Baker Hughes has secured a major contract from Searah North Ganal, a subsidiary of Searah, a joint venture between Eni and PETRONAS, to provide subsea production systems and digital solutions for the Kutei Northern Hub development offshore Indonesia.
Under the agreement, Baker Hughes will supply 17 deepwater
horizontal tree systems, associated manifolds, connections, control and
distribution systems for the Geng North and Gehem fields.
The company will also deploy its Cordant asset protection
and condition monitoring technologies to help identify equipment risks, reduce
unplanned downtime and improve subsea operational efficiency.
The project is expected to support natural gas production
and contribute to Indonesia’s LNG capacity and domestic energy supply.
“The development of the Kutei Northern Hub is an important
step in Indonesia’s drive to deliver natural gas and LNG to power the country
and the broader region,” said Baker Hughes Executive Vice President of Oilfield
Services & Equipment Amerino Gatti. “By combining our proven subsea
production technologies, digital solutions and global experience developing
offshore projects, we’re supporting efficient, reliable and optimized
production from subsea systems through to gas processing and export, helping
enable a more secure energy future for Southeast Asia.”
Baker Hughes will use its manufacturing and operational
capabilities in Indonesia to strengthen supply chain resilience and support
project delivery.
Subsea trees will be manufactured at its Global
Manufacturing Center for Subsea Trees in Batam, while its Balikpapan facility
will provide additional operational and service support.
The contract expands Baker Hughes’ involvement in the Kutei
Northern Hub.
In 2025, the company secured an order for flash gas
compressors for the project’s new floating production, storage and offloading
vessel, designed to process more than 1 billion standard cubic feet of gas per
day and 90,000 barrels of condensate per day, with storage capacity of 1.4
million barrels. -OGN/TradeArabia News Service
