Baker Hughes, an energy technology company, has secured a significant order to supply gas technology equipment for the third phase of Saudi Arabia’s Master Gas System project. The order, placed by Worley on behalf of Aramco, underscores Baker Hughes’ continued partnership with Saudi Arabia in advancing its energy transition goals.
Under the agreement, Baker Hughes will provide 17 pipeline centrifugal compressors driven by state-of-the-art aeroderivative gas turbines for Aramco’s project. This new 4,000-kilometre pipeline is a crucial component of the Kingdom’s efforts to enhance domestic gas distribution and reduce carbon emissions and oil consumption. The contract follows Baker Hughes’ successful delivery of 18 centrifugal compressors driven by aeroderivative gas turbines for Phase 1 and 2 of the Master Gas System projects.
Lorenzo Simonelli, chairman and CEO of Baker Hughes, highlighted the company’s longstanding commitment to sustainable natural gas operations and its partnership with Aramco in reducing emissions through the transition to gas. He emphasised Baker Hughes’ role in advancing the efficient use of natural gas and expressed pride in delivering a reliable system to transport and distribute gas across Saudi Arabia.
In line with its commitment to Saudi Arabia’s energy objectives, Baker Hughes is investing in expanding its manufacturing site in Modon, Saudi Arabia. The upgraded facility, which includes doubling the capacity of its workforce, will enable the company to provide localised testing and packaging solutions, supporting the timely execution of projects like MGS3. Earlier this year, Baker Hughes announced the delivery of advanced hydrogen compression solutions for the NEOM green hydrogen project, further demonstrating its commitment to driving sustainable energy solutions in the Kingdom.
