Baker Hughes Secures Long-Term Service Contract for Tangguh LNG Facility in Indonesia

Baker Hughes has secured a 90-month service contract from BP for the Tangguh LNG facility in Indonesia. The contract covers spare parts, repair services, and field service engineering support for critical turbomachinery, including heavy-duty gas turbines, steam turbines, and compressors for three LNG trains. This long-term deal is a testament to the company's commitment to progressing energy development in Indonesia and ensuring the optimal performance of the facility.

Energy technology company Baker Hughes has secured a 90-month service contract from BP for the Tangguh liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility in Papua Barat, Indonesia. The agreement covers spare parts, repair services, and field service engineering support for critical turbomachinery at the facility, including heavy-duty gas turbines, steam turbines, and compressors for three LNG trains [1].

The deal, which extends Baker Hughes' long-standing relationship with BP at Tangguh, is designed to ensure the facility's continued reliable operation. The two companies have been cooperating since 2009, with the previous contract awarded in 2024 for the supply of additional critical power and compression systems for BP’s Tangguh Ubadari Compression and Carbon Capture project [1].

Tangguh LNG is a cornerstone of Indonesia's energy strategy and has suffered from delays following the Covid-19 pandemic and workforce disruptions [2]. The new contract with Baker Hughes aims to contribute to the sustained performance and availability of the plant’s critical turbomachinery, which is essential for LNG operation. The company has framed the deal as evidence of its continuing support for Indonesia’s energy future [3].

Baker Hughes is collaborating with PT Imeco Inter Sarana as its local consortium partner to meet Indonesian content requirements. The company's involvement in the LNG sector is growing, as it has recently secured a turbines contract with Commonwealth LNG and announced a $13.6bn takeover of US green techs business Chart Industries [2].

The Indonesia gas market grew 3.1% last year to $626m and features 112 production facilities [2]. The Tangguh LNG facility is expected to strengthen its operational resilience and production continuity, playing a critical role in supplying safe and reliable gas across Asia-Pacific.
