Halliburton deploys ROCS technology with Petrobras in a deepwater completion operation in Brazil

· Issued by Halliburton Company

Summary by 6ix AI

Optime, a Halliburton service, completed the first deployment of its Optime Remote Operated Control System (ROCS) service in Brazil, working with Petrobras. Petrobras used the system to install a subsea smart completion, equipment that readies a well for production, on a deepwater well.

Key details

  • Halliburton says ROCS reduces equipment requirements and streamlines offshore work by removing the traditional control umbilicals (cables and lines run from the surface) used during completion operations.
  • Halliburton and Petrobras worked together on planning, system integration, testing and offshore execution to meet the project's technical requirements.
  • Halliburton says the project establishes a foundation for additional ROCS applications globally.

HOUSTON - Oct. 28, 2026 - Optime, a Halliburton service, completed the first deployment of the Optime Remote Operated Control System (ROCS) service in Brazil, in collaboration with Petrobras.

ROCS reduces equipment requirements and streamlines offshore execution through the elimination of traditional control umbilicals during completion operations. Petrobras used the system to install a subsea smart completion on a deepwater well.

Halliburton and Petrobras worked closely throughout planning, system integration, testing, and offshore execution to meet the project's technical requirements.

As operators develop increasingly complex deepwater resources, they seek technologies that simplify operations and improve execution efficiency. This project demonstrates how ROCS can reduce offshore complexity and provide a practical approach to subsea completion operations.

The project establishes a foundation for additional ROCS applications globally and demonstrates the value of remote-operated completion technology in complex offshore environments.
