HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 6, 2014--
Halliburton (NYSE: HAL) was recognized today by the
American Petroleum Institute (API) for its strong support and
contributions to the development of API Specification Q2, the advanced
industry certification standard for oil and natural gas service
providers.
API Spec Q2 is a risk-based quality management system that certifies oil
and gas equipment manufacturers for the safety, consistency and
interchangeability of their products. It focuses heavily on defect
prevention, waste reduction and reliability of services. Q2 was first
published in December 2011, and certification is now being offered.
Halliburton has been a strong and active supporter of Spec Q2. In
addition to helping develop the standard, Halliburton hosted two beta
audits, was the first company to go through a stage 1 audit in the Gulf
of Mexico and Indonesia, and was the first to apply for certification of
multiple facilities worldwide.
Jeff Miller, Halliburton’s executive vice president and chief operating
officer, accepted the honor on behalf of the company. “Halliburton is
proud to be a partner with API in the development of the Q2 standard.
The adoption of this standard will positively impact process safety
within our industry,” he said.
