Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Notes)	Mar. 31, 2016
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 ("GAAP") 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/A for the year ended December 31, 2015. 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. Beginning in 2016, all merger and related costs are presented as a separate line item in the consolidated condensed statement of income (loss). Prior year merger and related costs were reclassified from cost of sales and cost of services; research and engineering costs; and marketing, general and administrative costs to conform to the current year presentation. New Accounting Standards Adopted In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which requires inventory measured using average cost methods, which we utilize, to be subsequently measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Currently, inventory is required to be subsequently measured at the lower of cost or market with market defined as replacement cost, net realizable value or net realizable value less a normal profit margin. We have elected to early adopt this guidance as of January 1, 2016 because we believe this approach will reduce the complexity in the subsequent measurement of our inventory. The guidance stipulates that the amendments in ASU No. 2015-11 shall be adopted on a prospective basis, therefore our adoption had no impact on prior reporting periods. New Accounting Standards To Be Adopted In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition requirements in U.S. GAAP and will require entities to recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The new standard also requires significantly expanded disclosures regarding the qualitative and quantitative information of an entity's nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, and is to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We have not completed an evaluation of the impact the pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which amends existing guidance on income taxes to require the classification of all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We have not completed an evaluation of the impact the pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, a new standard on accounting for leases. The ASU introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. The new standard also aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in the current accounting guidance as well as the FASB's new revenue recognition standard. However, the ASU eliminates the use of bright-line tests in determining lease classification as required in the current guidance. The ASU also requires additional qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures to better enable users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. We have not completed an evaluation of the impact the pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The standard provides a new requirement to record all of the tax effects related to share-based payments at settlement (or expiration) through the income statement. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We have not completed an evaluation of the impact the pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Halliburton Merger Agreement (Notes)	3 Months Ended
Halliburton Merger Agreement (Notes)	Mar. 31, 2016
Business Combinations [Abstract]
Halliburton Merger Agreement	HALLIBURTON MERGER AGREEMENT On November 16, 2014, Baker Hughes, Halliburton Company ("Halliburton") and a wholly owned subsidiary of Halliburton ("Merger Sub"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), under which Halliburton would acquire all of the outstanding shares of Baker Hughes through a merger of Baker Hughes with and into Merger Sub (the "Merger"). In accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1 of the Merger Agreement, Baker Hughes and Halliburton agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement on April 30, 2016, as a result of the failure of the Merger to occur on or before April 30, 2016 due to the inability to achieve certain specified antitrust related approvals. Halliburton has agreed to pay $3.5 billion to Baker Hughes, on or before May 4, 2016, representing the antitrust termination fee required to be paid pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Baker Hughes incurred costs related to the Merger of $102 million and $28 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, including costs under our retention programs and obligations for minimum incentive compensation costs which, based on meeting eligibility criteria, have been treated as merger and related expenses.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

Restructuring and Other Charges

IMPAIRMENT AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

IMPAIRMENT CHARGES

We conduct impairment tests on long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable based on estimated future cash flows. In the first quarter of 2016, oil prices fell to a twelve year low. Additionally, we experienced a continued decline in customer spending as our customers finalized their capital spending budgets for 2016 given the current outlook for a prolonged downturn. We considered these events to be possible impairment indicators and performed testing of long-lived assets for impairment.

As a result of our testing, certain machinery and equipment, with a total carrying value of $203 million, was written down to its estimated fair value, resulting in an impairment charge of $106 million. Additionally, certain customer relationship intangible assets, with a total carrying value of $29 million, were written down to their estimated fair values, resulting in an impairment charge of $12 million. Total impairment charges for the first quarter of 2016 were $118 million. The majority of the impaired machinery and equipment and intangible assets related to our businesses in Russia Caspian and in Asia Pacific. The estimated fair values for these assets were determined using discounted future cash flows. The significant level 3 unobservable inputs used in the determination of the fair value of these assets were the estimated future cash flows and the weighted average cost of capital of 15.0% for Russia Caspian and 13.5% for Asia Pacific.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

Throughout 2015 and during the first quarter of 2016, we have taken actions to restructure and adjust our operations and cost structure to reflect current and expected activity levels. These restructuring activities included workforce reductions, contract terminations, facility closures and the removal of excess machinery and equipment that resulted in asset impairments. Depending on future market conditions and activity levels, further actions may be necessary to adjust our operations, which may result in additional charges.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we recorded restructuring charges as summarized below:



