Halliburton Under Scrutiny for $7.1M Equipment Trade With Russia, Eyebrows Raised
Portfolio Pulse from Mohit Manghnani
Halliburton Company (NYSE:HAL) is under scrutiny for exporting equipment worth over $7.1 million to Russia, despite announcing last year that it had ceased operations in the country. The equipment was exported to its former Russian operation in the six weeks following the sale of its Russian office. The situation has sparked frustration in Ukraine and raised questions about the trade relationship between U.S. oil and gas companies and Russia.
