BHI has no idea how to sell PP. They have no idea how to staff it, no idea how to market it. They have essentially killed former BJ. All BHI want is off shore PP. No idea how to manage land based services. Well the off shore stuff earns enough money it hides the incompetence!

How about a BUMP and a TOKE
PP is being sold off. This comes from a very reliable source and I know that all lawyers for Baker are working on finalizing the deal. I would guess that by the beginning on sept., baker will no longer have PP.
Calm down girls, have a curry.
PP start use more and more contractors, most of them R ex-employees. Some region only has a county manager (joined baker several years ago as gradudent), if there is a job, poor boy will be called on. Cheap day rate to finish the job.
How can you expect business can be done properly like this, they are f--- killing the business
Lol. The ones that were actually winning work are no longer with BHI and employed elsewhere. Life is good for me.
A tool company can't run pressure pumping. Thanks idiots for driving a good pp into the ground.
Splitting the PP company as you say won't matter at all . All PP companies have burned through cost savings and layoffs . You need to size down more so you can make a profit. PP has become a commodity business , when your inexperienced people break something it hurts badly . When you are late , short or without proper materials these customers remember. Baker Hughes PP is in a bad place they may never recover from .
BH has divided Pressure Pumping into 2 groups, US land (including Canada) and international. Each group has to "earn the right" to stay with the company. Tomball warehouse will soon stop supporting US land. All US land administrative support has been transferred to Rankin rd. It is what it is.
Pump, pump, pump
Sales people need to get off butt, and give out a few large back handers to the right people.
The equipment we are using is pretty much standard in the industry. All the frac jobs I have been on have gone very well most were zipper jobs and there were no failures that stopped the stages.
Hally sales girl, very good answer. We need to do something about the product that we are selling to boost reliability and customer satisfaction.
Sales people are doing everything they can , you just have an inferior product . Please don't blame the sales team . PP is a business Baker Hughes should have stayed out of . Baker cannot compete in the U S with Hal. or the independents . Internationally Baker has cooked their goose ( giving markets away ) The Baker equipment has many failures and problems . The plan to work in two basins will not support the size of the PP company you have and you end up having charge more to support your massive overhead .
We can't cut rates, how do you think I make money!
I hear they could not even sell curry to an Indian.
