Halliburton AS Acquires Norwegian Process Technology AS

Halliburton's (NYSE:HAL) Norwegian affiliate, Halliburton AS, has acquired the assets of Norwegian Process Technology (NPT) AS to support the increasing market demand for nitrogen services within the energy production and processing industries.

"This acquisition is aligned with our strategy to increase our presence in the Pipeline and Process Services market," said Jim Renfroe, senior vice president, Halliburton's Production Optimization Division.

Some services offered by NPT include handling, storage, transport and vaporization of cryogenic nitrogen. In addition, the company offers specialized leak testing, video inspection, nitrogen purging and drying services for hydrocarbon processing systems.
