Third quarter revenue for Halliburton Company was nearly 5 times what it was on the second quarter of the year.
The firm that was founded in Oklahoma and is now headquartered in Houston announced net income of $544 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2022.
This compares to net income for the second quarter of 2022 of $109 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, and the adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2022, excluding impairments and other charges, of $442 million, or $0.49 per diluted share.
Halliburton’s total revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was $5.4 billion compared to total revenue of $5.1 billion in the second quarter of 2022. Reported operating income was $846 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to reported operating income of $374 million and adjusted operating income of $718 million in the second quarter of 2022.
“Halliburton’s third quarter results demonstrate the strength of our strategy in action. Total company revenue grew 6% sequentially, as activity and pricing increased simultaneously in North America and International markets. Operating income grew 18% compared to adjusted operating income from the second quarter with strong margin performance in both divisions,” commented Jeff Miller, Chairman, President and CEO.
“In all markets, Halliburton’s strong financial results demonstrate the execution of our strategic priorities. I believe structural demand for more oil and gas supply will provide strong tailwinds for our business, and Halliburton is well-positioned to deliver improved profitability and increased returns for shareholders.
He attributed the outstanding earnings on the strategy to maximize value and cash flow in an extremely tight market.
Completion and Production
Completion and Production revenue in the third quarter of 2022 was $3.1 billion, an increase of $225 million, or 8%, when compared to the second quarter of 2022, while operating income was $583 million, an increase of $84 million, or 17%. These results were driven by increased pressure pumping services primarily in North America land, and increased completion tool sales in Middle East/Asia.
Drilling and Evaluation
Drilling and Evaluation revenue in the third quarter of 2022 was $2.2 billion, an increase of $58 million, or 3%, when compared to the second quarter of 2022, while operating income was $325 million, an increase of $39 million, or 14%. These results were due to improved drilling-related services in the Western Hemisphere and Middle East/Asia and increased project management activity and wireline services internationally. These improvements were partially offset by decreased drilling services in Norway, and decreased wireline services in the Gulf of Mexico.
North America
North America revenue in the third quarter of 2022 was $2.6 billion, a 9% increase when compared to the second quarter of 2022. This increase was primarily driven by increased pressure pumping services and drilling-related services in North America land. These increases were partially offset by decreased activity across multiple product service lines in the Gulf of Mexico.
International
International revenue in the third quarter of 2022 was $2.7 billion, a 3% increase when compared to the second quarter of 2022.
Latin America revenue in the third quarter of 2022 was $841 million, an 11% increase sequentially, due to increased well construction services and project management activity in Mexico and higher fluids and project management activity in Suriname. Partially offsetting these increases was lower project management activity in Colombia.
Europe/Africa revenue in the third quarter of 2022 was $639 million, an 11% decrease sequentially. Almost all of this reduction was related to exiting our Russia business along with decreased activity in the North Sea. These decreases were partially offset by increased well intervention services across the region.
Middle East/Asia revenue in the third quarter of 2022 was $1.2 billion, a 6% increase sequentially, primarily resulting from increased activity in Saudi Arabia, higher completion tool sales in Qatar, and increased drilling services in Indonesia and Malaysia. Partially offsetting these increases was lower activity in Vietnam.
