Baker Hughes and Petrobras have signed a multi-year, fully integrated completions contract in which Baker Hughes will provide use of its completions technology portfolio at deepwater projects offshore Brazil, Baker Hughes said in a March 20 press release.

Baker Hughes will be combining its completions technologies with conventional upper and lower completions solutions to benefit Petrobras’ offshore development with remote operations capabilities and multizone control.

“Deepwater, high pressure wells require an unmatched level of reliability, and our completion technologies have proven themselves in these harsh environments,” said Amerino Gatti, executive vice president of oilfield services and equipment at Baker Hughes.

Petrobras will deploy a host of Baker Hughes’ completions technology, including the SureCONTROL Premium interval control valve to improve reliability of high flowrates and allow operators to respond remotely; the SureSENS QPT ELITE downhole gauges; SureSENS B-Annulus monitoring system; SureTREAT chemical injection system; Sur-Set flow control system; Orbit Premium barrier valves, a gas lift system; REACH subsurface safety valves; DeepShield subsurface safety valves; Premier packers; screens and gravel pack system.

“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 said.

Delivery will begin at the end of 2025.
