The contract with Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex) spans a variety of well conditions including depressurized and high-pressure and high-temperature formations, combined with complex geologies and depths ranging from 3,500 to 6,500 meters.

In response to these challenges, Halliburton’s project management group will provide Pemex with on-site personnel representing the full range of Halliburton products and services.

Halliburton stated that these products and services will include wellbore cementing tools, stimulation equipment and wireline technology, as well as drilling fluids, drill bits, directional drilling services and completion tools.

Roberto Munoz, Halliburton’s vice president for Latin America, said: While this project certainly comes with challenges, Halliburton will provide Pemex with optimized field development and added value through technologies including our real time operations management system.
