Journey

The biggest deal for Baker Hughes for years after it was subjected to an almost a decade of acquisition, integration with General Electric, and is now working independently and more than ever.

Nine years ago, the attempt to acquire Baker Hughes in Halberton was canceled at 28 billion dollars amid fears to combat monopoly in the United States and Europe. Today, the Baker market roof is hovering near 45 billion dollars.

After the Halliburton deal ended, Baker Hughes merged with Geers Oil and GAS, which was previously led by Simonelli. However, when the father fought GE, the decision was taken to rotate Baker Hughes on his own, and GE finally ignored.

In late 2019, “Baker Hughes, GE” Baker Hughes became again.
