Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Nature of Operations
	Baker Hughes Incorporated (“Baker Hughes,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us,”) is a leading supplier of oilfield services, products, technology and systems used for drilling, formation evaluation, completion and production, pressure pumping, and reservoir development in the worldwide oil and natural gas industry. We also provide products and services for other businesses including downstream chemicals, and process and pipeline services.
	Basis of Presentation
	Our unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. We believe the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. In the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, all dollar and share amounts in tabulations are in millions of dollars and shares, respectively, unless otherwise indicated.
	New Accounting Standards Updates
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition requirements in U.S. GAAP and will require entities to recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The new standard also requires significantly expanded disclosures regarding the qualitative and quantitative information of an entity's nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period and is to be applied retrospectively, with early application not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment - Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which amends the definition of a discontinued operation by raising the threshold for a disposal to qualify as discontinued operations. The ASU will also require entities to provide additional disclosures about discontinued operations as well as disposal transactions that do not meet the discontinued operations criteria. The pronouncement is effective prospectively for all disposals (except disposals classified as held for sale before the adoption date) or components initially classified as held for sale in periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted the ASU in the second quarter of 2014 and it did not impact our consolidated financial statements or the notes to our financial statements.

Business Acquisition, Pro Forma Information [Abstract]	'
Acquisitions	'
	NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS
	On September 2, 2014, we completed the acquisition of the pipeline and specialty services business of Weatherford International Ltd. ("PSS") for total cash consideration of $246 million, subject to post-closing working capital adjustments. PSS will provide an expanded range of pre-commissioning, deepwater and in-line inspection services worldwide and will be included in our Industrial Services segment. The transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their preliminary fair values as of the acquisition date subject to adjustment upon completion of the final fair value estimates. As a result of the acquisition, we recorded approximately $60 million of goodwill and approximately $40 million of intangible assets. Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented because the effect of this acquisition was not material to our consolidated financial statements.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]	'
Segment Reporting	'
	NOTE 3. SEGMENT INFORMATION
	We are a supplier of oilfield services, products, technology and systems to the worldwide oil and natural gas business, referred to as oilfield operations, which are managed through operating segments that are aligned with our geographic regions. We also provide services and products to the downstream chemicals, and process and pipeline industries, referred to as Industrial Services.
	The performance of our operating segments is evaluated based on profit before tax, which is defined as income before income taxes and before the following: net interest expense, corporate expenses and certain gains and losses not allocated to the operating segments. During the third quarter of 2014, profit before tax for the Europe/Africa/Russia Caspian ("EARC") segment was impacted by a charge of $58 million associated with the restructuring of our North Africa business and impairment of certain assets, resulting primarily from the recent disruption of our operations in Libya. Concurrent with the restructuring of this business, certain North African entities previously reported in our Middle East/Asia Pacific segment were realigned and are now reported within our EARC segment to reflect how we manage the business. Accordingly, all prior segment disclosures for revenue and profit (loss) before taxes for these two segments have been reclassified to reflect this realignment. There were no material changes in segment revenue, profit (loss) before taxes or assets as a result of this change.
	Summarized financial information is shown in the following table:

	NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES
	Total income tax expense was $233 million and $605 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. Our effective tax rate on income before income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 38.7% and 36.2%, respectively. Our effective tax rates are higher than the U.S. statutory income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the third quarter 2014 charge of $58 million associated with the restructuring of our North Africa business and other losses where there is no tax benefit.

Foreign Currency [Abstract]	'
Venezuelan Currency Devaluation	'
	NOTE 5. VENEZUELAN CURRENCY DEVALUATION
	In early 2014, the Venezuelan government modified the currency exchange system by establishing two new exchange mechanisms, SICAD 1 and SICAD2, where participation in the auction process of each mechanism is controlled by the Venezuelan government depending on the economic sector within which a company operates. These mechanisms are in addition to the existing official exchange rate. There could be additional changes to exchange mechanisms in the future.
	We have not been eligible to apply for exchange at the official rate nor have we been allowed to participate in the SICAD 1 auctions. We have successfully participated in SICAD 2 auctions. As a result, during the second quarter of 2014, we adopted the SICAD 2 exchange rate of approximately 50 BsF per USD for purposes of remeasuring BsF denominated assets and liabilities and revenue and expenses because we believe the SICAD 2 rate was and continues to be the rate most representative of the economics in which we operate. Prior to this change, we were using the official exchange rate of 6.3 BsF per USD. The impact of this devaluation in the currency was a loss of $12 million resulting from the write down of our BsF denominated monetary assets and liabilities. This loss was recorded in marketing, general and administrative expense in the second quarter of 2014.
	In February 2013, Venezuela's currency was devalued from the prior official exchange rate of 4.3 BsF per USD to 6.3 BsF per USD, which applied to our BsF denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The impact of this devaluation in the currency was a loss of $23 million and was recorded in marketing, general and administrative expense in the first quarter of 2013.

	Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt and foreign currency forward contracts. Except as described below, the estimated fair value of such financial instruments at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 approximates their carrying value as reflected in our unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheets.
	The estimated fair value of total debt at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $5,021 million and $4,857 million, respectively, which differs from the carrying amounts of $4,413 million and $4,381 million, respectively, included in our unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheets. The fair value was determined using quoted period-end market prices.

We record a liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, including accruals for self-insured losses which are calculated based on historical claim data, specific loss development factors and other information. A range of total possible losses for all litigation matters cannot be reasonably estimated. Based on a consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, we do not expect the ultimate outcome of any currently pending lawsuits or claims against us will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these matters.
	We insure against risks arising from our business to the extent deemed prudent by our management and to the extent insurance is available, but no assurance can be given that the nature and amount of that insurance will be sufficient to fully indemnify us against liabilities arising out of pending or future legal proceedings or other claims. Most of our insurance policies contain deductibles or self-insured retentions in amounts we deem prudent and for which we are responsible for payment. In determining the amount of self-insurance, it is our policy to self-insure those losses that are predictable, measurable and recurring in nature, such as claims for automobile liability, general liability and workers compensation.
	During the third quarter of 2014, we investigated customer notifications related to a possible equipment failure in a natural gas storage system in the EARC region, which includes certain of our products. We are currently investigating the cause of the possible failure and, if necessary, possible repair and replacement options for our products. Similar products were utilized in other natural gas storage systems for this and other customers. At this time, we are not able to predict whether our products will need to be repaired or replaced and are not able to reasonably estimate the impact, if any, such repairs or replacements or other damages would have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	We are a defendant in various labor claims including the following matters. On April 28, 2014, a collective action lawsuit alleging that we failed to pay an as-yet-undetermined class of workers overtime in compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") was filed titled Michael Ciamillo, individually, etc., et al. vs. Baker Hughes Incorporated in the U.S. District Court for the District of Alaska (“Ciamillo”). We have accrued an estimate of potential damages for the Ciamillo lawsuit, the amount of which was not material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. On December 10, 2013, a class and collective action lawsuit alleging that we failed to pay a nationwide class of workers overtime in compliance with the FLSA and certain state laws was filed titled Lea et al. v. Baker Hughes, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Galveston Division ("Lea"). During the second quarter of 2014, the parties agreed to settle the Lea lawsuit, subject to final court approval, and we recorded a charge of $62 million, which includes the Lea settlement amount and associated costs and an amount for settlement of another wage and hour lawsuit. On October 21, 2013, a collective action lawsuit alleging that we failed to pay a class of workers overtime in compliance with the FLSA was filed titled Zamora et al. v. Baker Hughes Incorporated in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Corpus Christi Division (“Zamora”). In October of 2014, the parties agreed to settle the Zamora lawsuit, subject to final court approval, for an amount that was not material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	On May 30, 2013, we received a Civil Investigative Demand ("CID") from the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") pursuant to the Antitrust Civil Process Act. The CID seeks documents and information from us for the period from May 29, 2011 through the date of the CID in connection with a DOJ investigation related to pressure pumping services in the U.S. We are working with the DOJ to provide the requested documents and information. We are not able to predict what action, if any, might be taken in the future by the DOJ or other governmental authorities as a result of the investigation.
	OTHER
	In the normal course of business with customers, vendors and others, we have entered into off-balance sheet arrangements, such as surety bonds for performance, letters of credit and other bank issued guarantees, which totaled approximately $1.6 billion at September 30, 2014. It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments. None of the off-balance sheet arrangements either has, or is likely to have, a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Nature of Operations	'
	Nature of Operations
	Baker Hughes Incorporated (“Baker Hughes,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us,”) is a leading supplier of oilfield services, products, technology and systems used for drilling, formation evaluation, completion and production, pressure pumping, and reservoir development in the worldwide oil and natural gas industry. We also provide products and services for other businesses including downstream chemicals, and process and pipeline services.
Basis of Presentation	'
	Basis of Presentation
	Our unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. We believe the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. In the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, all dollar and share amounts in tabulations are in millions of dollars and shares, respectively, unless otherwise indicated.
New Accounting Standards Updates	'
	New Accounting Standards Updates
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition requirements in U.S. GAAP and will require entities to recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The new standard also requires significantly expanded disclosures regarding the qualitative and quantitative information of an entity's nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period and is to be applied retrospectively, with early application not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment - Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which amends the definition of a discontinued operation by raising the threshold for a disposal to qualify as discontinued operations. The ASU will also require entities to provide additional disclosures about discontinued operations as well as disposal transactions that do not meet the discontinued operations criteria. The pronouncement is effective prospectively for all disposals (except disposals classified as held for sale before the adoption date) or components initially classified as held for sale in periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted the ASU in the second quarter of 2014 and it did not impact our consolidated financial statements or the notes to our financial statements.
