The agreement on technological cooperation “Gazprom Neft” and Halliburton has been signed.

Halliburton experts will develop the most constructive and optimized options for embodying Gazprom Neft projects based on the data provided. An equally important aspect of cooperation, as part of the implementation of the contract between companies, is the joint conducting of seminars on the study and implementation of innovative developments of Halliburton in mining. The most important topics in the framework of cooperation will be work on deep -sea drilling, studying non -traditional resources and the development of TRIZ (hard -to -recover reserves). High -level experts will be present at the seminar, because this thematic specificity will require deep professional knowledge that would not be required if the heat exchanger for the pool or other non -specialized equipment would be purchased. Within the framework of the agreements reached, an executive committee will be created, formed from representatives of Halliburton and Gazprom Neft. Also, companies will study and implement the development of Russian universities and research centers for new technologies for the development of deposits and their intelligence. According to Vadim Yakovlev, the first deputy general director of Gazprom Neft, the main strategic task of the company is to bring hydrocarbon production to one hundred million tons in oil equivalent until 2020. Thanks to mutually beneficial cooperation with Halliburton, more than 50% of the raw materials will be obtained using new technological processes. This will maximize the efficiency and profitability of production in mature deposits. Mutually beneficial cooperation not only with Russian, but also with foreign companies leads to the fruitful implementation of innovative technologies that are suitable for the development of resources of specific deposits. The choice of the innovative technological process of production is made within the framework of the individual characteristics of each deposit. Halliburton General Director of the Russian branch of Halliburton, Konstantin Shilin, noted that Halliburton keeps a course to conduct experimental design and research work on the study and modeling of innovative technological processes for exploration and production of hydrocarbon. Halliburton makes great investments in these projects and sees for these scientific research and developments the development prospects of the production industry.
