Halliburton Soft Q3 Guide Weighs On Stock, UBS Says

Halliburton (HAL) delivered a "messy" Q2 update, with margin pressure in Q2, while the Q3 outlook came in 2% below market estimates, UBS said in a note Sunday.The miss was due to some temporary headwinds, including higher mobilization costs, which should roll off in Q4, the report said.Looking ahead, the note said North America activity should improve in H2 and into 2027, while recent Middle East contract wins and International growth should support long-term outlook.UBS kept its neutral rating while lowering its price target to $39 from $40.Price: $32.63, Change: $-0.73, Percent Change: -2.20%

Global Oil Prices Retreat as US-Iran Ceasefire Eases Supply Fears, TPH Says

Global oil prices pulled back from a spike late last week, as easing geopolitical tensions following a pause in direct US-Iran strikes outweighed fresh friction in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and ongoing disruptions to key Middle Eastern trade routes, according to TPH Energy Research in a Monday note.Matt Portillo, analyst at TPH Energy, said Brent crude futures hovered at about $88.20 per barrel, retreating from a peak of $96.80/bbl hit on Friday.The pullback follows optimism surrounding potential peace talks and indications that further immediate escalation has been averted.However, energy markets remain on edge. TPH analysts said that while US and Iranian officials have paused hostilities, Saudi-Houthi tensions escalated last week.The Houthis implemented a naval blockade in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, targeted two Saudi oil tankers, and launched strikes at Saudi oil infrastructure, which were successfully defended, following a retaliatory strike by Riyadh.Flows through key regional arteries remain complicated. Transits through the Strait of Hormuz are significantly depressed, and about 4 to 4.5 million barrels per day of Yanbu oil exports must be rerouted.TPH said two Chinese tankers laden with Saudi crude recently managed to transit the Strait, market participants are grappling with logistical bottlenecks, as fully laden Very Large Crude Carriers are unable to pass through the Suez Canal, forcing alternative routes that more than double transit times.Portillo said as the corporate earnings season kicks into gear, energy executives and investors are parsing industry results for deeper insights into the macroeconomic landscape across upstream and oilfield services sectors.On the oilfield services front, recent commentary from Halliburton (HAL) and Liberty Energy (LBRT) indicates that analyst expectations for pressure pumping price gains were overly optimistic, pointing instead to more modest growth.Meanwhile, upbeat commentary on deepwater markets from Halliburton and SLB (SLB) continues to reinforce a broader industry preference for international exposure over North American onshore Lower 48 plays.On the upstream gas front, early results from EQT (EQT), Range Resources (RRC), and Ovintiv (OVV) highlighted a growing focus on longer-term supply and demand dynamics through the coming decade.Though near-term market fundamentals face lingering headwinds looking toward 2027, long-only investor interest has begun to pick up.TPH analysts highlighted that both EQT and RRC have maintained a prudent stance on supply growth as new demand sources develop. A primary catalyst for outperformance last week was EQT's announcement of a 10-year supply agreement to power generation facilities, linked to PJM power market pricing rather than local in-basin benchmarks.Price: $32.58, Change: $-0.78, Percent Change: -2.35%

Halliburton's Outlook Improves as New Awards Build Momentum After Flat Q2, RBC Says

Halliburton's (HAL) outlook for the rest of the year is improving as international projects ramp up and North American markets tighten, RBC Capital Markets said Wednesday in a report.Underlying market conditions are strengthening, though the flat Q2 performance was "masked" by mobilization costs tied to recent contract wins and continued drag from the Middle East, the report said.Halliburton has secured multiple unconventional fracturing awards globally in recent months, including a multibillion-dollar deal with YPF (YPF) in Argentina and a new award with Aramco for Jafurah completion work starting in Q3, the report said.RBC lowered its EBITDA estimates by 2% to $4.18 billion for 2026 and $4.57 billion for 2027, and introduced a 2028 forecast of $4.97 billion, up 9% from a year earlier and below the market consensus of $5.07 billion.Still, RBC said it sees "solid value" in Halliburton shares on the brighter international and North American prospects.RBC maintained its outperform rating on Halliburton stock and its $45 price target.Price: $32.80, Change: $-0.39, Percent Change: -1.19%

Halliburton Reports Rise in Q2 Revenue

Halliburton (HAL), the Texas-based oilfield services major, on Tuesday reported Q2 revenue of $5.71 billion, up from $5.51 billion reported in the corresponding quarter last year.For the quarter ended June 30, the completion and production segment generated $3.20 billion in revenue, compared to $3.17 billion last year, the company said in its earnings statement.Revenue improvements in the segment were primarily driven by a rise in Western Hemisphere stimulation activity and an improvement in Asian well intervention services.The gains were capped by lower specialty chemicals activity in North America, a reduction in Latin American cementing activity, and lower activity across multiple product service lines in the Middle East, the company said.The drilling and evaluation segment accounted for revenue of $2.51 billion, up from $2.34 billion last year, supported by an increase in drilling-related services in North America, Europe/Africa, and Asia, and higher wireline activity in North America and Europe/Africa.In Q2, the company reported revenues of $1.3 billion from Middle East/Asia, 2% down sequentially, "primarily driven by lower activity across multiple product service lines in Kuwait, Iraq, and Qatar as a result of the ongoing geopolitical conflict in the Middle East."However, these losses were partially mitigated by higher well construction activity in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, and higher drilling-related and well intervention services in Asia, the company said.Earlier on Monday, the company said it has secured a contract from Iraq's Basra Oil Company to execute the development of the Bin Umar and Sindbad oil and gas fields in southern Iraq.The contract requires Halliburton to provide services related to integrated field management and engineering, procurement, and construction management, with the scope of work including field development planning, production optimization, digital solutions, and EPCM services for the two fields.Production from the Bin Umar field could reach 150,000 barrels of oil per day and 300 million standard cubic feet of associated gas in the first five-year development phase as per estimations from BOC, which is the owner, operator and decision-making authority for the two assets, the statement said.

Halliburton Deploys Automation System Offshore Indonesia, Reports Efficiency Boost

Oil service company Halliburton (HAL) has deployed its Logix automation and remote operations system at a deepwater exploration well in partnership with Eni (E), offshore Indonesia, boosting efficiency, it said on Thursday.The company said the deployment resulted in a number of industry firsts and advances closed loop drilling automation, with the system having demonstrated performance in a large-scale complex offshore environment.This was the first deployment of full rig automation with managed pressure drilling in Asia Pacific, Halliburton said in a statement. It combined rig surface equipment, automated well placement, downhole hydraulics and MPD controls into a connected, closed-loop automated system.The Logix Orchestration system coordinated the drilling and tripping execution in a single process. Normally the management of these processes would be handled separately, it said.The system's use delivered consistent performance and reliable pressure control in wells with narrow operating margins.Eni brought its operational expertise to the project while Halliburton contributed experience with automation solutions to align drill floor control, sub surface automation and pressure management in a single system, the statement said.There was a resulting 15% efficiency gain, Halliburton said.
