Baker Hughes has secured a 60-month service agreement from Petrobras covering critical turbomachinery used in Brazil’s offshore production system and at a major refinery.
The contract, signed in Rio de Janeiro in February 2026 after an open tender, covers maintenance, repair and engineering advisory services for up to 64 aeroderivative gas turbines. The equipment is installed at sites considered important to production continuity, including about 19 FPSOs operating offshore Brazil and the Replan refinery in Paulínia, São Paulo.
The offshore units include Baker Hughes LM2500 and LM6000 turbines. Under the agreement, the company will provide lifecycle support aimed at maintaining equipment performance and reliability across the covered assets.
The work started in February 2026 and is being carried out through the Baker Hughes Service Center in Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro. The facility was established in 2010 to support Petrobras and provides services including disassembly and assembly. Baker Hughes also plans to expand the center’s capacity and technical capabilities with the addition of advanced grinding resources.
The company said the expansion is intended to improve service reliability while supporting Brazil’s local supply chain and employment base. The agreement also reflects Baker Hughes’ alignment with Brazil’s local content requirements and its focus on operational reliability in the country’s energy sector.
