Halliburton Company announced a successful installation of the industry's first single trip, electro-hydraulic wet connect in deepwater for Petrobras in Brazil – a significant achievement in downhole electric completion technology. The Halliburton Fuzion® EH electro-hydraulic downhole wet-mate connector helps increase well recovery factors by maintaining integrity of Halliburton's SmartWell® completion systems throughout the well's lifecycle. The Fuzion-EH connector helps further facilitate safer and simpler intervention operations and avoids potential formation damage because of workover operations.

Halliburton plans a future version of a dual trip system Fuzion-EH connector for qualification and implementation by Petrobras in 2023. This system will provide additional benefits in SmartWell system installations while maintaining the benefits of the single trip system. As a global completions leader, Halliburton has pioneered the development and deployment of SmartWell system technology for 25 years.

To date, Halliburton has installed almost 1,400 SmartWell systems globally and over 100 in Brazil, providing global customers control of more than 3,000 zonal intervals.
