HALLIBURTON COMPANY
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)


Note 1. Basis of Presentation


The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information or notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements and should be read together with our 20162022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Our accounting policies are in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with these accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect:
-the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and
-the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

Ultimate results could differ from our estimates.


In our opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023 and the results of our operations for the three and ninesix months endedSeptember June 30, 20172023 and 2016,2022, and our cash flows for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 and 2016.2022. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. In addition, certain reclassifications of prior period balances have been made to conform to the current period presentation.

The results of our operations for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 may not be indicative of results for the full year.


Note 2. Business Segment and Geographic Information


We operate under two divisions, which form the basis for the two operating segments we report: the Completion and Production segment and the Drilling and Evaluation segment. Intersegment revenue was immaterial. Our equity in earnings and losses of unconsolidated affiliates that are accounted for using the equity method of accounting are included within cost of services and cost of sales on our statements of operations, which is part of operating income of the applicable segment.

(a)Includes certain expenses not attributable to a business segment, such as costs related to support functions, corporate executives, and operating lease assets, and also includes amortization expense associated with intangible assets recorded as a result of acquisitions.
(b)For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 respectively, the amounts include $131 million and $136 million charges attributable to Completions and Production, and $178 million and $195 million charges attributable to Drilling and Evaluation. Both periods include a $35 million charge attributable to Corporate and other.
(c)The Central Bank of Argentina maintains currency controls that limit our ability to access U.S. dollars in Argentina and remit cash from our Argentine operations. Our execution of certain trades, known as Blue Chip Swaps, which effectively results in a parallel U.S. dollar exchange rate, resulted in a $104 million pre-tax loss during the second quarter of 2023.

Note 3. Revenue

Revenue is recognized based on the transfer of control or our customers' ability to benefit from our services and products in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those services and products. Most of our service and product contracts are short-term in nature. In recognizing revenue for our services and products, we determine the transaction price of purchase orders or contracts with our customers, which may consist of fixed and variable consideration. We also assess our customers' ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors, including our historical payment experience with, and the financial condition of, our customers. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 20 to 60 days. Other judgments involved in recognizing revenue include an assessment of progress towards completion of performance obligations for certain long-term contracts, which involve estimating total costs to determine our progress towards contract completion and calculating the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize.

Disaggregation of revenue
We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into types of services or products, consistent with our two reportable segments, in addition to geographical area. Based on the location of services provided and products sold, 46% and 44%of our consolidated revenue was from the United States for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. No other country accounted for more than 10% of our revenue.

Contract balances
We perform our obligations under contracts with our customers by transferring services and other includes certain expensesproducts in exchange for consideration. The timing of our performance often differs from the timing of our customer’s payment, which results in the recognition of receivables and deferred revenue. Deferred revenue represents advance consideration received from customers for contracts where revenue is recognized on future performance of service. Deferred revenue, as well as revenue recognized during the period relating to amounts included as deferred revenue at the beginning of the period, was not attributablematerial to a particular business segmentour condensed consolidated financial statements.

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent firm contracts for which work has not been performed and future revenue recognition is expected. We have elected the practical expedient permitting the exclusion of disclosing remaining performance obligations for contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less. We have some long-term contracts related to software and integrated project management services such as costs relatedlump sum turnkey contracts. For software contracts, revenue is generally recognized over time throughout the license period when the software is considered to support functions and corporate executives. Other items include amortization expense associated with intangible assets recorded asbe a result ofright to access our acquisitions in the third quarter of 2017 and merger-related costs and termination fee incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.intellectual property. For lump sum turnkey projects, we recognize revenue over time using an input method, which requires us to exercise judgment. Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations for these long-term contracts is not material.


Receivables
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, 43%2023, 35% of our grossnet trade receivables were from customers in the United States and 9%11% were from customers in Venezuela.Mexico. As of December 31, 2016, 28%2022, 38% of our grossnet trade receivables were from customers in the United States and 15%11% were from customers in Venezuela. Other thanMexico. Receivables from our primary customer in Mexico accounted for approximately 9% of our total receivables as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. While we have experienced payment delays from our primary customer in Mexico, the United Statesamounts are not in dispute and Venezuela, nowe have not historically had, and we do not expect, any material write-offs due to collectability of receivables from this customer. No other country or single customer accounted for more than 10% of our grossnet trade receivables at thesethose dates.


We have risk of delayed customer payments and payment defaults associated with customer liquidity issues. We routinely monitor the financial stability of our customers and employ an extensive process to evaluate the collectability of outstanding receivables. This process, which involves a high degree of judgment utilizing significant assumptions, includes analysis of our customers’ historical time to pay, financial condition and various financial metrics, debt structure, credit agency ratings, and production profile, as well as political and economic factors in countries of operations and other customer-specific factors.


Venezuela. Although we have continued to experience delays in collecting payments on our receivables from our primary customer in Venezuela, our outstanding receivables are not disputed, and we continue to believe that they are collectable, with appropriate classification between short-term and long-term on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. In assessing the collectability of these receivables, we considered our historical collection experience with this customer, including both payments received prior to the industry downturn and continued collections at reduced levels during the downturn, and the fact that we have not historically had material write-offs relating to this customer. We also took into account the continued importance to the Venezuelan economy of oil production, our strategic relationship with this customer, our current activity levels and our current intention to continue to provide services to this customer, and an evaluation of this customer’s financial solvency. We also incorporated assumptions regarding potential future events based on market pricing data points. We are actively managing our relationship with this customer, with ongoing dialogue between key executives of both companies, including discussions regarding this customer's intention to pay long-aged trade receivables.
HAL Q2 2023 FORM 10-Q | 7


In the second quarter of 2016, we exchanged $200 million of accounts receivables with our primary customer in Venezuela for an interest-bearing promissory note with a par value of the same amount. We recognized a pre-tax loss on the exchange of $148 million, representing the difference between the par value and fair market value of the note. We are accreting the carrying amount of the note to its par value and the carrying amount of this note is $116 million as of September 30, 2017. Although this customer has made all scheduled interest payments on the note, they did not make the first scheduled principal payment in the third quarter of 2017, which they informed us was due to banking complications. We continue to have discussions with this customer regarding the delay, and they have confirmed their intention to make the payment. While we believe that our customer will make all required payments on this note, further delays in payment on this promissory note or defaults on the customer's indebtedness to other parties may lead to a default on this promissory note. This would result in an impairment charge on the existing carrying amount of this note and potentially further charges on other receivables with this customer, which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In the second quarter of 2017, we made a decision to exchange an additional $375 million of outstanding accounts receivable with this customer for an interest-bearing promissory note with a par value of the same amount. We recognized a pre-tax loss of $262 million for a fair market value adjustment related to this exchange within "Impairments and other charges" on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. While this exchange has not been finalized, we continue to pursue this transaction in accordance with applicable law. Although we recognized fair value adjustments, we intend to hold both notes to maturity and collect the entire principal amounts. We do not intend to accept further notes as payment if offered, and we will continue to monitor political and economic conditions in Venezuela.

