For almost a century, Halliburton has made an indelible impression on the world. From developing breakthrough technologies and constructing monumental infrastructure projects to managing logistics for military operations, Halliburton and our predecessor companies have been leaders in the energy services and engineering and construction (E&C) industries.
Halliburton has expanded through internal growth and acquisition since it was established in 1919. Major purchases include Brown & Root, an engineering and construction company, in 1962 and Dresser Industries, a major provider of integrated services and project management for the oil industry, in 1998. Dresser had acquired M.W. Kellogg, a leader in petroleum refining and petrochemical processing, technology, engineering and construction, in 1988.
In 1998, Halliburton merged with Dresser Industries, a major provider of integrated services and project management for the oil and gas industry. Founded by inventor-entrepreneur Solomon R. Dresser in 1880, Dresser Industries evolved over the next 100 years into a major energy industry provider.
With the Dresser merger, Halliburton also gained the expertise of M.W. Kellogg, which Dresser acquired in 1988. Kellogg was founded by Morris W. Kellogg as a pipe fabrication business in 1900. The company created technology for petroleum refining and petrochemical processing and built plants based on those technologies.
Since the merger with Dresser, Halliburton’s worldwide revenues have increased significantly, reaching $13 billion in 2001. We have integrated Dresser’s well-known and respected brands such as Sperry-Sun Drilling Services, Baroid Drilling Fluids and Security DBS, and divested the Dresser Equipment Group.

Per trattare la questione “Halliburton” ci vorrebbero migliaia di pagine.
Qui mi sono limitato a dare qualche spunto per la riflessione in ognuno di voi.
La rete è piena di documenti sulle schifezze perpetrate da questa compagnia petrolifera, i cui fatturati sono aumentati esponenzialmente grazie alla guerra in Iraq.
Dedicheremo certamente altro spazio a questo tema in futuro.
Stay tuned.
So, Halliburton are the spawn of the Devil? And this is news? People have known this from working with them in the oilfield for the last several generations. Nice misuse of statistics & graphs though – I’ll pass that on to my Boss, who has actually had the displeasure of working at Halliburton.
