In addition, it offers re-entry, fishing, and well abandonment services, as well as patented downhole tools, tubular-handling equipment, pressure-control equipment, and drill pipe and tubulars; artificial lift systems, including reciprocating rod, progressing cavity pumping, and related automation and control systems, as well as gas, hydraulic, plunger, and hybrid lift systems, as well as related automation and control systems; and software, automation and flow measurement solutions. Further, it provides electrical and hydraulic power transmission to subsea equipment; and pressure pumping and reservoir stimulation services, such as acidizing, fracturing, cementing, and coiled-tubing intervention. The company was incorporated in 1972 and is based in Houston, Texas.
The oilfield-services industry
Services companies sell the picks and shovels of the oil patch: drilling rigs, fracking fleets, downhole tools, subsea equipment and the engineering that goes with them. Their revenue follows what producers spend, not the oil price itself — and producer budgets react to prices with a lag, so services cycles arrive later and swing harder. The big three (SLB, Halliburton, Baker Hughes) split roughly along international versus North American exposure, and international and offshore work runs on longer contracts than the spot-driven US shale business. Read these as a bet on drilling activity: when producers open their wallets, services margins expand fast; when budgets get cut, there is nowhere to hide. Weatherford is the group's turnaround story — restructured through bankruptcy into consistent margins.
