Deepwater Exploration & Development

Since the first deepwater development began at Shell's Cognac field in 1979, Halliburton has played an important role in the advancement of technology used to solve deepwater challenges. Today, water depths continue to deepen, distances from shore have increased, while the challenges have become more complex.

In these situations, experience counts.

Deepwater basins exist in every corner of the world. With locations in over 70 countries, Halliburton's infrastructure is well positioned in each of the deepwater areas to provide superior customer service, leverage local knowledge and maximize well efficiency.

• Halliburton companies have participated in the vast majority of all producing deepwater wells.
• We've contributed to most of the world's deepwater completions.
• Our global footprint encompasses deepwater plays around the globe-from established areas in the Gulf of Mexico, Brazil and West Africa to emerging areas of opportunity in India, Malaysia, Australia, the Eastern Mediterranean, offshore Norway and Eastern Canada.
• Halliburton occupies #1 market positions in deepwater completions, stimulation and cementing. And we have #2 positions in directional drilling, MWD/LWD and drilling fluids.

The complex logistical and geological challenges associated with deepwater development projects are further complicated by equally complex safety concerns. A critical component of the Halliburton deepwater solution is the ability to deliver consistent HSE performance. Our extensive use of real-time centers (which we pioneered) to support deepwater operations is improving HSE every day by enabling collaboration among experts around the world without the need to travel to remote or hostile locations.

Proven technology, experience and global reach – that’s what you get when you select Halliburton as your deepwater service provider.
