Baker Hughes announced today an order with Petrobras to provide a suite of digital solutions across Petrobras sites in Brazil. The order, booked in the fourth quarter 2020,   will further expand Petrobras’ digital capabilities following a third quarter 2020 order  for a three-year frame agreement across multiple Baker Hughes Digital Solutions product lines.