We have collected over $600 million on receivables in Venezuela since this industry downturn began in late 2014. We believe our collectability assumptions to be reasonable according to the current facts and circumstances. However, differences in actual experience or changes in facts and circumstances may materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Our assumptions and related judgments are sensitive to the political and economic conditions in Venezuela. If conditions in Venezuela worsen or if low commodity prices persist for an extended period of time, we may be required to record adjustments to our receivables balance. Our financial results can be affected by adjustments to these receivables, including any allowance for bad debts, actual write-offs of uncollectable amounts that differ from estimated amounts, fair value adjustments on existing receivables, and potential defaults on the promissory notes we hold.

Subsequent to the fair market value adjustment associated with the additional promissory note exchange, our total outstanding net trade receivables in Venezuela were $429 million as of September 30, 2017, compared to $610 million as of

December 31, 2016. The majority of our Venezuela receivables are United States dollar-denominated receivables. Of the $429 million of receivables in Venezuela as of September 30, 2017, $267 million have been classified as long-term and included within “Other assets” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 7 for additional information about the promissory notes and Part II, Item 1(a), “Risk Factors” for additional information on risks associated with our operations in Venezuela, including recent sanctions imposed in Venezuela which could delay our ability to execute the promissory note exchange.

Note 3.4. Inventories


Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. In the United States, we manufacture certain finished products and parts inventories for drill bits, completion products, bulk materials and other tools that are recorded using the last-in, first-out method, which totaled $167 million as of September 30, 2017 and $133 million as of December 31, 2016. If the average cost method had been used, total inventories would have been $25 million higher than reported as of September 30, 2017 and $16 million higher as of December 31, 2016. The cost of the remaining inventory was recorded using the average cost method. Inventories consisted of the following:

Note 5. Accounts Payable

Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted new supplier finance program disclosure requirements contained in guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (ASU 2022-04, "Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations"), other than the roll-forward disclosure, which we will adopt at the beginning of 2024.

We have agreements with third parties that allow our participating suppliers to finance payment obligations from us with designated third-party financial institutions who act as our paying agent. We have generally extended our payment terms with suppliers to 90 days. A participating supplier may request a participating financial institution to finance one or more of our payment obligations to such supplier prior to the scheduled due date thereof at a discounted price. We are not required to provide collateral to the financial institutions.

Our obligations to participating suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by the suppliers’ decisions to finance amounts due under these financing arrangements. Our outstanding payment obligations under these agreements were $324 million as of June 30, 2023, and $273 million as of December 31, 2022, and are included in accounts payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 6. Income Taxes

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a total income tax provision of $167 million on a pre-tax income of $783 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.3% for the quarter. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a total income tax provision of $114 million on a pre-tax income of $231 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 49.3% for the quarter. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was lower than the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to the impact on our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 of the decision to sell our Russian operations and a corresponding increase in the valuation allowance on foreign tax credits.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a total income tax provision of $341 million on a pre-tax income of $1.6 billion, resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.1% for the period. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a total income tax provision of $182 million on a pre-tax income of $563 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 32.2% for the period. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was lower than the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to the impact on our effective tax rate for the first six months of 2022 of the decision to sell our Russian operations and a corresponding increase in the valuation allowance on foreign tax credits.

Note 5.8. Commitments and Contingencies


Macondo well incident
The semisubmersible drilling rig, Deepwater Horizon, sank on April 22, 2010 after an explosionCompany is subject to various legal or governmental proceedings, claims or investigations, including personal injury, property damage, environmental, intellectual property, commercial, tax, and fire onboard the rig that began on April 20, 2010. The Deepwater Horizon was owned by an affiliate of Transocean Ltd. and had been drilling the Macondo exploration wellother matters arising in the Gulfordinary course of Mexico forbusiness, the lease operator, BP Exploration & Production, Inc. (BP). We performed a variety of services on that well for BP. Numerous lawsuits relating to the Macondo well incident and alleging damages arising from the blowout were filed against various parties, including BP, Transocean and us, in federal and state courts throughout the United States, mostresolution of which, were consolidated in a Multi District Litigation proceeding (MDL) in the United States Eastern Districtopinion of Louisiana. The defendants in the MDL proceeding filed a variety of cross claims against each other.
The trial for the first phase of the MDL proceeding occurred in February 2013 through April 2013 and covered issues arising out of the conduct and degree of culpability of various parties. In September 2014, the MDL court ruled that, among other things, (1) in relation to the Macondo well incident, BP’s conduct was reckless, Transocean’s conduct was negligent, and our conduct was negligent, (2) fault for the Macondo well incident was apportioned 67% to BP, 30% to Transocean and 3% to us, and (3) the indemnity and release clauses in our contract with BP are valid and enforceable against BP. The MDL court did not find that our conduct was grossly negligent, thereby eliminating our exposure in the MDL for punitive damages.

In September 2014, we reached an agreement, subject to court approval, to settle a substantial portion of the plaintiffs’ claims asserted against us relating to the Macondo well incident (our MDL Settlement) for an aggregate of $1.1 billion. The Court issued final approval of our MDL Settlement and the period for appeal has expired. On May 20, 2015, we and BP entered into an agreement to resolve all remaining claims against each other, and pursuant to which BP will defend and indemnify us in future trials for compensatory damages. We have also entered into an agreement with Transocean to dismiss all claims made against each other. All of our payments with respect to our MDL Settlement have been made. We believe that there is no additional material financial exposure to us in relation to the Macondo well incident.

Securities and related litigation
In June 2002, a class action lawsuit was commenced against us in federal court alleging violations of the federal securities laws in connection with our change in accounting for revenue on long-term construction projects and related disclosures. In the weeks that followed, approximately twenty similar class actions were filed against us. The class action cases were later consolidated, and the amended consolidated class action complaint was filed and served upon us in April 2003. In June 2003, the plaintiffs filed a second amended consolidated complaint that included claims arising out of our 1998 acquisition of Dresser Industries, Inc. and our disclosures and reserves relating to our asbestos liability exposure.

In December 2016, we reached an agreement in principle to settle this lawsuit, without any admission of liability and subject to approval by the district court. During the second quarter of 2017, we paid approximately $54 million of the $100 million settlement fund, and our insurer paid the balance. On July 31, 2017, the district court issued final approval of the settlement. Plaintiff’s counsel fees and costs will be awarded from the settlement fund.

