Halliburton Co (HAL) HAL Is Bullish on North America 21 April 2014 ¦ 20 pages ir.citi.com
In contrast to the cautious optimism communicated by SLB and BHI with respect to the North America market outlook, HAL went much further. CEO Dave Lesar said today that he feels the momentum turning positive and he can actually see it happening. Although its U.S. operations were impacted by severe weather in January and February, HAL saw a burst of activity in March and this has carried over into April. Hydraulic fracturing capacity tightened faster than expected and HAL now believes that it will be working at full utilization through the rest of the year. Average job size is increasing and average fluid volume pumped per well is up 30% in 2014.

But what signs of softening activity? Order intake year-to-date for the Services industry suggests 1H14 will be a record.
