Founded in 1919, Halliburton is one of the world’s top oil field services companies. The company consists of two divisions: Drilling and Evaluation and Completion and Production. Drilling and Evaluation provides field and reservoir modeling, drilling, evaluation, and precise well-bore placement solutions that enable customers to model, measure, and optimize their well construction activities. Completion and Production delivers cementing, stimulation, intervention, and completion services. Halliburton has established oilfields from the North Sea to the Middle East, as well as in newer sites in Southeast Asia and Africa.
In March 2002, Halliburton announced plans to separate its two business groups, Halliburton's Energy Services Group, and KBR, the engineering and military contracts division. The company took KBR public in 2006 by offering a 20% stake in an IPO and later divested the rest, cutting all ties with the company in 2007.
The company made headlines in 2007 when it opened a corporate headquarters office in the United Arab Emirates, and relocated its CEO David Lesar to Dubai. Halliburton was able to create better Middle East relations in the oil industry while growing its business in the region. In 2008, the company offered $3.4 billion to acquire Expro International. Halliburton eventually withdrew the offer when Expro decided it wanted to go with another offer made by a group of private equity firms.
