2021

In 2021, Halliburton earned the majority of our  
revenue internationally. We reset our earnings power 
and improved margins in several key end markets.

Halliburton generated over $1.3 billion of free cash flow* 
in 2021, demonstrating our ability to generate strong 
free cash flow in different business environments.

Halliburton has strengthened our balance sheet, 
reducing gross debt by $1.2 billion during the 
pandemic, with another $600 million reduction 
in the first quarter of 2022.

*  Management believes that free cash flow, defined as operating cash flows less capital expenditures, plus proceeds from sale of equipment, is an important liquidity measure 

that is useful to investors and management for assessing the company’s ability to generate cash.

also allows us to make meaningful progress on the 
objectives we describe throughout this report.

As this multi-year upcycle accelerates, we will use our 
international strength and leadership position in North 
America to deliver profitable growth and industry-leading 
returns. We will also build on the tangible progress we 
made in 2021 toward achieving our 40% reduction in 
Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2035 from our 2018 baseline. 
And, as ever, we remain well positioned to support our 
customers through the energy transition as a leader in 
technology and innovation. 

Deliver Profitable Growth 
Internationally 

Throughout 2021, and despite global supply chain 
challenges, we served customers in more than 70 
countries. In doing so, we allocated capital to the highest 
returns opportunities, increased international revenue 
and margins every quarter, and brought new drilling and 
formation evaluation technologies to the international 
markets. We also scaled our artificial lift business in 
the Middle East and continued construction of our new 
specialty chemicals plant in Saudi Arabia. We expect our 
international accomplishments in 2021 to set us up for 
continued profitable growth in 2022.

Maximize Cash Flow  
in North America

As the only fully integrated oilfield services company 
in North America, our strategy is to maximize cash flow 
in this structurally changed market, which remains 
the largest oil and gas services market in the world. 
Halliburton’s North American business in 2021 benefited 
from meaningful operating leverage we created early in 
the pandemic and expanded margins as customer activity 
accelerated across basins. We also have the right type of 
equipment for this market. We are the leaders in the high-
demand, low-emissions equipment segment with our Tier 
4 dual-fuel and electric fracturing solutions. As you will 
read in this report, our proven Zeus™ e-frac solution helps 
customers reduce their carbon footprint and provides 
unprecedented operational control and precision.

The Halliburton 2021 Annual & Sustainability 
Report highlights our execution on each of our 
strategic priorities and how we will accelerate 
into the multi-year energy upcycle. In 2021, 
we delivered profitable international growth, 
maximized cash flow in North America, deployed 
new digital and automation technology while 
we increased capital efficiency, and advanced a 
sustainable energy future. We did so through a 
transition year that witnessed a world reopening 
from the pandemic and an oil and gas demand 
recovery accelerating across the globe.

We owe our 2021 success to the work of our global team of 
more than 40,000 Halliburton employees. They delivered 
solid execution across every part of our business — 
safety, service quality, and financial results. You will read 
about that execution throughout this report. Despite the 
challenges of working during a pandemic with increasing 
complexity in global energy demand, they outperformed 
and delivered what the world requires — affordable 
and reliable energy that oil and gas provides — in a 
safe, efficient, and ethical manner while minimizing our 
environmental impact. Our 2021 financial performance 
demonstrates that aligning our actions with our strategic 
priorities allows us to accelerate cash flow generation, 
strengthen our balance sheet, and increase cash returns 
to shareholders. This execution on our strategic priorities

Introduction

Accelerate Digital and Automation

We advance digitalization and automation in all aspects 
of our business. In 2021, Halliburton 4.0 — our digital 
approach — accelerated the deployment and integration 
of digital and automation technologies within our own 
and our customers’ operations. As a result of increased 
digital adoption, we benefit from more intelligent, remote, 
autonomous, and environmentally friendly operations.  
We showcase these advancements in this report.

Increase Capital Efficiency

Halliburton focuses on driving capital efficiency across the 
balance sheet. This is consistent with our goal to deliver 
significant free cash flow to shareholders. Research and 
development and process changes allow us to build tools 
cheaper, lengthen their run life, and move assets to where 
they make the best returns. Capital efficiency also allows 
for our many investments in health and safety, employees, 
diversity, equity, and inclusion, and the communities in 
which we operate.

Advance a Sustainable 
Energy Future

Finally, our strategy is to advance a sustainable energy 
future. Our cycle of innovation includes sustainability, 
and Halliburton’s global resources, leading engineering, 
scientific and technical expertise, and more than a 
century of experience provide our customers with the 
efficient and innovative tools and services to minimize the 
environmental impact of their oil and gas operations. This 
report contains many examples of technologies that help 

our oil and gas customers decarbonize their 
legacy production base, reduce water consumption, 
produce less waste, and enhance efficiencies to 
improve project economics. 

At the same time, we are on a parallel path to use our 
existing technologies in renewable energy applications. 
This report highlights how Halliburton employs our 
technology in those adjacent markets.

2021 was the first full year of Halliburton Labs, our clean 
energy accelerator. We have 12 participating companies, 
each of whom have access to our collaborative 
environment in which entrepreneurs, academics, and 
investors work together to advance cleaner and more 
affordable energy. Through Halliburton Labs, companies 
benefit from Halliburton’s more than 100 years of 
industrial capabilities, technical expertise, and culture 
of teamwork and mentorship. Through their work at 
Halliburton Labs, we — and our participating companies — 
plan to achieve results that make a significant impact on 
clean energy’s future.

Into the Future

2022 and beyond present enormous opportunity as 
the multi-year upcycle unfolds. We approach the future 
with enthusiasm and resolve to execute on our value 
proposition: we collaborate and engineer solutions to 
maximize asset value for our customers. We are  
confident that our focus on technology differentiation, 
digital adoption, and capital efficiency positions us for 
profitable growth internationally and maximizing value  
in North America.

Introduction

Halliburton will evolve as energy evolves. 2021 
demonstrated that to advance everywhere for everyone, 
the world will require oil and gas long into the future, even 
as it transitions to additional energy sources and builds 
out required value chains. Halliburton’s core competencies 
and service excellence will play an important role 
regardless of the energy source called upon to deliver the 
future of energy. 

A bold vision of the future requires a steadfast, focused, 
and technologically advanced energy supply and 
Halliburton stands ready to deliver. As we move forward, 
Halliburton will continue to work with our customers to 
provide reliable, affordable energy to all people around the 
world — whether in emerging or established economies.

In closing, we thank our employees, our Board of Directors, 
and our shareholders for the important role each of you 
play in our success. Halliburton managed the transition 
from a global pandemic to the next energy upcycle 
because of the hard work of our employees, who deliver 
on our core values of integrity, safety, respect, creativity, 
and reliability every day. We look to the future with 
optimism and are well on our way to deliver strong free 
cash flow and returns for our shareholders.

Materiality-Based 
Approach

We continue to have open, frank dialogue with our stakeholders, including our shareholders, about environmental, social, 
and governance topics. Feedback from our investors, customers, workforce, and ESG rating organizations, among others, 
reassured us that we are focused on the right priorities, which is why there are no new changes to our ESG materiality 
matrix this year. 

This materiality matrix shows 
the relative weight of different 
topics from two perspectives. 
The X-axis shows how 
important the industry 
considers an issue, and 
the Y-axis shows the 
topic’s importance to  
our stakeholders. 

Our work this past year 
represented a continuation of 
the priorities we established 
in 2020, and we are confident 
in our progress toward the 
sustainability commitments of 
each material topic, as seen in 
the next table and highlighted 
throughout this report.

Engagement

Halliburton maintains regular communications 
in all relationships to ensure that our Board 
of Directors and our management receive 
valuable input about our business performance, 
strategic priorities, and initiatives. In these 
discussions, we use our Listen and Respond 
mainstay as a guiding principle. To support our 
outreach efforts and further our commitment 
to transparency, we invested in a new, robust 
website that we regularly update to share 
important information with our shareholders, 
customers, employees, and others.

Shareholders

Halliburton values ongoing, open shareholder dialogue to 
ensure that the Board and management have a regular pulse 
on investors’ views. This dialogue also provides valuable 
feedback on how we can continue to improve.

Following our 2021 Annual Meeting, the Board 
recommitted to more active shareholder engagement.  
We enhanced shareholder communications, refreshed our 
shareholder presentation, opened additional availability 
for director video calls, and listened and responded to 
shareholders about possible changes to governance and 
executive compensation. 

In 2021, independent Board members offered and held 
off-season meetings with stewardship representatives 
from our top shareholders to gain a better understanding 
of their priorities and concerns prior to the proxy voting 
season. We offered these meetings to 34 of our top 
shareholders representing approximately 60% of our 
shares. Each received the opportunity to meet with Board 
members by video conference. For those unable to attend, 
we sent our refreshed shareholder presentation to each 
and offered follow-up. The updated materials highlighted 
the latest information about our Board oversight and 
corporate governance; executive compensation program; 
health, safety, and environment (HSE) performance 
and strategies; diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) 
performance and strategies; and our approach to energy 
transition. After receiving these new materials, additional 
shareholders accepted the offer to meet.

During off-season engagement, Board members and 
management conducted video conferences with 18 
shareholders representing about 40% of our shares 
and with the two largest proxy advisors, Institutional 
Shareholder Services Inc. (ISS) and Glass Lewis. These 
included video conferences with Murry Gerber, Chair of 
the Compensation Committee, or Robert Malone, Lead 
Independent Director, and senior management.

This off-season investor engagement program was in 
addition to routine solicitation of shareholder feedback 
coincident with annual and quarterly reporting, earnings 
conference calls, and investor meetings. Also, our senior 
management and Investor Relations team regularly hold 
meetings and conference calls with analysts, institutional 
investors, and ESG rating firms, among others. In 2021, 
Halliburton participated in 13 sell-side conferences, three 
non-deal roadshows, and approximately 300 investor 
meetings that are all part of our ongoing shareholder 
outreach cadence. 

Our senior management and directors presented 
shareholder feedback to the full Board of Directors for 
discussion. As a result of these engagements and Board 
consideration of investor feedback, we made changes 
discussed in this report, including our enhanced Board 
governance and 2022 annual executive incentive plan. 
(For more information about changes to our executive

Customers

Our business development team and product service lines 
(PSLs) meet regularly with our customers to understand 
their requirements and concerns, including sustainability 
topics. This input is critical to the investments that 
we make in research and development (R&D) for new 
products and services, and to improve existing solutions. 
To help our customers in their transitions to a lower-
carbon future, we work with them to provide solutions and 
services that reduce their emissions.

Employees

With a diverse employee population representing multiple nationalities, we 
maintain regular employee engagement through a range of initiatives, including 
personal Check-Ins (Halliburton’s informal performance-management process), 
workshops, townhall meetings, performance feedback, employee resource 
groups (ERGs), and our biannual Employee Pulse Survey (EPS). These activities 
lead to an inclusive workplace in which employees feel their voices are heard no 
matter where they work. For more information about the EPS and the results of 
our August 2021 survey, which yielded our highest-ever response rate, please 
refer to Chapter S4 on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) in this report. We 
use the information gleaned from this outreach to improve our workplace. 

Suppliers

As a global provider of oil and gas services, we work with suppliers from all  
over the world and cultivate mutually beneficial, long-term relationships.  
We obtain feedback and ensure collaboration with suppliers on important 
matters, such as worker health and safety procedures, human rights 
compliance, and reduction of environmental impacts. Our communications  
with suppliers include meetings, workshops, and training sessions. 

Regulators

We engage with government agencies and regulators that are responsible for 
developing regulatory standards that aim to protect the environmental, social, 
and economic fabric of the countries in which we operate. Our Halliburton 
Government Affairs group works alongside local operations management, 
government officials, and policymakers to provide in-depth information on our 
business; educate them on our technologies and products; and collaborate on 
issues that are important to our customers, employees, and other stakeholders. 
Government officials and policymakers often seek out our knowledge and 
experience on energy-related topics. Additionally, Halliburton supports foreign 
service offices, consulates, and embassies around the world as a technology and 
local content resource. 

