3 Charting a Course for Safety and Quality The experience and knowledge of our people, coupled with a commitment to technological innovation, allow Halliburton to deliver technically superior, value-added products and services to our customers. The Halliburton technology center in Carrollton, Texas, is home to our state-ofthe-art testing and design facilities. This center has developed a steady stream of innovative oil industry products that have received numerous engineering innovation awards. HAL37790 Safe operating behaviors and practices are the highest priority for all activities on the Carrollton campus. The center was the first organization to obtain Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) VPP Star site status in Region 6, and it is the sixth-longest-tenured organization in the U.S. The center s engineering test facilities provide engineering analysis and support, high-pressure/high-temperature (HPHT) testing, and tool prequalification to American Petroleum Institute (API) and ISO requirements. The center also includes two working test wells, with rig accessories, that allow Halliburton to simulate actual well environments before running new tools in a customer s well.
4 5 Leading in Reliability MIKE ADAMS TEST WELL As the demand for energy increases, the drilling and completing of wells continue to forge new boundaries. Higher pressures, hotter wells, and tool complexities require state-of-the-art test facilities. Named in memory of one of our most respected test department leaders, the Mike Adams Test Well is designed to be safe, operationally efficient, and best in class for downhole testing of tools for both vertical and horizontal applications. The Mike Adams facility is a modern drilling rig running on clean, quiet electric power. This big-bore well has a cased hole configured with 20-inch x 13 3/8-in. x 9 5/8-in. casing. The 9 5/8-inch casing starts at 5,200 feet (1,585 meters) and kicks off the vertical bore through a 16-degree-per-100-foot (30.5-meter) radius into a horizontal section. The rig is outfitted with power tongs capable of making premium thread connections up to a 14-inch outside diameter (OD) and 80,000 ft-lb torque. The facility features an air-conditioned observation room with a safe viewing room for customers, a modern data acquisition (DAQ) system, dressing facilities, and an office area. 3 1/2-in.

HIGH-TEMPERATURE GAS TEST FACILITY HIGH-TEMPERATURE TEST FACILITY The High-Temperature Gas Test Facility (HTGTF) is used to test experimental designs for use in HPHT wells. The HTGTF has three below-ground heated and cooled test cells that are segregated to allow testing in one cell while installing/removing a test from the adjacent cell. The HTGTF was specifically built for testing with liquids or nitrogen gas with a working pressure of 40,000 psi and a maximum of 4 cubic feet (0.113 cubic meters) of nitrogen gas. Each test cell is designed to accommodate assemblies up to 45 feet (13.72 meters) and 28 inches (711 millimeters) in diameter and have a temperature range of 700 F (371 C) to 20 F (-6.7 C). The device undergoing testing receives uniformly heated/cooled air to simulate severe temperatures in a downhole environment. The facility also has a horizontal bunker 18 ft (5.49 meters) wide x 50 ft (15.24 meters) in length, and rated to the same pressure/volume as the test cells. The High-Temperature Test Facility (HTTF) is used to test experimental designs for use in HPHT wells. The HTTF has five below-ground heated test cells and one rapid-cool-down cell. The HTTF is ideally suited for performing liquid tests at 30,000 psi and 700 F (371 C). Each test cell is designed to accommodate assemblies up to 30 feet (9.14 meters) and 30 in. (762 mm) in diameter, and has a temperature range up to 700 F (371 C). The device undergoing testing receives uniformly heated air to simulate severe temperatures down hole. The rapid-cool-down test cell employs a selfcontained chiller unit capable of cooling to 32 F (0 C). Using the same control room equipment as the HTGTF, the HTTF contains PC-based virtual system controls with an integrated DAQ system. At the conclusion of a test, the data can be analyzed or charted using Microsoft Excel software. The information can also be printed directly from the DAQ system in a line chart format for immediate review. Cameras safely monitor the test cell area for potential problems, without exposing technicians to high pressures or temperatures.

8 9 DEEP WELL SIMULATOR TEST FACILITY Snubbing Jack Power Pack for Snubbing Jack Load Flange HAL42930 The Deep Well Simulator (DWS) is used to test experimental equipment designs for use in high-temperature (700 F/371 C), high-pressure (30,000psi) wells. The Deep Well Simulator is a below-ground facility designed to accommodate large-diameter assemblies up to 50-in. (1,270-mm) inside diameters (IDs) by 63 feet (19.2 meters) long and with temperatures up to 700 F (371 C). The basic design of the simulator is a vertical, cylindrical cell. Inside the cell, the device undergoing testing receives uniformly heated air, allowing a range of temperatures and pressures found in many severe wells to be simulated. A twin cylinder hydraulic snubbing jack is used for the dynamic manipulation of downhole completion equipment. A gantry crane located above the simulator facilitates the safe handling of long, heavy tubular assemblies. Heating System Air Handler and Controls HAL42932 The DWS control room contains PC-based virtual controls with an integrated DAQ system.

14 15 PRIMARY SHOPS/LABS WAREHOUSE STORAGE HAL42905 HAL42891 HAL42898 There are many features of the Carrollton Engineering Warehouse Storage Facility that help further efficiencies and improve overall quality assurance. Clean, safe, organized work spaces are the keys to helping ensure that our customers are receiving quality prototype tools for validation of customer testing and efficient service. Before heading to the Engineering Warehouse Storage Facility, and before and after testing, equipment is checked in and brought to the outdoor wash rack for an initial rinse while still in the basket. The onsite coordinator will check it over to ensure quality, and the forklift operator will deliver the tool for complete disassembly. Once disassembled, equipment is washed again in the pressure wash bay. All components are subjected to nondestructive examination (NDE) inspection. Once inspected, components are delivered for long-term storage to the Engineering Warehouse Storage Facility to await additional testing.
