Why this news matters:

Mature oil and gas fields are expected to account for much of global production growth this decade, making asset-life extension and production optimization increasingly important.
The new network gives operators access to shared expertise in subsurface, wellbore, facilities and AI applications that can be applied across multiple basins.
The initiative reflects growing industry focus on maximizing recovery from existing assets while preparing for eventual decommissioning and repurposing activities.

offshore infrastructure and vessel — Baker Hughes says its new global Mature Assets Solutions network will help operators improve production performance, extend asset life and address late-life field challenges.

During ADIPEC this week, Baker Hughes revealed its new global Mature Assets Solutions (MAS) hub network.

The aim is to help operators derive more value from mature fields, which collectively could account for 80% of global oil and gas production by 2030.

The service will provide specially tailored technology and digital solutions designed to help extend the lives of production facilities, improve production performance, and support the process of decommissioning and repurposing oil and gas wells.

Baker Hughes’ hub network includes collaboration centers with clients in the US, Brazil, Norway, Angola, energy hubs in the Middle East, and Malaysia.

“As operators turn to their existing oil and gas assets to drive production, innovative solutions are needed to address increasingly complex challenges,” said Amerino Gatii, EVP of Oilfield Services & Equipment.

At MAS hubs, clients will be able to work with the company’s specialists in subsurface, wellbore, surface facilities and artificial intelligence to develop solutions suited to their operational and economic goals.

The connected hub network model will also facilitate sharing of global expertise, technologies and approaches across regions, with insights from one basin used to address issues in another.

In Kuwait, Baker Hughes is working with Kuwait Oil Co. to optimize recovery via an integrated polymer-flood pilot program covering 11 wells.

Offshore Brazil, Baker Hughes collaborated with Petrobras on an integrated workover and well abandonment project, which in its first year of the project delivered subsea well abandonment times of less than 20 days.