Local Communities and Non-Governmental 
Organizations (NGOs)

To support the global communities in which we live and work, we meet with 
community groups, nonprofit organizations, and NGOs to better understand 
their requirements and concerns. We give back to our communities through 
volunteer programs focused on environmental cleanup and awareness, 
education, health and safety, and social services. We also support community 
organizations through corporate donations and from our charitable 
foundations. Through these activities, we assist the economic and social 
well-being of our communities.

Board Experience and Diversity 
(continued)

The Halliburton Board evaluates representative diversity 
when we consider the overall composition of our Board 
and its committees. This means we consider our key 
stakeholders such as our customers and suppliers, but 
also — importantly — our own workforce, which we believe 
to be one of the most diverse in the world, as it represents 
more than 70 countries and 130 nationalities. Following the 
addition of new board members in February 2022, more 
than half of our 12 directors are women or represent racial/
ethnic minorities.

Halliburton announced the addition of Tobi Young 

and Earl Cummings to our Board of Directors. 

They bring a wealth of experience that includes 

leading roles in the private and public sector, 

entrepreneurship, technology, and governance.  

In addition, their wide-ranging roles and experience 

bring important perspective to our Board.

ESG Oversight Enhancements

Based on our commitment to provide thorough oversight of  
ESG risks, opportunities, and strategy, the Halliburton Board 
of Directors conducted a detailed analysis of our Board 
structure in 2021. We performed an extensive review of 
other Board structures and consulted with our shareholders 
and leading experts. The analysis found that our Board 
structure and oversight provide a leading model for good 
governance. Through the review, we also identified an 
opportunity for Halliburton to dedicate a committee to 
oversee ESG and elevated the Nominating and Corporate 
Governance Committee for oversight of these issues. 
Although the Nominating and Corporate Governance 
Committee oversees ESG, each committee is responsible 
for different aspects of ESG, as outlined in each respective 
charter. The Board sharpened its overall ESG oversight of 
the Company by focusing more time on these matters in 
both committee and full Board meetings, as well as in our 
engagements with Halliburton’s shareholders. By engaging 
regularly with shareholders and other outside experts to 
discuss sustainability topics, the Board can more effectively 
prioritize relevant ESG issues within our overall corporate 
strategy. During outreach, our shareholders endorsed this 
oversight structure and other governance enhancements.

Below are the primary oversight responsibilities of our 
Board’s committees, with newly expanded or clarified

Energy Demand and Climate 
Initiatives

This year demonstrated that demand for oil and gas 
will remain steady into the future while the transition to 
using alternative energy sources takes place in parallel. 
Halliburton and our customers play an active role in the 
transition to a lower-carbon future. 

In 2021, under the guidance of our Board of Directors, we 
continued our steady march forward in meeting the goals 
to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 40% by 2035 from 
our baseline year of 2018. We quantified and executed on 
opportunities to reduce emissions, and we are on track 
to meet our reduction targets. We also completed our 
climate risk scenario analysis, aligned with the Task Force 
on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD), which we 
discuss in more detail in Chapter E1 on Climate Change 
and Emissions Reduction in this report. To learn more 
about our sustainable technologies and the clean energy 
innovations that are underway at Halliburton Labs, 
please visit Chapter E3 on Sustainable Energy Evolution in 
this report.

For more information on our approach to 
climate change and our emissions reduction 
targets, please visit our Climate Change 
Statement on our website.

Executive Compensation

We integrate our executive compensation programs within 
our overall business strategy and management processes 
to incentivize performance, maximize returns, and build 
shareholder value. The majority of our total compensation  
is performance based, at risk, and long term. We combine 
financial and strategic metrics in our annual incentive 
plan, and we include relative performance measures in our 
long-term incentive plan. 

As a result of our Listen and Respond shareholder 
outreach effort, and with the endorsement of our 
shareholders, we amended our annual incentive plan 
to include ESG-related metrics focused on greenhouse 
gas (GHG) emissions and DE&I — two of our main areas 
of focus. ESG-related metrics will comprise 20% of the 
total award, with achievement of specific financial goals 
comprising 80% of the total award. These changes are 
effective January 1, 2022.

Enterprise Risk 
Management

Halliburton takes a consistent, systematic, 
and integrated approach to our Enterprise Risk 
Management (ERM) program, which our Board 
of Directors oversees. Designed to identify, 
mitigate, and manage enterprise-level risks  
to our organization, our ERM assessment 
process includes a review of items that may 
impact company strategy, business continuity, 
and crisis management — among other  
strategic risks to the Company. 

Our Risk Management 
Sustainability Commitments

• 

 Streamline risk categories, risk identification, and 

risk management to ensure best alignment with 

Halliburton strategy and place a critical focus on 

what matters most. 

• 

 Enhance cross-functional visibility to and 

collaboration among key stakeholders throughout 

the organization to ensure consistency, uniformity, 

and a strategic approach to risk assessment, 

identification, and mitigation.

2021 HIGHLIGHTS

Enhancements to Risk Controls

Global IT Infrastructure 

Through our risk assessment process, we continually review 
our risks to ensure that the Company focuses on those with 
the greatest potential impact to our organization. We embed 
any identified risks into our strategic planning for the  
years ahead.

In 2021, as part of the risk identification phase of our 
assessment, our ERM group surveyed a broad group of 
more than 190 leaders representing different parts of the 
Company around the world and interviewed 29 senior-
level, strategic leaders. We reported the findings to the 
Board of Directors’ Audit Committee, as well as to leaders 
who manage a part of the organization with an  
identified risk.

Halliburton is on a strong path to advance our digital 
capabilities — doing so will allow us to reduce capital 
expenditures, enhance security, speed delivery, and 
improve service quality (SQ). A shift is underway to 
transfer applications and data from our physical data 
centers into a cloud-based digital platform while retaining 
a smaller number of network hubs that ensure secure 
access to cloud resources. When we complete this 
initiative, our physical footprint contained within these 
network hubs will decrease by 77% from 2020. Last year, 
our team transferred significant amounts of our computer 
and storage workload to the cloud and are on target 
to complete all scheduled moves by the third quarter 
of 2022.

Cybersecurity 

The frequency and sophistication of global attacks on 
corporate IT systems containing sensitive information 
have increased. Halliburton takes each threat seriously 
and dedicates significant resources to protect our IT 
systems and data, in alignment with industry security 
standards, such as the International Organization for 
Standardization (ISO) 27001 and the National Institute of 
Standards and Technology (NIST) 800-53. In response, 
our Board of Directors now receives quarterly updates on 
cybersecurity matters, and our Audit Committee receives 
an annual, in-depth review.

The Landmark iEnergy® platform completed a System 
and Organization Controls (SOC 2) Type 1 audit for security 
and availability. An SOC 2 Type 1 audit evaluates and 
certifies design effectiveness of IT system controls. 
The platform is currently undergoing an SOC 2 Type 
2 audit, which certifies that controls are in place and 
working as designed.

Halliburton employees share their 

knowledge and contribute to many 

industry organizations. In 2021, 

our Chief Information Security 

Officer served as board member 

and treasurer for the Oil and 

Natural Gas Information Sharing 

and Analysis Center (ONG-ISAC), an 

organization that shares intelligence 

on cybersecurity incidents, threats, 

vulnerabilities, and best practices to 

improve security measures within 

companies throughout our industry.

20

Halliburton subscribes to best-practice design 
philosophies for IT systems that include “zero trust,” which 
uses techniques such as: 

•   Multi-factor authentication to verify the credentials of 

users’ identities and devices 

•   “Defense in depth,” which puts in place multiple layers 

of protection

•   “Least privilege,” which limits the content that individual 

users can access 

Our cybersecurity team includes thought leaders  
who expand knowledge of their expertise. Team  
members contributed to the following publications for  
the World Economic Forum Cyber Resilience in Oil and  
Gas community:

•   Cyber Resilience in the Oil and Gas Industry: Playbook 

for Boards and Corporate Officers

•   Advancing Supply Chain Security in Oil and Gas: An 

Industry Analysis

Through the pandemic, as employees work remotely 
and access our Company systems, stringent security 
measures are vital to protect our computing assets, 
networks, data, and users. A key initiative to further 
strengthen our security posture and improve user 
experience and productivity is upgrading our Enterprise 
Identity and Access Management solution.

In addition to our own asset protection, we work with  
our customers to provide assurance of adequate 
operational technology (OT) security by participating 
in International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 
62443-based assessments.

Physical Security

Workplace Violence Prevention

Our employees’ safety is paramount at Halliburton, and 
the maintenance of a secure and safe workplace is one 
of our key priorities. Fundamental to our workplace 
safety is commitment to our Code of Business Conduct 
(COBC) and established security controls. Additionally, we 
regularly communicate with employees and managers on 
how to recognize, report, and manage threats of violence. 
In 2021, our Corporate Security team developed and 
delivered targeted training modules for key staff members 
to enhance our ability to respond to threats of violence. 
We recognize that early identification and pragmatic 
management of these incidents are crucial factors to 
reduce and mitigate the risk of violence occurring in 
the workplace.

Ethics and 
Compliance

Respect and integrity serve as the foundation 
of our brand and underpin everything that we 
do. To maintain these core values, Halliburton 
has a longstanding ethics and compliance 
program administered by our Global Ethics 
and Compliance group under the leadership 
of the Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer 
and, ultimately, the Audit Committee. This 
program includes our COBC, Ethics Helpline, and 
whistleblower protections. To learn more about 
these programs please visit the Halliburton 
website. The full text of our COBC, which is 
available in 13 languages, can be accessed on 
the COBC page on our website.

2021 HIGHLIGHTS

Ethics and Compliance Training

Halliburton requires all employees and contractors with 
access to our systems to complete in-person or online 
COBC training every two years. We rely on our Local 
Ethics Officers (LEOs) to supplement this education by 
maintaining awareness of ethics and compliance issues 
on an ongoing basis and serving as a resource for our 
employees and contractors. We have 55 LEOs in 40 
countries who model ethical behavior, answer questions, 
provide guidance, take reports of suspected misconduct, 
and deliver quarterly Ethics Moments and biweekly Ethics 
Topics. In 2021, LEOs conducted 2,699 presentations.

This year, Halliburton provided relevant, timely, and 
targeted virtual ethics and compliance training to 
employees around the globe — and our LEOs played a 
critical part in this accomplishment.

Our Ethics and Compliance 
Sustainability Commitment

Conduct business with integrity, choosing the ethical 

course of action when confronted with challenging 

circumstances, promoting a speak-up culture free of 

retaliation, and treating our employees and stakeholders 

honestly and fairly.

management and due diligence and provides guidance on 
ethical conduct when providing business hospitality and 
charitable contributions. In 2021, because of the ongoing

group conducted virtual training sessions to supplement 
our web-based anti-corruption training courses.

Supply Chain 
Governance

Our supply chain mission is to work with 
suppliers who share our commitment to integrity 
and ethical business practices. We use set 
structures to screen suppliers, measure their 
compliance within our supply chain, and ensure 
they align with our mission. To learn about our 
Supplier Management System, along with our 
policies for local supplier procurement, conflict 
minerals, prevention of modern slavery and 
human trafficking, and our expectations for 
suppliers related to compliance and training, 
please visit the Supplier Relations section of  
our website.

2021 HIGHLIGHTS 

Our Supplier Conduct and 
Responsible Procurement 
Sustainability Commitment

Cultivate a sustainable supply chain through the 

continuous improvement of internal processes, by 

performing proactive risk assessments and by working 

collaboratively with our diverse mix of global and 
local suppliers.

