and gas industry throughout the lifecycle of the reservoir - from locating
hydrocarbons and managing geological data, to drilling and formation
evaluation, well construction and completion, and optimizing production
through the life of the field.

Halliburton works across the entire lifecycle of oil and gas reservoirs,
starting with exploration and development, moving through production,
operations, maintenance, conversion and refining, and finally to
infrastructure and abandonment.

Halliburton works in two major business segments:

Drilling and Evaluation
Completion and Production

These segments offer a broad array of products and services to upstream
oil and gas customers worldwide, ranging from integrated software and
services to drilling tools, logging, and perforating technology, from
manufacturing of drill bits and other down-hole and completion tools to
pressure pumping services.

The company is headquartered in Houston, Texas, where its Principal
Executive Office resides, and in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. With the
recent addition of a corporate headquarters office in Dubai, they join the
ranks of many major corporations with multiple centers of senior
management. Halliburton is a U.S. company incorporated in Delaware.