The settlement resolves all pending cases other than Magruder v. Halliburton Co., et. al. (the Magruder case). The allegations arise out of the same general events described above, but for a later class period, December 8, 2001 to May 28, 2002. There has been limited activity in the Magruder case. In March 2009, our motion to dismiss was granted, with leave to re-plead; in March 2012, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint and in May 2012, we filed another motion to dismiss, which remains pending. We cannot predict the outcome or consequences of this case, which we intend to vigorously defend.

Investigations
In December 2010, we received an anonymous e-mail alleging that certain current and former employees violated our Code of Business Conduct (COBC) and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), principally through the use of an Angolan vendor to satisfy local content requirements. We notified the Department of Justice (DOJ) and initiated an internal investigation. The investigation was later expanded to include unrelated matters concerning a third-party customs agent in Angola and third-party customs and visa agents in Iraq. The DOJ and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also conducted investigations into these matters and we cooperated in those investigations.

In June 2017, we reached a preliminary understanding with the SEC staff to resolve the SEC's investigation. On July 27, 2017, the Commissioners of the SEC formally approved this settlement. To settle the investigation, we, without admitting or denying any of the factual findings, have consented to the entry of an administrative order stating that in connection with the use of a local content provider in Angola, we violated the books and records and internal controls provisions of the FCPA. In the third quarter of 2017, we made a total payment of approximately $29 million for disgorgement, prejudgment interest, and a civil penalty, and agreed to engage an independent consultant to review aspects of our compliance program in Africa.

Separately, the DOJ advised us that it has completed its investigation andmanagement, will not be taking any action regarding these matters.

Environmental
We are subject to numerous environmental, legal and regulatory requirements related to our operations worldwide. In the United States, these laws and regulations include, among others:
-the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act;
-the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act;
-the Clean Air Act;
-the Federal Water Pollution Control Act;
-the Toxic Substances Control Act; and
-the Oil Pollution Act.

In addition to the federal laws and regulations, states and other countries where we do business often have numerous environmental, legal, and regulatory requirements by which we must abide. We evaluate and address the environmental impact of our operations by assessing and remediating contaminated properties in order to avoid future liabilities and comply with environmental, legal and regulatory requirements. Our Health, Safety and Environment group has several programs in place to maintain environmental leadership and to help prevent the occurrence of environmental contamination. On occasion we are involved in environmental litigation and claims, including the remediation of properties we own or have operated, as well as efforts to meet or correct compliance-related matters. We do not expect costs related to those claims and remediation requirements to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position. Our accrued liabilities for environmental matters were $44 millionThere is inherent risk in any legal or governmental proceeding, claim or investigation, and no assurance can be given as to the outcome of September 30, 2017 and $50 million as of December 31, 2016. Because our estimated liability is typically within a range and our accrued liability may be the amount on the low end of that range, our actual liability could eventually be well in excess of the amount accrued. Our total liability related to environmental matters covers numerous properties.these proceedings.

Additionally, we have subsidiaries that have been named as potentially responsible parties along with other third parties for seven federal and state Superfund sites for which we have established reserves. As of September 30, 2017, those seven sites accounted for approximately $3 million of our $44 million total environmental reserve. Despite attempts to resolve these Superfund matters, the relevant regulatory agency may at any time bring suit against us for amounts in excess of the amount accrued. With respect to some Superfund sites, we have been named a potentially responsible party by a regulatory agency; however, in each of those cases, we do not believe we have any material liability. We also could be subject to third-party claims with respect to environmental matters for which we have been named as a potentially responsible party.


Guarantee arrangements
In the normal course of business, we have in place agreements with financial institutions under which approximately $2.0$2.2 billion of letters of credit, bank guarantees, or surety bonds were outstanding as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2023. Some of the outstanding letters of credit have triggering events that would entitle a bank to require cash collateralization. None of these off balanceoff-balance sheet arrangements either has, or is likely to have, a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.



Note 6.9. Income per Share


Basic income or loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share includes additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common shares with a dilutive effect had been issued. Antidilutive sharessecurities represent potential common sharespotentially dilutive securities which are excluded from the computation of diluted income or loss per share as their impact would bewas antidilutive.

Note 7.10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

At September 30, 2017, we held $105 million of investments in fixed income securities with maturities ranging from less than one year to September 2020, of which $66 million are classified as “Other current assets” and $39 million are classified as “Other assets” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2016, we also held $92 million of investments in fixed income securities. These securities consist primarily of corporate bonds and other debt instruments, are accounted for as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value on quoted prices for identical assets in less active markets, which are categorized within level 2 on the fair value hierarchy.

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we held an interest-bearing promissory note with our primary customer in Venezuela with a par value of $200 million. The initial fair value of the promissory note of $52 million was based on pricing data points for similar assets in an illiquid market and is categorized within level 3 on the fair value hierarchy. We are using an effective interest method to accrete the carrying amount to its par value as it matures. This accretion income is being recorded through “Interest expense, net of interest income” on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2017, the carrying amount of this promissory note was $116 million, consisting of a current portion of $92 million and non-current portion of $24 million, which are classified as “Receivables” and “Other assets,” respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Although this customer has made all scheduled interest payments on the note, they did not make the first scheduled principal payment in the third quarter of 2017, which they informed us was due to banking complications. We continue to have discussions with this customer regarding the delay, and they have confirmed their intention to make the payment. As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of this note approximates its initial fair value, which is lower than its carrying amount. However, we continue to hold this note to maturity and account for it under an accretion model as we believe that our customer will make all required payments. Accordingly, we do not believe any write-downs of this note are appropriate at this time. We will continue to monitor conditions in Venezuela and assess the value of this note going forward. The carrying amount as of December 31, 2016 was $70 million, which approximated its fair value.

During the second quarter of 2017, we made a decision to exchange an additional $375 million of our accounts receivable with our primary customer in Venezuela for an additional interest-bearing promissory note with a par value of the same amount. We recognized a pre-tax loss of $262 million for a fair market value adjustment related to this exchange. We determined fair value based on pricing data points for similar notes in an illiquid market which is categorized within level 3 on the fair value hierarchy. While this exchange has not been finalized, we continue to pursue this transaction in accordance with applicable law. See Note 2 for further discussion.


We maintain an interest rate management strategy that is intended to mitigate the exposure to changes in interest rates in the aggregate for our debt portfolio. We use interest rate swaps to effectively convert a portion of our fixed rate debt to floating LIBOR-based rates. Our interest rate swaps, which expire when the underlying debt matures, are designated as fair value hedges of the underlying debt and are determined to be highly effective. These derivative instruments are marked to market with gains and losses recognized currently in interest expense to offset the respective gains and losses recognized on changes in the fair value of the hedged debt. During the first quarter of 2017, we terminated a series of our interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $1.4 billion in conjunction with our early redemption of senior notes. We included the gain from the swap termination in our calculation of early debt extinguishment costs. As of September 30, 2017, we had one remaining interest rate swap relating to one of our debt instruments with a total notional amount of $100 million. The fair value of our interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are included in “Other assets” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and were immaterial. The fair value of our interest rate swaps are categorized within level 2 on the fair value hierarchy and were determined using an income approach model with inputs, such as the notional amount, LIBOR rate spread and settlement terms that are observable in the market or can be derived from or corroborated by observable data.


