Baker Hughes Incorporated and DuPont Chemical Solutions announced their strategic arrangement aimed at bringing a more sustainable water treatment technology to the oil and gas industry. The two companies have been collaborating since early this year.

Baker Hughes will use the chemical compounds and generators from DuPont, as well as their expertise in the application of chlorine dioxide (ClO2), in conjunction with Baker Hughes’ H2prO™ water management service to augment its Pressure Pumping operations. The cooperation between Baker Hughes and DuPont will lead to industry-leading best practices for water treatment and knowledge sharing between the two companies.

“DuPont is privileged to work with Baker Hughes, a global leader in the oil field services industry,” commented Bill King, North America Sales Manager for DuPont Water Technologies. “Baker Hughes is a respected brand in the industry and they will be a strong advocate for our technology in the upstream markets for supporting hydraulic fracturing and other oilfield water treatment operations.”
