Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Pivoting capital and operational focus from North American shale to high-growth international and offshore markets, particularly in Latin America (Brazil, Guyana, Argentina) and the Middle East, to capture higher-margin projects and secure long-cycle revenues.
Expected impact: Aims to offset high-single-digit declines in North American land activity with mid-to-high single-digit international growth.
Integrating AI, IoT, and automation across the well lifecycle to improve drilling efficiency and real-time decision-making. Key technologies include the iCruise X intelligent drilling system and the Zeus IQ platform.
Expected impact: Expected to deliver up to a 15% margin uplift once digital service lines are fully deployed in the second half of 2026.
Repurposing core oil and gas subsea engineering, drilling, and grouting competencies to target the high-growth floating offshore wind foundation market, specifically through a scalable micropile anchoring solution.
Expected impact: Allows Halliburton to enter the renewables supply chain and capture share in a market projected to reach $15 billion by 2033.
