Economic Moat

Halliburton has a narrow economic moat

No Moat Narrow Wide

Patented tools make parts of Halliburton’s offering difficult to copy, while equipment installed inside wells makes replacing it disruptive and expensive. These protections are strongest in specialized work rather than routine services, where customers have more alternatives.

Intangible Assets

Halliburton’s patents protect designs and processes used in drilling and completing wells, preventing rivals from simply copying those inventions. Protection is spread across its technology portfolio rather than resting on a single patent.

High Switching Costs

Halliburton’s SmartWell systems connect valves, sensors and controls installed inside a well to manage production throughout its life. This creates a practical replacement barrier: moving to incompatible rival equipment could require costly work inside the well and interrupt production.

2 risks to watch
