Halliburton

Fifteen years. Two journeys. One global impact.

Ashira Jones, PHR, has shaped her career around opening doors for students and showing what it means to be . From her early work in university affairs to her current role supporting the educational advisory board and educational Relations, she continues to influence how students experience their first connection to industry.

In Brazil, Marco Amaral, MBA / CSCP, has followed a path defined by growth and learning. He began his Halliburton career as a supply chain specialist and now supports the business through project management. A standout moment was participating in Halliburton’s 100-year celebration, where his own career journey aligned with a milestone in company history.

Two careers. Two regions. Thirty years of shared progress, leadership, and lasting influence across Halliburton.

Eight years ago, Gerardo Camilo Guzman began his journey in Panama.

Today, as vice president of business development for Latin America, he leads regional strategies that help operators navigate complexity and unlock new value.

From basin development to evolving investment landscapes, his work centers on transforming challenges into scalable growth opportunities across the region.

How does that happen?
✅ Advancing development in high-potential basins such as Vaca Mu**ta
✅ Using integrated and performance-based models to maximize asset value
✅ Keeping safety and service quality at the core of every operation
✅ Applying digital solutions to enable smarter and more resilient operations

“Latin America is a diverse and dynamic region. Progress depends on experience, collaboration, and practical solutions that help operations perform more efficiently.”

Training builds capability. Experience builds confidence. People make it possible.

Baroid team members Dominic Alleyne and Gomattie Nandalall traveled from Guyana to Houston for hands-on technical training that expands skills and perspective. Their journeys show how learning connects regions, roles, and career stages.

From early career programs to lab and field assignments, their development is shaped by mentorship, disciplined work practices, and a strong focus on safety. Whether completing a multi-skills program or gaining first offshore experience, each step reinforces a solid technical foundation.

These moments matter. They influence how work is performed, how confidence is built, and how knowledge is shared between teams worldwide.

From oilfield roots to regional leadership. Meet Marina Samvelova ⤵️

Marina joined Halliburton nearly 20 years ago as an associated technical professional and has grown her career into a role supporting complex operations across the Caspian East region. Inspired by a multigenerational oilfield family, she built her path through continuous learning, mentorship, and a passion for empowering others.

Today, Marina fosters innovation by encouraging teams to challenge processes, collaborate across functions, and test new ideas in a supportive environment. She also brings an honest perspective to her work, balancing a demanding role with motherhood by focusing on what matters most and leading with intention.

Her journey reflects what it means to be , where growth, trust, and opportunity shape the Halliburton experience.

Progress in offshore development starts with early alignment and trusted ex*****on.

At Offshore Technology Conference Asia, discussions reinforced a shared priority: aligning on common objectives early to deliver stronger decisions and long-term value. Digital capabilities play a critical role in strengthening readiness and supporting disciplined ex*****on at scale.

Notable discussions and developments included:

• Customers underscored the importance of transparent communication to support consistent performance across offshore operations.

• Shannon Slocum, executive vice president and chief operating officer, shared leadership perspectives on decision-making in complex and demanding environments.

• A strategic collaboration was announced with PETRONAS and Valaris Limited to advance offshore development through integrated planning and high-quality ex*****on.

Additional momentum was reflected through industry recognition for advancements in drilling fluids and subsurface visualization. An MOU with Prime Energy further supports cost-effective deepwater exploration and development through delivery-focused collaboration.

Three days of real dialogue and tangible progress in Egypt.

From the booth to in-depth meetings, teams connected with operators, regulators, and industry leaders at EGYPES 2026. Conversations focused on onshore, shelf, and deepwater projects, with a shared goal of turning advanced technology into field-ready ex*****on.

Discussions spanned subsurface, well construction, completions, production, and digital solutions. Teams explored ways to improve well economics, extend asset life, and use data and automation to turn insight into action.
