Halliburton Unveils New Stimulation Vessel

Dallas, Texas - Halliburton Energy Services (HES), a business unit of Halliburton Company (NYSE: HAL), introduced the Stim Star, its new deepwater stimulation vessel, to more than 400 customers in Houston and New Orleans in the last week. The vessel is commercially available for service in the Gulf of Mexico, beginning today.

The Stim Star is the latest addition to Halliburton's existing state-of-the-art deepwater stimulation fleet, which includes the War Admiral and Man-o-War. All three vessels are equipped to deliver Halliburton's latest stimulation technology solutions—Delta FracPac™ service, water packs, and Sandstone 2000™ service—to both deepwater and shelf customers.

"The addition of the Stim Star expands the rough sea capabilities of Halliburton's Gulf fleet to better handle the deepwater environment," states HES president Edgar Ortiz. "Personnel aboard the Gulf vessels average 15 years of experience in the fracturing and stimulation technology. The fleet, coupled with Halliburton's technology and delivery expertise, make these vessels the true Stars of the Gulf."

Founded in 1919, Halliburton Company is the world's leading diversified energy services, engineering, construction, maintenance, and energy equipment company. Halliburton Energy Services provides products, services, and integrated solutions for oil and gas exploration, development, and production. This March will mark the 50th year since Halliburton pumped the first commercial fracturing job in the energy industry.
