</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On October&nbsp;27, 2006, Baker Hughes Incorporated (the &#147;Company&#148;) issued a news release announcing its
financial results for the third quarter ended September&nbsp;30, 2006, a copy of which is furnished with
this Form 8-K as Exhibit&nbsp;99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. In accordance with General
Instructions B.2. of Form 8-K, the information shall not be deemed &#147;filed&#148; for purposes of Section
18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by
reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly
set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Following the issuance of the news release and the filing of this current report on Form 8-K, the

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In addition to financial results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (&#147;GAAP&#148;) that were included in the news release, certain information discussed in the
news release and to be discussed on the conference call could be considered non-GAAP financial

(loss)&nbsp;from continuing operations, cash flows or other measures of financial performance prepared
in accordance with GAAP as more fully discussed in the Company&#146;s financial statements and filings
with the SEC. Reconciliations of such non-GAAP information to the closest GAAP measures are

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;HOUSTON, Texas &#150; October&nbsp;27, 2006. Baker Hughes Incorporated (BHI &#150; NYSE; EBS) today
announced that income from continuing operations for the third quarter 2006 was $358.6&nbsp;million or
$1.09 per diluted share compared to $220.6&nbsp;million or $0.64 per diluted share for the third quarter
2005 and $1,395.0&nbsp;million or $4.14 per diluted share for the second quarter 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net income for the third quarter 2006 was $358.6&nbsp;million or $1.09 per diluted share compared
to $221.9&nbsp;million or $0.65 per diluted share for the third quarter 2005 and $1,395.0&nbsp;million or
$4.14 per diluted share for the second quarter 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Operating profit, which is a non-GAAP measure comprised of income from continuing operations
excluding the impact of certain identified non-operational items, was $358.6&nbsp;million or $1.09 per
diluted share for the third quarter of 2006 compared to $220.6&nbsp;million or $0.64 per diluted share
for the third quarter 2005 and $359.8&nbsp;million or $1.07 per diluted share for the second quarter
2006. The non-operational item in the second quarter of 2006 related to the pre-tax gain of
$1,743.5&nbsp;million ($1,035.2&nbsp;million after tax), recorded as a gain on the sale of our interest in an
affiliate, resulting from the sale of our 30% interest in WesternGeco, our seismic joint venture
with Schlumberger Limited, to Schlumberger on April&nbsp;28, 2006 for $2.4&nbsp;billion in cash. There were
no non-operational items in the first or third quarters of 2006 or any quarter of 2005. Income from
continuing operations is reconciled to operating profit in the section titled &#147;Reconciliation of
GAAP and Operating Profit&#148; in this news release.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Third quarter results include a $0.02 per diluted share tax benefit attributable to the
reduction of the company&#146;s estimated effective tax rate for the twelve months ending December&nbsp;31,
2006 due to strong results from the Middle East and Africa.

good quarter for Baker Hughes. Our Drilling and Evaluation segment reported record revenue, record
operating profit and record operating profit margins with 44% year-over-year incremental operating
profit margins. INTEQ and Hughes Christensen had particularly strong quarters. Baker Atlas&#146;
results for the last several quarters reflect our ongoing investment in people and equipment and we
expect to see the benefits of accelerating growth in the first half of 2007.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#147;Our Completion and Production segment had record revenue with year-over-year incremental
operating profit margins of 29%. Baker Petrolite, in particular, had an outstanding quarter. We
are experiencing some growing pains from several successful quarters of rapid expansion at Baker
Oil Tools. Baker Oil Tools&#146; backlog is limiting their ability to respond to short lead time orders
which are generally associated with premium pricing. With the capacity additions coming on line in
Q4 2006 and Q1 2007, we expect Baker Oil Tools&#146; backlog to return to a more manageable level during
the first half of 2007.&#148;

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mr.&nbsp;Deaton concluded, &#147;We remain confident in our outlook for continued growth for 2007 and
through the end of the decade. We expect the industry to take appropriate actions in the first
half of 2007 to rebalance the North America natural gas market and we expect continued growth
outside of North America. A series of significant recent contract awards around the world
including Brazil, Mexico, Russia and Saudi Arabia support our outlook for continued international
expansion. Accordingly, we will continue to invest in manufacturing capacity, make additions to
our rental fleets, and hire and train field engineers to support our customers&#146; needs through the
end of the decade.&#148;

    <TD>Operating profit before tax and operating profit after tax are non-GAAP measures
comprised of income from continuing operations excluding the impact of certain identified
non-operational items. The non-operational item in the second quarter of 2006 related to the
pre-tax gain of $1,743.5&nbsp;million ($1,035.2&nbsp;million after tax) from the sale of our 30% interest in
WesternGeco, our seismic joint venture with Schlumberger Limited, to Schlumberger on April&nbsp;28, 2006
for $2.4&nbsp;billion in cash. The company believes that operating profit is useful to investors
because it is a consistent measure of the underlying results of the company&#146;s business.
Furthermore, management uses operating profit internally as a measure of the performance of the
company&#146;s operations. Income from continuing operations is reconciled to operating profit in this
section of this news release. Reconciliation of GAAP and operating profits for historical periods
can be found on the company&#146;s website at
<U>www.bakerhughes.com/investor.</U></TD>

    <TD>Operating profit before tax and operating profit after tax are non-GAAP measures comprised of income from continuing
operations excluding the impact of certain identified non-operational items. The non-operational item in the second quarter of 2006
related to the pre-tax gain of $1,743.5&nbsp;million ($1,035.2&nbsp;million after tax) from the sale of our 30% interest in WesternGeco, our
seismic joint venture with Schlumberger, to Schlumberger on April&nbsp;28, 2006 for $2.4&nbsp;billion in cash. There were no non-operational
items in the first or third quarters of 2006 or any quarter of 2005. The company believes that operating profit is useful to
investors because it is a consistent measure of the underlying results of the company&#146;s business. Furthermore, management uses
operating profit internally as a measure of the performance of the company&#146;s operations. Income from continuing operations is
reconciled to operating profit in the section titled Reconciliation of GAAP and Operating Profits in this news release.
Reconciliation of GAAP and operating profits for historical periods can be found on the company&#146;s website at
<U>www.bakerhughes.com/investor</U>.</TD>