The carrying amount of cash and equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable, as reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, approximates fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments.


The carrying amount and fair value of our total debt, including short-term borrowings and current maturities of long-term debt, is as follows:

Note 8. New Accounting Pronouncements

Part I. Item 2 | Executive Overview
Standards adopted in 2017

Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2017, we adopted an accounting standards update issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) which simplifies several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and the classification on the statement of cash flows. In addition, the update allows an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. The element of the update that has the most impact on our financial statements is income tax consequences. Excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies on stock-based compensation awards are now included in our tax provision within our condensed consolidated statement of operations as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur, rather than previous accounting of recording in additional paid-in capital on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We have also elected to continue our current policy of estimating forfeitures of stock-based compensation awards at the time of grant and revising in subsequent periods to reflect actual forfeitures. We applied the update prospectively beginning January 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets
On January 1, 2017, we adopted an accounting standards update issued by the FASB to improve the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. The update requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs, rather than the previous requirement to defer recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset had been sold to an outside party. Two common examples of assets included in the scope of this update are intellectual property and property, plant and equipment. The update was applied on a modified retrospective basis resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment of $384 million recorded directly to retained earnings as of January 1, 2017.

Inventory
On January 1, 2017, we adopted an accounting standards update issued by the FASB which simplifies the measurement of inventory. The update now requires inventory measured using the first in, first out or average cost methods to be subsequently measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable cost of completion, disposal and transportation. The update eliminated the requirement to subsequently measure inventory at the lower of cost or market, which could be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. The adoption of this update did not impact our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Standards not yet adopted

Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the new guidance is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard creates a five step model that requires companies to exercise judgment when considering the terms of a contract and all relevant facts and circumstances. The standard allows for several transition methods: (a) a full retrospective adoption in which the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or (b) a modified retrospective adoption in which the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements with a cumulative-effect adjustment reflected in retained earnings. The standard also requires significantly expanded disclosures regarding the qualitative and quantitative information of an entity's nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This new revenue recognition standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period.

We performed a detailed review of our contract portfolio representative of our different businesses and compared historical accounting policies and practices to the new standard. Because the standard will impact our business processes, systems and controls, we also developed a comprehensive change management project plan to guide the implementation. Over the course of 2017, we have conducted training sessions for those in our global organization that will be impacted by the new standard and have developed a web-based training course providing a detailed overview of the key changes within the new standard. Our services are primarily short-term in nature, and we do not expect the new revenue recognition standard will have a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption. We will adopt the new standard utilizing the modified retrospective method that will result in a cumulative effect adjustment as of January 1, 2018.

Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update related to accounting for leases, which requires the assets and liabilities that arise from leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. Currently only capital leases are recorded on the balance sheet. This update will require the lessee to recognize a lease liability equal to the present value of the lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term for all leases longer than 12 months. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and liabilities and recognize the lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. This update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this update will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements included in "Item 1. Financial Statements" contained herein.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Organization
We are one of the world's largest providers of products and services to the energy industry. We help our customers maximize value throughout the lifecycle of the reservoir - from locating hydrocarbons and managing geological data, to drilling and formation evaluation, well construction and completion, and optimizing production throughout the life of the asset. Activity levels within our operations are significantly impacted by spending on upstream exploration, development, and production programs by major, national, and independent oil and natural gas companies. We report our results under two segments, the Completion and Production segment and the Drilling and Evaluation segment:segment.
-our Completion and Production segment delivers cementing, stimulation, intervention, pressure control, specialty chemicals, artificial lift, and completion products and services. The segment consists of Production Enhancement, Cementing, Completion Tools, Production Solutions, Pipeline and Process Services, Multi-Chem and Artificial Lift.
-our Drilling and Evaluation segment provides field and reservoir modeling, drilling, evaluation and precise wellbore placement solutions that enable customers to model, measure, drill and optimize their well construction activities. The segment consists of Baroid, Sperry Drilling, Wireline and Perforating, Drill Bits and Services, Landmark Software and Services, Testing and Subsea, and Consulting and Project Management.

Completion and Production delivers cementing, stimulation, intervention, pressure control, artificial lift, specialty chemicals, and completion products and services. The segment consists of Production Enhancement, Cementing, Completion Tools, Production Solutions, Artificial Lift, Multi-Chem, and Pipeline and Process Services.
Drilling and Evaluation provides field and reservoir modeling, drilling, fluids, evaluation, and precise wellbore placement solutions that enable customers to model, measure, drill, and optimize their well construction activities. The segment consists of Baroid, Sperry Drilling, Wireline and Perforating, Drill Bits and Services, Landmark Software and Services, Testing and Subsea, and Project Management.

The business operations of our segments are organized around four primary geographic regions: North America, Latin America, Europe/Africa/CIS, and Middle East/Asia. We have manufacturing operations in various locations, the most significant of which are located in the United States, Canada, Malaysia, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. With over 50,000approximately 47,000 employees, we operate in approximatelymore than 70 countries around the world, and our corporate headquarters areis in Houston, Texas and Dubai, United Arab Emirates.Texas.

Financial results
Our business continued to strengthen during the third quarter of 2017, marked by increases compared to the second quarter of 2017 in the average North American land rig count and improved profitability in our international business. Our North American business continued to improve in the third quarter of 2017, with revenue growth of 14%, compared to the second quarter of 2017, significantly outperforming the average United States land rig count increase of 6%. While the international markets have been slower to recover and continue to face pricing pressure as customers defer new projects and focus on lowering costs, we are committed to making this market sustainable. Cost cutting remains a major theme in our international business and the use of technology to lower our customer costsvalue proposition is important. Our product service lines continue to deliver technology driven value propositions to help our customers increase production and lower costs.

We generated total company revenue of $5.4 billion during the third quarter of 2017, a 42% increase from the $3.8 billion of revenue generated in the third quarter of 2016. This increase resulted from improved activity, utilization, and pricing associated with pressure pumping services in the United States land market, as well as contributions from our recent artificial lift acquisition in North America. We reported operating income of $634 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to operating income of $128 million in the third quarter of 2016. Our operating results are benefiting from the structural global cost savings initiatives implemented over the past few years to address challenging market conditions.

