Halliburton Introduces RezConnect

TM
Well Testing System

RezConnect Well Testing System provides a complete well testing solution for
wireless control of downhole tools, measurement and analysis of well-test data
in real time


HOUSTON March 20, 2014 Halliburton (NYSE: HAL) announced the release of the
RezConnect Well Testing System, a complete well testing solution for wireless control
of downhole drill stem test tools (DST), measurement and analysis of well-test data in
real time. Previously, control of DST tools was done through annulus pressure
manipulation. The RezConnect Well Testing System uses Halliburtons proprietary
DynaLink Telemetry System, a fully wireless downhole sensor and actuator network
using acoustic energy in the tubing string. The RezConnect Well Testing System
integrates all the DST tools and allows surface verification of their operational status.
Additionally, it provides acoustic control of DST tools, actuation of downhole fluid
samplers and collects real-time well flow measurement and bottom hole pressure and
temperature data for reservoir performance monitoring and analysis.

These capabilities enable immediate and accurate decisions to be made during well
testing operations, ensuring operators can more efficiently achieve their intended well
test objectives with less rig time compared to conventional testing methods, said
Abdalla Awara, vice president of Halliburtons Testing and Subsea business line.

Recently, the RezConnect Well Testing System was used on a deepwater well in Latin
America, the industrys first fully acoustic telemetry controlled and monitored real-time
deepwater DST. During this operation, bi-directional acoustic commands were used
across the subsea safety system to operate the downhole test tools and actuate the fluid
samplers while providing real-time critical reservoir data and verification of downhole tool
functions to surface. By acquiring real-time data acoustically, the duration of well test
flow and pressure build-up periods were optimized and the need for acid stimulation
confirmed. This allowed for improved well productivity and the ability to evaluate post-
stimulation well performance. The enhanced flexibility and control provided by the
RezConnect Well Testing System resulted in rig time savings of five days.
