Baker Hughes Secures Major Gas Technology Order for Aramco's Jafurah Gas Field Expansion

Baker Hughes, a leading energy technology company, has secured a significant order from Saudi Aramco for the supply of gas technology equipment, supporting the third expansion phase of the Jafurah gas field. This strategic win underscores Baker Hughes' commitment to driving sustainable energy development and its position as a trusted partner in the global gas technology market.

The order, booked in the fourth quarter of 2024, comprises six gas compression trains and six propane compressors, along with associated balance of plants and auxiliaries. Baker Hughes will leverage its state-of-the-art electric motor driven compression solutions and advanced gas compression technology to support Aramco's ambitious gas expansion plans. The project is expected to be completed in 44 months, with the JV employing more than 400 engineers specializing in chemical processes.

This strategic win aligns with Baker Hughes' broader goals of expanding its presence in the Middle East and supporting the region's energy transition. The company's expertise in gas compression technology and its commitment to investing in local infrastructure, such as the recently expanded Damman Center in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, position it well to capitalize on the growing demand for natural gas and support Aramco's long-term objectives.

The awarding of this contract to Baker Hughes has significant implications for the competitive landscape of the global gas technology market. It further solidifies Baker Hughes' position as a leading provider of gas technology solutions, particularly in the LNG sector. With a significant order for modularized LNG systems and power islands, as well as a multi-year services frame agreement, Baker Hughes demonstrates its ability to deliver comprehensive solutions to meet the growing demand for LNG.

Moreover, this contract expands Baker Hughes' relationship with Aramco, which has already provided comprehensive LNG technology solutions for the Calcasieu Pass and Plaquemines LNG facilities. This expanded collaboration indicates that Aramco values Baker Hughes' expertise and reliability in delivering LNG projects.

In conclusion, Baker Hughes' securing of this major gas technology order for Aramco's Jafurah gas field expansion is a testament to the company's commitment to driving sustainable energy development and its position as a trusted partner in the global gas technology market. This strategic win aligns with Baker Hughes' broader goals of expanding its presence in the Middle East and supporting the region's energy transition, while also having significant implications for the competitive landscape of the global gas technology market.