Human Rights as an Essential 
Component of Supplier Qualification

assess inherent risk in our supply chain based on country, 
category, and spend classification, which helps prioritize 
areas for detailed follow-up.

Halliburton recognizes the importance of performing due 
diligence on suppliers with respect to slavery and human 
trafficking. We require suppliers to contractually commit 
to protect and uphold the fundamental human rights of 
their employees as stated in the United Nations Universal 
Declaration of Human Rights. We also comply with the 
UK Modern Slavery Act of 2015 and the Australia Modern 
Slavery Act of 2018. (To learn more about our compliance 
with Australia’s Modern Slavery Act, please visit Chapter 
S6 on Human Rights in this report.)

In 2021, Halliburton implemented our new digital 
supplier management system, which includes the 
Supplier Lifecycle Performance (SLP) and Supplier 
Performance Management (SPM) modules. SLP covers 
all elements of supplier request, onboarding, and 
qualification. SPM provides a robust tool to monitor  
and manage supplier performance. 

We also developed and built new comprehensive human 
rights assessments into supplier qualification in SLP 
and performance assessments in SPM. Additionally, 
Halliburton uses an internal human rights dashboard to 

Internal Training

Halliburton uses trainings from many professional training 
bodies focused on supply chain and procurement, 
including the Chartered Institute of Procurement and 
Supply (CIPS), the world’s largest professional body 
serving procurement and supply organizations with more 
than 200,000 procurement and supply chain professionals 
in more than 150 countries. CIPS conducts training on such 
issues as ethics, compliance, conflict minerals, and human 
rights awareness. 

Another training Halliburton takes part in is a new course 
for suppliers and contractors that focuses on labor 
rights and identification of worker exploitation. The 
training, developed in collaboration with the International 
Petroleum Industry Environmental Conservation 
Association (IPIECA), includes 12 interactive modules 
covering topics such as fair recruitment, discrimination, 
working hours, worker accommodation, worker grievance 
mechanisms, and forced labor.

24

•   Create a supply chain culture based on our continuous 

commitment to improvement.

•   Deliver supplier workshops, meetings, and visits.

Partnerships

•   Develop long-term relationships with suppliers to create 
positive environments for local supplier development.

•   Increase value for both suppliers and Halliburton  
in terms of relationships, communication, cost,  
and SQ.

Additionally, Halliburton works with IPIECA and our 
industry counterparts to standardize the measurement 
and reporting of local content globally for the oil and 
gas industry.

An example of our activities is Australia, where we are 
a member of Supply Nation, an organization that helps 
companies allocate spend to the underused indigenous 
business sector through their database of indigenous 
suppliers. Supply Nation also offers training to help 
companies develop their procurement policies on this 
initiative. Our 2021 activities with Supply Nation include:

•   Attending a training called First Step, which provides 
an overview on the relevance of allocating indigenous 
spend and discusses ways in which procurement 
organizations can increase indigenous spend. 

•   Reporting our annual indigenous spend, which 

provides Supply Nation with insights to pursue ongoing 
advancements in the indigenous business sector. 

We also attended an event in the Australian Northern 
Territory (NT) held by the Energy Club NT to meet local 
vendors, including indigenous vendors, and to explore 
opportunities for localizing spend. One of our customers, 
INPEX, sponsors this event, which enjoys participation 
by various companies in the industry.

Conflict Minerals

As a member of the Responsible Minerals Initiative and 
in compliance with the U.S. Dodd-Frank Act, Halliburton 
seeks to ensure that our suppliers source minerals in an 
ethical manner. In 2021, we identified 3,557 suppliers 
as subject to the Dodd-Frank Act and contacted them 
as part of our Conflict Minerals campaign. We terminate 
relationships with any suppliers who do not cooperate 
with Dodd-Frank compliance requirements.

Local Content

Strong, established relationships with local suppliers 
provide Halliburton with strategic and competitive 
advantages for our operations while expanding the 
capacity and competency of national and local suppliers, 
stimulating local economies, and promoting positive labor 
practices. We work with governments and customers 
around the world in a legal and ethical manner to meet 
local content targets, and we have achieved a high rate 
of spend with suppliers based in the regions in which our 
operational activities take place. 

Commitment to Local Communities in 2021:

86%

Percentage of Spend with Local Suppliers

The three elements of our local content strategy are: 
processes, practices, and partnerships.

Processes

•   Provide opportunities, contracts, and feedback  

to local suppliers.

•   Implement a functional mailbox that is always  
accessible to enable new suppliers to contact  
and present their capabilities to the local  
procurement team.

•   Visit vendor facilities every month to meet new  

suppliers and develop relationships with 
existing suppliers.

Practices

•   Clearly define Halliburton expectations and 

requirements for HSE and SQ.

2021 HIGHLIGHTS 

Sustainable Energy Priorities

Halliburton has set science-based targets to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 40% by 2035 from our 
2018 baseline. We have made progress on our targets by quantifying and executing on opportunities,  
which puts us on track to reduce emissions and meet reduction targets.

Nigeria Cuts Diesel 
Fuel Use by More 
Than 58%

Custom SeaQuest® and 
ScaleFightR Solution Cuts 
Emissions in the Gulf of Mexico

In Nigeria, the installation of a power transformer 
at our facility led to a greater than 58% 
improvement in diesel consumption, generating 
cost savings as well as emissions reduction. 
With this change, we reduced the number of 
shipments and, therefore, the number of trucks 
on the road.

The Halliburton Stim Star IV field operations team combined our 
SeaQuest® seawater-based fracturing fluid system with our ScaleFightR 
scale-inhibitor chemicals to overcome the technical challenges 
associated with operations in sea water and barium-rich formations. 
Compared to the freshwater fracturing fluids that are typically used to 
stimulate reservoirs and that require multiple vessels to carry barrels 
of fluid to the wellsite, the patent-pending combination eliminated the 
requirement for extra supply vessels.

Climate Risk Scenario Analysis

Sustainability Labels

In 2021, Halliburton conducted a detailed climate risk 
scenario analysis. A team of 24 internal cross-functional 
stakeholders, along with external consultants, assessed 
the significance of climate-related risks and opportunities, 
aligned to TCFD guidance. 

Using sustainability labels, we identify the emissions 
footprint of our critical products and services in the field. 
We expect that disclosing this information will help our 
customers make informed product selections and meet 
their decarbonization targets. 

We completed a systematic process for our climate risk 
scenario analysis:
1. 

 Assessed the significance of climate-related 
risks and opportunities

2.  Identified and defined a range of scenarios
3.  Mapped business impacts
4.  Determined potential responses

The analysis considered the International Energy 
Agency (IEA) Stated Policies Scenario (STEPS) and 
Sustainable Development Scenario (SDS), as well as 
the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 
Climate Scenario SSP3-RCP7. Our use of published 
scenarios that consider a range of alternative future 
outcomes helps to inform our understanding of climate-
related risks and opportunities and supports our 
development of resilient strategies for a complex and 
dynamic future. 

We categorized transition risks and opportunities 
according to their market, policy, technology, and 
reputation impacts. We categorized physical risks as 
chronic, such as extreme heat and drought, or acute, such 
as hurricanes and flooding. We assessed these impacts 
based on a review of:
•  Input from climate experts and consultants 
•   Review of relevant reports, including those from 

American Petroleum Institute (API), IPIECA, and Energy 
Workforce and Technology Council, and IEA and IPCC 
transition scenarios 

•   Existing risk disclosures from suppliers, peers, and 

customers (CDP and other disclosures)

The takeaways from our climate risk scenario analysis 
support our ERM process and reinforce our sustainable 
energy strategic priorities:

Help our customers meet their goals for 
reducing GHG emissions

As part of our organization’s digital transformation, 
Halliburton PSLs will work to integrate sustainability 
labels into digitized workflows so we can generate 
labels before we execute jobs and compare those 
labels with operational data and actual post-execution 
results. Access to this data will help our PSLs better 
understand whether opportunities exist during technology 
development to reduce emissions and prioritize the 
opportunities for our customers’ benefit.

Facility Improvements to Reduce  
Energy Use

Halliburton strives to reduce energy use in our facilities. In 
2021, Halliburton reduced our global real estate footprint 
by more than 2%, which decreased our facilities’ energy 
demands. This is in addition to a 22% reduction of our real 
estate footprint in 2020.

To meet sustainability targets and to comply with 
regulations, we assess newer real estate technologies and 
update our facilities accordingly. As part of our building 
maintenance, we also evaluate technologies associated 
with major structural elements — including heating, air 
conditioning, and ventilation (HVAC), insulation, and 
windows — to identify potential updates for more energy-
efficient performance.

Facility Improvements to Reduce 
Energy Use (continued)

Halliburton evaluates the use of artificial intelligence 
(AI) to help make our building automation systems for air 
conditioning and heating proactive, rather than reactive, 
to external forces. Typical building automation systems 
work in a sequence of events. They react to temperature 
changes and humidity, and then adjust interior spaces 
based on set points. Using AI, we can examine whether 
the automation system can predict what it must do to 
lower energy consumption while improving comfort in 
buildings. Select buildings at our corporate headquarters 
serve as a pilot location for this test. 

Solar Power 

As part of an ongoing rooftop solar initiative that includes 
four major projects in Singapore, India, and California, 
Halliburton commissioned two new solar projects in 
Malaysia and Colombia in 2021.

At our manufacturing facility in Johor, Malaysia, Halliburton 
executed a 25-year solar power purchase agreement 
(PPA) in the first quarter of 2021. We installed and will 
maintain 2,247 fixed-tilt, roof-mounted solar panels 
totaling 999,915 kilowatt peak (kWp). This is the largest 
size solar array that the local regulations permit. The 
solar array will produce 1,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of 
electricity annually. It has offset approximately 22% of the 
facility’s usage from August to December, 2021.

Additionally, at our field camp in Barrancabermeja, 
Colombia, Halliburton executed a 10-year solar PPA in 
the fourth quarter of 2021. We installed and will maintain 
278 fixed-tilt, roof-mounted solar panels totaling 99 kWp. 
The solar array will produce 228,000 kWh of electricity 
annually, offsetting approximately 49% of the facility’s 
current usage.

In 2022, we expect to explore similar projects elsewhere in 
Colombia, as well as in Mexico and Brazil.

Energy-Efficient Lighting

In North America, we are nearing completion of LED lighting 
retrofits at 13 large facilities, which will reduce carbon 
emissions from lighting by 63% per year. At our Añelo Field 
Camp in Argentina, we completed LED renovations in our 
offices, then met the need for additional lighting along 
pathways and parking areas with LED lighting towers that 
are powered by solar panels and battery storage thereby 
avoiding almost 40,000 kWh in a year from the electrical 
grid. We are evaluating another 42 Halliburton sites in North 
America, Europe, Eurasia, and Sub-Saharan Africa for 
potential completion of retrofits in 2022.

Green Electricity

As we establish new electricity supply contracts, 
Halliburton purchases green electricity from the grid  
when available and feasible. In 2021, we signed two 
three-year agreements for 100% green electricity with 
12 accounts in Alberta, Canada, and two accounts in 
Pennsylvania in the U.S.

We use the Halliburton Management 
System (HMS) to manage environmental 
risks and identify opportunities to mitigate 
our environmental impact. It encompasses 
a comprehensive set of policies, business 
practices, and procedures for how we work, 
including how to reduce our energy use and 
GHG emissions, improve water quality and 
conservation, use chemicals in environmentally 
safe ways, decrease waste, protect the quality 
and biodiversity of our environment, and 
manage environmental practices in our supply 
chain. To read about the HMS in more detail,

Environmental Incidents

The HMS, along with all associated processes and 
procedures, conforms to industry-standard certification 
programs, including ISO 14001 and API RP 75. Individual 
Halliburton facilities and PSLs are externally certified 
to ISO 14001, based on business requirements. In 2021, 
73 Halliburton facilities held ISO 14001 certifications, 
representing 17% of our active global properties. 

