Oil company Baker Hughes’ location in Oklahoma City has a new addition.
The company, owned by General Electric, created the Motor Center of Excellence, which will aid gas and oil engineers of Western Hemisphere that use motors for downhole drilling. It should maximize efficiency and help to drill holes that are more accurate.
It took five years to design the center inside the Baker Hughes Oklahoma City supercenter. The center totals 128,000 square feet, has up-to-date monitoring and plant control technology, and houses about 100 employees.
Baker Hughes Oilfield Services CEO and president Maria Claudia Borras – along with Governor Kevin Stitt, multiple chamber officials of greater Oklahoma City, and Baker Hughes customers – came to the April 3 ribbon-cutting ceremony and official opening. At the event, Borras expressed the company's excitement to open the division in the middle of the country where drilling motors has a large demand. She also expressed pride in the company's innovation for state-of-the-art drilling designs.
Motors for directional downhole drilling uses fluid and hydraulic energy to increase torque and revolutions per minute (RPMs) in drills. The rotor and stationary housing are the main components, but specifications and processes for manufacturing require accuracy. According to Senior Plant Manager Karen Lane, the company manufactures and repairs drilling parts at its centers for the best performance.
