Our History
Baker Hughes: A Century of High Performance
Baker Hughes is the combination of many innovative companies that
have developed and introduced high performance technology to serve
the petroleum industry. Their combined history dates back nearly a
century. In 1907, Reuben C. Baker developed a casing shoe that revolutionized cable tool drilling. In 1909, Howard
R. Hughes, Sr. introduced the first roller cutter bit that
dramatically improved the rotary drilling process. Over the next
eight decades, Baker International and Hughes Tool Company became
worldwide leaders in well completions, drilling tools and related
services. The two companies merged in 1987 to form Baker Hughes Incorporated.
During its history, Baker Hughes has acquired and assimilated
numerous oilfield pioneers. The company now offers a wide range of advanced oilfield products
and services, which are delivered and applied through a worldwide
service network, and supported with world-class research,
engineering and manufacturing capabilities.
