Acquisition and new product service line
Marc Edwards, Halliburton's Senior Vice President of Completion and Production, said, "Optimizing economic production levels in both mature assets and unconventional gas resources requires increasing levels of pressure control and well intervention. The combination of Halliburton's global hydraulic workover and coiled tubing deployed technologies, together with Boots & Coots' well intervention and pressure control services will help us improve full life cycle returns for our customers. This is a natural addition to Halliburton's extensive completion and production enhancement portfolio, further enabling integrated project workflows with improved reservoir recoveries."
Following completion of the transaction, a new product service line within Halliburton will be created to include Halliburton's existing coiled tubing and hydraulic workover operations and Boots & Coots' intervention services and pressure control business. Boots & Coots' management will be retained to lead Halliburton's Boots & Coots product service line with operating results reported through Halliburton's Completion and Production reporting segment. Halliburton expects the acquisition to be accretive in the first full year of operation.
