening of a new local supercenter facility for oilfield services and equipment. The supercenter, which spans more than 8 acres, will support regional customers and bolster Baker Hughes’ localization efforts within South America.
Baker Hughes has a strong history of localization in Guyana. The company currently provides drilling services, drill bits, and drilling and completion fluids to several drilling rigs, with its Completions and Wellbore Intervention product line supporting all upper completions for development wells in Guyana. Baker Hughes’ Turbomachinery & Process Solutions (TPS) and Upstream Chemicals businesses also provide technology and solutions to the second floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel in Guyana, known as Liza Unity and other projects in the region.
The new multimodal supercenter has been built together with Baker Hughes’ existing completion warehouse and liquid mud and completion fluids plant, providing full support to customers in Guyana and Suriname. The supercenter represents a multimillion-dollar investment from Baker Hughes over 15 years and includes a workshop, warehouse, and laydown storage yard including maintenance facilities and equipment. Baker Hughes will also offer subsea equipment and installation services at the new supercenter. The supercenter is expected to employ more than 100 employees within five years, and the majority are expected to be Guyanese.
