據海上工程師網2022年1月24日報道，哈里伯頓公司周一公布的數據顯示，其去年第四季度經調整后利潤較上年同期增長一倍，超出分析師預期，并促使該公司在原油和天然氣價格反彈后提高股息。

由于全球經濟從疫情中復蘇，以及石油輸出國組織（歐佩克）減產，美國油價去年上漲了50%以上，并在2022年開局強勁，徘徊在每桶85美元左右。  

根據貝克休斯公司的統計數據，去年第四季度末，美國在用鉆機數量同比增長68%，達到586部。 

哈里伯頓公司表示，將把派息提高至12美分，3月23日支付，此前為4.5美分。

根據Refinitiv IBES的數據，哈里伯頓公司第四季調整后凈利潤總計3.2億美元或每股36美分，超過華爾街預估的每股34美分。

Halliburton Doubles Quarterly Profit, Raises Dividend as Oil Rebounds

Halliburton Co's fourth-quarter adjusted profit doubled from a year earlier, it said on Monday, beating analysts' forecasts and prompting the oilfield services company to lift its dividend following a rebound in crude and natural gas prices.

U.S. oil prices rose more than 50% last year and have made a strong start to 2022, hovering around $85 a barrel, thanks to the global economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic and supply cuts by producer group OPEC.

That has encouraged producers to ramp up drilling activity, with the U.S. rig count rising 68% year-over-year to 586 at the end of the fourth quarter, according to Baker Hughes data.

Halliburton said it would boost its dividend to 12 cents, payable on March 23, up from a 4.5 cents dividend previously.

Halliburton's fourth-quarter adjusted net income totaled $320 million, or 36 cents per share, topping Wall Street estimates of 34 cents a share, according to Refinitiv IBES.
