Petrobras recently awarded Halliburton several strategic contracts to provide completion and stimulation services in deepwater fields. stimulation services in deepwater fields offshore Brazil. This decision reinforces the cooperation between the two companies and represents a step forward in the development of operations in complex areas such as the Santos Basin.

Technological solutions for offshore wells in Brazil

Among the fields benefiting from these services are the following BúziosSépia and Atapu, all located in the Brazilian pre-salt region. In Búzios, Halliburton will deploy its SmartWell system. SmartWellsystem, designed to enable real-time monitoring and dynamic reservoir management. This technology allows production to be adjusted more efficiently and safely.

In the Sépia and Atapu Sépia and Atapu fieldsfields, electrically actuated retrievable safety relief valves (eTRSV) type EcoStar. These tools play a crucial role in protecting the wells and the operational integrity of the infrastructure.

Maritime technology to maximize energy production

Another central component of the contract is the use of the Stim Star Brasil vessel, a unit specially equipped for offshore stimulation operations. This vessel will support formation treatment and flow enhancement activities, increasing the productive potential of the intervened wells.

The awarded services will begin to be executed in 2026, consolidating Halliburton’s position as a key player in the Brazilian offshore ecosystem. The U.S. company, with more than a century of experience in energy solutionsThe U.S. company, with more than a century of experience in energy solutions, thus reinforces its strategy of offering tailor-made technologies in demanding technical scenarios.

The long-term relationship between Halliburton and Petrobras is once again taking center stage in this stage of production expansion. Both players seek to maximize the value of existing assets through intelligent tools that increase productivity, safety and operational sustainability in challenging offshore environments.
