Halliburton Expands Water Conservation Capabilities

in Key Shale Activity Areas

Houston Jan 16, 2012 Operators working in the Permian Basin, the Niobrara
Shale and the Eagle Ford Shale can now take advantage of enhanced
capabilities to reduce the amount of fresh water used for hydraulic fracturing
while at the same time reducing their overall cost for water-related services.
Halliburton is now offering enhanced water management services in these areas.
These services include several aspects of water conservation, including recycling
and reusing flowback and produced water, while also adding the ability to provide
fresh water as needed in certain high-activity areas. This enhanced capability will
help enable operators optimize their water use and well economics.

Halliburtons water conservation initiative is focused on reducing the amount of
fresh water used in fracturing, with the eventual goal of eliminating the need for
fresh water for fracturing.

This expanded service has been made possible by Halliburtons investment in
technology, water-related equipment and facilities, and development of high-
performance fracturing fluid systems that can be formulated with recycled or
produced water. In addition to recycling, Halliburton can also supply the volume
of fresh water needed to supplement available recycled water and can manage
the transport and storage of the required water volume. Additional services will
be available as soon as the facilities can be completed.


Halliburtons approach to water management is based on consideration of all the
costs involved in the entire water cycle related to fracturing, including, for
example, acquisition, transport, storage, conditioning, flowback water treatment,
recycling and disposal. Halliburton will be able to manage all these aspects to
help reduce operators overall water costs and the operators dependency upon
fresh water resources.

The primary technology involved in recycling flowback and produced water is our
CleanWave

service. CleanWave

service uses electrocoagulation to remove
suspended solids from water making it into a clear brine suitable for fracturing
and other wellsite applications. CleanWave service units are deployed in most
major activity areas across North America.

Halliburtons Total Water Management Solutions (TMWS) water supply points
are currently operating in Weld County, Colorado; Wilson County, Texas; and
Lea and Eddy Counties in New Mexico. These locations enable Halliburton to
serve a significant number of operators in those regions. Halliburtons water
service is available to operators using any service company.
