Halliburton broke ground in August at the construction site of its new Technology Center at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) Technology Park, located at Ilha do Fundão, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The groundbreaking represents a milestone in the Cooperation Agreement signed in 2010 between Halliburton and the UFRJ for the purpose of providing research and technology development projects in Brazil.
The new 7062 sq/m technology center will have three floors and include specialized laboratories, a collaboration room, a testing area, and conference and training rooms.