	Three Months Ended			Three Months Ended
Restructuring Charges	March 31, 2016			March 31, 2015
Workforce reductions	$	47		$	247
Contract terminations	—			86
Impairment of buildings and improvements	(5		)	77
Impairment of machinery and equipment	—			163
Total restructuring charges	$	42		$	573

Workforce reduction costs: During 2015, we initiated workforce reductions that resulted in the elimination of approximately 18,000 positions worldwide. As of December 31, 2015, we had $81 million accrued severance remaining to be paid. In the first three months of 2016, we initiated workforce reductions that will result in the elimination of approximately 2,000 additional positions worldwide. As a result of this action, we recorded a charge for severance expense of $47 million. During the first quarter of 2016, we made payments totaling $77 million relating to workforce reductions. We expect that substantially all of the accrued severance remaining will be paid by the middle of 2016.

Contract termination costs: During the first three months of 2015, we incurred costs of $86 million for various contracts being terminated, primarily in North America. As of December 31, 2015, we had accrued contract termination costs of $26 million remaining to be paid. During the first quarter of 2016, we made payments totaling $16 million relating to contract termination costs.

Impairment of buildings and improvements: During 2015, we consolidated facilities and shut down certain operations, and as a result, we recognized $77 million of impairment charges in the first quarter of 2015 related to facilities primarily in North America and Latin America.

Impairment of machinery and equipment: During 2015 we exited or substantially downsized our presence in select markets primarily in our pressure pumping product line in North America and Latin America, and as a result, we recognized $163 million of impairment losses in the first quarter of 2015 to adjust the carrying value of certain machinery and equipment to its fair value, net of costs to dispose.

OTHER CHARGES

In addition to the matters described above, during the first three months of 2016, we recorded a loss on a firm purchase commitment of $51 million in North America. This loss is reported in cost of services. During the first three months of 2015, we recorded charges of $171 million, of which $29 million is reported in cost of sales and $142 million is reported in cost of services, to write-down the carrying value of certain inventory. The write-down, primarily in North America, includes lower of cost or market adjustments due to the significant decline in activity and related prices for our products coupled with declines in replacement costs. In addition, the adjustments include provisions for excess inventory levels based on estimates of current and future market demand. The product lines impacted are primarily pressure pumping and drilling and completion fluids.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

SEGMENT INFORMATION

We are a supplier of oilfield services, products, technology and systems used in the worldwide oil and natural gas business, referred to as oilfield operations, which are managed through operating segments that are aligned with our geographic regions. We also provide services and products to the downstream chemicals, and process and pipeline services, referred to as Industrial Services.

The performance of our operating segments is evaluated based on profit (loss) before tax, which is defined as income (loss) before income taxes and before the following: net interest expense, corporate expenses and certain gains and losses, including impairment and restructuring charges, not allocated to the operating segments.

Beginning in 2016, we excluded merger and related costs from our operating segments. These costs are now presented as a separate line item in the consolidated condensed statement of income (loss). Prior year merger and related costs have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Income Taxes - (Notes)	3 Months Ended
Income Taxes - (Notes)	Mar. 31, 2016
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES For the three months ended March 31, 2016, total income tax expense was $367 million on a loss before income taxes of $614 million, resulting in a negative effective tax rate of 59.8%, driven primarily by $502 million of valuation allowances. Due to the significant downturn in the U.S. market during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and uncertainty as to whether the U.S. will generate sufficient future taxable income to utilize the U.S. deferred tax assets, we concluded that valuation allowances were required. The valuation allowances are recorded against various deferred tax assets, including U.S. federal tax credit carryforwards ($164 million), foreign ($110 million) and state ($15 million) net operating losses ("NOL"), and certain U.S. deferred tax assets ($213 million). In addition, we currently intend to carryback the 2015 NOL and 2016 expected NOL resulting in a $427 million reduction to the beginning of year U.S. deferred tax assets and a $484 million increase in tax receivables, of which $324 million is reflected as a current income tax receivable recorded in other current assets in the consolidated condensed balance sheet.

