Thread regarding Baker Hughes Inc. layoffs

Pressure pumping is gone

No matter what the other product lines say about BJ Services you all are now all in the same boat. You all said that Pressure Pumping was the bastard child. Now look at the rest of you in the same boat. Pressure pumping has idled most of their frac fleets and kept their cementing districts open even at a loss. This point that the stimulation business is gone for ever and either cementing is being sold off or kept for a divesture. Baker Jighes has shown that it could never be a true service company. Four years after buying BJ Servixes the supply chain, logistics and management could not muster up to become one. Baker hughes is a HR and HSE driven company where operations hands are tied and nothing more then a game of patty cake for the last four years. Many employees in the organization have done a great job being great employees but the management team was less then responsible with the investors money. The market we all know has helped make some of the decisions that we are seeing now but most of our failures in the last two quarters have been ourselves not being proactive and just giving up. We will see many previous employees in the next

Couple years working for our customers and Baker/ Halliburton will have many doors to knock on and rejection will be an issue. Good luck all.

The Baker Hughes supply chain is the only thing that kept pressure pumping alive . They were poorly run and did not embrace the one Baker motto so they failed . Simple as that . Baker PP equipment was expensive to build and very expensive to maintain so good reason to sell it off.

Still have allot of oil companies to this day that recognize pressure pumping as BJ Services on their daily reports, manifests, etc. There's allot to be said behind that!

Your right it is an HR company. At least they think so. I asked one of those bitches once if he knew what we (Baker Hughes) did. She thought about it for a minute and than said, "I think they make something"
