HOUSTON - Halliburton announced the execution of an integrated services contract with Petrobras for pre-salt development in the Santos Basin. The two year and six month contract will provide drilling and completion services to drive greater efficiency by applying pre-salt expertise and integrating multiple product offerings and technologies.

“We are pleased to win this work and to collaborate with Petrobras to provide a tailored application of Halliburton technology,” said said Anouar Fraija, vice president of Halliburton Brazil. “This contract is a testament to our continuous commitment to safety, superior service quality and helping operators maximize their asset value.”

Halliburton has an established track record in Brazil’s pre-salt fields, which have some of the most complex wells ever drilled, and require a broad scope of technologies and capabilities to achieve economical and operational success.
