Hydrogen is an essential part of a balanced energy mix and decarbonization strategy, but transportation and underground storage require understanding its unique properties. That’s why you need an execution company with an integrated approach to hydrogen storage and transportation to help facilitate safe, effective, commercially viable projects.

Halliburton’s solutions address the unique properties of hydrogen to help lower the total cost of ownership and streamline project completion.

With over 100 years of experience in well construction, planning, design, and monitoring, we provide custom hydrogen transportation and underground storage solutions. Our services and technology extend to pipeline and subsea repurposing and maintenance, site selection and subsurface modeling, new and repurposed well injection and monitoring, and long-term containment.

Hydrogen pipeline transportation

Halliburton helps minimize the risks inherent in hydrogen transportation through a deep understanding of its characteristics. We collaborate with our customers to understand project goals and use next-generation software to model hydrogen storage potential, thermodynamics, and how to help mitigate potential hydrogen loss.

Our hydrogen transportation services include:

  • Pipeline drying, inspection, and recommissioning
  • Maintenance, monitoring, and control of pipelines
  • Electric subsea testing to help safely transport hydrogen and meet regulatory requirements

Underground hydrogen storage design

We help mitigate the effects of hydrogen embrittlement and plans for potential hydrogen interactions with cement, water, hydrocarbons, and minerals in the formation. We also help ensure caprock integrity to contain hydrogen molecules in the subsurface.

Our well and injection system design for hydrogen storage focuses on:

  • Appropriate material selection for new wells
  • Risk analysis of legacy wells
  • Subsurface understanding to help mitigate the effects of hydrogen injection
  • Plans for MMV prior to project commencement

Hydrogen storage execution

We construct underground hydrogen storage wells for our customers to support the lifecycle of a project in salt caverns and depleted formations. This helps ensure safe hydrogen storage and retrieval and assists with mitigation of corrosion that can damage cement and casing integrity.

Our hydrogen storage services:

  • Use well construction completions services and technologies such as formation evaluation and hydrogen-ready completions design
  • Assist with long-term zonal isolation and verification of storage barrier dependability
  • Help mitigate corrosion with a combination of corrosion-resistant cement and software

Cutting-edge hydrogen energy projects

Halliburton’s global footprint and experience with wellbore construction helps reduce uncertainty for white hydrogen storage in salt caverns and depleted oilfields. We draw upon our 100 years of global well expertise to help construct new wells and repurpose existing assets. We help maximize existing resources and reuse infrastructure through:

  • Cement integrity analysis
  • Well diagnostics
  • Completions assessments
