SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 2, 2014--
Two of Halliburton’s Indonesian facilities – Badak Base Camp and Batam –

Certification, an advanced industry certification standard for oil and
natural gas service companies. API recognized Halliburton at OSEA 2014

API Q2 is a 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 exceed current generic quality management system standards.
“This API Certification recognizes Halliburton’s commitment towards
flawless service execution to our customers,” Abdullah said. “API will
audit our operations every year, which will help us with sustainable
continuous improvement for our ‘journey
to ZERO’ on health, safety, environmental and service quality
incidents. Our operations in Malaysia and Brunei have also been
recommended for API Q2 certification.”
“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’s facilities in Indonesia on being the
first in the Eastern Hemisphere to earn this distinction.”
API Q2 was first published in December 2011. Halliburton was the first
company to achieve this standard when its Baroid drilling fluids and
waste management service line received the certification in July 2014
for its work in the Gulf of Mexico. Additional Halliburton operations
and service lines are working toward achieving the certification.
