Company is first to achieve prestigious certification for quality
management system
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 10, 2014--
Halliburton's Baroid
drilling fluids and waste management service line has received the
American Petroleum Institute (API) Specification Q2 Certification – an
advanced industry certification standard for oil and natural gas service
companies – for its work in the Gulf of Mexico.
API Q2 is a new, risk-based quality management system approach that
focuses on competency, service design, contingency planning, supply
chain controls, preventive maintenance, inspection, service quality
plans and management of change. The certification demonstrates an
organization’s commitment to go above and beyond current generic quality
management system standards.
“The achievement of API Q2 Certification is a testament to Halliburton’s
commitment to consistent processes, improved safety and superior service
quality,” said Jeff Miller, Halliburton’s executive vice president and
chief operating officer. “Halliburton has been a strong and active
supporter of API Q2 from the beginning and is pleased to be the first in
the world to achieve this important standard.”
“Q2 Certification is the new standard of excellence for oil and natural
gas service providers,” said John Modine, API’s vice president for
Global Industry Services. “Facilities applying for certification undergo
extensive audits for their safety practices and the quality of their
work. We congratulate Halliburton on being the first to earn this
distinction.”
API Q2 was first published in December 2011. Additional Halliburton
business lines are working toward achieving the certification.
