For the past year, the energy world has eagerly followed a historic event in the oil and gas industry involving the first coalescence of all three oil and gas sectors (upstream, midstream and downstream) under one services industry roof. On July 3, 2017, GE Oil and Gas combined with Baker Hughes, a GE company, to create a new entity: BHGE. By merging the downstream operations held by GE with the upstream and midstream operations already handled by Baker Hughes, BHGE officially became the world’s first and only fullstream company.
