Baker Hughes and PETRONAS to collaborate for Asia-Pacific energy transition

The MoU serves as a foundation for collaboration initiatives between the two companies to enhance local supply chain capabilities and explore the feasibility of implementing a variety of technology solutions including:

• Sustainable energy solutions including carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS), as well as lubricants and biofuels for turbomachinery supply chain.
• Enhanced LNG services footprint and cross-border talent training and development programmes to strengthen local field operations capabilities.
• Exploration and production, chemicals, and mature assets solutions.
• Digital solutions, including AI.

In support of these initiatives, Baker Hughes announced plans to expand on its existing services footprint in Malaysia to develop a full aeroderivative gas turbine module repair services facility, inclusive of disassembly, assembling, grinding, and testing capabilities. With an installed base of over 600 gas turbines and continued expected growth given the energy expansion, these augmented services capabilities will provide enhanced service to customers across the region with the aim to accelerate service turnaround time and enable reliability and availability.

“It is critically important to grow alongside our customers in Asia-Pacific, including PETRONAS, as we work toward our shared goal of sustainable energy development to provide for a world that needs more reliable, secure, and lower-carbon energy,” said Baker Hughes Chairman and CEO, Lorenzo Simonelli. “We look forward to working alongside PETRONAS, as well as other local partners, to realise this additional localisation effort to help ensure energy is available today and in the future.”

Baker Hughes is currently undergoing assessments to identify the best location for placing its new expanded aeroderivative gas turbine services footprint in the country.