A reconciliation of the number of shares used for the basic and diluted loss per share computations is as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016	2015
Weighted average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted loss per share	442	437

Anti-dilutive shares excluded from diluted loss per share ⁽¹⁾	—	2
Future potentially dilutive shares excluded from diluted loss per share ⁽²⁾	7	3


⁽¹⁾	The calculation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 excludes shares potentially issuable under stock-based incentive compensation plans and the employee stock purchase plan, as their effect, if included, would have been anti-dilutive.


⁽²⁾	Options where the exercise price exceeds the average market price are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss or earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Financial Instruments	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable, debt and foreign currency forward contracts. Except as described below, the estimated fair value of such financial instruments at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 approximates their carrying value as reflected in our unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheets. The estimated fair value of total debt at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $4,347 million and $4,321 million, respectively, which differs from the carrying amounts of $4,047 million and $4,041 million, respectively, included in our unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheets. The fair value was determined using quoted period-end market prices.

- Definition

Employee Benefits Plans

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

We have both funded and unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plans ("Pension Benefits") covering certain employees primarily in the U.S., the United Kingdom, Germany and Canada. We also provide certain postretirement health care benefits ("Other Postretirement Benefits"), through an unfunded plan, to a closed group of U.S. employees who, when they retire, have met certain age and service requirements.

The components of net periodic cost (benefit) are as follows for the three months ended March 31:



	U.S. Pension Benefits						Non-U.S. Pension Benefits						Other Postretirement Benefits
	2016			2015			2016			2015			2016			2015

Expected Cash Flows

For all pension plans, we make annual contributions to the plans in amounts equal to or greater than amounts necessary to meet minimum governmental funding requirements. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we contributed approximately $7 million to our defined benefit and other postretirement plans. We have revised our expected contributions and accordingly, we expect to contribute between $51 million and $55 million to our funded and unfunded pension plans and to make payments of between $11 million and $15 million related to other postretirement benefits for the remainder of 2016.

We contributed approximately $49 million to our defined contribution plans during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Effective April 2016, employer contributions to certain plans were suspended indefinitely. Accordingly, we have revised our expected contributions and now estimate we will contribute between $38 million and $40 million to our defined contribution plans for the remainder of 2016.

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.

The following lawsuits were filed in Delaware in connection with our Merger with Halliburton. Subsequent to the filing of the lawsuits, on April 30, 2016, the Merger Agreement with Halliburton was terminated as described in Note 2. "Halliburton Merger Agreement."

•

On November 24, 2014, Gary Molenda, a purported shareholder of the Company, filed a class action lawsuit in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware ("Delaware Chancery Court") against Baker Hughes, the Company’s Board of Directors, Halliburton, and Red Tiger LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Halliburton ("Red Tiger" and together with all defendants, "Defendants") styled Gary R. Molenda v. Baker Hughes, Inc., et al., Case No. 10390-CB.


•	On November 26, 2014, a second purported shareholder of the Company, Booth Family Trust, filed a substantially similar class action lawsuit in Delaware Chancery Court.


•	On December 1, 2014, New Jersey Building Laborers Annuity Fund and James Rice, two additional purported shareholders of the Company, filed substantially similar class action lawsuits in Delaware Chancery Court.


•	On December 10, 2014, a fifth purported shareholder of the Company, Iron Workers Mid-South Pension Fund, filed another substantially similar class action lawsuit in the Delaware Chancery Court.


•	On December 24, 2014, a sixth purported shareholder of the Company, Annette Shipp, filed another substantially similar class action lawsuit in the Delaware Chancery Court.

All of the lawsuits make substantially similar claims. The plaintiffs generally allege that the members of the Company’s Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to our shareholders in connection with the Merger negotiations by entering into the Merger Agreement and by approving the Merger, and that the Company, Halliburton, and Red Tiger aided and abetted the purported breaches of fiduciary duties. More specifically, the lawsuits allege that the Merger Agreement provides inadequate consideration to our shareholders, that the process resulting in the Merger Agreement was flawed, that the Company’s directors engaged in self-dealing, and that certain provisions of the Merger Agreement improperly favor Halliburton and Red Tiger, precluding or impeding third parties from submitting potentially superior proposals, among other things. The lawsuit filed by Annettee Shipp also alleges that our Board of Directors failed to disclose material information concerning the proposed Merger in the preliminary registration statement on Form S-4. On January 7, 2015, James Rice amended his complaint, adding similar allegations regarding the disclosures in the preliminary registration statement on Form S-4. The lawsuits seek unspecified damages, injunctive relief enjoining the Merger, and rescission of the Merger Agreement, among other relief. On January 23, 2015, the Delaware lawsuits were consolidated under the caption In re Baker Hughes Inc. Stockholders Litigation, Consolidated C.A. No. 10390-CB (the "Consolidated Case"). Pursuant to the Court’s consolidation order, plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint on February 4, 2015, which alleges substantially similar claims and seeks substantially similar relief to that raised in the six individual complaints, except that while Baker Hughes is named as a defendant, no claims are asserted against the Company.

