HOUSTON, Mar. 17 -- BP Amoco Sharjah has awarded a 2 year extension to Halliburton's Energy Services Group to continue underbalanced drilling services in BP's Sajaa field in Sharjah, UAE. Halliburton is facilitating the underbalanced portion with its four-phase separation system. BP recently applied underbalanced drilling in the completion of its tenth well in the field.

Hydrocarbon recovery in the field entails gas compression and reinjection and the pumping of condensate into the production line. Environmentally compatible solids and produced water are moved to dedicated land farms.

On the project, Halliburton is using a data acquisition and management system that gathers and processes data from all sources and presents them in a common format throughout its onsite SCAN network system.
