Halliburton’s major business segment is the Energy Services Group, which provides technical products and services for petroleum and natural gas exploration and production.

Halliburton also provides equipment and services to aid companies in evaluating new drilling opportunities, as well as cementing services post-drilling.
The Halliburton Company was the cementing contractor on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico when the explosion and subsequent oil spill occurred in April 2010. A Wall Street Journal investigation reported that BP skipped a quality test of the cement around the pipe, a buffer against explosive gas. According to documents that had been provided to congressional investigators, Halliburton had advised BP that they needed to install numerous devices to ensure that their pipe was centered prior to pumping. On April 18, Halliburton sent a report to BP that warned them that they would have "a SEVERE gas glow problem" if they chose to not use more centering devices. Unfortunately, BP only installed 5 of the recommended 21 devices. Halliburton said that it followed BP’s instructions, and that while some “were not consistent with industry best practices,” they were “within acceptable industry standards.” Halliburton had 4 employees on the rig. All were evacuated by the U.S. Coast Guard.
