Aramco selects Baker Hughes' APM for Master Gas System project
- Marks first enterprise deployment of Cordant™ digital solutions in Saudi Arabia, expanding Baker Hughes’ digital presence in the country
- Cordant™ Asset Performance Management to be deployed across four Booster Gas Compression Stations to drive uptime and reliability
- Master Gas System project aims to increase gas distribution across Saudi Arabia, supporting the Kingdom’s ambition to reduce carbon emissions
Baker Hughes announced that it has secured a multi-year contract with China Petroleum Engineering & Construction Corporation (CPECC) for and on behalf of Aramco to deploy its Cordant Asset Performance Management (APM) suite across four Booster Gas Compression Stations (BGCS) in Saudi Arabia. The award was booked in the second quarter of 2025.
The deployment of Cordant™ APM, including Asset Health, Asset Strategy, and Asset Defect Elimination modules, across the BGCS aims to help Aramco optimize asset performance, reduce downtime, and drive greater operational efficiency. Leveraging advanced AI and physics-based modules, Cordant™ APM delivers predictive insights and prescriptive maintenance strategies that help maximize asset reliability, extend equipment life, and support safer, more sustainable operations.
Aramco is expanding its Master Gas System (MGS) to meet anticipated increase in domestic energy demand and support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals by supporting lower emission energy initiatives and zero routine flaring. The Master Gas System Expansion - Phase 3 aims to convert power plants from oil to natural gas. By incorporating digital solutions in traditional energy infrastructure, Baker Hughes aims to contribute to Aramco’s efforts to support a lower-carbon future.
"This project is a clear demonstration of how we are supporting our customers on their energy transition journeys in one of the world’s most critical energy regions,” said Aravind Yarlagadda, Senior Vice President of Industrial Solutions, Industrial & Energy Technology at Baker Hughes. “By combining our deep-domain expertise with advanced AI-powered digital technologies like Cordant™ APM, we aim to help customers like Aramco to enhance asset performance, increase operational resilience, and support progress toward more efficient, lower-carbon operations."
This agreement builds on an earlier award under which Baker Hughes will supply gas technology equipment to Aramco to support the expansion of the largest unconventional gas field in Saudi Arabia. Together, these wins demonstrate the strength of Baker Hughes’ Industrial & Energy Technology portfolio and integrated capabilities – delivering value through the combined power of rotating equipment, digital solutions, and domain expertise to support the full lifecycle of critical infrastructure projects.
