Baker Hughes secures drilling services contract for gas storage project in Dubai
Baker Hughes has announced a multi-year contract with Dubai Petroleum Establishment (DPE), on behalf of Dubai Supply Authority (DUSUP), to deliver integrated coiled-tubing drilling services for the Margham gas storage project in Duabi.
This initiative aims to enhance Dubai's energy stability by improving the system's ability to alternate between natural gas and solar power.
The project leverages Baker Hughes' expertise in coiled-tubing drilling and under-balanced drilling, along with its CoilTrak coiled-tubing bottomhole assembly (BHA) system.
CoilTrak enables operators to navigate subsurface environments effectively during horizontal drilling, maximising reservoir contact, which is essential for underground gas storage.
Baker Hughes Oilfield Services & Equipment executive vice-president Amerino Gatti said: 'Baker Hughes has built a reputation as a leader in coiled-tubing drilling and mature assets solutions, and we bring a track record of success across the region to this important project.
'Our integrated solutions approach combines industry-leading technology and expertise across the energy value chain to help DPE scale-up and develop reliable, secure and lower-carbon power solutions for their country.'
Additionally, Baker Hughes secured an order to supply its Integrated Compressor Line (ICL) units from DPE, on behalf of DUSUP, for the Margham gas storage facility.
The order includes ten ICL units, with five designated for gas storage and the remaining five for dual-use injection boosting or gas export.
In March 2025, Baker Hughes entered into a framework agreement with NextDecade, a liquefied natural gas (LNG) company, to supply gas turbine and refrigerant compressor technology for trains four through eight of the Rio Grande LNG facility in Texas, US.
As part of the agreement, Baker Hughes will provide maintenance services for these equipment packages.

US oil/gas rig count falls for 6th week to 2021 lows, Baker Hughes says
By Scott DiSavino (Reuters) - U.S. energy firms this week cut the number of oil and natural gas rigs operating for a sixth week in a row for the first time since September 2023, energy services firm Baker Hughes said in its closely followed report on Friday. The oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, fell by four to 559 in the week to June 6, the lowest since November 2021. Oil rigs fell by nine to 442 this week, while gas rigs rose by five to 114, Baker Hughes said. It said it has corrected oil and gas classifications for approximately eight to 10 rigs in the Marcellus and Utica basins, effective April 4. Total reported rig counts for all historical periods remain unchanged. Total rig counts in the Permian in West Texas and eastern New Mexico, the Eagle Ford in South Texas and in the state of Texas all fell this week to their lowest levels since November 2021. In Utah, meanwhile, the rig count fell this week to its lowest since February 2022. The oil and gas rig count declined by about 5% in 2024 and 20% in 2023 as lower U.S. oil and gas prices over the past couple of years prompted energy firms to focus more on boosting shareholder returns and paying down debt rather than increasing output. The independent exploration and production (E&P) companies tracked by U.S. financial services firm TD Cowen said they planned to cut capital expenditures by around 3% in 2025 from levels seen in 2024. That compares with roughly flat year-over-year spending in 2024, and increases of 27% in 2023, 40% in 2022 and 4% in 2021. Even though analysts forecast U.S. spot crude prices would decline for a third year in a row in 2025, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) projected crude output would rise from a record 13.2 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2024 to around 13.4 million bpd in 2025. On the gas side, the EIA projected an 88% increase in spot gas prices in 2025 would prompt producers to boost drilling activity this year after a 14% price drop in 2024 caused several energy firms to cut output for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic reduced demand for the fuel in 2020. [NGAS/POLL] The EIA projected gas output would rise to 104.9 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) in 2025, up from 103.2 bcfd in 2024 and a record 103.6 bcfd in 2023.
