Halliburton

Aberdeen/Scotland – Halliburton has been awarded a one-year contract (with four one-year extension options) by Shell U.K. Limited for the provision of a portable modular rig. The initial work contract period is for one workover and three sidetracks on the Shell Gannet platform – operations which have the potential to increase the field’s oil production.
