“BHGE delivered a solid first quarter against a backdrop of stabilizing global oil and gas markets. U.S. rig count dropped slightly less than expected, and international activity remained steady. The LNG market is very active. While the speed of the recovery varies across these markets, we see our Company positioned to benefit from multiple growth drivers,” said Lorenzo Simonelli, BHGE Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

“In the first quarter, we booked $5.7 billion in orders, driven by year-over-year growth in three of our four segments. We delivered $5.6 billion in revenue and adjusted operating income in the quarter was $273 million.

“In Oilfield Services (OFS), we saw typical seasonal declines in volume sequentially, and strong year-over-year growth across all product lines. In the quarter, we continued to execute in our core well construction product lines, and re-entered a number of markets globally by securing large, multi-year awards from customers. We remain focused on re-gaining profitable share in critical markets and improving margins.

“In Oilfield Equipment (OFE), we delivered another strong orders quarter, winning major contract awards across a number of subsea projects. Our new approach to subsea development, Subsea Connect, continues to gain traction with customers and was central in our wins with BP on their Tortue project and Beach Energy. We continue to leverage early customer engagement, modular technology and life-of-field planning to lower cost and improve cycle times.

“Our Turbomachinery & Process Solutions (TPS) segment saw continued activity in the LNG market, with further progress on several major projects. In the first quarter, we secured contract awards to provide turbomachinery equipment for the Golden Pass LNG export facility and BP’s Tortue Floating LNG project. We remain at the forefront of technology and solutions for the LNG market and are well positioned as new projects are sanctioned.

“In Digital Solutions (DS), we continue to drive growth with customers across end markets such as electronics, automotive, aviation and additive manufacturing. We are leveraging the strength of our measurement, sensing, and inspection technology portfolios to launch new products for our customers.

“In summary, we have a positive outlook across a number of end markets. Strengthening international markets will have the largest positive impact on our business, while operators in North America will continually re-evaluate their spending plans. The next wave of LNG projects will be positive for us, and we continue to see encouraging signs in the offshore market,” concluded Simonelli.

Quarter Highlights

Customer Wins

BHGE’s OFS segment secured a large, multi-year wireline contract with Petrobras to provide services for a large portion of the customer’s shallow and deepwater wells offshore Brazil, re-entering the market after several years.

The OFS team also won a number of significant Drilling and Completion Fluids (DCF) contracts in Asia Pacific, North America, and the Middle East, displacing competitors and driving growth for BHGE. In Malaysia, OFS won the first DCF award in the country after almost five years. In North America, OFS won its first significant drilling fluids award in the Permian in several years. In Kuwait, OFS took the leading DCF position in the country.

During the quarter, BHGE's new Subsea Connect strategy led to a number of important contract wins in the OFE business. Together with McDermott, BHGE will provide subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines and subsea production system equipment for BP's Greater Tortue Ahmeyim natural gas project. The award follows 12 months of close collaboration and co-location among the teams to define the right approach, technology and equipment for the project. The companies will continue to work closely to drive efficiencies and reduce lead times.

OFE was also awarded a subsea production contract by Beach Energy for the Otway Project, a natural gas field offshore South Australia. BHGE will provide seven medium-water horizontal trees, seven associated subsea control systems, and seven wellheads. The project will utilize a combination of global and local teams, building on BHGE’s strong presence and experience in Australia.

In the quarter, TPS secured an award to provide turbomachinery equipment for ExxonMobil and Qatar Petroleum’s 16 MTPA Golden Pass LNG export facility. BHGE will provide six heavy-duty Frame 7 gas turbines driving 12 centrifugal compressors for the plant. The gas turbine technology BHGE is deploying is the most utilized large industrial gas turbine in the LNG market, with almost 80 units in operation in 13 countries.

Also during the quarter, the TPS team won an award to provide turbocompressor technology for the 2.5 MTPA BP Tortue FLNG project. The Company will provide PGT25+G4 aeroderivative gas turbine-technology for four compressor trains. This solution is well proven in similar FLNG applications, achieving best-in-class reliability and availability rates. This award, together with the subsea win on the Tortue project, demonstrates the strength and breadth of the Company’s fullstream portfolio for offshore gas fields.

TPS also made progress in its on- and offshore production segment, securing a key win in Saudi Arabia for the Berri Oilfield located off the eastern coast of Ras Tanura. TPS will provide four high-efficiency electric motor driven compression trains. Once completed, the project will be capable of producing an additional 250,000 barrels of crude oil per day. This demonstrates BHGE’s commitment to Saudi Arabia's IKTVA program, driving local development and economic growth across the kingdom.

During the quarter, Frost and Sullivan recognized DS' Industrial Inspection business as the global market leader in industrial CT applications in 2018.

Technology & Innovation

Also in the quarter, BHGE’s OFS business opened a new Motors Center of Excellence in Oklahoma City, bringing innovation, manufacturing and repair and maintenance activities closer to customers. The center’s location will enable shorter turnaround times, lower shipping costs and improved margins.

TPS was selected by KBR to provide turbomachinery technology for KBR's standardized mid-scale LNG design. The design will feature BHGE's LM2500+G5 and LM6000PF gas turbines, which will provide ideal power ratings, speed and power flexibility, long maintenance intervals, and industry leading efficiencies for KBR-designed facilities. This partnership builds on the companies’ well-established 40-year history and partnership successfully delivering LNG projects.

The DS segment introduced Lumen, a ground- and drone-based advanced methane detection and reduction system. Using advanced data analysis, this technology provides methane concentration data to customers in real time, helping reduce emissions and increase safety.

Executing for Customers

BHGE’s latest line of drilling motors is helping operators drill faster and longer laterals in the Permian Basin. In the first quarter, a customer used BHGE’s Navi-Drill Duramax motor to drill 7,652 ft in 80 drilling hours, a 30% rate-of-penetration (ROP) improvement versus the offset well, saving the customer three days in rig time. The system has drilled 41 runs to date with ROP improvements averaging between 25-40% versus offset wells.

OFS’ leading drilling portfolio continues to deliver strong performance in challenging drilling environments globally. In the Gulf of Mexico, a customer deployed BHGE’s AutoTrak™ rotary steerable system to drill the longest slim hole side track in the region after an incumbent could not execute the scope of work required. In Asia Pacific, BHGE’s comprehensive drilling solution delivered a complex horizontal section for a customer in the Weiyuan Shale in under 10 days, a new record for the basin.
