The deployment of Cordant APM, including Asset Health, Asset Strategy, and Asset Defect Elimination modules, across the BGCS aims to help Aramco optimise asset performance, reduce downtime, and drive greater operational efficiency. Leveraging advanced AI and physics-based modules, the suite delivers predictive insights and prescriptive maintenance strategies that help maximise asset reliability, extend equipment life, and support safer, more sustainable operations.
Aramco is expanding its Master Gas System (MGS) to meet anticipated increase in domestic energy demand and support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals by supporting lower emission energy initiatives and zero routine flaring. The Master Gas System Expansion - Phase 3 aims to convert power plants from oil to natural gas. By incorporating digital solutions in traditional energy infrastructure, Baker Hughes aims to contribute to Aramco’s efforts to support a lower-carbon future.
“This project is a clear demonstration of how we are supporting our customers on their energy transition journeys in one of the world’s most critical energy regions,” said Aravind Yarlagadda, Senior Vice President of Industrial Solutions, Industrial & Energy Technology at Baker Hughes. “By combining our expertise with advanced AI-powered digital technologies like Cordant APM, we aim to help customers like Aramco to enhance asset performance, increase operational resilience, and support progress toward more efficient, lower-carbon operations.”
This agreement builds on an earlier award under which Baker Hughes will supply gas technology equipment to Aramco to support the expansion of the largest unconventional gas field in Saudi Arabia.
