Halliburton expands international scope with three new projects

Halliburton has been awarded several key projects by Shell in Brazil, Suriname, and São Tomé Príncipe.

In Brazil, Halliburton signed contracts with Shell that marked a significant milestone in the development of the Gato do Mato deepwater field in the pre-salt Santos Basin. Halliburton was selected for its integrated approach to well construction, completions, and interventions.

Halliburton will deploy its advanced technologies, such as the pre-salt open hole intelligent completion SmartWell^® system and its comprehensive drilling technology portfolio. The drilling portfolio includes the iCruiseX^® intelligent rotary steerable system integrated with LOGIX^® automation and remote operations platform to improve safety, efficiency, and performance.



Halliburton was also awarded a comprehensive well construction service contract by Shell for exploration wells in São Tomé Príncipe and Suriname, expected to begin in the third quarter of 2025. Under the agreement's terms, Halliburton will provide a wide range of services to include drilling, wireline, cementing, fluids, completions, and other third-party services.




These three projects build upon Halliburton’s 2024 awards across Shell's global portfolio, which further strengthen the companies’ long-standing collaborative efforts.
