Note of Thanks to our Sponsors!
Dear valued Sponsor,
Time and again the question "why should I get involved?" or "why should I help?" arises. Demanding schedules often don't permit physical involvement, but by participating as a sponsor YOU help to make SPE Run For The Future happen. After expenses all proceeds from the race go directly to the SPE Canadian Section scholarship fund.
SPE Run For The Future 2006 is in its fourth year. Since our inception in 2003, we have donated more than $30,000 to post secondary educational scholarships. Our goal is to make 2006 the best yet as we hope to raise $20,000 to be donated.
One of the many improvements we have made to SPE Run For the Future is the addition of a 5 Miler. With this additional run, we are expecting to make great strides by appealing to an even larger group of runners among the many enthusiasts within our industry. .
We thank you again for your commitment, your support and encouragement. Together we continue to make SPE Run For The Future both a fun social event and the number one source of SPE Canadian Section scholarships.
Sincerest regards,
Melissa Gillard
Marketing Director
We thank our Platinum Sponsor, Halliburton
Canada observing 80 years with Halliburton - From Canada For Canada
For almost a century, Halliburton has made an indelible impression on the world. Founded in 1919, Halliburton is one of the world's largest providers of products and services to the petroleum and energy industries. From developing breakthrough technologies and constructing monumental infrastructure projects to managing logistics of military operations . Halliburton and our predecessor companies have been leaders in the energy services and engineering and construction (E&C) industries
Halliburton Energy Services Limited is celebrating the company's 80th anniversary in Canada. Throughout 2006, the company's Canadian locations will be holding special events to celebrate this occasion with employees, clients and local communities.
"We at Halliburton are very proud of our heritage and our contributions to the oil and gas communities across Canada," said Guy Tennant, regional Business Development and Marketing manager.
A history
In 1926, Erle P. Halliburton decided to expand his Halliburton Oil Well Cementing Company (HOWCO) into Canada as a personal enterprise. Making Canada its first international location, HOWCO set up business in Alberta. Erle's younger brothers, Paul and George Halliburton, arrived in Canada with two steam-powered pump trucks and hired two Canadian employees to help them run the new company, HOWCO Canada.
As the first oil well service company in Canada, the Halliburtons immediately began offering their new innovative cementing technology and services to the cable tool drillers of Alberta's fledgling oil and gas industry - first in Wainwright, then moving to the Turner Valley area of the province. In 1929, Paul and George decided to station HOWCO's new headquarters - Halliburton House and Garage - in the small town of Naphtha, about four miles south of present-day Black Diamond, making Halliburton a permanent fixture to Canada's oil and gas industry.
Throughout the Great Depression, Halliburton Oil Well Cementing Company maintained its presence with 11 rigs operating in Western Canada - making it never a question that Halliburton was there to stay. In the mid-'30s, when addressing a gathering of Canadian oil industry and community leaders, Erle P. Halliburton made his commitment to Canada, and was quoted as saying, "It is not my idea to just make money out of a country, but to develop its resources - and to raise the economic standards of its communities and people."
Halliburton House remained Canada's operating headquarters for HOWCO until offices were opened in Calgary, Alberta, in 1948. To this day, Halliburton's head office in Canada has remained in Calgary, spanning nearly 60 years of presence in the province.
"As we celebrate our 80th year as Canada's pioneer well servicing company, we can reflect on the many technological innovations and 'firsts' that HOWCO brought to the Canadian oil and gas industry," Tennant said. "Halliburton introduced the first string of drillstem testing in 1937, along with acidizing technologies and service, followed by the introduction of electric well logging in 1939. Bulk cementing operations were first introduced in 1948, and the first fracturing job was performed by Halliburton in Virden, Manitoba, in 1951. The new process later became responsible for the development of Pembina as a commercial oil field."
Present day
Halliburton Energy Services Limited has more than 2,000 employees in more than 20 service centers located throughout the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and Canadian East Coast.
Halliburton adds value through the entire life cycle of oil and gas reservoirs, providing and integrating products and services from exploration and development through production and operations, to infrastructure and abandonment. Halliburton's four divisions include:
- Halliburton Digital and Consulting Solutions - which locates and manages hydrocarbons - consists of Landmark software, GeoGraphix software, Landmark Consulting and Services, and Halliburton Project Management.
- Drilling and Formation Evaluation creates and evaluates hydrocarbons and is made up of Sperry Drilling Services, Security DBS Drill Bits and Halliburton Logging Services.
- Fluid Systems creates infrastructure to flow fluids and consists of Halliburton Cementing and Baroid Fluid Services.
- Production Optimization optimizes hydrocarbon production and consists of Halliburton Production Enhancement, Halliburton Completion Tools, Halliburton Sand Control, Halliburton Well Intervention, Halliburton Stimulation and Halliburton Reservoir Performance.
Halliburton provides a full range of services that enable the integration of processes, people and workflows through the entire drilling process, from concept and design to completion. Halliburton is leading the way to an increasingly digital oil field - recognizing that even the smallest changes can make a tremendous difference.
"A company's future often reflects its past. With a past as rich and rewarding as that of Halliburton Energy Services Limited, the future is definitely very promising in Canada," Tennant concluded.
