Thus, Baker Hughes recalls its engineers for the maintenance of key technological equipment (gas turbines and compressors) from NOVATEK’s Yamal LNG projects and Gazprom’s Sakhalin-2, project engineers from the project in under construction of NOVATEK’s Arctic LNG-2.
At the same time, Baker Hughes stopped shipping equipment for Arctic LNG-2, including gas turbines. The time of completion of the construction of the first line of the project is directly dependent on these deliveries.
According to sources, in fact, it calls for further operation and commissioning of foreign equipment, and also makes it impossible to provide spare parts for its repair.
Emphasizes that the American company is concluding the agreements, despite the fact that there are no direct restrictions on the service and supply of gas turbines in the Russian Federation (prohibited from concluding new contracts), and Gazprom and NOVATEK is not under direct US or EU sanctions, the newspaper notes.
Note that Baker Hughes is one of the so -called “big four” oilfield services, along with Halliburton, Schlumberger and Weatherford.
Oilfield services include: drilling wells (operational and exploration), their maintenance and overhaul, seismic surveys and geophysical work, infrastructure construction, use of improved oil recovery methods and production stimulation, transportation services, maintenance and repair of oil equipment.
Recall that since the beginning of 2022, Gazprom has reduced exports by almost a third. Less than 65 billion cubic meters of gas have been sold to non -CIS countries.
