About
Halliburton Company is a Houston, Texas-based oilfield services company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: HAL) as an S&P 500 Energy component — providing products and services for the exploration, development, and production of oil and natural gas through two segments: Completion and Production (hydraulic fracturing, cementing, artificial lift, wireline logging) and Drilling and Evaluation (drill bits, directional drilling, formation evaluation, well construction planning) through approximately 50,000 employees in 70+ countries. In fiscal year 2024, Halliburton reported revenues of $22.9 billion and adjusted operating income of $4.0 billion, with North America (the most important market — driven by US shale completions) generating $8.6 billion and international operations (Middle East, Latin America, Africa, Europe) generating $14.3 billion. CEO Jeff Miller has led Halliburton's return to strong profitability following the COVID-19 oil demand collapse with a disciplined capital-light model: rather than owning all completion equipment (pressure pumping fleets, cementing units), Halliburton has entered long-term customer partnerships where major E&P operators (Pioneer, EOG, Devon, ConocoPhillips) commit multi-year completion work to Halliburton in exchange for deployment priority and dedicated crew relationships — reducing equipment idle time and Halliburton's capital requirements while securing predictable activity levels. Halliburton's Zeus electric fracturing fleet (E-frac using natural gas-powered electric motors to drive frac pumps rather than diesel engines) reduces NOx emissions and fuel cost for US shale operators — achieving 40-50% fuel cost reduction that operators increasingly specify as a sustainability requirement.