During the first quarter, we made the decision to bring back cold-stacked pressure pumping equipment more rapidly than originally planned because of customer demand and to maintain market share while capturing leading edge pricing, and we have successfully executed this reactivation plan. The reactivated equipment has enhanced our overall margins during the first nine months of 2017. North America experienced a significant margin improvement from the first to third quarter of 2017 as a result of activity and pricing increases. We are diligently working towards optimizing margins and reaching targets we have set for our organization, which we believe are achievable through competitive pricing, improved equipment utilization and reducing our cost structure.

Business outlook
While 2016 was challenging as we navigated through the historic industry downturn, we believe our financial results in 2017 reflect our successful execution in a difficult environment and that our strategy has positioned us for any challenges and opportunities ahead. Commodity prices and the North America rig count have improved substantially from first half 2016 lows, and despite a range bound commodity price environment in 2017, we are benefiting from our improved market share, delivery platform and cost containment strategies.


In North America, improved commodity prices and rig counts from 2016 lows have resulted in a rapidly recovering market through the third quarter of 2017, particularly in United States unconventionals. At the current North American rig count, we are drilling approximately the same footage as the peak of 2014, along with significantly increased completions intensity. As rig count stabilizes, our customers focus on efficiencies, optimization and production. We are continuing to collaborate and engineer solutions to maximize asset value for our customerscustomers. We work to achieve strong cash flows and will continuereturns for our shareholders by delivering technology and services that improve efficiency, increase recovery, and maximize production for our customers. Our strategic priorities are to:
- International: Allocate our capital to focusthe highest return opportunities and increase our international growth in both onshore and offshore markets.
- North America: Drive better pricing, increased efficiency, and higher margin through utilization of our automated and intelligent fracturing technologies and increased market penetration of our premium low-emissions electronic fracturing equipment.
- Digital: Continue to drive differentiation and efficiencies through the deployment and integration of digital and automation technologies, both internally and for our customers.
- Capital efficiency: Maintain our capital expenditures in the range of 5-6% of revenue while focusing on increasing equipment utilization, managingtechnological advancements and process changes that reduce our manufacturing and maintenance costs and expandingimprove how we move equipment and respond to market opportunities.
- Sustainability and energy mix transition: Continue to:
• Leverage the increasing number of participants in and scope of Halliburton Labs to gain insight into developing value chains in the energy mix transition;
• Develop and deploy solutions to help oil and gas operators lower their emissions while also using our surface efficiency model. Additionally, we gained significantexisting technologies in renewable energy applications;
• Develop technologies and solutions to lower our own emissions; and
• Grow our participation in the entire life cycle of carbon capture and storage, hydrogen, and geothermal projects globally.

The following charts depict the revenue split between our two operating segments and our four primary geographic regions for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Market conditions
Commodity price volatility continued during the second quarter of 2023 driven by inflationary pressures, changes to OPEC+ production levels, supply chain shortages, demand uncertainty, recessionary fears, and geopolitical conflicts. On June 4, 2023, Saudi Arabia announced it would reduce July production by 1 million barrels per day. On July 3, 2023, Saudi Arabia announced that reduction would extend through August 2023. During the second quarter of 2023, the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil price averaged approximately $74 per barrel and the Brent crude oil price averaged approximately $78 per barrel. Both of these prices were well below the average price per barrel for 2022. The average Henry Hub natural gas price during the second quarter was $2.16 per million BTU, which is also well below the average price during 2022. While U.S. land rig counts increased in 2022, there has been a decline in the rig count during the second quarter of 2023. These factors contributed to softness in the market for energy services generally in North America market share throughand particularly in gas basins during the downturn by demonstrating to our customers the benefitssecond quarter of our service quality and technology. We have been utilizing this increased market share to drive margin improvement.2023. The historically high level of market share we built in the downturn gives us the ability to focus our work with the most efficient customers, and as such, we continued to execute our strategy of high grading the profitability of our portfolio with customers that value our services. DuringUnited States Energy Information Administration (EIA)'s July 2023 forecast has Brent crude oil spot price averaging $78 per barrel for the third quarter of 2017,2023 and increasing to approximately $80 per barrel in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Globally, we acquired Summit ESPcontinue to be impacted by increased supply chain lead times for the supply of select raw materials. We monitor market trends and work to mitigate cost impacts through economies of scale in global procurement, technology modifications, and efficient sourcing practices. Also, while we have been impacted by inflationary cost increases, primarily related to chemicals, cement, and logistics costs, we generally try to pass much of those increases on to our customers and we believe we have effective solutions to minimize the operational impact.

During the second quarter of 2023, we generated total company revenue of $5.8 billion, a 14% increase as compared to the second quarter of 2022. We reported operating income of $1.0 billion during the second quarter of 2023 compared to operating income of $374 million during the second quarter of 2022, which was an important stepincluded the effects of $344 million of impairments and other charges related to our decision to market for sale our Russia operations. Our Completion and Production segment revenue increased 19% in building out our production oriented business lines.

While the international markets were more resilient thansecond quarter of 2023 as compared to the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to increased pressure pumping services in North America through most of the downturn, particularlyland as well as higher completion tool sales and artificial lift activity globally. Our Drilling and Evaluation segment revenue increased 7% in the Eastern Hemisphere, low commodity prices have stressed customer budgetssecond quarter of 2023 as compared to the second quarter of 2022, driven primarily by improvements in drilling-related services globally and wireline activity in the Middle East/Asia region. Both segment results were negatively impacted economics across deepwater and mature fields. As a result, our international business is experiencing activity reductions and pricing pressure in 2017the second quarter of 2023 when compared to 2016. While we are working withthe second quarter of 2022, as a result of the sale of our customersRussian operations during the third quarter of 2022.

In North America, our revenue increased 11% in the second quarter of 2023, as compared to improve project economics through technologythe second quarter of 2022, driven by improved stimulation activity and pricing gains and higher artificial lift activity in North America land, in addition to increased drilling-related services across the region. The North America average rig count increased 1% in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to the second quarter of 2022.

Internationally, revenue increased 17% in the second quarter of 2023, as compared to the second quarter of 2022, primarily driven by improved operating efficiency, any activity improvements fordrilling-related services, higher completion tool sales, and increased pressure pumping services across the remainder of 2017 will likely beregions, partially offset by continued pricing pressure.

Sustainability and Energy Advancement
We continue to pursue our strategic initiatives around advancing cleaner, affordable energy, and supporting sustainable energy advancements using innovation and technology to decarbonize both our and our customers' operations. This includes the continued development and deployment of solutions designed to help oil and gas operators lower their environmental impact while also using our existing technologies in sustainable energy applications.