The majority of reported environmental incidents 
are spills that occur at Halliburton facilities and field 
locations. In 2021, we had no significant environmental 
noncompliance spill incidents and no significant 
environmental fines. 

Recordable Environmental Incident Rate

Environmental Awareness Training

Chemical Stewardship

We responsibly manage the environmental risks posed by 
our chemical products and services over their lifecycle. 
To improve our chemical stewardship processes and 
systems, the Global Chemical Stewardship (GCS) team 
collaborated with internal users to launch a new workflow 
application, the Chemical Request Management System 
(ChRMS, pronounced as “charms”).

The new system allows users to track the progress of 
requests for compliance purposes. It also helps us balance 
the protection of intellectual property with the rights of 
the chemical manufacturer.

Together, in one centralized system and with incorporated 
global master data, these features deliver a higher level of 
compliance assurance and facilitate smoother workflows 
for our personnel. In addition, the integration includes our 
Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) with information about the 
safe use of chemicals. Our SDSs are available in 37 
languages in more than 70 countries and 20 jurisdictions.

We keep all information related to global chemical 
stewardship updated and available to users around 
the world. The development of ChRMS aligns with our 
Halliburton 4.0 approach to digitize the value chain and 
create internal efficiencies. 

Sustainable Water Initiative

The 3R initiative at liquid mud plants  

aims to accomplish the following:

Reduce  

disposal volumes 

along with dilution 

requirements

Reuse  

non-aqueous 

fluids in other 

applications 

and extend their 

longevity

3R

Repurpose  

waste fluids in applications in which  

fluid quality is less critical

We work with customers to “3R” all fluids to 
the fullest extent possible — even proactively 
cleaning, blending, and reusing most feedstock 
to help achieve habitual environmental 
conservation. Not only does this practice save 
water, but it can prevent some of the emissions 
associated with the manufacture, transfer, and 
mixing of new fluids and their components.

Water and Effluents

We work with our customers to reduce their water usage. 
Although customers purchase and control the water 
they use at hydraulic fracturing sites and at wellsites, we 
provide solutions to assist customers with water usage.

Our reported water-usage data includes water used at 
Company-owned or Company-leased locations, except 
those locations that include water usage in the lease, 
and covers our facilities in the U.S. and Canada and most 
global facilities. 

Many of our locations have implemented water-reduction 
and water-recycling projects, particularly those in water-
stressed areas.

In Scotland, the Aberdeen Maintenance and Sperry Drilling departments 
have tanks that store water previously used in function testing activities 
until the water can be reused. This eliminates the requirement to use fresh 
water for every test.

Thailand

Our water treatment system cleans and separates oil discharge from  
water. The Thai government allows Halliburton to sell the water to a 
recycling company.

Argentina

At the Añelo Field Camp, we built a water-treatment plant that we 
completed in January 2022. The plant enables us to reuse 88% of the 
wastewater generated in our washbays.

Waste Reduction

At Halliburton, we develop waste minimization and management plans to reduce the amount of waste generated at our 
offices, workshops, field camps, manufacturing facilities, and wellsites under our control.

Our waste-generation data covers all U.S. locations, all manufacturing locations, and any non-U.S. location that has 
a building footprint larger than two acres (8,092 m²) and that houses those activities identified as having the largest 
potential for waste generation.

As we look to 2022, we are in the process of standardizing and digitizing waste-reduction tools and resources across our 
facilities to identify waste-reduction opportunities and effectively execute on them.

UK and Africa

In Scotland, we diverted 32 metric tons of wood waste including dry timber, 
used crates, pallets, and solid wood from a biomass plant to a local charity in 
Aberdeenshire, Wood RecyclAbility. This organization repurposes wood waste to 
make many beautiful, high-quality products that it sells to the public, such as 
furniture, various household products, and bespoke products. However, what makes 
this organization truly special are the opportunities that it provides to its trainees, 
who are adults with a range of additional support needs. Their work with Wood 
RecyclAbility gives them a purpose, life skills, wood-working skills, and, in some 
cases, has led to their full-time employment.  

In Africa, we repurposed wood from original packaging to build new boxes for 
material exportation.

Brunei

Halliburton worked with a local recycling company to convert paper waste into toilet 
paper. We collect non-confidential paper waste from our Brunei facilities — including 
from our offices, workshops, bulk plants, vessels, and rigs — and store them at 
designated recycling bins. On a monthly basis, recyclers collect the material and 
then transform it into a 100% recyclable toilet paper product. In 2021, Halliburton 
recycled 300 kilograms of paper.

Biodiversity

Our commitment to environmentally sound and 
sustainable business practices includes minimizing 
disturbances to the land where we develop our 
offices, field camps, chemical facilities, and service 
centers. To support this commitment, we conduct 
proper environmental due diligence and permitting 
when establishing new facilities and ensure regulatory 
compliance through the life of each facility. Additionally, 
we recognize the inherent value in threatened lands 
and species, and we evaluate programs and methods to 
protect sensitive habitats around our locations. 

Our employees took part in many biodiversity initiatives at 
our facilities around the world. We planted trees at many of 
our global sites, including our Coca Base in Ecuador, Añelo 
Field Camp in Argentina, Saihat facility in Saudi Arabia, 
Malaysia facilities, and the forests in Cabinda, Angola.

Our Technology Highlights 

Featured here are examples of our technologies that reduce our customers’ emissions and aim to 
decarbonize the process of oil and gas extraction.

Tier 4 Engines and E-Frac

Halliburton has the largest fleet of Tier 4-compliant 
engines — both diesel and dual fuel — in operation 
in the U.S. and the Gulf of Mexico. Tier 4 is the U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) strictest 
regulation for nitrogen oxides and particulate emissions.

Our Tier 4 dual-fuel engines enable operators to use 
natural gas instead of diesel fuel as the majority of 
their fuel source. The option to use field gas minimizes 
flaring, which reduces emissions and is less costly for our 
customers. Because of the way that Halliburton developed 
our technology, we can convert our diesel engines to 
Tier 4 dual-fuel.

We also offer all-electric fracturing capabilities using 
our second-generation Zeus™ electric pumping unit, 
ExpressBlend™ electric blending system, eWinch™ electric 
wireline unit, and an electric Tech Command Center. All 
this equipment can run on electric power, generated using 
natural gas or taken directly off the grid, for the lowest 
possible emissions profile. This solution also allows for 
additional electrification of fracturing locations, such as 
lighting and water transfer. 

An active focus on our e-frac 
capabilities is underway.

In August 2021, Halliburton announced the industry’s 
first deployment of an advanced e-frac solution with 
Chesapeake Energy Corporation. The project combines 
our all-electric fracturing spread with VoltaGrid’s power-
generation system. By using this technology in its local 
field gas network, Chesapeake Energy reduced 
emissions by 32% and applied more than 25 megawatts 
of lower-carbon power generation without sacrificing 
operational performance or reliability. This project is a 
major step forward in our customer’s goal of achieving 
net-zero emissions.

Halliburton 2021 Annual & Sustainability ReportEnvironmentalCementing Products

The Cementing PSL has two main focus areas: to reduce the carbon footprint of the solutions that we provide to our 
customers and to stop fugitive gas emissions for the life of a well. 

39

NeoCem™ 

IsoBond™ 

Obex™ 

The NeoCem™ cement system 
reduces the amount of Portland 
cement in the wellbore isolation 
barrier by an average of 40% by mass 
Portland. (Portland cement accounts 
for the majority of the carbon 
footprint in a cementing job, as its 
manufacture and transport releases 
air pollutants.)

Our Obex™ family of compression-
set, mechanical packers (Obex 
GasLock™ packer, V0 rated; Obex 
IsoLock™, V3 rated; and Obex 
EcoLock™, V6 rated) enhance well 
integrity and therefore prevent 
fugitive gas emissions. By offering a 
powerful mechanical barrier, Obex™ 
packers improve zonal isolation and 
mitigate sustained casing pressure 
to avoid failures leading to annular 
gas migration.

The IsoBond™ cement system 
prevents sustained casing pressure 
over the life of a well, which helps 
improve well integrity and stop 
fugitive gas emissions from releasing 
into the environment. The system 
accomplishes this through:

•   Low fluid loss and fast transition 
times to prevent the flow of gas 
through cement as it sets.

•   Enhanced shear bond, in which 

the ability of the cement to adhere 
to steel casing improves by as 
much as 40% compared to other 
cementing systems.

•   Reduced cement permeability 
by more than 70% compared to 
other cementing systems, which 
prevents gas and other wellbore 
fluids from migrating through the 
cement after it sets.

BaraHib™ Gold

WaterWeb® 

BaraHib™ Gold high-performance 
water-based mud eliminates the 
requirement for the containment, 
transport, and treatment of oily 
cuttings onshore. Fluid makeup 
includes approximately 15% 
industrially produced materials 
(except water and barite) by volume, 
compared to approximately 60% in 
a typical non-aqueous fluid. With 
trackable inhibitor technology, 
BaraHib™ Gold fluid also has a 
longer run life than typical water-
based fluids.

Our WaterWeb® conformance service 
gives operators the ability to lower 
the treatment and disposal costs 
of produced water, along with the 
associated environmental impacts. 
To accomplish this, the WaterWeb® 
service uses a polymer chemistry to 
impede water flow while enhancing 
hydrocarbon flow to the wellbore 
in any type of reservoir — including 
sandstone and carbonate formations. 
This technology absorbs into the rock 
surface and creates resistance that 
holds water back while allowing oil 
and gas to pass freely, decreasing 
water permeability by more than 

90% with little to no damage to 
hydrocarbon permeability. By 
reducing the water column, the 
WaterWeb® service improves the 
natural lift to residual oil and gas. 
It also helps prolong and sustain 
production by enhancing  
reservoir drainage. 

As an example of this technology’s 
capabilities, Halliburton deployed the 
WaterWeb® service in an offshore 
carbonate reservoir, where it reduced 
the water cut by 22% and increased 
hydrocarbon production to more than 
600 barrels of oil per day.

Reduction in Battery Use

To improve the sustainability of operations, Halliburton 
aims to eliminate the use of lithium batteries in our 
downhole tools. Batteries require complex logistics and 
safety precautions, as well as recycling. The development 
of solutions to generate downhole power or to 
continuously provide power from the surface will make 
a step change toward reducing our environmental 
footprint. Because of this, many of our PSLs, including 
Sperry Drilling and Production Solutions, focus on 
technology development that does not rely on 
battery power.

As an example, a downhole generator powers our iCruise® 
rotary steerable system, removing the batteries that 
we used in our previous generation of rotary steerable 
technology. One of the design goals of our new iStar™ 
intelligent drilling and logging platform was to reduce 
the number of downhole batteries that we used. In 2022, 
we will deploy an additional turbine-based generator to 
enable further reductions in battery use.

Our SPECTRUM® FUSION real-time hybrid coiled tubing 
services integrate fiber optic and electric communication 
and power to eliminate battery use. Doing so results 
in operations not limited by power or time constraints. 
The system also combines intervention and diagnostic 
capabilities and is fully compatible with mechanical 
and wireline tools. This unlimited flexibility lessens 
logistical constraints.

Additionally, we have invested in a company that  
produces ultra-capacitators, a rechargeable solution  
that delivers the power required for our challenging 
downhole applications.

Digital Transformation

Halliburton deploys digital technology across all 
business lines and geographies to improve efficiencies 
and outcomes. Many of these capabilities reduce GHG 
emissions through optimization and efficiencies and 
provide high-quality data for enhanced decision-making 
and continuous improvement.

Digital unlocks the potential to structurally lower costs, 
shorten time to first oil, increase efficiency in exploration 
and production, and enhance performance across the 
entire value chain. 

