HOUSTON – Baker Hughes (NYSE: BHI) has introduced its new StimFORCE Gulf of Mexico well stimulation vessel.

“The StimFORCE vessel’s pumping capacity of 8,800 HHP combined with the large flexible deck configuration allows for multiple well acid or chemical treatments in a single trip, without the need to return to the dock and resupply,” said Kevin Wetherington, managing director, Gulf of Mexico. “The vessel’s fluid system, quality control laboratory, and remote data acquisition services ensure critical pumping information is available during all operational phases.”

Baker Hughes said the vessel’s modular system is designed for offshore and shallow-water pumping projects.
