History

Baker Energy was formed in 1990 with the acquisition of a Houston-based energy industry operations and maintenance company, MO, Incorporated (founded in 1982). Baker Energy’s North American energy business grew at 40 percent per year starting in 1998 with the expansion of its Managed Services performance-based operating model in the Gulf of Mexico.

In 1999, this growth was further augmented by the acquisition of another operations and maintenance company, Lafayette-based Steen Production Service (founded in 1960). Steen’s portfolio of clients enabled Baker Energy to enter into and expand upon new areas of operation such as the Inland waters of the Gulf Coast and the Gulf of Mexico Deepwater region.

Since its inception in 1991, Baker Energy has grown its business in the United States and expanded internationally through the acquisition of London-based Overseas Technical Service (founded in 1947). Today, the company provides a wide range of technical expertise for offshore and onshore oil and gas basins of North America and large international projects in Africa, Southeast Asia and South America.

In late 2009, the Engineering and Production Facilities division of international energy services company, John Wood Group PLC (Wood Group), acquired Baker Energy. Wood Group Engineering & Production Facilities is a market leader in engineering design, construction management and project management services, providing 'life-of-field' engineering, including greenfield and brownfield engineering, production enhancement, operations and maintenance, and commissioning.  With an extended range of engineering services in the design and operation of both offshore and onshore oil & gas production, transportation and processing facilities, E&PF provides value-added solutions that are fit-for-purpose and tailored for each client.
