Boots & Coots, a Halliburton business line, has enhanced its pressure control offerings with the acquisition of Old School Services LLC. The acquisition gives Halliburton the resources to provide operators with the through-tubing equipment required to resolve production challenges faced by the rapidly growing unconventionals, horizontal drilling and multistage completions markets.

Through-tubing – or “thru-tubing” – equipment and services are vital to the well completion process. They provide methods for removing objects or debris from the wellbore to enable well production, and they offer innovative solutions that allow increased operating depths in the well. OSS has a broad selection of specialty tools for fishing, milling, cleanout, and tubing-conveyed perforating services that complement the well intervention services provided by Boots & Coots.

“Bringing OSS into the Boots & Coots business line creates one of the safest, most experienced and most reliable pressure control offerings in the industry,” said Dee Edwards, vice president of Boots & Coots. “As we expand this service worldwide, our customers will benefit from the most complete suite of pressure control services to help them safely manage and maintain the effectiveness and reliability of their operations.”
