Halliburton, like peers, sees North American growth

摘要

Houston—Revved-up North American land drilling and a gradual lift in Eastern Hemisphere activity should help boost per-share earnings for giant oil services company Halliburton in the second quarter by 25% sequentially, with “even more increases after that,” the company’s CEO said Monday. While the Middle East/Asia segment should lead international growth, it was North America that Dave Lesar most enthused over during the company’s first-quarter earnings conference call, echoing comments from peer oil service giants Schlumberger and Baker Hughes last week.
