Yet another oilfield services company headquartered in Houston, Texas. Baker Hughes provides the hydrocarbons industry with reservoir consulting and products and services for drilling, formation evaluation, completion and production.
With almost 40,000 employees operating in over 90 countries, Baker Hughes is an amalgamation of numerous companies whose combined history can be traced back to the early 1900s. The Hughes section of the name actually comes from Hughes Tools Company which was owned by the father of legendary American entrepreneur, aviator and recluse Howard Hughes.
The company has numerous large contracts with all the Middle Eastern NOCs such as Saudi Aramco, Qatar Petroleum and ADNOC as well as interests in places as diverse as Kazakhstan and Algeria.
