Baker Hughes, one of the world’s largest oilfield service companies, plans to build a new $40 million center outside Bridgeport. The project will consolidate two existing facilities into one significantly larger center. The consolidation will preserve more than 200 existing West Virginia jobs and is expected to create an estimated 275 new jobs in the coming years. Construction is expected to reach completion by the end of 2012.
