What is composed of many specially engineered components that
technicians assemble into a functional system that accomplishes
a specific job, often in hostile environments?
That’s right, Halliburton Offshore
Mixing and Pumping Systems
From tidelands to shelf to deepwater — Halliburton first
cemented wells in the Gulf of Mexico tidelands in 1938,
using barge-mounted equipment. In 1947, as drilling
contractors ventured offshore, they did so with skid
units developed by Halliburton. e pattern continues
with Halliburton equipment serving on every type of
offshore rig.
Today, shipyards around the world are building new
rigs and refitting existing ones to meet the growing
demand. Halliburton is building units to meet the
demand.

Standard Yet Modular
From the day an offshore rig is constructed or refitted to the day the well begins producing, everyone is on a clock. Countless components must
come together to create a smoothly functioning drilling rig, whether it is a cantilever jackup for deep-shelf work or a drill ship designed for
ultra-deep water, every assembly and component has a job to do. Regardless of whether it is small and simple, like a water-tight hatch, or large and
complex, like the liing apparatus or the global positioning system, it would not be on the rig if it didn’t have a job to do and it wouldn’t stay if it did
not perform well. When the rig reaches the drilling location, everything, including the cementing equipment, must be ready to start working –
flawlessly, and for as long as needed.
Halliburton designs, manufactures, stages and installs mixing,
pumping and pneumatic bulk-handling equipment with three
purposes constantly in mind:
• Quick and efficient installation
• Safe, reliable and effective operation
• Life-of-the-well zonal isolation
Our install operations group works with the contractors to comply
with their schedules while integrating with the many activities
that are taking place onsite. Halliburton has dedicated installation
teams in China, Korea, Singapore and the United States.
HAL 30495
Staging and Installation
Halliburton cementing equipment must take its place within the larger complexity of the rig itself, and to make sure this happens, Halliburton
preinstalls the several pieces that comprise an offshore cementing system.
Cementing skids are large and complex systems that include several diesel engines or electric motors, powerful pumps, and complex electronic
mixing and control systems. Staging ensures that the actual installation can take place as designed.
We stage the major components in our global
strategically located service centers ...
HAL 30498
HAL 30492
HAL 30497
Halliburton install crews preplan and fabricate fluid and pneumatic lines, sound enclosures and electrical connections to match the actual
installation on the rig. Doing so lessens surprises and subsequent delays during the actual installation.
... and fabricate connections to minimize
delays during the installation on the rig ...
... so that our system is ready when the rig is.

Halliburton Offshore
Cementing Skids
Safe, reliable and effective operation depends upon the
dependability of each component. Halliburton’s HCS
Advantage™ cementing skids are powerful units that
comprise six modules joined together to provide
improved mixing, pumping and environmental
performance.
e modular design helps reduce the amount of time and
cost required to install on offshore drilling rigs. e
modular design also provides greater flexibility since it
can be adapted to meet the operator’s exact power-train
configuration. Each module is tested and certified as
built and commissioned as a complete system, as is the
complete system upon installation.
HAL 30488
HAL 30490
HAL 24153
Halliburton skids are certified by ABS and DNV for Safe
Area or Zone II hazardous area classification.

of Halliburton’s offshore HCS
Advantage cementing equipment
system. Actual hookups vary
depending upon the rig. e
Halliburton system’s major
components include:
• Mixing/pumping unit
• Continuous metering (liquidadditive) system
• Steady flow separator
• Pneumatic bulk delivery system

Training and Support
Safe, reliable and effective operation is an
imperative for Halliburton. On offshore drilling
installations, the cementer operating the
equipment is trained to achieve the best
cement placement possible.
Halliburton trains cementers on full-scale
simulators in training centers strategically
located globally.
HAL 30491
HAL 30489
Cementers are trained in the safe and efficient operation of each of the modules
that make up a Halliburton offshore cementing system. Process Logic Control
(PLC) technology assists the cementer in providing accurate and successful
slurry delivery.
HAL 30503
And the ultimate purpose is life-of-the-well zonal isolation.
HAL 30502
Halliburton has engineered solutions to meet every requirement – from time-bound shallow-water flow and gas-migration remedies to
multi-tiered react-and-respond cementing systems that are designed to survive planned and unplanned stresses on the well for years to come.
