The company said that this is the first ultra-high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) oil and gas drilling project in Asia, and the exploration campaign calls for two firm wells and one potential well.

Halliburton will provide directional drilling, measurement-while-drilling and logging-while-drilling services; well completion equipment and services; surface well testing and downhole drillstem testing equipment and services; and cementing equipment, fluids and pumping services.

The company said it will provide several ultra-HP/HT technologies for drilling, completions, cementing and testing.

Drilling is expected to begin in the third quarter of this year.

Halliburton is a provider of equipment and services for the upstream oil and gas industry.
