Item 8.01 Other Events.
On September 18, 2008 Baker Hughes Incorporated (the “Company”) posted the following Operations Report detailing the operational status of its facilities impacted by Hurricane Ike on the Company’s website (www.bakerhughes.com).
“In anticipation of Hurricane Ike, we closed several of our Gulf Coast operations facilities as well as all of our locations in the Houston metropolitan area before the storm made landfall. As of Thursday, September 18, 2008, we had resumed operations at most major Houston metropolitan area facilities. The Baker Oil Tools Navigation facility, the Hughes Christensen facility in The Woodlands, Texas, and the Baker Petrolite manufacturing plant in Bayport are expected to open Friday, September 19, 2008. The Baker Oil Tools facility on Emmott Road is expected to open on Monday, September 22, 2008. In addition, 24 of our facilities along the Gulf of Mexico from Cameron, Louisiana to Galveston, Texas are closed due to power outages and are expected to reopen as power is restored. A damage assessment is still pending at the Baker Hughes Drilling Fluids facility in Galveston. The return to normal levels of operation is dependent upon our customers’ plans to resume activity offshore and in other areas affected by the recent hurricanes.”
