Baker Hughes announced on March 20 that it secured a multi-year contract with Petrobras to provide fully integrated completions for the Brazilian state-owned energy giant’s offshore fields.
The deal, described as “major” by Baker Hughes, was awarded through an open tender and will support remote operations and real-time well management across multiple deepwater zones.

Amerino Gatti, Executive Vice President of Oilfield Services & Equipment at Baker Hughes noted that deepwater, high-pressure wells require an unmatched level of reliability and that the company’s completion technologies have proven themselves in harsh environments. “Through continual innovation, improvement, and testing, and in close collaboration with Petrobras, the Baker Hughes team has pioneered new ways to help develop Brazil’s natural resources safely and efficiently for decades to come,” Gatti added.
The agreement will see Petrobras utilizing Baker Hughes’ SureCONTROL Premium interval control valve (ICV), designed for high-flow offshore fields.

Additional completions technologies include SureSENS QPT ELITE downhole gauges, SureSENS B-Annulus monitoring system, SureTREAT chemical injection system, Sur-Set flow control system, and various safety valves, packers, and gravel pack systems.
Baker Hughes has long played a role in Brazil’s offshore sector, contributing to energy development and supply chain growth. This latest contract follows a recent deal in Nigeria and a multi-year assignment supporting ExxonMobil’s oil projects in Guyana.
