Two of Halliburton’s Brazilian facilities – Macaé and Rio de
Janeiro – and nine of the company’s business lines located there
have received the American Petroleum Institute (API) Specification
Q2 Certification, an advanced industry certification standard for
oil and natural gas service companies. They are the first in Latin
America to receive the certification.
The business lines that achieved the certification are Baroid,
Cementing, Completion Tools, Drill Bits and Services, Production
Enhancement, Production Solutions, Sperry Drilling, Testing and
Subsea, and Wireline and Perforating.
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. It is the first international
standard that outlines fundamental, risk-based quality management
systems for oil and natural gas services companies. The
certification demonstrates an organization’s commitment to exceed
current generic quality management system standards.
“The API Spec Q2 Certification is a step change in the industry
and a recognition to Halliburton’s commitment to improve
operational efficiency with a flawless execution of our services,”
said Daniel Casale, country manager, Brazil for Halliburton.
“API Spec Q2 Certification has set the standard for the oil and
natural gas service providers around the globe,” said Gerardo Uría,
API’s acting Vice President for Global Industry Services. “API Spec
Q2 Certified Facilities operate under a stringent
quality-management system that helps minimize risks and contributes
to a safer operating environment for the industry. With the recent
certification of the Macaé and Rio de Janeiro facilities,
Halliburton continues to be a leader in the implementation of API
Spec Q2 and demonstrates its commitment to operational
integrity.”
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. Two of
Halliburton’s facilities in Indonesia were the first in the Eastern
Hemisphere to receive the certification.
