  • Failure to Disclose but No Bias: the UKSC's Decision in Halliburton
    Debevoise In Depth Failure to Disclose but No Bias: The UKSC’s Decision in Halliburton Company (Appellant) v. Chubb Bermuda Insurance Ltd (Respondent) 14 December 2020 The UK Supreme Court unanimously upheld the Court of Appeal’s decision that arbitrators appointed in arbitrations seated in England have a legal duty to disclose subsequent appointments in other arbitrations where there is an overlap in parties and subject matter. The Supreme Court held that, in the present case, while the chair of the tribunal had breached this duty to disclose, the facts and circumstances did not call into question his impartiality. Halliburton’s appeal and its request that the chair be removed were dismissed. Background The dispute originates in the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil and gas rig in the Gulf of Mexico on 20 April 2010. Halliburton provided cementing and well-monitoring services on the rig, which was leased by BP and operated by Transocean. The U.S. government pursued each corporation for the devastating environmental damage caused by the incident. Halliburton settled with the government for US$1.1 billion, and subsequently sought to recover that sum from its insurer, Chubb. Chubb refused to pay out under the insurance policy—a Bermuda Form policy—on the basis that the settlement amount was unreasonable. The insurance policy was governed by New York law and provided that disputes were to be resolved by arbitration seated in London. Each party was allowed to appoint an arbitrator, with the chair of the tribunal to be agreed by the parties. The parties could not agree on a chair, so the High Court appointed Kenneth Rokison QC (referred to as “M” in the decisions of the High Court and Court of Appeal), whom Chubb had proposed.

  • Halliburton Awarded $300 Million Contract for Integrated Drilling and Formation Evaluation Services by Conocophillips
    Halliburton Awarded $300 Million Contract for Integrated Drilling and Formation Evaluation Services By ConocoPhillips May 3, 2004 HOUSTON & TANANGER, Norway, May 3, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Halliburton has been awarded a contract for 3 years by ConocoPhillips to provide integrated drilling services for their North Sea activities. The contract, awarded to Sperry-Sun includes two additional options up to 3 years each. The contract is one of the first awarded by ConocoPhillips covering all their North Sea operations. The value of the contract is estimated to be $130 million for the fixed 3-years duration, and includes the provision of directional drilling, measurement-while-drilling (MWD), logging-while-drilling (LWD), mud logging and surveying services. "Halliburton is very pleased to have been awarded this significant contract, which expands our important relationship with ConocoPhillips," said John Gibson, president and CEO Halliburton Energy Services Group. "We have invested people, time, and money to stay at the forefront of technology development and ensure a sustainable future, aimed at meeting our customers and their customers' future needs." Fundamental to this contract is the Geo-Pilot(R) system, Sperry-Sun's second-generation point-the-bit rotary steerable service that was designed in collaboration with JOGMEC (Japan Oil, Gas, and Metals National Corporation). The ability to remotely control the Geo-Pilot rotary steerable system has been successfully demonstrated from the ConocoPhillips Onshore Drilling Center (ODC). This is an important step towards integrated operations, allowing the directional driller to be based in the ODC and work closer with the subsurface teams. Technologies also significant to this contract include the Stellar(TM) MWD/LWD formation evaluation suite of sensors, which includes the BAT(TM) bi-modal acoustic tool, ALD(TM) azimuthal lithodensity sensor, CTN(TM) compensated thermal neutron sensor, and GeoTap(R) formation pressure tester.