On March 18, 2015, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the Consolidated Case in exchange for the Company making certain additional disclosures. Those disclosures were contained in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 18, 2015. The settlement was made subject to certain conditions, including consummation of the Merger, final documentation, and court approval. With the termination of the Merger Agreement with Halliburton, the March 18, 2015 settlement agreement is rendered null and void.

On October 9, 2014, our subsidiary filed a Request for Arbitration against a customer before the London Court of International Arbitration, pursuing claims for the non-payment of invoices for goods and services provided in an amount provisionally quantified to exceed $67.9 million. In our Request for Arbitration, we also noted that invoices in an amount exceeding $57 million had been issued to the customer, and would be added to the claim in the event that they became overdue. On November 6, 2014, the customer filed its Response and Counterclaim, denying liability and counterclaiming damages for breach of contract of approximately $182 million. On March 31, 2016, the parties agreed to a settlement principally involving the purchase by the customer of certain inventory held by our subsidiary, with all other claims and counterclaims being released and discharged by each party, and the arbitral proceedings being discontinued.

During 2014, we received customer notifications related to a possible equipment failure in a natural gas storage system in Northern Germany, which includes certain of our products. We are currently investigating the cause of the possible failure and, if necessary, possible repair and replacement options for our products. Similar products were utilized in other natural gas storage systems for this and other customers. The customer initiated arbitral proceedings against us on June 19, 2015, under the rules of the German Institute of Arbitration e.V. (DIS). The customer alleges damages of approximately $170 million plus interest at an annual rate of prime + 5%. The hearing before the arbitration panel is scheduled to commence on January 16, 2017. In addition, on September 21, 2015, TRIUVA Kapitalverwaltungsgesellschaft mbH filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division against the Company and Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations, Inc. alleging that the plaintiff is the owner of gas storage caverns in Etzel, Germany in which the Company provided certain equipment in connection with the development of the gas storage caverns. The plaintiff further alleges that the Company supplied equipment that was either defectively designed or failed to warn of risks that the equipment posed, and that these alleged defects caused damage to the plaintiff’s property. The plaintiff seeks recovery of alleged compensatory and punitive damages of an unspecified amount, in addition to reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. The allegations in this lawsuit are related to the claims made in the June 19, 2015 German arbitration referenced above. At this time, we are not able to predict the outcome of these claims or whether either will have any material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On August 31, 2015, a customer of one of the Company’s subsidiaries issued a Letter of Claim pursuant to a Construction and Engineering Contract. The customer has claimed $369 million plus loss of production resulting from a breach of contract related to five electric submersible pumps installed by the subsidiary in Europe. On January 29, 2016, the Customer served its Statement of Claim, Case No. CL-2015-00584, in the Commercial Court Queen's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice. Investigation is ongoing as to the merits of the claim. At this time, we are not able to predict the outcome of this claim or whether it will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On October 30, 2015, Chieftain Sand and Proppant Barron, LLC initiated arbitration against our subsidiary, Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations, Inc., in the American Arbitration Association. The Claimant alleges that the Company failed to purchase the required sand tonnage for the contract year 2014-2015 and further alleges that the Company repudiated its yearly purchase obligations over the remaining contract term. The Claimant alleges damages of approximately $110 million plus interest, attorneys’ fees and costs. The hearing before the arbitration panel is scheduled to commence on September 27, 2016. The Company intends to vigorously defend the claim. At this time, we are not able to predict the outcome of this claim or whether it will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On April 30, 2015, 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 North Dakota law was filed titled Williams et al. v. Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota. On February 8, 2016, the Court conditionally certified certain subclasses of employees for collective action treatment. We are evaluating the background facts and at this time cannot predict the outcome of this lawsuit and are not able to reasonably estimate the potential impact, if any, such outcome would have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On July 31, 2015, Rapid Completions LLC filed a lawsuit in federal court in the Eastern District of Texas against Baker Hughes Incorporated, Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations, Inc., and others claiming infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,907,936; 7,134,505; 7,543,634; 7,861,774; and 8,657,009. On August 6, 2015, Rapid Completions amended its complaint to allege infringement of U.S. Patent No. 9,074,451. On September 17, 2015, Rapid Completions and Packers Plus Energy Services Inc., sued Baker Hughes Canada Company in the Canada Federal Court on related Canadian patent 2,412,072. On April 1, 2016, Rapid Completions removed U.S. Patent No. 6,907,936 from its claims in the lawsuit. On April 5, 2016, Rapid Completions filed a second lawsuit in federal court in the Eastern District of Texas against Baker Hughes Incorporated, Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations, Inc. and others claiming infringement of U.S. Patent No. 9,303,501. These patents relate primarily to certain specific downhole completions equipment. The plaintiff has requested a permanent injunction against further alleged infringement, damages in an unspecified amount, supplemental and enhanced damages, and additional relief such as attorney’s fees and costs. At this time, we are not able to predict the outcome of these claims or whether they will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On April 6, 2016, a civil Complaint against Baker Hughes Incorporated and Halliburton Company was filed by the United States of America seeking a permanent injunction restraining Baker Hughes and Halliburton from carrying out the planned acquisition of Baker Hughes by Halliburton or any other transaction that would combine the two companies. The lawsuit is styled United States of America v. Halliburton Co. and Baker Hughes Inc., in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, Case No. 1:16-cv-00233-UNA. The Complaint alleges that the proposed transaction between Halliburton and Baker Hughes would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act. Subsequent to the filing of the Complaint, on April 30, 2016, the Merger Agreement with Halliburton was terminated as described in Note 2. "Halliburton Merger Agreement."

