About Halliburton Company
About Halliburton Company
Halliburton's two operating segments — Completion and Production (C&P) and Drilling and Evaluation (D&E) — finished 2025 with operating margins of 17% and 15%, respectively, after total revenue declined 3% year-over-year. The company generated $2.9 billion in cash flows from operations in 2025, with the United States contributing 39% of consolidated revenue and no other single country exceeding 10%. Over 46,000 employees across 146 nationalities operated in more than 70 countries, with approximately 22% subject to collective bargaining agreements.
Halliburton generates service revenue tied to the energy capital expenditure cycle — when E&P companies increase drilling and completion activity, demand for C&P (cementing, stimulation, artificial lift, completion tools) and D&E (directional drilling, logging-while-drilling, formation evaluation, Landmark software) rises correspondingly. Hydraulic fracturing constitutes a significant portion of C&P revenue and is subject to potential federal and state legislation that could impose additional restrictions. Capital expenditures were maintained at approximately 6% of revenue in 2025, matching the company's stated target, with 2026 focus directed at the Zeus IQ electric fracturing platform, iCruise rotary steerable systems, and LOGIX automation. Raw materials — including proppants (primarily sand), chemicals, metals, and electronic components — are described as normally readily available, though market conditions can trigger supply constraints. Long-term, fixed-price integrated project management contracts for national oil companies carry additional cost over-run risk if customers provide inaccurate information or operate in politically unstable jurisdictions.

Regulatory risk for Halliburton concentrates in two distinct threads. Hydraulic fracturing — a significant portion of C&P revenue — faces potential federal, state, or local restrictions that could make it more difficult to complete oil and gas wells. Tariff policy adds cost uncertainty: in April 2025, the Trump Administration imposed a baseline 10% tariff on all imports plus additional reciprocal tariffs, many effective August 2025, with the U.S. Supreme Court reviewing the legality of certain measures as of early 2026. Existing sanctions against Venezuela, Russia, and other countries have already limited operations in those markets, and any expansion of trade restrictions may further constrain Halliburton's international revenue base.
