Can you name what Haliburton actually does?

Past that, can you name another company that also does what Haliburton does?

Can you name a company that's better then Haliburton at what they do?



Most people can't get past the first one.

Halliburton Products & Services Limited

"Principal activity in Iran occurs through the operations of Halliburton Products & Services, Limited, a Cayman Islands company, headquartered in Dubai, U.A.E. (hereinafter HPSL). HPSL performs between $30 and $40 million annually in oilfield service work in Iran, consisting of cementing, completions work, downhole tools and well testing, stimulation services, PDC drilling bits, coring bits, fluids logging and the provision of drilling fluids. "


"HPSL's activities are parallel to, and competitive with the activities of the foreign affiliates of Schlumberger, Baker-Hughes, Smith International; Weatherford; ABB Vetco Gray, FMC, Cooper-Cameron; as well as those of other U.S. and foreign competitors"

saying one of these companies is better than the other would be outside my realm of knowledge. Suffice it to say Halliburton profits from Iran even though they aren't allowed to directly control/operate there.

"The operation is profitable, and as shown in the chart, revenues are increasing generally across the board"

Halliburton is the parent company of a myriad of companies. They do oil exploration, well workover services, construction and now thru their KBR division, food service and logistics. Probably a bunch of other stuff that I'm not aware of.

If they are not breaking the law were is the problem.  All they are doing is work that helps provide energy.

In addition if you'd read the article wich you obviously did not they did not make a profit they were taking a loss.

again what an evil corporation.

Yeah they are not breaking the law they are circumventing it. This is another one of those things that is "legal" but if your momma caught you doing the same thing she'd took a belt to ya.

you got it.

As far as sanctions not working that is why we need to work more on shutting down all this outsider junk. If its a subsidary the main company should still be held accountable for what they do. After all they make a profit from them.
