Halliburton Gaining Pump Technology in Baker Hughes Deal: Energy
This article is for subscribers only.
With its $34.6 billion purchase of Baker Hughes Inc., Halliburton Co. will add a new technology that’s aimed at replacing the well-known nodding donkey pumps that have been a symbol of the oil business for a century.
The new system, unveiled by Baker Hughes in May, offers a way to retrieve the final drops of crude from aging oilfields, and should help fill a gap in Halliburton’s offerings.
