Press Release

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 13, 2007--Landmark, a brand of Halliburton's (NYSE:HAL) Digital and Consulting Solutions division, today announced that it is developing a data-access adapter that uses the OpenSpirit(R) integration framework to connect the company's DecisionSpace(R) environment to OpenSpirit-enabled data stores.

The adapter will allow many of Landmark's software products to update, read and delete data from third-party data sources, including GeoFrame(R), Finder(R), PPDM(TM), Recall(TM), KINGDOM(TM), SDE(TM) and Petra(R) applications. It expects to offer the adapter in late 2007.

The OpenSpirit-enabled application adapter will serve as a complement to the DecisionSpace environment's existing integration benefits - extending connectivity to other vendors' data stores by allowing DecisionSpace to interface through the OpenSpirit integration framework.

The DecisionSpace environment allows Landmark's customers to run a variety of applications and databases side-by-side. The environment's powerful interoperability is tied to its data-access layer, which fluidly interconnects Landmark's applications and databases. This provides a number of benefits to E&P companies, including accelerated workflows, shortened cycle times and enhanced production. The OpenSpirit integration framework is a vendor-neutral integration solution that allows disparate vendors' applications and data stores to work together, providing geoscientists and data managers with out-of-the-box access to applications and data that are integral to the E&P decision-making process.

Landmark is developing the OpenSpirit adapter in response to the E&P industry's demand for open-standards software tools that can connect disparate systems.

"At Landmark, we understand that our customers' environments are comprised of solutions from multiple vendors," said Doug Meikle, vice president, Landmark. "By adding the OpenSpirit framework to the mix, we can help them preserve their IT investments and extract additional value from their existing data sources. It's a big advantage when it comes to multi-vendor integration and openness."

"The DecisionSpace environment excels at interoperability between multi-disciplinary Landmark applications and data stores, as well as integration with clients' in-house geotechnical environments," said Dan Piette, president and chief executive officer, OpenSpirit. "The OpenSpirit framework will help DecisionSpace application users better manage their complex workflows with the added flexibility to reach out to the other well, seismic, GIS and interpretation data stores that are in play within their organization."

OpenSpirit(R) software and trademark is used under license from OpenSpirit Corporation. GeoFrame(R), Finder(R), PPDM(TM), Recall(TM), KINGDOM(TM), SDE(TM) and Petra(TM) are trademarks of their respective owners.
