FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 12, 2009

LANDMARK DELIVERS TRUE 3D SEISMIC PROCESSING CAPABILITIES AND PARALLEL COMPUTING OPTIMIZATION IN NEW SEISSPACE R5000™ RELEASE

--Upgraded Application Enables Large Volume Pre-stack Processing, Collaborative Interpretation Workflows--

HOUSTON - Landmark, a brand of Halliburton's (NYSE: HAL) Drilling and Evaluation Division, has released SeisSpace™ R5000 software. The release addresses the needs of both operators and contractors by delivering the time and depth domain processing tools required to process and quality check large volumes of seismic data and provide superior seismic images to interpretation teams. The release also provides an open processing platform to support proprietary technology and specialty processing services.

     "E&P companies make a sizable investment in acquiring, processing and interpreting seismic data," said Chris Usher, research and development director, Landmark Software and Services. "With the SeisSpace R5000 release, Landmark is providing tools to ensure that those investments deliver the most accurate subsurface information in the shortest amount of time."

     SeisSpace R5000 provides users with an unmatched ability to efficiently manage seismic data on the latest multi-core CPUs and storage devices with the addition of more effective noise suppression from a suite of true 3D applications including a 3D FKK filter, spatial mix and FX-Y decon, as well as a new surface-related multiple elimination tool.

     Specifically, SeisSpace R5000 makes valuable pre-stack seismic data easily available to the interpreter, encouraging collaborative interpretive processing workflows that allow seismic processors to become much more vital contributors to the asset team. The software supports visualization of 3D, 4D, and even 5D pre-stack volumes and provides a direct connection and publishing link to OpenWorks®, Landmark's industry-leading project database, for these datasets, allowing interpreters to seamlessly access data and collaborate with processors. Seismic processors can now view their entire 3D seismic survey at once, and interactively work anywhere in the survey to test parameters, remove noise, and condition the data for interpretation.

     SeisSpace is a component of Landmark's synchronous R5000 release that includes upgrades to more than 70 products spanning all disciplines within the E&P lifecycle. All R5000 technologies offer E&P companies unprecedented levels of integration, the ability to customize workflows and an opportunity to achieve greater insight into their surface and subsurface assets, resulting in better-informed exploration and field development decisions. 

     As with all R5000 software releases, SeisSpace is available via Landmark's Software Manager (LSM), an electronic interface that enables customers to download products electronically at their convenience. With the LSM, customers can also review release notes and an installation guide prior to downloading, and track their download history, including applications and corresponding versions, quickly and easily.
