HOUSTON, Texas & Stavanger, Norway - Halliburton AS, a subsidiary of Halliburton (NYSE: HAL), has been awarded a three-year contract by Hydro to provide drilling services and complementary products for the operator's Oseberg South and on the Oseberg J-structure in the North Sea. The contract, valued at approximately $120 million USD, will include services from Halliburton's Sperry-Sun and Security DBS product service lines, such as directional drilling (DD), measurement-while-drilling (MWD), logging-while-drilling (LWD), mud logging (ML) and the supply of drill bits.

"Halliburton will commence to provide drilling services for the Oseberg J-structure in August and for Oseberg South in October 2004, which will add considerable activity to our drilling department," said Jan Erik Klungtveit, Halliburton Sperry-Sun and Security DBS country manager.
