GRANDBASIN -- NEWLY ESTABLISHED AS A LANDMARK GRAPHICS COMPANY -
DELIVERS "PROOF POINT" FOR ITS APPLICATION AND DATA SERVICE PROVIDER OFFERINGS
- New technology capabilities to be demonstrated in the "real world"
at the AAPG Annual Symposium -
Dallas, Texas - Landmark Graphics Corporation, a wholly owned business unit of
Halliburton Company (NYSE: HAL), today announced that GrandBasin is now a
Landmark company. GrandBasin will operate with a high-degree of independence in
its business operations.
"GrandBasin is going to change the way the E&P industry works by enabling
knowledge workers to access the applications, data and information they need in
real time," added Dave Lesar, chairman, president and CEO of Halliburton. "This
has the potential to dramatically reduce operating costs while increasing
performance and profitability. With the full complement of innovative Landmark
technologies supporting them, as well as the freedom and flexibility to host
other third-party technologies, we believe that GrandBasin, as a Landmark
company, can provide the market's most flexible and complete customer solution."
"At Landmark, we are committed to being the real-time knowledge service
company within the upstream industry," stated John Gibson, president and CEO of
Landmark. "GrandBasin will play a key role as a vendor neutral provider in
helping our customers gain the benefits of real-time knowledge management
through the utilization of virtual applications, data and other information via
ASP (Application Service Provider) or DSP (Data Service Provider) delivery."

"You've seen a flurry of activities around GrandBasin in recent months, and
we're signaling the market to watch this space for even more to come. We believe
the industry is ready for a single-source, full-service provider of Web-enabled
applications, data and information," Gibson continued. "By providing E&P
customers with the ability to utilize the latest-industry-leading applications
of their choice - regardless of the vendor - in conjunction with the leading
data management technology and service offerings, GrandBasin is giving customers
the freedom to perform at their peak in a higher-return, low-overhead compute
environment. It's a significant phase shift in technology delivery, and early
adopters stand to gain the most from it."
As a proof point for its ability to deliver a range of Web-enabled
technologies, GrandBasin will be demonstrating the power and viability of its
ASP hosting solutions and services at the Annual AAPG Symposium being held in
Denver June 3-6, 2001. Applications being demonstrated at the event will, for
the first time, be powered by GrandBasin servers based in Houston and accessed
via commercially available networks. "We believe this is an industry first at a
major event like AAPG," stated John Willis, executive vice president of ASP
Solutions for GrandBasin. "It shows that GrandBasin is not just talking about
hosting high-powered E&P applications in the future, but we're delivering it
today with no performance loss, and in most cases, significant and measurable
performance gains. We have the technology, the consulting expertise and the
backing of the industry's leading technology vendor and alliance partners
standing behind our efforts, and our customers need to feel secure in the
knowledge that this really works - and it works well."
Arvid Qvanvik, executive vice president for the GrandBasin DSP Solutions
area - now called PetroBank(TM) - agrees and adds, "Customers are increasingly
looking for ways to enhance their business performance but are unsure how to
accomplish it. Our demonstrations at AAPG will prove that the e-enabled business
world has arrived, and E&P knowledge workers can benefit from anywhere, anytime
access to the applications, data and information they need to make informed

decisions in real time. At the same time, they are able to look for ways to
reduce their infrastructure overhead, improve performance, reduce downtime and
eliminate workflow inefficiencies. GrandBasin now has the industry-proven
solutions and services to help customers achieve those goals today in a flexible
and open way."