In 2021, the Company made great strides in our digital 
transformation by developing, deploying, and maturing 
Halliburton 4.0.

Well Construction 4.0:  
Digitally Transforming the Well 
Construction Lifecycle

With digitally enhanced well construction, we 
reduce costs and planning time and optimize 
well design and placement to improve drilling 
performance for a safer, more productive well.

Well Construction 4.0 incorporates all of 
Halliburton’s digital technologies and allows 
integration and collaboration between our well 
engineering applications, such as Digital Well 
Program® and Digital Well Operations, as well as 
any third-party applications that an operator or 
contractor may use. These technological advances 
enabled us to reduce well planning and design time 
by up to 80% in the North Sea.

Well Construction 4.0 automates many drilling 
processes. In a mature field in the Middle East, 
Halliburton improved drilling performance and 
shortened drilling time by 43% by integrating our 
Cerebro® In Bit Sensing, Logix™ Automated Drilling 
Solution, N-Flow™ 325 filter cake breaker, Pason 
AutoDriller, and project management services. 

Additionally, with our remote operations, Well 
Construction 4.0 helps reduce the number of 
people required on-site. For the first two sections 
of a job at an offshore rig in Southeast Asia, 
Halliburton decreased the number of people at the 
wellsite by 21%, which also reduced helicopter rides 
and international commercial flights to the rig.

Halliburton 4.0

In 2021, Halliburton 4.0 accelerated our digital approach 
over the well lifecycle including subsurface, well 
construction, reservoir and production, and our 
own enterprise.

Our deployment of software, hardware, AI, machine 
learning, and sensors gives us access to more data and 
operational insight than ever before. This data allows 
us to improve project planning, design, and execution; 
monitor and optimize operations in real time; enhance 
decision-making; shift to automated controls and remote 
operations; make data more accessible to all business 
units; and advance data storage and data analytics 
capabilities — all while enabling a more collaborative, 
connected workforce. 

Halliburton 4.0 increases efficiency, saves costs, and 
mitigates health and safety risks associated with manual 
labor. It also reduces our environmental impact through 
the elimination of paper waste and the reduction of 
personnel required to work at wellsites, which means 
fewer emissions associated with transportation, lodging, 
and sustenance on both land and offshore settings.

Launched in the first quarter of 2021, our new  
cloud-based platform, Real-Time-as-a-Service (RTS),  
uses modern digital technology to stream real-time data 
to all employees and customers who have subscribed to 
these feeds and are authorized to receive them.

A customer in Norway, the first operator to adopt RTS, 
uses the platform to monitor six offshore rigs. In the 
customer’s experience, RTS is 83% faster than our legacy 
real-time system, with uptime reliability of nearly 99.9%. 
Equally important, RTS is less energy intensive than its 
predecessor, relying on cloud computing that can be 
scaled up or down based on consumer demand. 

As a result of using RTS, Halliburton retired a number of 
on-premise data centers that had dedicated services and 
reduced personnel required to keep the legacy real-time 
system functional. Our goal is to convert 100% of our  
real-time requirements to the RTS platform in the first  
half of 2022.

please visit the Halliburton 4.0 page on our website.

Halliburton 2021 Annual & Sustainability ReportEnvironmental44

Halliburton Landmark

To support Halliburton 4.0, Halliburton Landmark offers 
a suite of geoscience software products that enable 
our customers to explore and produce hydrocarbons. In 
2021, Halliburton shifted Landmark products further into 
the sustainability space. Here are a few examples of our 
products that support the world’s energy transition:

Neftex® PROSPECT software, which we developed in 
2021 and will launch in the first quarter of 2022, supports 
critical mineral exploration. Electrification of transport 
and industrial processes is a key component of global 
decarbonization ambitions. However, this initiative 
requires a vastly increased supply of metals and minerals 
for success. Renewed investment in discovering 
additional resources will be the key to meet this demand. 
Landmark adapts proven oil and gas exploration 
workflows to aid in the hunt for minerals that are critical 
to the energy transition. 

Storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) in ancient rock strata is set 
to become a major contributor to emissions reduction. We 
can identify suitable aquifers for this purpose by using a 
similar approach to how we uncover hydrocarbon-bearing 
strata. With Neftex® Predictions and DecisionSpace® 365 

software, Landmark adapts E&P workflows to consider 
the parameters that are important for safe CO2 storage, 
identify suitable aquifers, screen areas for further 
investigation, and model them using technologies that 
we developed to understand the injection and migration 
of captured CO2. Our technology helps customers answer 
critical questions such as: 

•   Where can we store CO2?

•   How much CO2 can we inject, and can we inject CO2 

at a sufficient rate?

•   Can we store it safely?

•   What is a site’s storage capacity over its lifetime?

•   Will the CO2 remain in the geological storage tank  

over time without leaking?

We also focus our efforts to enhance our iEnergy® 
platform, the industry’s first hybrid cloud environment 
dedicated to E&P. By using machine learning, we can 
better manage and mitigate carbon emissions from 
our operations. 

For more information on Landmark, please visit the 
Landmark page on our website. 

This database is included in Neftex® PROSPECT software. Areas in color denote when Earth’s tectonic 
features were active. Because many critical minerals are found in zones of active tectonism, this 
information can help to identify areas for closer attention in the search for specific minerals.

Support for Renewable  
Energy Sources

In addition to using our digital capabilities, Halliburton 
applies our existing technologies to the renewable energy 
space for a greater environmental impact. 

Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage

Halliburton actively participates in the carbon capture, 
utilization, and storage (CCUS) industry, and has 
developed technologies to support carbon transport 
and storage projects. Our capabilities include geological 
storage site selection and development, in addition to well 
repurposing, construction, and monitoring, and pipeline 
and subsea construction and maintenance.

In 2021, Halliburton applied a unique, machine learning-
based 3D model for a Japanese company to estimate the 
availability of pore space over large areas for CO2 storage. 
This model increased operational efficiency, with a 
fivefold reduction in time spent compared to conventional 
approaches, along with increased accuracy.

Geothermal

For decades, Halliburton has offered our advanced 
technologies and experience to customers developing 
complete geothermal solutions around the world. Our 
products and services address every aspect of developing 
a geothermal energy production facility, including 
project management, drilling, cementing, fluids, logging, 
completions, stimulation, and geofluids transfer. 

Geothermal energy demand has expanded to more 
shallow-source, lower-heat applications for heating 
and cooling. For electricity generation, the geothermal 
market has expanded to deeper, higher-heat sources. 
Although these geothermal sources are much more 
efficient in generating electricity, they require 
advanced geothermal systems to overcome technical 
challenges, and Halliburton is working to service these 
emerging markets.

In Indonesia, which is the world’s top geothermal market, 
Halliburton has supported geothermal activity for more 
than 30 years. In this time, we have drilled and produced 
more than 220 wells, and completed approximately 40 
wells with Halliburton Project Management’s Integrated 
Services. In 2021, Halliburton continued to contribute 
to the Sarulla Geothermal project. For this project, we 
have worked with a market leader for more than 15 
years to provide drilling and cementing services in the 
development of this clean, renewable energy source. 
During this time, we helped our customer produce clean 
electricity from geothermal wells safely, efficiently, and 
cost-effectively, and enabled a larger number of wells to 
produce from a single pad for less environmental impact.

ZERO safety incidents, ZERO environmental incidents, and 
ZERO non-productive time — every day, on every job. 

The following elements support and enable our Journey to 
ZERO progress:

•  Oversight from the Board of Directors’ HSE Committee
•   Robust capabilities of the Halliburton Management 

System (HMS) 

•  Training and education
•   Identification and communication of personal and 

process safety risks 

•  Commitment to continuous process improvement 
•  Verification of our HSE and SQ performance

Each year, we set strategic Journey to ZERO objectives. 
Throughout 2021, we focused on risk management, 
incident investigations, and training. Our PSLs evaluated 
high-risk activities and implemented action plans to 
eliminate or further mitigate identified personal and 
process safety risks. We supported these efforts through 
improved risk management training modules. To ensure 
effective communication of incident investigation 
learnings, our HSE and SQ team launched an updated 
global, centralized Lessons Learned platform to target 
Company-wide process improvements. We also introduced 
human performance principles and incorporated these in 
our updated leadership training. We completed 100% of our 
planned Journey to ZERO objectives.

2021 HIGHLIGHTS

Halliburton Management System 

The HMS integrates and standardizes the policies, 
business practices, and procedures that we use to define, 
plan, and execute our business activities. Our HMS defines 
how we work by providing reliable processes that equip 
employees to work safely, consistently, and effectively.

In September 2021, the Global HSE and SQ team and our 
Public Law team launched a new platform supporting the 
HMS. The HMS platform manages the publishing, storage, 
and retrieval of our HMS documents in alignment with our 
policies, business practices, and global standards.

This project involved the migration of approximately 36,700 
active processes, forms, and checklists into the new 

Risk Management 

system. It also included the physical migration of content 
and the classification of documents to help employees 
locate them in a standardized and efficient manner. 

The benefits of the new platform include:
•  Improved search capabilities 
•  Enhanced reporting and analytics
•  Easier access to documents

You can find more details about our HMS on the 
Halliburton Management System section of our 
website or in Chapter E2 on Environmental Management 
in this report.

At Halliburton, we perform activities every day that carry 
inherent safety and SQ risks. In response, Halliburton 
implemented an improved digital risk management 
process in 2021. In addition, we enhanced our risk 
management process workflow and deployed new tools 
such as our “5 Checks To Go” process. 

and controls then auto-populate on a core job safety 
analysis. After the team completes the work, they can 
share lessons learned with the organization. Overall, 
this results in a more effective process that we publish 
and share with the organization to increase safety 
and SQ. 

Under the revised risk management process, frontline 
leaders and teams assess documented HMS processes 
by using our risk assessment methodology. We identify, 
remove, or mitigate risks at the planning stage, which 
gives our frontline teams the ability to focus on identifying 
and addressing operational variabilities. When personnel 
create a risk assessment, they can assign actions to the 
risk assessment team or to the frontline team. These risks 

We also developed web-based training courses for all 
frontline employees, supervisors, and leaders in critical 
roles. By the end of 2021, 94% of personnel completed  
the risk management training module. In 2022, the 
transition will continue with additional training and 
coaching to support process consistency and further  
our project success.

Identification and Communication  
of HSE and SQ Risks

Our Stop Work Authority (SWA) program authorizes all 
employees and contractors to stop a task if they observe 
unsafe actions or conditions, or if they have concerns 
regarding the controls over an HSE or SQ risk. In 2021,  
the number of SWA observations increased. 

Health and Safety Awareness and 
Training Programs

Halliburton offered 638 health and safety training courses 
to our employees, who completed 705,739 total hours 
of training in 2021. To ensure that learning continued 
in a safe environment and that employees developed 
critical competencies despite the ongoing pandemic, 
we continued to transition to virtual training through our 
Learning Management System.

In addition to training, Halliburton reinforces our safety 
culture through active safety awareness communications 
and targeted campaigns. As an example, last year all 
regions conducted campaigns highlighting hand and 
finger safety — one of the most common hazards in our 
industry. We maintained a heightened awareness of hand 
and finger safety through communications that included 
safety meetings and structured hazard hunts.

Lessons Learned and Incident 
Investigation

Incidents pose the biggest potential risks to our people.  
That is why it is important to focus on learning from each 
incident. We are fortunate that, at Halliburton, we value 
the opportunity to learn from and investigate incidents 
to avoid repeat occurrences and to support continuous 
improvement in our policies and practices. In 2021, 
Halliburton focused on two areas:

  1.  An investigation process that we manage through 

a tiered severity model, which ensures that we assign 
the appropriate level of support and management 
oversight based on the severity of the safety incident 
and that we allocate our resources in the smartest, 
most efficient way

  2.  A centralized, Company-wide Lessons Learned 

platform for sharing high-level alerts and learning 
opportunities throughout the organization

HSE Recognition

Introduced in 2020, our HSE Recognition program 
highlights the efforts of our people to advance 
improvements in HSE performance. This biannual award 
highlights the outstanding practices that employees share 
across the organization. Here is an example of one of the 
2021 initiatives that we recognized:

Zero HSE Incidents in Mexico for Major  
International Oil Company

Through PSL collaboration, our team decreased 
the number of personnel on offshore platforms 
and vessels. Use of the management of 
change process with established roles and 
responsibilities enabled the team to achieve zero 
HSE incidents.

