Augury’s machine health technology will further build out Baker Hughes’ integrated asset performance capability, expanding coverage from critical assets to balance of plant machines in the energy and industrial markets. Machine health uses advanced sensors and artificial-intelligence-based software to predict and prevent machine failures.

Banks are finding more success with ESG-related bond sales than they are with fossil fuels. Renewable-energy firms may be able to combine the funding advantages of being a corporation with the tax advantages of being a partnership. Shell boosts solar in Brazil. And a new water-based, bio-based surfactant may be a game changer.

Traditionally, wireline or logging-while-drilling formation-testing technology has been the most accepted means of reservoir fluid characterization. But when those fluids are contaminated by mud filtrate, acoustic data can be used for fluid characterization during downhole sampling to successfully track and quantify small changes in oil compressibility.

Halliburton and Baker Hughes both forecast moderate growth in their latest quarterly earnings reports.
-
While Schlumberger, Halliburton, and Baker Hughes focus their legacy technology and service portfolios on driving up efficiency, driving down cost, and making current sources of energy less carbon intensive, they diverge on their approaches to scaling up development and deployment of breakthrough clean energy technologies.
