Halliburton Deploys Pilot Fleet Of Compressed Natural Gas Light-Duty Trucks

Halliburton has announced the deployment of nearly 100 light-duty Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) trucks across several field locations in the U.S. The OEM's bi-fuel trucks were recently purchased as part of a pilot program to be rolled out throughout the Company’s U.S. operations.

"There is considerable focus across the industry to identify multiple ways to leverage this abundant, reliable, and cleaner burning source of energy in day-to-day operations," said Halliburton Western Hemisphere President Jim Brown. "The fleet of CNG vehicles is one more example where (our company) is leading among oil and gas services companies regarding the use of American natural gas."

The environmentally-friendly vehicles, when operating on CNG emit about 90 percent less emissions, and are estimated to save approximately $5,100 per truck in fuel cost annually.

The new CNG truck fleet will be assigned to fifteen U.S. locations across seven states including Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, California, Louisiana, Utah, and Pennsylvania.
