BROWN & ROOT-MURPHY AWARDED PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION
CONTRACTS IN BOLIVIA AND BRAZIL
DALLAS, Texas -- Brown & Root-Murphy LLC, a joint venture equally owned by
Halliburton Company's (NYSE:HAL) Brown & Root Energy Services business unit and
Murphy Bros. Inc.'s Murphy Bros. International, has been awarded two pipeline
construction contracts in consortium with local partners as part of the
Bolivia-Brazil Gas Pipeline Project. The two contracts for Petrobras, Brazil's
state-owned oil and gas company, are valued at about $90 million and $110
million apiece.
The contract for Bolivia consists of the construction of 557 kilometers
(km) of 32-inch diameter pipeline from Rio Grande, Bolivia to the Bolivia-Brazil
border, near Puerto Aguirre, Bolivia. The consortium BRM-CPB, a venture between
Brown & Root- Murphy (70%) and Consorcio Petrolero Boliviano of Santa Cruz
Bolivia (30%), is scheduled to complete the project by December 1998.
The contract for Brazil consists of the engineering, design, project
management, procurement and construction of 522 km of 32- inch diameter pipeline
from the Bolivia-Brazil border near Corumba, to a point southeast of Campo
Grande, Brazil. The consortium Camargo Correa-Brown & Root-Murphy, equally owned
by Brown & Root-Murphy and Camargo Correa of Sao Paulo, Brazil, is scheduled to
complete the project by January 1999.
"We are extremely pleased to be involved in constructing 1,079 km out of
the total 1,815 km of Phase I for Bolivia-Brazil Pipeline Project," said Dave
Lesar, president and chief operation officer of Halliburton Company.
"Acquisition of these contracts establishes Brown & Root-Murphy as a major
player in the international pipeline construction arena."
In early 1996, Brown & Root Energy Services combined its international
project management and engineering skills with Murphy's onshore pipeline
construction expertise to seek international projects as a joint venture
activity.
