Early Success - Realizing Value from aGlobal R5000 Software Upgrade at Shell

HOUSTON--(Business Wire)--
Landmark, a brand of Halliburton (NYSE:HAL), announced today that it had, in
partnership with Shell, completed the first of several critical deployments in
the global rollout of R5000 versions of Landmark software.

"With R5000, we offer many innovations, including improving multi-user
collaboration through OpenWorks software; adding new workflows, such as
pre-stack seismic data interpretation; and streamlining existing workflows,"
said Paul Koeller, vice president of Halliburton Software and Asset Solutions.
"Shell`s rollout of R5000 is one of the largest and most ambitious global
deployments of R5000. It has been a privilege to be involved in the partnership
and to share in their success."

Additional benefits of R5000 include the simplification in management of
cartographic and seismic data along with the ability to integrate proprietary
subsurface applications with vendor applications using a standard data format. A
standard global approach was taken when rolling out this project, including
common architecture, hardware, software applications and workflows to achieve
cost savings in IT infrastructure.

Shell began its production upgrade to the new R5000 versions of Landmark
software in the company`s Americas Region in April 2009. Today, all of Shell`s
asset teams in the United States and Brazil have been upgraded to the R5000
versions of Landmark`s software. Once complete, the R5000 deployment within
Shell will encompass 28 sites worldwide, including locations in Canada, Europe,
Africa, the Middle East and Asia Pacific.