Colombia: HSE Win for Wireline & Perforating and Drill  
Bits & Services PSLs

Canacol Energy Colombia SA deemed Halliburton an outstanding supplier for formation 
evaluation work completed during the first two quarters of the year. We introduced 
Cerebro® in-bit sensor technology during the intermediate and production phases of 
an exploratory campaign. Not only did the customer identify potential hydrocarbon 
reserves and increase production, but Halliburton also executed the work with zero HSE 
recordable incidents.

Trinidad: Pipeline & Process Services PSL Receives the  
Shell Goal Zero Hero Recognition

This customer-initiated award recognizes personnel who exhibit exemplary behaviors 
in identifying and mitigating risks and potential hazards. For this project, Halliburton 
purged the topside platform to displace hydrocarbons to below the lower explosive limit 
to enable mechanical work to take place. To complete the job safely and efficiently, 
the team completed comprehensive toolbox talks; proactively engaged all personnel 
involved, including customers and third parties; and explained the job steps and the 
associated hazards, such as nitrogen oxide asphyxiation, cryogenic temperatures, and 
pressurized and flammable gases.

Global Advances in Reducing Exposure to Radioactive Materials

Objective 1: In 2020, the Production Enhancement PSL set a goal to remove 100% of 
radioactive densometers from North American operations and 80% from international 
operations to reduce exposure to hazardous materials when capturing density 
measurements. We are well on track to meet our target and, as of today, we have 
reduced exposure by 97% in North America and 59% internationally.

Objective 2: Implement a sustainable process to ensure the timely disposal of 
radioactive sources with low levels of activity and usage, which will reduce personnel 
risks. In 2021, Halliburton has disposed more than 700 radioactive sources.

2021 HIGHLIGHTS

Enhancements to Benefits

We provide our employees around the world with competitive benefits tailored to address the needs of our diverse 
workforce and their families. Our benefits package offers a wide array of programs and services, from comprehensive 
medical insurance, retirement accounts, and income protection while on disability, to paid time off, emergency childcare, 
and third-party discounts. 

In 2021, we enhanced our benefits offerings for U.S. employees and their eligible family members to improve their 
healthcare experience and to help them better plan for healthcare expenditures. These additions to our benefits package, 
which will go into effect for the 2022 plan year, include:

Accident Insurance — This policy complements the 
coverage of primary medical insurance. This policy pays 
employees or eligible family members a lump sum if they 
incur an injury resulting from an accident to help cover the 
costs of medical treatment. 

Hospital Indemnity Insurance — If an employee or one 
of their eligible family members is admitted to a hospital — 
for either planned or unplanned reasons — then they are 
eligible for payment to help cover those costs. Halliburton 
offers two levels of coverage via MetLife: low ($10,000 
maximum benefit) and high ($20,000 maximum benefit).

Critical Illness Insurance — This policy complements 
the coverage of primary medical insurance by paying 
employees or eligible family members a lump sum to help 
cover treatment costs if they are diagnosed with one 
of the specific illnesses listed in the policy’s certificate. 
Halliburton offers two levels of coverage via MetLife: 
low ($10,000 maximum benefit) and high ($20,000

Enhancements to Benefits 
(continued)

Expert Medical Opinions and Health Plan Navigation. 
Through our partnership with 2nd.MD, we can offer 
employees and their families additional support when  
they need it most: 

•   Expert Medical Opinions — When faced with major 
changes in health status, or when there is a new 
diagnosis or treatment plan that includes surgery, 
employees can consult with world-renowned medical 
specialists within a few days via 2nd.MD. This gives 
employees the second opinion they require to make 
informed, confident healthcare choices.

•   Health Plan Navigation — Nurses at 2nd.MD help 

employees and their families find high-quality care 
within the employee’s benefits plan. This includes the 
identification of providers who are local, in network,  
and highly recommended.

Tobacco Cessation Program — Halliburton transitioned 
our tobacco cessation program to a new partner, Well 
onTarget, to provide a more clinical and consultative 
approach to help our employees quit using tobacco 
products. This program offers more tailored support that 
is integrated within our U.S.-based medical plans, enabling 
employees to seamlessly transition from their tobacco 
cessation journey to other services, as required. 

In 2021, as a testament to their positive 
employment experience with Halliburton, 
we saw more than 2,800 former employees 
join the Company.

Prioritization of Mental Health

Over the last two years, the public health crisis caused 
by the COVID-19 pandemic has created and exacerbated 
many hardships for millions of people around the world. 

During the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, 
employees cited mental health issues — such as 
depression, anxiety, fatigue, grief, and bereavement 
— as their major concerns, second in importance only 
to financial concerns, via employee surveys. With the 
pandemic persisting for nearly two years, our workforce 
continues to grapple with these issues. 

Halliburton has worked diligently to address these 
emergent concerns by increasing access to our  
Employee Assistance Program (EAP) globally. Our 
EAP offers confidential help and support to employees 
— at no cost to them — for a range of personal and 
professional challenges.

Between 2020 and 2021, Halliburton expanded access 
to EAP services from six countries — the U.S., the UK, 
Canada, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, and Australia — 
to an additional 37 countries across Latin America, Africa, 
the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region. Our in-house 
EAP team is in discussions to further expand the EAP 
throughout Europe and Latin America.

Throughout the pandemic, the Halliburton EAP team 
has maintained a monthly web series called Lessons for 
Life that feature experts who address a variety of topics 
related to mental health. In 2021, presentations covered 
topics such as Let’s Talk Mental Health, Finding Hope in 
the Midst of Loss, Effective Communication, COVID-19  
and Substance Abuse, and Estate Planning in the Wake  
of a Pandemic. 

Halliburton expanded other mental health initiatives 
around the world as well. We increased our output of 
mental health content, which includes: 

•   Mental Health First Aid training and certification 

programs in the UK and the U.S. 

•   Quarterly EAP newsletters that we distribute in multiple 

markets to raise mental health awareness and  
engagement globally

•   Global mental health campaign for World Mental  
Health Day in which we delivered consistent  
messaging globally to all employees to raise  
mental health awareness

their well-being. Throughout the country, 
we held morning teas that featured video 
messages from our area manager. During 
the teas, employees discussed mental 
health and had the opportunity to share 
personal stories. Each week, we gave 
toolbox support resources about mental 
health to our crews. 

Additionally, we organized weekly Zoom 
webinars on mental health awareness 
that were led by health professionals, 
and we created a Yammer page to create 
a sense of community across this region, 
in which we regularly share mental 
health tools and resources. We also 
introduced mental-health first aiders in 
our Australia locations.

The Halliburton Family

An important element of our Company culture is that we 
care for and help each other, which is apparent during times 
of crisis. A strong example of how we assist our people is 
the Halliburton Disaster Relief Fund. 

When a natural disaster occurs, the Disaster Relief 
Fund may be activated. The fund distributes grants to 
employees who have been impacted by natural disasters 
such as floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, fires, 
or tornadoes.

On August 29, 2021, Hurricane Ida struck Louisiana as a 
Category 4 hurricane. This storm ranks as the second-
most-destructive hurricane in recorded history to 
hit the state. To provide relief to our employees who 
were impacted by this powerful storm, our Executive 
Committee approved the use of the Disaster Relief Fund. 

The fund provided a wide range of support for  
impacted employees, including:

•   Distribution of $163,000 in grants to employees 

who experienced significant losses resulting from 
the hurricane 

•   Payment for hotel accommodations totaling  

more than $80,000

•   Food drives

•   Volunteers on location to assist employees and families

•   Donations of generators and other critical supplies  

including gas, water, clothing, and diapers

2021 HIGHLIGHTS

Expansion of Flexible Learning

In 2021, Halliburton expanded modular learning 
opportunities to not only adapt to the ongoing 
COVID-19 pandemic, but also to take advantage of 
a valuable opportunity to make our training more 
accessible and efficient for our global workforce, 
and allow personnel to tailor learning opportunities 
to their specific needs. 

In doing so, we relied on different delivery methods for 
maximum flexibility, including virtual, self-paced, and 
hybrid formats. We now conduct 60% of our training 
outside of the traditional classroom, or in-person 
instructor, setting. To facilitate tailored learning closest to 
the point of application and more in the flow of work, we 
identify opportunities to shift training to a virtual or  
hybrid format. In addition to greater access and efficiency, 
virtual learning offers the benefit of more diverse 
attendees, with employees from various parts of the  
world participating in the same class, and therefore  
a more enriching learning experience. 

Our Skilled and Committed 
Workforce Sustainability 
Commitment
Have a skilled and committed workforce by listening 

and responding to our employees’ feedback and 

committing to an engaged workforce that feels valued 

with the right support and resources to be successful.

Notable examples of our flexible training and development 
programs in 2021 include:

•   Our U.S. intern program, in which 86 interns worked 
with our business functions and PSLs, used a mix of 
in-person, virtual, and hybrid work opportunities. We 
hosted a full-day HalCamp to introduce interns to the 
Company, offering them the option of attending one 
of two on-site locations or joining a virtual orientation. 
To keep interns engaged and connected to Halliburton 
and with each other, we scheduled virtual and in-
person lunch and learn sessions, along with virtual 
weekly water cooler chats and game nights. For our 
efforts, RippleMatch recognized Halliburton as one of 11 
innovative companies in the U.S.

•   The Halliburton Business Development team launched 
the Advanced Negotiation Program in conjunction 
with the Texas A&M University Center for Executive 
Development. We offer this course in a virtual format.

61

Talent Identification and Succession 
Management

Halliburton has more than 8,000 leaders among our 
employees. The ongoing identification and development 
of potential leadership talent ensures business continuity 
and strengthens our competitive advantage, both of 
which are critical for our short- and long-term success. 

In 2021, we identified more than 18,000 potential 
successors — our most diverse roster of successors 
to date. One of our most significant investments in 
developing future leaders in the Company is our executive 
education programs (BLD I, II, and III, and PLEP). Even in a 
year with travel restrictions impacting many countries, of 
our 324 program attendees, 40 different nationalities were 
represented and 25% were female.

Expansion of Flexible Learning 
(continued) 

•   After pausing for most of 2020 because of the 

pandemic, our executive education programming 
resumed in 2021. When required, we moved a portion of 
this programming, including Level III of the four-tiered 
Business Leadership Development (BLD) Program and 
the President’s Leadership Excellence Program (PLEP), 
to a virtual format.

•   Multiple PSLs have converted classroom training into 
modular, learner-driven formats with flexible delivery 
options to maximize the benefits of virtual instructor-
led, self-paced, and on-the-job training for thousands 
of employees. This has reduced travel time, limited the 
impact of travel restrictions, and allowed motivated 
employees to own their development and accelerate 
their careers.

Despite recent disruptions and continual changes, the 
quality of our training and education is unrivaled in our 
industry. For the ninth consecutive year, the Halliburton 
Global Competency Assurance Program maintained its 
status as the only full-spectrum oilfield services  
company to enjoy global accreditation by the  
International Association of Drilling Contractors  
(IADC) with no restrictions.

