About Halliburton Company
Halliburton is North America's largest oilfield-services company by market share. Despite a fragmented industry, it holds a leading position in hydraulic fracturing and completions, which makes up nearly half of its revenue, along with strong positions in drilling and completions fluids, supported by its material science expertise, and in directional drilling. While SLB is considered the global leader in reservoir evaluation, Halliburton is viewed as the leader in activity from the reservoir to the wellbore.
