Halliburton Company (HAL - Free Report) has been awarded an offshore integrated contract by Sapura Drilling to operate as a technical partner for a well construction project off the coast of Malaysia.

Halliburton and offshore drilling contractor Sapura Drilling will carry out an Integrated Rig Drilling Completion (i-RDC) contract for a six-well offshore well construction project.

Per Halliburton, the campaign is the first integrated project of its kind in Malaysia, which incorporates rig services with all aspects of planning, operations and automation. The uniquely integrated nature of the contract enables Halliburton to synergistically deploy its advanced Halliburton 4.0 digital platform to its fullest potential to obtain a step-change improvement in operational efficiency.
