“We were pleased with our first quarter results and remain optimistic on the outlook for 2023. We maintained our strong order momentum in IET and SSPS. We also delivered solid operating results at the high end of our guidance in both business segments, booked almost $300 million of New Energy orders and generated approximately $200 million of free cash flow,” said Lorenzo Simonelli, Baker Hughes chairman and chief executive officer.

“While 2023 has already started off with some macro volatility, we remain optimistic on the outlook for energy services and Baker Hughes. Our diverse portfolio features long cycle and short cycle businesses that position us well to navigate any periods of variability that may occur across the energy sector.”

“We continue to believe that the current environment remains unique, with a spending cycle that is more durable and less sensitive to commodity price swings, relative to prior cycles. Another notable characteristic of this cycle is the continued shift towards the development of natural gas and LNG. As the world increasingly recognizes the crucial role natural gas will play in the energy transition, serving as both a transition and destination fuel, the case for a multi-decade growth opportunity in gas is steadily improving as both a transition and destination fuel.”

“In addition to capitalizing on the commercial opportunities presented by this favorable macro backdrop, Baker Hughes remains committed in 2023 to transforming the Company operationally and positioning it for growth in the energy and industrial markets. I want to thank our shareholders, customers, and our employees for their continued hard work to deliver against our strategic goals,” concluded Simonelli.

Quarter Highlights

Supporting Our Customers

The Oilfield Services & Equipment ("OFSE") business segment was awarded its largest subsea tree order in almost five years through a contract with Azule Energy in the Agogo oilfield offshore Angola. Baker Hughes will supply subsea equipment and services, including 23 subsea trees and 11 Aptara manifolds. A significant portion of the equipment manufacturing will be conducted in country, utilizing Baker Hughes' local facilities and workforce,​ which is a key condition of many contracts in the region.

OFSE was also awarded a multi-year contract from Wintershall Dea for integrated well construction and completion services. Baker Hughes will provide integrated solutions to drill and complete 29 wells for gas exploration and development and three wells for CO₂ storage. The gas field will leverage Baker Hughes' project management expertise and advanced high-pressure, high-temperature technology, delivering an efficient and lower cost solution supporting greater energy security in Europe and future use as a CO₂ storage facility.

The Industrial & Energy Technology ("IET") business segment saw another excellent quarter commercially, continuing the strong momentum from the end of 2022. Gas Tech Equipment secured multiple LNG awards, including an order to supply two main refrigerant compressors (MRCs) for the North Field South project, which will be executed by Qatargas. The MRCs are part of two LNG “mega trains” representing 16 MTPA of additional capacity that is estimated to further boost Qatar’s LNG production capacity to 126 MTPA by 2027.

IET was also awarded an order by Bechtel to supply two MRCs for Sempra Infrastructure’s Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project in Jefferson County, Texas. Baker Hughes will supply gas turbines and centrifugal compressors across two LNG trains, for a nameplate capacity of approximately 13 MTPA, as well as two electric motor driven compressors for the plant’s boosting services.

In addition, IET secured orders for notable smaller scale LNG facilities, including a contract from Wison to supply four electric LNG (e-LNG) compressor trains for an onshore LNG plant. This is the first fully integrated Baker Hughes e-LNG train order, featuring 54-megawatt BRUSH electric motors now offered within the IET portfolio following Baker Hughes’ 2022 acquisition of BRUSH Power Generation. IET also secured an order from Black & Veatch, a subcontractor to the JGC and Samsung Heavy Industries consortium, for super-efficient LM9000 gas turbine technology to drive two compressor trains at PETRONAS nearshore LNG facility in Sabah, Malaysia. The two trains will have a capacity of 1 MTPA each.

The IET Gas Technology Services product line also continued to strengthen long-term relationships with key customers, securing multiple contracts across both LNG and non-LNG segments, including the renewal of a long-term service contract with a North American customer to cover 16 LM2500 gas turbines in the United States and Canada for another eight-year term, building on almost two decades of collaboration with the customer.

Executing on Priorities and Leading with Innovation

The first quarter saw Baker Hughes continue to strengthen its digital portfolio across OFSE and IET with two strategic announcements during its 2023 Annual Meeting.

OFSE announced a strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to develop, market and sell the cloud-based Leucipa™ automated field production solution. AWS will be the preferred and recommended cloud provider for the solution. The collaboration leverages AWS’ advanced analytics and Baker Hughes’ oil and gas expertise to create an automated field production solution to improve performance and energy efficiency, helping to reduce emissions. The Leucipa solution also minimizes health and safety exposure by reducing trips to the field.

OFSE also announced a strategic digital collaboration with Corva, a Houston-based company that delivers cloud-based well construction digital solutions, to bolster oil and gas customers’ rig visualization and drive enhanced decision making across the well lifecycle. By bringing this cutting-edge digital solution to customers, Baker Hughes continues to expand its well construction digital offerings for the oil and gas industry.

IET announced the launch of Cordant, an integrated suite of solutions for asset performance management and process optimization. IET also announced a collaboration with bp to further develop Cordant and enhance asset strategy across key operations in bp’s Gulf of Mexico operations, where Baker Hughes has a large install base of rotating equipment, controls and associated digital services.

In New Energy, IET was awarded a contract to supply CO₂ compression solutions for Petrobras’ P-80, P-82 and P-83 FPSO projects in Brazil. The six gas turbine-driven compression trains are designed to reinject more than 1 MTPA of CO₂ each into the oil reservoir. This latest contract will result in Baker Hughes supplying major compression services for all Petrobras’ FPSO vessels.​

IET secured another important milestone for its Climate Technology Solutions portfolio, with an equipment order from thyssenkrupp Uhde for a major clean ammonia plant project planned by Nutrien in the U.S. The plant will have a production capacity of 3,500 metric tons/day, and Baker Hughes’ scope of supply includes various natural gas and CO₂ compressors and steam turbines for ammonia production using the Autothermal Reforming (ATR) process, which allows for a nearly CO₂-free syngas production from natural gas with the help of pure oxygen. Baker Hughes technology was selected for its efficiency and best-in-class total cost of ownership.

IET also continued to support Air Products and its net-zero hydrogen energy complex in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, as part of the Company’s previously announced hydrogen collaboration framework in 2021. In the first quarter of 2023, Baker Hughes received an order to supply four complete pump skids to enable CO₂ capture in the blue hydrogen production facility. The equipment includes four API BB3 centrifugal pumps and one BB2 hydraulic power recovery turbine (HPRT), marking the first hydrogen production application using the Company’s centrifugal pump technology.

IET’s Condition Monitoring product line expanded Bently Nevada’s market leadership while helping customers accelerate digital enablement with several orders including a multi-million dollar contract in the Middle East to upgrade the System 1 software base of a gasification combined cycle complex. A second contract was secured in Europe to provide over 25 condition monitoring and protection systems for the region’s largest ethylene development, paving the way to a stronger and more sustainable economy. The solution features the flagship Orbit 60 protection system, RangerPro wireless sensors, and System 1 asset health management with advanced analytics.
