About the company
Baker Hughes makes equipment and runs field services for oil and gas producers, LNG plant operators, pipeline companies and industrial power users.

Its oilfield arm drills, completes and maintains wells, while its industrial arm designs, builds and services turbomachinery, valves and monitoring software. It earns money from equipment sales, project work and long-term service agreements that keep installed machines running. The current company formed in 2017 when Baker Hughes combined with GE's oil and gas business, and it is based in Houston.
