Baker Hughes announced the opening of a 49,000‑square‑meter Subsea Services Center of Excellence and manufacturing plant in Dusavik, Norway, on April 29 2026. The new facility is designed to support the North Sea and global offshore energy sector by enabling the manufacture, repair, and upgrade of subsea production trees, wellheads, and control systems. It also serves as a hub for offshore production services, including installation, intervention, and decommissioning activities.

The plant’s 12,000‑square‑meter workshop and multiple testing bays can recreate pressures up to 22,500 psi, allowing Baker Hughes engineers to test equipment for the most demanding subsea conditions. The center is powered entirely by renewable energy, underscoring the company’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and supporting the energy transition.

The new center reinforces Baker Hughes’ strategic focus on the oil and gas subsea market and positions the company to capture growing demand for advanced, efficient subsea production systems amid geopolitical uncertainty and the need for decarbonization. The facility complements Baker Hughes’ existing manufacturing sites in the UK and its other Centers of Excellence, creating a more robust global network for subsea solutions.

Baker Hughes has a long‑standing presence in Norway, with sites in Stavanger, Oslo, Bergen, and Hammerfest. The new Dusavik facility builds on that heritage and aligns with the company’s broader strategy to pivot toward energy technology, digital solutions, and decarbonization, including electrification and digitalization of subsea operations.

The opening of the facility marks a significant operational milestone for Baker Hughes, expanding its capacity to deliver high‑quality subsea equipment and services to the North Sea and beyond. The investment reflects the company’s confidence in the continued growth of offshore energy production and its commitment to meeting the evolving needs of the industry while reducing environmental impact.
