Baker Hughes Expands Petrobras Well Construction Contract in Santos Basin Using AutoTrak
BKR•Baker Hughes will provide expanded well construction solutions for deepwater pre-salt offshore fields in Brazil’s Santos Basin, deploying AutoTrak rotary steerable systems, logging-while-drilling tools and Dynamus extended-life drill bits across multiple oilfields. This extension builds on a 2024 award and enhances integrated drilling efficiency with Petrobras.
1. Contract Extension with Petrobras
Baker Hughes has extended and expanded its integrated well construction contract with Petrobras in Brazil’s Santos Basin, building on a 2024 award to cover additional deepwater pre-salt oilfields.
2. Advanced Drilling Technology Deployment
The expansion will deploy AutoTrak™ rotary steerable systems, cutting-edge logging-while-drilling tools and Dynamus™ extended-life drill bits across multiple deepwater wells to improve subsurface access and drilling efficiency.
3. Integrated Solutions and Value Creation
Baker Hughes’ integrated approach combines drilling, wireline, cementing, wellbore clean-up, fishing, remedial tools, fluids and geosciences to unlock incremental value and set new efficiency and safety standards in offshore operations.
4. Operational Execution and Collaboration
The project will be executed by Baker Hughes’ Integration & Solutions team alongside Petrobras’ wells team, leveraging combined expertise to enhance operational efficiency in Petrobras’ offshore well construction operations.
