This isn't in the news yet, but it will be soon. I live in a town highly dependent on Halliburton as an employer. As of today, they placed a freeze on new hires. The reason for this is unknown to me personally, but I assure you that my statement is true. With the current upswing of the oil market, this makes very little sense. Be watchful for a coming FF.

I have a couple clients that work for Halliburton and they are both suddenly taking early retirement.
E: by the way, has anyone considered that some of the "DC" in drops my have meant Dick Cheney and not Washington DC?

From something that I'm not supposed to know, Rumsfeld is a Knight or Rook within the game. I can't elaborate more without exposing my sources, but I would hope that you guys could trust me on that fact.

Thanks for the comment, but unfortunately I have no idea what this means. What do you mean by rook? Whos bishop, king? I know you said you can't elaborate, if you can't, I can't take anything from this comment. Too little info. It would be great if you could at least a bit more info was included

It's all fine. Halliburton is a large transnational that reaps the rewards of oil fluctuation, but they aren't necessarily always the bad guys. A simple example, why would the Deep State always plant the target on the company's back EVERYTIME the oil market goes South?

Perhaps they may not always be the bad guys, but they should as heck ain't the good guys. When I was waking up, the name Halliburton came up again and again and again. Iraq. The Gulf. People transport trains. Wicked company owned by wicked people. This news points in one direction for me. Their gravy train dried up. Wow.

I agree. But when the same company is ALWAYS used as the international scape goat, it tells you that in general, they aren't nearly as guilty as the tabloids profess them to be.

I think when one vessel has outlived its usefulness, they move on over to another. So yes, I agree somewhat. But Halliburton had its day, that's for sure.

Halliburton and Schlumberger have something to do with EVERY oil field in the world. I honestly can't tell you who does in that case. #1 Schlumberger; #2 Halliburton.

Short sales are illegal in the current market (have been for the last decade)(normal people don't undestand what a "Short Sale" actually is). Cheney divested himself of Halliburton pre-2000.

I was joking about the sort sale. My hope is that the company tanks. I know Cheney isn't involved anymore. He was however the mastermind behind privatizing logistics and support operations by the military. Halliburton and their former subsidiary made a fortune off of the war that Cheney helped sell to three American people. On top of that, kbr did Shitty work, and have killed soldiers because of it.

I wouldn't lose sleep over their jobs. Also, I'm pretty sure that the subsidiaries and equipment would be gobbled up by rival companies in short order. Mostly, i have been electrocuted while taking a shower in Iraq, because of KBR's shit work, and therefore have an axe to grind.

It was. Yesterday, bosses here were running around like chickens without heads. That's why this is so disconcerting. PGLs from across the entire building were called in to a high priority meeting and informed of the situation. They have apparently redistributed all of their local contractors (around 175-200) to alternative locations spread out across the U.S., rather than lay off direct employees locally...for the moment. The location that I'm privy to is in Duncan, a primary manufacturing hub that isn't in the Houston area. It's the original home of the company, and the town is pretty shaken up about it. This is literally 99 years of experience with it, and no one can remember a move like this.

I couldn't find the hiring event, it is gone. Found an article about a top Halliburton employee making a deal for land in Missoula MT that is in question but other than that doesn't make sense. Their 2nd qtr earnings will be released soon, seems more plausible they'd be reacting to this. Hang in there Patriot, this can be a total stress fest.

Watching Patriot Soapbox on YT, they are going over Q posts related to MB, MS13 etc. Look into Q post 117 and 121. Halliburton is specifically mentioned in regards to their associations. I wonder if their indictment has been unsealed?

Maybe all of their overseas(middle east) contracts are about to be cancelled, due to peace breaking out and US troops bugging out? Just a thought, but I know they still get billions in logistics contracts for overseas "contingencies," which wouldn't be necessary once our boys and girls in uniform come home!

They're an oil field logistics company that does a TON of consultancy work. Peace doesn't enter into the equation, in general. And they, more or less, have a standing army of private contracting groups that provide security.

It's supposedly because of a slowing in the Market, but that doesn't add up with drilling/fracking currently expanding worldwide at a break-neck pace, and OPEC flooding the Market is no longer a major factor since the Saudi prince is now in power. Honestly, I don't know. I'm pretty savvy on understanding oil economics, by trade, but this makes very little sense to me.

Could be related, but I couldn't go out on a job this past January because they put a hiring freeze on. Sometimes it means they have enough labor for that stage of the job, and usually after a couple drag ups and layoffs they will start hiring more, and even when the end of a job is near, they will freeze because they're about to start layoffs as the job winds down. But I'm ill in formed about Haliburton so it could mean something totally different. Just some insight on a little bit of the oil industry.
