CEO CVX HAL

Halliburton Company (HAL - Free Report) teamed up with Optime Subsea to provide umbilical-less operations and subsea controls for offshore completion and intervention activities to improve operating efficiency, barring any complications.

Optime is a Norway-based company, which focuses on providing well completion and well intervention systems for subsea applications.

Notably, Halliburton will implement Optime’s advanced Remotely Operated Controls System, which is the first-ever subsea control system, to its completion landing string services for efficient and reliable access to subsea wells.

Moreover, both companies will provide intervention and workover control system services using Optime’s Subsea Controls and Intervention Light System (“SCILS”) technology. Notably, the SCILS technology is a remote digitally-enabled system, which backs Halliburton’s subsea intervention expertise. The company will likely offer innovative technologies across its international portfolio.
