Baker Hughes, a GE Company, Surpasses Halliburton and Will Sign Well Logging Contract with Petrobras After Three Years Without Working for the Brazilian State Company
BHGE is back in the well logging market, the company has the second-best price in a Petrobras tender, its proposal was beaten by Schlumberger, but it is expected to take one of the wireline hiring lots for three years.
Schlumberger, with the best proposal, is expected to take lot A and Halliburton, which was defeated by BHGE, is likely to be left out of a deal valued at US$ 70 million.
This is the company’s first contract in three years, after its last well logging contracts with Petrobras ended in February 2016.
The contracts provided, respectively, for the provision of services and rental of high-tech equipment, amounting at the time to R$ 253 million and US$ 92 million.
