The contract will see Baker Hughes deliver 17 deepwater horizontal tree systems, as well as associated manifolds, connections, control, and distribution systems. These will be used in the integrated development of the Geng North and Gehem fields.
The company will also provide its Cordant asset protection and condition monitoring systems. According to Baker Hughes, these systems are intended to help identify and mitigate equipment risks and reduce the likelihood of unplanned downtime.
The subsea systems and digital solutions are designed to support operations aimed at boosting natural gas production, contributing to Indonesia’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) capacity and domestic energy supply.
Baker Hughes plans to utilise its operational and manufacturing resources in Indonesia for this project.
Subsea trees will be produced at the company’s Global Manufacturing Center for Subsea Trees in Batam, Indonesia. Its Balikpapan facility, also located in Indonesia, is expected to provide additional operational and service support.
Baker Hughes oilfield services and equipment executive vice president Amerino Gatti said: “The development of the Kutei Northern Hub is an important step in Indonesia’s drive to deliver natural gas and LNG to power the country and the broader region.
“By combining our proven subsea production technologies, digital solutions and global experience developing offshore projects, we’re supporting efficient, reliable and optimised production from subsea systems through to gas processing and export, helping enable a more secure energy future for Southeast Asia.”
The latest contract follows a previous order placed in 2025, in which Baker Hughes was chosen to supply flash gas compressors for a new floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel at the Kutei Northern Hub.
The FPSO has the capability to process over one billion standard cubic feet of gas per day and 90,000 barrels of condensate per day, with storage for up to 1.4 million barrels.
In June this year, Baker Hughes was awarded a 13-year contract by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) to deliver comprehensive life cycle services for turbomachinery at the latter’s liquefaction facility in Bonny Island, Nigeria.
