GE将与贝克休斯达成300亿美元的交易

General Electric Co (GE.N) is nearing an about $30 billion deal to merge its oil and gas business with Baker Hughes Inc (BHI.N). The combined entity will be controlled by GE and would have publicly traded shares.

GE said in a statement last week that it was in talks with the oilfield services provider on potential partnerships but none of those options included an outright purchase.A partnership with Baker Hughes could help GE to transform its oil and gas division and emerge a larger player in the sector to better compete with oilfield services leader Schlumberger (SLB.N) .
