01/25/2006 - Upstream onLine - Oilfield services giant Halliburton has won a contract worth up to $100 million to supply a range of services at Russian joint-venture TNK-BP's Uvat field in the Tyumen region in Siberia. The three-year contract could also be extended for up to three one-year periods, Halliburton said. It said the work includes the provision of drilling fluids and drill bits, as well as waste management, cementing, directional drilling and logging services. The Uvat field lies between 600 and 800 kilometres north-east of the city of Tyumen. Halliburton said it would deploy new technology to minimise the impact of its activities in the environmentally sensitive area. It said four drilling rigs would start work in the second quarter of the year from three "super-pads" designed to lessen the environmental impact of drilling.
