  • HALLIBURTON CO Profile

    Ah, that feels better. Oilfield services giant Halliburton is feeling a lot lighter now that it has divested its KBR engineering and military contracts division. The company made the move so it can concentrate on its own dream -- to be the largest oilfield services company in the world. Halliburton provides production optimization, drilling evaluation, fluid services, and oilfield drilling software and consulting. It combines tried and true well drilling and optimization techniques with high-tech analysis and modeling software and services. Halliburton works in established oilfields from the North Sea to the Middle East as well as in newer sites in Southeast Asia and Africa.
