Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations Baker Hughes Incorporated (“Baker Hughes,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us,”) is a leading supplier of oilfield services, products, technology and systems used for drilling, formation evaluation, completion and production, pressure pumping, and reservoir development in the worldwide oil and natural gas industry. We also provide products and services for other businesses, including downstream chemicals, and process and pipeline services. Basis of Presentation Our unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (“2013 Annual Report”). We believe the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. In the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, all dollar and share amounts in tabulations are in millions of dollars and shares, respectively, unless otherwise indicated.

Venezuelan Currency Devaluation - (Notes)	3 Months Ended
Venezuelan Currency Devaluation - (Notes)	Mar. 31, 2013
Foreign Currency [Abstract]
Venezuelan Currency Devaluation	VENEZUELAN CURRENCY DEVALUATION In January 2014, the Venezuelan government modified the currency exchange system whereby the official exchange rate of 6.3 Bolivares Fuertes (“BsF”) to the U.S. Dollar applies to certain economic sectors related to purchases of “essential goods and services” while other sectors of the economy apply an exchange rate determined by an auction process conducted by Venezuela's Complimentary System of Foreign Currency Administration (“SICAD 1”). Participation in the SICAD 1 mechanism is controlled by the Venezuelan government and is limited to certain companies that operate in designated industry sectors. In late March 2014, a third currency exchange mechanism was established (“SICAD 2”), which is expected to allow other economic sectors and companies to participate in the auction process. While the functional currency of our operations in Venezuela is the U.S. Dollar, a portion of the transactions and balances are denominated in BsF. For financial reporting purposes, we remeasure the local currency balances into U.S. Dollars at the official exchange rate of 6.3 BsF to the U.S. Dollar. We are assessing the applicability and impact, if any, on our business of the change in the currency exchange mechanisms and exchange rates. We do not believe the changes will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. If we applied a higher exchange rate, we would incur a loss in 2014. For example, if we were to apply an exchange rate of 10.7 BsF per U.S. Dollar, the closing rate of the last SICAD 1 auction in March 2014, to our local currency denominated balances at March 31, 2014, it would result in a loss of approximately $7 million. In February 2013, Venezuela's currency was devalued from the prior exchange rate of 4.3 BsF per U.S. Dollar to 6.3 BsF per U.S. Dollar, which applies to our local currency denominated balances. The impact of this devaluation was a loss of $23 million that was recorded in marketing, general and administrative expense in the first quarter of 2013.

Commitments and Contingencies - (Notes)	Mar. 31, 2014
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES LITIGATION We are subject to a number of lawsuits and claims arising out of the conduct of our business. The ability to predict the ultimate outcome of such matters involves judgments, estimates and inherent uncertainties. We record a liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, including accruals for self-insured losses which are calculated based on historical claim data, specific loss development factors and other information. A range of total possible losses for all litigation matters cannot be reasonably estimated. Based on a consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, we do not expect the ultimate outcome of any currently pending lawsuits or claims against us will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these matters. We insure against risks arising from our business to the extent deemed prudent by our management and to the extent insurance is available, but no assurance can be given that the nature and amount of that insurance will be sufficient to fully indemnify us against liabilities arising out of pending or future legal proceedings or other claims. Most of our insurance policies contain deductibles or self-insured retentions in amounts we deem prudent and for which we are responsible for payment. In determining the amount of self-insurance, it is our policy to self-insure those losses that are predictable, measurable and recurring in nature, such as claims for automobile liability, general liability and workers compensation. On October 21, 2013, a collective action lawsuit alleging that we failed to pay an as-yet-undetermined class of workers overtime in compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act was filed titled Zamora et al. v. Baker Hughes Incorporated in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Corpus Christi Division. On October 10, 2013, a class and collective action lawsuit alleging that we failed to pay a nationwide class of workers overtime in compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act and certain state laws was filed titled Lea et al. v. Baker Hughes, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Galveston Division. We are evaluating the background facts and at this time are not able to predict the outcome of these lawsuits or the amount of any loss that may arise from them. On May 30, 2013, we received a Civil Investigative Demand ("CID") from the United States Department of Justice ("DOJ") pursuant to the Antitrust Civil Process Act. The CID seeks documents and information from us for the period from May 29, 2011 through the date of the CID in connection with a DOJ investigation related to pressure pumping services in the United States. We are working with the DOJ to provide the requested documents and information. We are not able to predict what action, if any, might be taken in the future by the DOJ or other governmental authorities as a result of the investigation. OTHER In the normal course of business with customers, vendors and others, we have entered into off-balance sheet arrangements, such as surety bonds for performance, letters of credit and other bank issued guarantees, which totaled approximately $1.5 billion at March 31, 2014. It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments. None of the off-balance sheet arrangements either has, or is likely to have, a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Excludes Net Income (Loss), and accumulated changes in equity from transactions resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Includes foreign currency translation items, certain pension adjustments, unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in debt and equity securities, other than temporary impairment (OTTI) losses related to factors other than credit losses on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities that an entity does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell before recovery of the amortized cost basis, as well as changes in the fair value of derivatives related to the effective portion of a designated cash flow hedge.