Halliburton Labs, our clean energy accelerator, continues to provide us insight into developing value chains in the international markets. This implies that production declines will likely accelerate inenergy mix transition and opportunities to assist early stage companies to enable them to achieve scaling milestones. Halliburton Labs has 25 participants and alumni as of the medium term asend of the backlogsecond quarter of new projects are completed and additional projects are not coming behind them. These eventual declines should help support higher commodity prices and increased international E&P spending.2023.

During the first nine months of 2017, we had $934 million of capital expenditures, an increase of 49% from the first nine months of 2016. We plan to continue adjusting capital spending during 2017 and into 2018 to align with market conditions. We have successfully executed our deployment strategy to reactivate our cold-stacked pressure pumping equipment to respond to customer demand and converting our hydraulic fracturing fleet to Q10 pumps to support our surface efficiency model. We remain committed to generating industry-leading returns and continue to be focused on achieving leading edge pricing, driving better utilization and continuous cost control.

We intend to continue to strengthen our product service lines through a combination of organic growth, investment and selective acquisitions. We are continuing to execute the following strategies in 2017:
- directing capital and resources into strategic growth markets, including unconventional plays and mature fields;
-leveraging our broad technology offerings to provide value to our customers and enable them to more efficiently drill and complete their wells;
-exploring additional opportunities for acquisitions that will enhance or augment our current portfolio of services and products, including those with unique technologies or distribution networks in areas where we do not already have significant operations;
-investing in technology that will help our customers reduce reservoir uncertainty and increase operational efficiency;
-improving working capital and managing our balance sheet to maximize our financial flexibility;
-continuing to seek ways to be one of the most cost efficient service providers in the industry by maintaining capital discipline and leveraging our scale and breadth of operations; and
- collaborating and engineering solutions to maximize asset value for our customers.

We closed the third quarter of 2017 at $1.9 billion of cash and equivalents. We also have $3.0 billion available under our revolving credit facility which, combined with our cash balance, we believe provides us with sufficient liquidity to address the challenges and opportunities of the current market.

Additionally, we held $105 million of investments in fixed income securities at September 30, 2017, compared to $92 million at December 31, 2016. These securities are reflected in "Other current assets" and "Other assets" in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Approximately $1.6 billion of our total cash position as of September 30, 2017 was held by our foreign subsidiaries, a substantial portion of which is available to be repatriated into the United States to fund our U.S. operations or for general corporate purposes, with a portion subject to certain country-specific restrictions. We have provided for U.S. federal income taxes on cumulative undistributed foreign earnings where we have determined that such earnings are not indefinitely reinvested.2022.


Significant sources and uses of cash during the first six months of 2023
Sources of cash:

- We received a United States tax refund in the amount of approximately $478 million in the third quarter of 2017, primarily related to the carryback of our net operating losses recognized in 2016.
Uses of cash:
- We early redeemed $1.4 billion of senior notes during the first quarter of 2017, which resulted in a payment of approximately $1.5 billion, inclusive of the redemption premium. We also repaid $45 million of senior notes that matured during the second quarter of 2017.
- Capital expenditures were $934 million in the first nine months of 2017, and were predominantly made in our Production Enhancement, Sperry Drilling, Production Solutions, Baroid, and Wireline and Perforating product service lines.
- We paid approximately $630 million in the third quarter of 2017 to acquire Summit ESP, Ingrain Inc., and Optimization Petroleum Technology. The additions of these three businesses strengthen our artificial lift, wireline, and Landmark portfolios for our global customers.

See Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
Future sources and uses of cash
CapitalWe manufacture most of our own equipment, which provides us with some flexibility to increase or decrease our capital expenditures based on market conditions. We currently expect capital spending for the full year 2017 is currently expected2023 to be within our target of approximately $1.3 billion5-6% of revenue. We believe this level of spend will allow us to $1.4 billion.invest in our key strategic areas. However, we will continue to maintain capital discipline and monitor the rapidly changing market dynamics, and we may adjust our capital spend accordingly.

Currently,While we maintain focus on liquidity and debt reduction, we are also focused on providing cash returns to our shareholders. Our quarterly dividend rate is $0.18$0.16 per common share, or approximately $156$144 million.

We believe we have a manageable debt maturity profile, with approximately $500 million coming due beginning in 2025 through 2027. Furthermore, we have no financial covenants or material adverse change provisions in our bank agreements, and our debt maturities extend over a long period of time. We believe our cash on hand, cash flows generated from operations, and our available credit facility will provide sufficient liquidity to address the challenges and opportunities of the current market and manage our global cash needs, for the remainder of 2017, including capital expenditures, working capital investments, dividends,shareholder returns, if any, and contingent liabilities.


Guarantee agreements. In the normal course of business, we have agreements with financial institutions under which approximately $2.0$2.2 billion of letters of credit, bank guarantees, or surety bonds were outstanding as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2023. Some of the outstanding letters of credit have triggering events that would entitle a bank to require cash collateralization.collateralization; however, none of these triggering events have occurred.

Credit ratings. Our credit ratings with Standard & Poor’s (S&P) remain BBB+ for our long-term debt and A-2 for our short-term debt, with a stable outlook. Our credit ratings with Moody’s Investors Service (Moody's) remain Baa1 for our long-term debt and P-2 for our short-term debt, with a stable outlook.

Customer receivables. In line with industry practice, we bill our customers for our services in arrears and are, therefore, subject to our customers delaying or failing to pay our invoices. In weak economic environments, we may experience increased delays and failures to pay our invoices due to, among other reasons, a reduction in our customers’ cash flow from operations and their access to the credit markets, as well as unsettled political conditions. If our customers delay paying or fail to pay us a significant amount of our outstanding receivables, it could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition. See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion related to receivables

Receivables from our primary customer in Venezuela.Mexico accounted for approximately 9% of our total receivables as of June 30, 2023. While we have experienced payment delays from our primary customer in Mexico, the amounts are not in dispute and we have not historically had, and we do not expect, any material write-offs due to collectability of receivables from this customer.

Operations in some countries may be adversely affected by unsettled political conditions, acts of terrorism, civil unrest, force majeure, war or other armed conflict, sanctions, expropriation or other governmental actions, inflation, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, foreign currency exchange restrictions and highly inflationary currencies, as well as other geopolitical factors. We believe the geographic diversification of our business activities reduces the risk that loss of operations in any one country, other than the United States, would be materially adverse to our consolidated results of operations.


Activity within our business segments is significantly impacted by spending on upstream exploration, development, and production programs by our customers. Also impacting our activity is the status of the global economy, which impacts oil and natural gas consumption.


Some of the more significant determinants of current and future spending levels of our customers are oil and natural gas prices and our customers' expectations about future prices, global oil supply and demand, completions intensity, the world economy, the availability of credit,capital, government regulation, and global stability, which together drive worldwide drilling and completions activity. Additionally, during 2023, we generally expect that many of our customers in North America will continue their strategy of operating within their cash flows and generating returns rather than prioritizing production growth. Lower oil and natural gas prices usually translate into lower exploration and production budgets.budgets and lower rig count, while the opposite is usually true for higher oil and natural gas prices. Our financial performance is therefore significantly affected by oil and natural gas prices and worldwide rig activity, which are summarized in the tables below, and well count in North America.below.

