Baker Hughes has opened an oilfield services and equipment supercenter in Guyana to support regional customers and bolster the company’s localization efforts within South America, according to a news release.
Spanning more than 8 acres, the facility includes a workshop, warehouse and laydown storage yard along with maintenance facilities and equipment. Subsea equipment and installation services will also be offered at the supercenter.
Baker Hughes said the facility is expected to employ more than 100 employees within five years. The expansion builds on the company’s current services and product offerings, which includes technology and solutions for the Liza Unity FPSO. The vessel is the second for the Exxon Mobil Corp.-led consortium developing resources in the Stabroek Block offshore Guyana. Recoverable resources in the block are estimated at about 10 Bboe.

“Today’s announcement significantly expands Baker Hughes’ ability to support Guyana’s energy goals and leading oil and gas projects in the country,” said Maria Claudia Borras, executive vice president for Oilfield Services at Baker Hughes, during the facility’s opening ceremony on Feb. 14. “Baker Hughes is well-known in the region for service and technical excellence, and our new Guyana supercenter will bolster our efforts to expand even further into the evolving market.”
The new multimodal facility was built with Baker Hughes’ existing completion warehouse and liquid mud and completion fluids plant, providing support for its customers in Guyana and Suriname, the release said.