Launch of the Data Science 
Academy

In alignment with our Halliburton 4.0 digital approach, we 
introduced the Halliburton Data Science Academy in 2021. 
This new online, self-paced learning program enhances 
employees’ analytical skills and further expands our 
capabilities to address the large amounts of data to which 
we have daily access. During this year-long program, 
participants enhance their skills in functions such as data 
analytics, data engineering, data science, and machine 
learning. Upon completion of the program, participants 
understand how to use innovative solutions to effectively 
respond to complex business challenges.

In March, PSL technology directors nominated more than 
170 technology and Landmark employees for the pilot 
phase of the academy’s introduction, later expanding 
curricula access to an additional 160 employees.

2021 HIGHLIGHTS

Minority and Female Representation

Increased diversity is an ongoing priority at Halliburton 
— and we made strides in advancing our Company’s 
diversity in 2021. In the U.S., the percentage of minorities 
in management positions improved 13% year over year.
Female representation in leadership roles has improved 
8% year over year. In addition, 19% of new hires in STEM 
roles were female. These types of roles feed into higher 
leadership positions within the Company, and we are 
pleased to report improving diversity.

Listen and Respond

As part of our commitment to inclusivity, Halliburton 
solicits feedback from employees on their workplace 
challenges, and empowers them to share their perspective 
and ideas to improve the overall employee experience 
— including performance, development, and work-life 
balance. In fact, employee feedback about mental health 
during the pandemic initiated our expansion of the EAP. 
One of our tools that we use to solicit feedback is the 
biannual Employee Pulse Survey (EPS).

Our August 2021 EPS yielded our highest response rate 
yet at 77%. Through this survey, we confirmed that 
our employees are engaged, they know that their work 
matters, and they feel welcomed and included in our

Employee Resource Groups

To further support a positive and inclusive work 
environment, Halliburton has employee resource groups 
(ERGs) for employees who share an interest in a particular 
topic or mission. These groups encourage engagement, 
collaboration, networking, and professional development 
while enhancing leadership skills and enabling career 
mobility within Halliburton. We engage with these ERGs to 
listen, empower, and help educate our workforce.

Participation in our ERGs is voluntary and open to  
all employees. 

Halliburton has five ERGs:

•   Women Sharing Excellence (WSE)
•   Black Employees Leading in Inclusion, Excellence,  

Vision, and Education (BELIEVE)
•   Veterans Leadership Forum (VLF)
•   iMPACT
•   PRIDE

First All-Female Halliburton Completion Tools  
(HCT) Crew Completes Operational Installation

Halliburton achieved an important milestone: 
installing our VersaFlex® liner hanger system for a 
major oil and gas producer in Australia with an all-
female crew. This is a first for any HCT operational 
installation in the area.

The operation involved running liner to a depth of 
13,232 ft through a 5,906-ft-long highly deviated 
section. The HCT completed the job without any  
HSE or SQ incidents.

DE&I Training 

In 2021, the Company created and assigned a DE&I 
training course to the global workforce and required 
its completion by all full-time employees. This training 
introduces the acronym INCLUDE, with each letter in the 
acronym detailing an essential behavior supporting DE&I 

at Halliburton. The training features videos of Halliburton 
leaders from around the world describing what each of the 
behaviors mean to them.

on achieving racial equality in the workplace to all North 
American employees. We also made this training available 
globally. Topics covered in the training include practical 
strategies to address concerns about racial equality 
and the initiation of conversations about how we can 
recognize differences, seek understanding, and create a 
more inclusive environment.

Development of Local Workforces

As one of the world’s most diverse companies, we positively 
impact communities around the world by investing in 
the development of the local workforce. We make this 
investment to:

•   Be able to conduct business in native languages and with 

an understanding of local values and cultures, which 
facilitates better communication and improved day-to-
day operations

•  Improve local economies

•   Make our workforce more representative of the 

local population

•   Enhance the quality of life for employees and their 

families through job creation, skill advancement, and 
career development

We hire locals and give them access to our classroom 
and virtual training, on-the-job training, and competency 
programs. Additionally, we develop local relationships and 
align with universities and national oil companies to further 
skills and awareness of opportunities within our industry. 
Our focus is to increase the percentage of our workforce 
and our leadership that is localized, and we have made 
tremendous progress on our goals through these efforts. 
Currently, 92% of our workforce and 86% of our managers 
are locals of the areas where they work.

Halliburton Opens a Mud Learning Lab at the University of Guyana

In 2021, as part of an ongoing commitment to 
promote our industry in Guyana, the Halliburton 
Guyana team — which includes Global Business 
Development, Landmark, and Baroid — launched the 
Mud Learning Lab at the University of Guyana. 

The team also provided a software grant that 
will enable students and lecturers to train on the 
DecisionSpace® suite of petrotechnical applications 
in drilling, geosciences, information management, 
and platform technology. This collaboration facilitates 
enhanced training for students of petroleum and 
geological engineering, chemistry, and earth and 
environmental sciences. Other aspects of the project 
include maintenance, training, and technical support 
for staff and student development. 

Our partnership with the university dates back 
to 2019 when we signed a memorandum of 
understanding (MOU) valued at $2 million. Under the 
MOU, we seek to transfer our knowledge, expertise, 
and technology to help develop local talent and, 
particularly, to invest in the future of the students 
who will one day be the leaders of the energy 
industry in Guyana and will shape the sustainability 
of the industry. 

In Guyana, Halliburton employs more than 50 
nationals working as full-time employees and 
more than 10 Guyanese Co-Op participants. With 
our Company’s investment and partnership with 
the University of Guyana, these figures will continue 
to grow.

All-Angolan Halliburton Team Successfully 
Completes Deepwater Openhole Logging 
Operation

Recently, the Wireline and Perforating Angola team 
successfully completed a deepwater openhole logging 
operation for a major international oil company in Angola. 
This project marked the first time that a crew comprising 
all Angolan nationals — two field engineers and four 
operators — serviced the rig. It was also the first time 
that an entirely local Angolan crew completed an openhole 
logging operation in Angolan deep water.

Investment in the Future

Recruitment

Through our Recruiting Inclusive Scholars in Energy 
(RISE) program, we support historically black colleges and 
universities (HBCU). As a result, we have deepened our 
diversity and inclusivity mission while building our pipeline 
of future talent. In Texas, Halliburton provided a $1 million 
scholarship fund to Prairie View A&M University. Over five 
years, this fund will support 72 scholarships for students 
of engineering, accounting, finance, and management 
information systems. We assign a Halliburton mentor 
to each scholarship recipient and offer professional 
development opportunities. We also invite scholarship 
recipients to join our internship program. Additionally, 
Halliburton is developing a relationship with Texas 
Southern University through charitable giving, career 
development support, and internships. 

Halliburton also supports initiatives to increase the 
representation of women in STEM roles. For Girl Day at The 
University of Texas at Austin, presented by the Women in 
Engineering Program (WEP), Halliburton provided financial 
support to give more than 8,000 female elementary 
and middle school students the opportunity to explore 
STEM roles through hands-on activities, videos, and 
demonstrations. Another event, the Halliburton Program 
for Women at Georgia Tech, serves to recruit and retain 
female engineering students in the academic program 
that produces the largest number of female engineering 
graduates in the U.S. Once the students arrive on  
campus, Halliburton assists them through mentorship  
and professional development opportunities.

Halliburton has recruiting programs in place at 
academic institutions for internships and entry-level 
roles. To carry out our recruiting activities, we have 
developed relationships with diversity-focused student 
organizations, provide professional development sessions 
to students, engage our ERGs to participate in select 
university events, and participate in outreach efforts 
through programs supported by our Educational  
Advisory Board. 

Halliburton prioritizes diversity because it creates a more 
diverse pipeline for sourcing entry-level roles. We give our 
interns the opportunity to interact with our ERGs so they 
understand our focus on diversity and inclusion. In the 
last two years, our percentage of total female interns has 
increased from 39% to 43%. During that same time, we 
have increased the percentage of female interns in field 
operations from 48% to nearly 67%.

In 2021, Halliburton remained well positioned in 
recruitment efforts despite the tight labor market. Our 
Global Talent Acquisition team engaged candidates in 
a variety of ways that included relationship building 
at universities, virtual career fairs, apprenticeship 
programs, employee referrals, and partnerships with local 
governments in their job candidate programs. We attracted 
candidates with clear career progression opportunities 
with a system that outlines the competencies and levels 
of proficiency required to advance within the Company. 
We also published job structures and salary bands for all 
positions globally, and published pay structures for the 
majority of countries where we operate, for transparency 
on job progression and associated compensation.

2021 HIGHLIGHTS

Halliburton Volunteers

Education

Inspiring Houston Students Through STEM

Halliburton volunteers attended a virtual GoIT event 
hosted by Tata Consultancy Services, Aldine Independent 
School District (ISD), and Humble ISD in Houston, Texas. 
At this event, organizers challenged students to design 
a STEM-oriented app to solve a specific issue in their 
community, based on the United Nations Sustainable 
Development Goals. As students formulated and prepared 
their ideas, our volunteers asked the students probing 
questions intended to sharpen their critical thinking skills,

engagement and social investment.

inspire new ideas, broaden perspectives, or hone details. 
Students then presented their ideas to a panel of judges.

Preparing for the First Day of School

Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Prep is a network of more 
than 20 high-performing public charter schools in the 
Houston, Texas, area that aims to boost the academic 
performance and success of children from underserved 
communities. In the weeks leading up to the first day of 
school at North Forest Elementary — and the first-ever 
day of school at this brand-new campus — Halliburton 
volunteers helped teachers and staff deliver books to 
classrooms, sort supplies, set up the library, and establish 
the car-rider-identification system so that the campus 
would be ready to welcome its first students. Shortly 
after the first day of school, Halliburton sponsored a 
catered lunch for teachers and staff in recognition 
of the important work they do in educating our 
community’s youth.

Leading a Summer Camp in China

Creating a Better School Environment  
in Egypt

Halliburton (China) Energy Services established the Hope 
Primary School, located in the suburbs of Lingjiangzhen 
Township, Cangxi County, Guangyuan City, Sichuan 
Province, in 2009. Over the summer, Halliburton volunteers 
led approximately 40 students in six grades through fun 
and educational camp activities. Our volunteers prepared 
lessons covering a wealth of topics that included cosmic 
exploration, geographic knowledge, Western festivals 
(Easter, Halloween, Christmas, and Thanksgiving), and 
sports activities.

Environment

Celebrating Earth Day and Sustainability 
Day Around the World

In Cairo, Egypt, we renovated Kattemaya Public School, 
which was in disrepair and deemed unsafe for children. 
Our team cleaned up the facility through the removal 
and proper disposal of all on-site waste. We then repaired 
and repainted walls and bathroom facilities, corrected 
electrical hazards, and installed landscaping in the 
garden. Now that the renovation is complete, children 
can once again attend school in a safe, clean, and more 
attractive environment.

volunteers and our Company’s financial gifts have 
contributed to the planting of approximately 2,000 trees. 

•   In the United Arab Emirates, Halliburton volunteers added 
greenery to common areas of our facilities; launched a 
campaign to encourage colleagues to consider how to 
reduce their consumption of electricity, water, and paper; 
recycled waste materials; and conducted a chemicals 
hazard hunt that involved reviewing packaging, SDSs, and 
emergency equipment for various hazards.

Globally, to mark Earth Day and Sustainability Day, 
our employees participated in various environmental 
initiatives, including:

•   In Deckers, Colorado, Halliburton volunteers worked with 
the National Forest Foundation to clean up trash along 
the South Platte River before the onset of winter. This 
initiative was part of many efforts to improve trails and 
recreation areas in the Denver area.

•   Halliburton volunteers in Houston, Texas, planted 25 
15-gallon trees at Lakeshore Elementary School. We 
completed this work in partnership with Trees For Houston, 
a nonprofit organization dedicated to planting, protecting, 
and promoting trees throughout the city. Since we began 
working with Trees For Houston in 2018, Halliburton 

•   In the municipality of Rennesoy, Norway, Halliburton 
volunteers spent a day cleaning up marine garbage, 
including plastics and netting, from the shoreline. The 
team removed several bags full of waste.

