April 22 (Reuters) - U.S. oilfield technology firm Baker Hughes BKR.O beat Wall Street estimates for first-quarter profit on Tuesday, helped by sustained demand for its drilling equipment and technology in international markets and North America.
The Houston-based company posted an adjusted profit of 51 cents per share for the three months ended March 31, compared with the average analysts' expectation of 48 cents per share, according to data compiled by LSEG.
