Segment performance revealed Completion and Production revenue at $3.2 billion, up 2% sequentially, driven by improved pressure pumping services and higher completion tool sales in the Western Hemisphere. However, operating income in this segment declined by 3% due to lower pricing for stimulation services in US Land.
Drilling and Evaluation segment revenue increased by 2% to $2.3 billion, supported by global drilling-related services growth. Operating income in this segment decreased by 11%, impacted by seasonal software sales roll-offs and increased startup costs.
Geographically, North America revenue remained flat at \(2.3 billion, with mixed activity across stimulation, fluid services, cementing, and artificial lift. International revenue rose 2% to \)3.3 billion, with notable growth in Latin America (9% increase) and Europe/Africa (6% increase), offset by a 4% decline in Middle East/Asia due to lower activity in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
Halliburton continues to invest in technology and innovation, highlighted by collaborations with Chevron on intelligent fracturing processes and Nabors Industries on automated drilling operations. The launch of EarthStar 3DX, the industry’s first 3D horizontal look-ahead resistivity service, underscores Halliburton’s commitment to advancing subsurface geological insights.
