General Electric has many different businesses contained in its six reporting segments: Infrastructure, Commercial Finance, GE Money, Healthcare, NBC Universal and Industrial.

Oil and Gas

"Oil & Gas supplies technology-based equipment and services for the entire oil and gas industry - from drilling and completion to production, transportation, refining, processing, petrochemicals and plastics. We offer a wide range of surface and subsea drilling and production systems, equipment for floating production platforms, compressors, turbines, turboexpanders and industrial power generation equipment. As a global business, Oil & Gas supports the world’s leading national and international oil companies with latest technology products and services that drive improvements in productivity, efficiency and environmental performance."

"On February 23, 2007, Oil & Gas acquired Vetco Gray, one of the world’s leading suppliers of drilling, completion and production equipment for onshore and subsea applications in oil and gas fields. The business supplies flow control valves (known as “Christmas trees”), control systems, wellheads, manifolds, risers and associated after-market services."

"The global demand for oil and gas, coupled with a geographic imbalance between supply and demand, is promoting investment in the exploration, production, transportation and processing segments of the industry."