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 $1.2 billion at March 31, 2016. 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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Policies)	3 Months Ended
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Policies)	Mar. 31, 2016
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Nature of Operations	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	Basis of Presentation Our unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") 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/A for the year ended December 31, 2015. 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. Beginning in 2016, all merger and related costs are presented as a separate line item in the consolidated condensed statement of income (loss). Prior year merger and related costs were reclassified from cost of sales and cost of services; research and engineering costs; and marketing, general and administrative costs to conform to the current year presentation.
New Accounting Standards Updates	New Accounting Standards Adopted In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which requires inventory measured using average cost methods, which we utilize, to be subsequently measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Currently, inventory is required to be subsequently measured at the lower of cost or market with market defined as replacement cost, net realizable value or net realizable value less a normal profit margin. We have elected to early adopt this guidance as of January 1, 2016 because we believe this approach will reduce the complexity in the subsequent measurement of our inventory. The guidance stipulates that the amendments in ASU No. 2015-11 shall be adopted on a prospective basis, therefore our adoption had no impact on prior reporting periods. New Accounting Standards To Be Adopted In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition requirements in U.S. GAAP and will require entities to recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The new standard also requires significantly expanded disclosures regarding the qualitative and quantitative information of an entity's nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, and is to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We have not completed an evaluation of the impact the pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which amends existing guidance on income taxes to require the classification of all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We have not completed an evaluation of the impact the pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, a new standard on accounting for leases. The ASU introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. The new standard also aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in the current accounting guidance as well as the FASB's new revenue recognition standard. However, the ASU eliminates the use of bright-line tests in determining lease classification as required in the current guidance. The ASU also requires additional qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures to better enable users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. We have not completed an evaluation of the impact the pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The standard provides a new requirement to record all of the tax effects related to share-based payments at settlement (or expiration) through the income statement. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We have not completed an evaluation of the impact the pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Reconciliation of Weighted Average Number of Shares

A reconciliation of the number of shares used for the basic and diluted loss per share computations is as follows:

⁽¹⁾	The calculation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 excludes shares potentially issuable under stock-based incentive compensation plans and the employee stock purchase plan, as their effect, if included, would have been anti-dilutive.


⁽²⁾	Options where the exercise price exceeds the average market price are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss or earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

- Definition

Accumulated change in equity from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, net of tax effect, at period end. 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.
