Halliburton Cementing Services Production
The project is moving: core reference materials and edited site footage are in SharePoint, the interactive proof of concept is live, and the team is actively filling VR/lesson gaps. The main external blocker is still Halliburton CAD access because of third-party component non-disclosure concerns.
Executive Takeaway
- Production has real traction. The SharePoint project area has the client FTP backup, prepped reference materials, the Elite II manual, site visit materials, and edited synced multicam footage.
- The live proof of concept is the center of gravity. It maps flow paths, system logic, startup, priming, pre-job checks, calibrations, and an educational overlay for machine sections.
- VR implementation is being actively refined. Controls and lesson details are being resolved in-channel: binary valve levers, displacement water line naming, engine throttle behavior, hotspot/context-menu behavior, and mixer/tub visuals.
- The highest-risk dependency is CAD. Halliburton says CAD exists, but third-party component NDA concerns are slowing delivery. The recommended ask is a stripped exterior shell with internal or sensitive parts removed.
Current Readiness
- Client-facing prep: July 1 meeting slides are prepped; missing recurring pre-meets are being corrected for the remainder of the project.
- Content: Lessons 1 and 2 have enough coverage for walkthrough review, with known visual omissions rather than unknown scope holes.
- Collaboration: Devin, Rachel, Carl, River, Mary, and Brandon are coordinating details directly in the channel.
- Source coverage: This summary is based on the visible channel history from May 28 through Adam’s July 1 request.
Key Timeline
Client FTP backup, prepped project info, and Elite II manual were surfaced for the team.
Synced multicam procedure footage became available in the Phase 1 Site Visit area.
The live build mapped flow paths, logic, guided startup, priming, pre-job checks, and calibrations.
Throttle behavior, lesson review needs, hotspot/context menus, mixer/tub visuals, and valve labeling were worked through.
Halliburton has files, but third-party NDA concerns may require a shell/stripped model path.
The team noticed pre-meets were not recurring; Rachel said they will schedule the remainder and linked the client meeting slides.
Risks / Watch Items
- CAD availability: legal/NDA hesitation on third-party components could stall art fidelity and downstream VR build quality.
- Machine-detail confidence: some control behaviors are still being inferred from footage until definitive client answers arrive.
- Meeting hygiene: recurring pre-meets need to be scheduled so client-facing prep does not rely on last-minute Slack discovery.
- Visual completeness: mixer head, mixing tub, pipe details, and other explanatory geometry may need targeted additions for walkthrough clarity.
Recommended Next Moves
- Press Halliburton for a stripped exterior CAD shell with PCBs and third-party-sensitive internals removed.
- Lock the remaining recurring pre-meets and keep the client deck linked in-channel before each client call.
- Run Devin through Lesson 2 in-headset with Carl so VR gaps can be captured while the machine state and lesson intent are visible.
- Convert the open control assumptions into a small decision log covering binary valves, engine throttles, context/hotspot menus, and temporary naming conventions.