Part I. Item 2 | Business Environment and Results of Operations
Crude oil prices have been extremely volatile duringBusiness outlook
According to the past few years. WTI oil spot prices declined significantly beginning in 2014 from a peak price of $108 per barrel in June 2014 to a low of $26 per barrel in February 2016, a level which had not been experienced since 2003. Brent crude oil spot prices declined from a high of $115 per barrel in June 2014 to $26 per barrel in January 2016. Since the low point experienced in early 2016, oil prices have increased and become range bound in 2017. WTI oil spot prices ranged from a low of $42 per barrel in June 2017 to a high of $54 per barrel in February 2017. Brent crude oil spot prices ranged from a low of $44 in June 2017 to a high of $60 in September 2017. The average WTI and Brent oil spot prices during the third quarter of 2017 were $48 and $52, respectively.

Crude prices rose in the third quarter of 2017 due to increasing expectations for global economic and oil demand growth and falling Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) production, which led to declining global oil inventories. Strengthening global economic conditions and geopolitical factors are the main drivers for the expected rise in oil demand in 2018. The United States Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecastsJuly 2023 "Short Term Energy Outlook", the Brent spot price is expected to average 2018 Brent crude oil price$78 per barrel for the third quarter of 2023, with an expected full year 2023 average of $79 per barrel, a decline of approximately $22 per barrel, or 22%, as compared to be $54the full year 2022 average. According to the EIA, WTI prices are expected to average $73 per barrel in their October 2017 "Shortthe third quarter of 2023 and to average $74 per barrel for the full year 2023, resulting in a decrease of approximately $21 per barrel, or 22%, compared to the full year 2022.

The EIA July 2023 “Short Term Energy Outlook," while WTIOutlook” projects Henry Hub natural gas prices are projected to average about $3.50 less$2.63 per barrel. CrudeMMBtu during the third quarter of 2023, and to average $2.62 per MMBtu for the full year 2023, resulting in a decrease of $3.83 per MMBtu, or 59%, compared to the full year 2022.

Per the International Energy Agency (IEA) July 2023 "Oil Market Report", the forecasted global oil demand is set to average 102.1 million barrels per day in 2023, an approximate 2 million barrels per day increase from 2022. The EIA projects crude oil production in the United States is now projected towill average 9.212.56 million barrels per day in 2017, while 2018 projections of 9.92023, an approximate 6% increase from the average 11.89 million barrels per day would markin 2022.

We continue to expect that oil and gas demand will grow over the highest annual averagenext several years, despite the actions taken by central banks in United States history. The International Energy Agency's (IEA) October 2017 "Oil Market Report" forecastsan attempt to control inflation by increasing interest rates and the 2017 globalresulting concern about a potential economic slowdown. We believe the demand will be driven by economic expansion, energy security concerns, and population growth. Oil and gas continues to average approximately 98 million barrels per day, which is up 2% from 2016, with 2018 forecasts of 99 million barrels per day.

The average Henry Hub natural gas spot pricedemonstrate its critical role in the United States was $2.98 per MMBtuglobal economy and meeting long term demand requires sustained capital investment. We believe many years of increased investment in September 2017, which was flatexisting and new sources of production is the only solution to increase supply and that production will be needed from June 2017, due to natural gas production keeping pace with consumptionconventional and demand for exports. However, natural gas prices have risen 72% from a low of $1.73 in March 2016. The EIA October 2017 “Short Term Energy Outlook” expects growth in natural gas exportsunconventional, deep-water and domestic natural gas consumption to cause a rise in natural gas prices to a projected EIA average spot price of $3.19 per MMBtu in 2018.shallow-water, and short and long-cycle projects.


North America operations
The United States land rig count continued its increaseDespite the softness in the third quarter of 2017, with a 6% improvement over the second quarter of 2017 and 101% improvement over the third quarter of 2016. North America oil-directed rig count increased 420 rigs, or 92%, in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the third quarter of 2016, while the natural gas-directed rig countmarket for energy services in North America increased 134 rigs, or 92%, during the same period. As a resultfirst six months of the recent uptickyear as discussed above, we expect upstream spending to grow in activity2023, with international and North America upstream spending growth in the structural changeshigh teens and around 10%, respectively, compared to our delivery platform we made over the past few years, after recording operating losses2022. We anticipate overall upstream market activity in North America in the first three quarterssecond half of 2016, we returned2023 to operating profitabilitybe slightly lower than in the fourth quarter of 2016 with continued improvements throughout 2017. Rig count has stabilized during the third quarter of 2017, with customers searching for improved production with an increased focus on efficiency and optimization of wells.

In the Gulf of Mexico, the average offshore rig count for the third quarter of 2017 was down two rigs, or 10%, compared to the second quarter of 2017. The impacts of Hurricane Harvey led customers in the Gulf of Mexico and Eagle Ford to suspend activity temporarily in the third quarter of 2017. Low commodity prices have stressed budgets and have impacted economicsfirst half. Our international business is growing at a strong pace across the deepwater market, negatively impacting activity and pricing. These headwinds still persist today,all regions, and we believe there will continueexpect our differentiated technology offerings, selective contract wins, and our unique collaborative approach to be challenges in 2017 to deepwater project economics. Activity in the Gulf of Mexico is dependent on governmental approvals for permits, our customers' actions, and the entry and exit of deepwater rigs in the market.

International operations
The average international rig count for the third quarter of 2017 was essentially flat compared to both the second quarter of 2017 and the third quarter of 2016. Lower sustained crude oil prices have caused many of our customers to reduce their budgets and defer several new projects; however, we have continued to workworking with our customers, to improve project economics through technology and improved operating efficiency. In Latin America, rig count has grown slightly in the third quarter of 2017, after experiencing historic lows across the region during 2016. These increases were driven by Argentina, Mexico and Brazil. Venezuela continues to experience significant political and economic turmoil. While the region is slowly showing signs of improvement, there are significant headwinds and pricing pressures that must be overcome to obtain a full recovery and we remain focused on efficiencies in our execution. For the Eastern Hemisphere, we believe the first quarter represented the bottom of the international rig count. The Middle East remains our most active international market, with the largest part of the work focused on maximizing production in mature fields with the use of technology and expanded reservoir knowledge. Due to the longer term contractual nature of international markets and the level of continuing price pressure, we expect pricing pressures will offset activity gains over the near term.deliver profitable growth.

