Baker Hughes Incorporated and Weatherford International have closed the previously announced purchase and sale of Weatherford's pipeline and specialty services business.
The acquisition provides Baker Hughes with an expanded range of pre-commissioning, deepwater and in-line inspection services worldwide.

"Expanding our services will allow us to more effectively address our customers' process and pipeline challenges."
