Baker Hughes has secured two long-term contract extensions with Equinor to support offshore oil and gas production in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea.

The agreements cover integrated drilling and well services, as well as wireline intervention work. The scope will support both mature fields and greenfield developments on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

Under the drilling and well services extension, Baker Hughes will provide solutions across well construction, completions, intervention, and measurement. The company will also use Kantori autonomous well-construction solution and TRU-ARMS reservoir-mapping services to support offshore resource development.

The intervention contract will combine surface and downhole solutions with technologies from service partners. The work is aimed at extending offshore well life and improving performance in the North Sea.

Baker Hughes said the extended scope will draw on its PRIME technology platform to support production optimization and emissions reduction across the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

The company said it has worked in Norway’s energy sector for decades. Earlier this year, it opened a Subsea Services Center of Excellence and manufacturing plant in Dusavik and operates a Plug & Abandonment Center of Excellence in Stavanger.

The extensions follow a separate contract extension with Petrobras for integrated well construction work across Brazil’s pre-salt offshore oil and gas fields.