Venezuela. The Venezuelan government currently has a dual-rate foreign exchange system: (i) the DIPRO, which represents a protected rate of 10.0 Bolívares per United States dollar made available for vital imports such as food, medicine and raw materials for production; and (ii) the DICOM, which is intended to be a free floating system that will fluctuate according to market supply and demand. The DICOM continues to significantly devalue and had a market rate of 3,345 Bolívares per United States dollar at September 30, 2017, as compared to a market rate of 276 Bolívares per United States dollar in early 2016 when the DICOM was created. We are utilizing the DICOM to remeasure our net monetary assets denominated in Bolívares. The continued devaluation of the Bolívar under the DICOM did not materially affect our financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to our immaterial net monetary position in the local currency.


Part I. Item 2 | Results of Operations in 2023 Compared to 2022 (QTD)
As of September 30, 2017, our total net investment in Venezuela was approximately $727 million, with less than $1 million of net monetary liabilities denominated in Bolívares, and we had an additional $36 million of surety bond guarantees outstanding relating to our Venezuelan operations.

See Note 2 and Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information about outstanding receivables from our primary customer in Venezuela and Part II, Item 1(a), “Risk Factors” for additional information on risks associated with our operations in Venezuela, including recent sanctions imposed in Venezuela.

Consolidated revenue was $5.4 billion in the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $1.6 billion, or 42%, as compared to the third quarter of 2016, primarily associated with improvements in pressure pumping services and drilling activity, as well as contributions from our recent artificial lift acquisition in North America. Revenue from North America was 58% of consolidated revenue in the third quarter of 2017, compared to 43% of consolidated revenue in the third quarter of 2016, reflecting the improvement that our North America operations are experiencing as the oil and gas industry recovers.

Consolidated operating income was $634 million during the third quarter of 2017 compared to $128 million in the third quarter of 2016. Operating results improved primarily from increased activity, utilization and pricing associated with pressure pumping services.

Drilling and Evaluation
Drilling and Evaluation revenue in the thirdsecond quarter of 20172023 was $1.9$2.3 billion, an increase of $250$159 million, or 15%7%, fromwhen compared to the second quarter of 2022. Operating income in the second quarter of 2023 was $376 million, an increase of $90 million, or 31%, when compared to the second quarter of 2022. These results were due to an increase in drilling-related services globally and higher wireline activity in the Middle East. Partially offsetting these improvements was lower project management activity in Saudi Arabia, Colombia, and Ecuador.

Both segments' results were negatively impacted in the second quarter of 2023 when compared to the second quarter of 2022, as a result of the sale of our Russian operations during the third quarter of 2016. Improved results were driven by increased drilling activity and logging services in the United States land market,project management and drilling fluid services in Mexico, and drilling activity in Russia. These increases were partially offset by reduced activity and pricing for drilling-related services in the Eastern Hemisphere.2022.

This new system will provide important efficiency benefits, cost savings, enhanced visibility to our operations, and advanced analytics that will benefit Halliburton and its customers. We expect this upgrade to payback in three years after an investment of $250 million. For the second quarter of 2023, we recognized expense of $13 million on the migration.

Impairments and other charges. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized a pre-tax charge of $344 million, related to the third quarterwrite down of 2016, primarilyall our net assets in Russia as a result of our decision to market our Russia operations for sale due to interest savingsthe additional sanctions enacted against Russia arising from the early extinguishmentconflict in Ukraine.

Nonoperating Items

Argentina Blue Chip Swap. The Central Bank of $1.4 billionArgentina maintains currency controls that limit our ability to access U.S. dollars in Argentina and remit cash from our Argentine operations. The execution of senior notescertain trades known as Blue Chip Swaps, effectively results in a parallel U.S. dollar exchange rate. This parallel rate, which cannot be used as the first quarter of 2017.basis to remeasure our net monetary assets in U.S. dollars under U.S. GAAP, was 101% higher than Argentina's official exchange rate at June 30, 2023. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we entered into Blue Chip Swap transactions, which resulted in a $104 million pre-tax loss on investment.


Effective tax rate. During the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, we recorded a total income tax provision of $135$167 million on a pre-tax income of $496$783 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 27.2%.21.3% for the quarter.

Our49.3% for the quarter. The effective tax rate during the third quarter of 2016 was primarily impacted by a $29 million tax benefit reflecting the beneficial use of an Argentinian tax treaty that reduces the taxation of royalty payments for intellectual property. The effective tax rates in both periods were impacted by the geographic mix of earnings for the respective periods.

Our business in Venezuela subjects us to actions by the Venezuelan government, sanctions imposed or other actions by the U.S. and foreign governments, the risk of delayed payments, and currency risks, which could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, consolidated results of operations, and consolidated financial condition.
HAL Q2 2023 FORM 10-Q | 24
There are risks associated with our operations in Venezuela, which continues to experience significant political and economic turmoil, including the possibility that the Venezuelan government could assume control over our operations and assets. The political and economic conditions have deteriorated further in 2017, leading to uncertainty in the future business climate, the state of security, and governance of the country. This environment increases the risk of civil unrest, armed conflicts, adverse actions by the government of Venezuela, or imposition of additional sanctions or other actions by the U.S. and foreign governments that may restrict our ability to continue operations or realize the value of our assets. In July 2017, the U.S. Government announced sanctions on 13 Venezuelan individuals, including a current employee of our primary customer in Venezuela. In August 2017, the U.S. Government imposed additional economic sanctions around certain financing transactions in Venezuela. These new sanctions prohibit dealings by our U.S. employees and entities in new debt issued by our primary customer in Venezuela or the Venezuelan Government, dealings in certain existing Venezuelan government bonds, as well as dividend payments or other profit distributions to the Venezuelan Government. These sanctions could delay our ability to execute the promissory note exchange discussed further in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. There can be no assurance that other sanctions affecting our business in Venezuela will not be imposed in the future. Any such sanctions may have a material adverse effect on our ability to operate in Venezuela.


Part II. Item 2 | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
We have continued to experience delays in collecting payments on our receivables from our primary customer in Venezuela, and this customer did not make the first scheduled principal payment on our $200 million promissory note, which they informed us was due to banking complications. While we believe that our customer will make all required payments on this note, further delays in payment on this promissory note or defaults on the customer's indebtedness to other parties may lead to a default on this promissory note. This would result in an impairment charge on the existing carrying amount of this note and potentially further charges on other receivables with this customer. If conditions continue to worsen in the country and we experience further delays or failure in receiving payment on our remaining receivables, it could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, consolidated results of operations, and consolidated financial condition.

The future results of our Venezuelan operations will be affected by many factors, including the foreign currency exchange rate, actions of the Venezuelan government, and general economic conditions such as continued inflation and future customer payments and spending. For further information, see Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Business Environment and Results of Operations - International operations - Venezuela."
