Landmark Receives Global Certification for Quality Customer Support

Company is the only oilfield-services provider to have received such certification

HOUSTON, TX (January 3, 2008) – Landmark, a product service line of Halliburton’s (NYSE: HAL) Drilling and Evaluation Division, today announced that its Customer Support organization has received global certification under the prestigious Service Capability & Performance (SCP) Standards, an internationally recognized quality program for technology service and support operations.

This is the tenth consecutive year that Landmark’s North American support operation has achieved SCP certification and the fifth consecutive year its global operations have met the stringent standards. The certifications are based on an extensive audit of Landmark’s worldwide technical-assistance centers.

A consortium of leading technology companies, along with Service Strategies Corporation, created the SCP Standards in order to improve the quality and effectiveness of technology service and support operations. The standards define best practices for delivering technology service and support, while also quantifying performance levels and establishing a foundation to build on existing quality processes. Certification requires comprehensive audits and annual recertification to confirm that companies continue to meet the requirements defined under the program.

“In an increasingly complex petroleum industry, oil and gas producers need more than just the latest technology; they also need strong support rounding out their technology solutions,” said Paul Koeller, vice president, Landmark. “Receiving SCP global certification is proof of our ongoing commitment to offer world-class support, bolstering our well established technology offerings and consulting services.”

“The SCP Standards represent the global benchmark for service quality at leading technology companies around the world,” said Greg Coleman, vice president of strategic programs for Service Strategies. “Landmark should be proud to be among the industry leaders in service excellence.”

Landmark, which is the only oilfield-services company to have achieved global SCP certification, joins the ranks of more than 200 technology service and support organizations around the world that participate in the SCP Standards program, including industry leaders such as EMC Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, McKesson Corporation, Network Appliance Incorporated, Nokia and Rockwell Automation – among others.