Specifically for Earth Day, Halliburton encouraged 
employees around the world to show us what they did for 
our environment to mark this occasion. We then created a 
video of their submissions.

Health and Safety 

Making Highly Specialized Medical Care 
Accessible to Underprivileged Children

Halliburton donated $33,845 to Deenanath Mangeshkar 
Hospital and Research Center in Pune, India, which 
provided underprivileged children with desperately 
needed medical care. These children suffer from life-
threatening conditions such as cancer and heart disease, 
as well as other complex medical conditions such as 
epilepsy, neonatal issues, and ortho deformities. Often, 
these conditions require prolonged treatments, including 
highly specialized surgeries. In 2021, our financial 
contribution helped 40 children obtain medical treatment. 
Since the program’s inception in 2015, Halliburton has 
helped 238 children.

Supporting Fire Safety in Oklahoma

In Comanche, Oklahoma, where brush fires are common 
on the open plains, Halliburton donated a retired truck 
to the Comanche Fire Department (CFD). This truck, 
previously used to haul acid to customer locations for 
acidizing treatments, has a 2,000-gallon tank with a liner 
to protect against corrosion. Our donation will help the 
CFD overcome key challenges. These firefighters, who are 
responsible for extinguishing brush fires and protecting 
people and property, primarily serve on a volunteer basis, 
which means that they often work with limited budgets 
and lack vehicles capable of traversing rough terrain. 
With this truck’s large storage capacity and off-road 
capabilities, the CFD can carry higher volumes of water to 
remote locations to put out brush fires more efficiently.

Social Services 

Delivering Meals to Food-Insecure People

Renovating a Community Center

Halliburton employees volunteered with the Houston Food 
Bank to help combat food insecurity in the community. 
Our volunteers inspected, sorted, and packaged food 
to create more than 12,000 meals. The Houston Food 
Bank is the largest food bank the U.S. in terms of size 
and distribution. It serves more than 1,800 community 
partners — including food pantries, soup kitchens, meal 
sites, and shelters — in 18 counties in Southeast Texas.

Our Houston-area employees also participated in the 2021 
Juice Box Challenge to support Kids’ Meals Inc.’s Summer 
Meal Program, which delivers meals to children living in food-
insecure homes. Employees donated 13,784 juice boxes and 
volunteered to help with the Kids’ Meals food distribution.

Our Company’s relationship with the Buckner Family Hope 
Center near our headquarters in Houston, Texas, dates 
back to 2009. Since then, we have donated more than 
$300,000 in support of this community center that offers 
after-school care, English as a Second Language (ESL) 
classes, parenting classes, a food pantry, a thrift store, 
and more. Recently, Halliburton made a financial donation 
to help cover renovation expenses for the facility — such 
as to pay for some cosmetic repairs and new furniture 
for children’s programming. Halliburton volunteers also 
painted the inside of two portable buildings, along with 
the kitchen and the children’s after-school room.

Raising Funds to Support Disadvantaged 
Children

Moving Beyond the Office Bubble in 
Aberdeen

69

The Halliburton Testing and Subsea (TSS) Team in Europe 
pledged to run or walk 621 miles to raise awareness and 
funds for Bauer Radio’s Cash for Kids Charities, a grant-
giving organization that helps disadvantaged children in 
the UK affected by poverty, illness, or neglect. The TSS 
team, located across the UK, Denmark, Italy, and Albania, 
agreed to do a walkathon, or a sponsored walk, that each 
team member could complete in their respective locations 
and share with family and friends. Using the Halliburton 
Community Impact Portal, the TSS team shared the 
fundraising opportunity worldwide and garnered the 
support of Halliburton employees internationally. 
Ultimately, the team covered 740 miles and raised nearly 
$1,500 for Cash for Kids.

Over the last year, the Halliburton Pipeline and Process 
Services (PPS) team in Aberdeen, Scotland, cultivated 
a close relationship with AberNecessities, a charity that 
focuses on families in Northeast Scotland who struggle 
with poverty — a problem only exacerbated by the 
pandemic and its resulting extended lockdowns in 
the UK.

PPS team members began their volunteer work with 
AberNecessities in November 2020 by helping to create 
Christmas parcels for families that might otherwise not be 
able to afford gifts. 

However, during the pandemic it soon became clear 
that demand was growing for everyday necessities such 
as baby formula, diapers, and toiletries. The PPS team, 
on their own initiative, hosted a Christmas raffle and 
auctioned a signed Aberdeen football jersey donated 
by football legend Stewart McKimmie, the father of 
Halliburton employee Melissa McKimmie. These 
activities raised $2,287. Halliburton employees 
also assisted AberNecessities with the move into their 
new facility by volunteering as painters, gardeners, ride-
on mower operators, van drivers, and other critical roles.

The desire to transfer some of their energy into an 
important community cause and make a difference is how 
the team formed the “Beyond the Office Bubble” initiative. 

Now, the PPS team is generating more interest throughout 
Halliburton Europe to support this cause. The team 
has planned a black-tie anniversary fundraiser for 
AberNecessities in October 2022.

At Zanesville High School in Zanesville, Ohio, Halliburton 
launched the Challenge Program to improve students’ 
academic performance and to generate excitement 
about their potential in a future STEM career. In this 
program, students must meet certain academic marks. 
Halliburton selects winners in five categories: attendance, 
STEM, community service, academic improvement, 
and academic excellence. The winners receive a $500 
scholarship to use at the school of their choice. Since 
the program’s introduction in 2016, Halliburton has 
contributed more than $20,000.

Helping Protect Surrounding Communities 
from an Active Volcano in the Caribbean

Halliburton supports the University of the West Indies 
(UWI) Seismic Research Centre, which is the agency 
responsible for monitoring earthquakes and volcanoes in 
the English-speaking islands of the Eastern Caribbean, 
including Trinidad and Tobago. For more than 60 years,  
the Centre has operated the largest earthquake- and 
volcano-monitoring initiative in the Caribbean, and 
promotes geologic hazard awareness, contingency 
planning for natural disasters, and development of early-
warning systems. 

Prompted by the La Soufrière volcano’s sudden return  
to activity on the island of St. Vincent, Halliburton  
donated three borehole tiltmeters to the Centre to bolster 
ongoing monitoring of the volcano. Installed along the 
flanks of the volcano, the tiltmeters capture and deliver 
data in near real time to the Centre’s observatory. The 
tiltmeters will improve sensitivity to magma movement, 
and the information yielded will facilitate faster response 
times to deformation changes and also advance early-
warning capabilities.

The Halliburton Landmark University Grant Program (UGP) 
offers Landmark software licenses free of charge to 
academic institutions for learning, teaching, and research. 
The software grants are evergreen with three-year 
renewable terms and include software maintenance and 
technical support. 

Halliburton awarded multimillion-dollar educational 
software grants to three public universities in 
Algeria (University of Science and Technology Houari 
Boumediene, University of Boumerdes, and University of 
Ouargla); Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS in Malaysia; and 
The Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources 
at West Virginia University. These grants support the 
education and development of students pursuing careers 
in the oil and gas industry.

Through these grants, the UGP aims to facilitate teaching 
and research by enabling students and academics to 
interpret multi-disciplinary datasets using industry-
leading software. Landmark hopes to strengthen the 
relationship between industry and academia, promote 
the uptake of Landmark’s software, and equip future 
generations with the skill sets required to solve real-
world challenges. More than 150 academic institutions 
worldwide benefit from this program. 

The Halliburton Technology team hosted a series of 
virtual events with students at Imam Abdulrahman Bin 
Faisal University in Saudi Arabia. During these events, we 
shared our knowledge and experience with students to 
encourage them to pursue STEM careers, boost retention 
rates in technical disciplines, and develop business and 
leadership skills. Our Company’s experts also discussed 
various topics, including safety and security, soft skills, 
project management, and other subjects relevant to our 
business and the oil and gas industry.

Corporate Giving 

Halliburton provides support to our local communities 
through cash donations and in-kind goods and services, 
which, in 2021, equaled approximately $2.5 billion.

Giving Choices

Each year, Halliburton employees around the world pledge 
money to their charities of choice through our annual 
workplace giving program, Giving Choices. With each 
employee’s pledge, Halliburton provides a 10% matching 
gift. During our 2021 Giving Choices campaign, employees 
donated more than $778,000 to nonprofit organizations 
around the world.

The incredible breadth of our operations 
and diversity of our workforce embodies our 
Company’s respect for the human rights and 
dignity of all people. Halliburton supports 
universal human rights, as defined by the United 
Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 
To that end, we comply with all applicable 
employment laws, adhere to fair and ethical 
employment practices, and incorporate human 
rights into our policies on health, safety, and 
security. To read more about our beliefs and 
practices around human rights, including

2021 HIGHLIGHTS

Human Rights in the Supply Chain

To better screen suppliers for potential human rights risks 
and abuses, Halliburton launched two internally developed 
tools to complement our new digital supplier management 
system. These tools include: 

•   Our human rights dashboard, which evaluates suppliers’ 
risk at the product category, country, and spend level. 
This information can identify areas that require more 
detailed follow-up.

•   A more detailed human rights questionnaire that we 
tailor to individual suppliers and their risk levels. The 
questionnaire asks about topics such as forced labor, 
child labor, migrant and contract workers, bonded labor, 
prison labor, subcontractors, and labor brokers, as well 
as policies surrounding due diligence, training, working 
hours, recruitment fees, physical punishment, freedom 
of movement, and use of security personnel.

New and Emerging Human Rights 
Regulations

Halliburton complies with evolving regulations such as the 
UK Modern Slavery Act and the newly introduced Australia 
Modern Slavery Act, both of which require companies 
to disclose information on efforts to eradicate human 
trafficking and modern slavery from their business and 
global supply chains, including steps taken and controls

and Norway requirements. As more countries debut 
human rights legislation, we will respond and confirm 
alignment with our policies and practices.

access to current information on community capacity.  
As a result, we added numerous indigenous contractors to 
Halliburton’s supply chain. 

Additionally, Halliburton employees engaged with 
indigenous communities in a variety of ways: 

•  Leader-to-leader meetings

•  Celebration events for career training programs

•  Broad discussions with representatives from indigenous 
communities on how to foster long-term partnerships

•  Establishment of our Indigenous Community Investment 
Program, aligned with the Halliburton Pillars of Giving

Lastly, we hired an indigenous and community relations 
manager with 25 years of experience to help us ensure 
we execute our indigenous inclusion strategy and form 
sustainable, mutually beneficial relationships.

Throughout the year, Halliburton met with customers to 
inform them of our strategy and the progress we have 
made, and to discuss opportunities for collaboration.

In 2022, we will expand our relationship-building efforts to 
more communities, while further enhancing our economic 
inclusion, cultural awareness training, and engagement 
with our customers.

Indigenous Inclusion Strategy

In 2021, building upon the 2020 development and initiation 
of our Indigenous Inclusion Strategy, Halliburton’s senior 
leadership team focused on improving indigenous 
inclusion and awareness throughout all facets of 
our Company and in our business relationships. This 
commitment led to the creation of our Indigenous 
Inclusion Leadership Steering Committee, which consists 
of a diverse group of individuals who are passionate about 
this initiative. This committee meets regularly to track 
progress and provide direction. 

First, we collaborated with experts to develop a cultural 
awareness program that reaches employees in the 
field, office, or at home through virtual training or 
full-day sessions.

Second, we established a supply-chain-led Economic 
Inclusion Working Group to help us increase our number 
of indigenous suppliers and contractors. We assessed 
Halliburton’s contracting requirements and aligned them 
with indigenous community capacity. We then created 
and launched a repository of indigenous contractors in 
our operating areas, giving decision-makers on contracts
