Oil major Shell has executed an integrated services contract with U.S. oilfield services provider Halliburton for post-salt development and pre-salt exploration in Brazil’s Campos and Santos Basins.

Under the contract, which includes a three-year term with a two-year extension, Halliburton will provide drilling services to drive greater efficiency by integrating multiple product offerings and technologies, the oilfield services provider said on Wednesday.

“Our integrated services model is designed to help accelerate new field development, reduce drilling and completion costs and increase recovery through the utilization of our innovative technologies and basin insight,” said Anouar Fraija, vice president of Halliburton Brazil.
