Operating Segments

Completions and Production

Completion and Production revenue in the second quarter of 2026 was $3.2 billion, an increase of $186 million, or 6% sequentially, while operating income was $474 million, an increase of $35 million, or 8% sequentially. These results were primarily driven by increased stimulation activity in the Western Hemisphere and improved well intervention services in Asia. Partially offsetting these increases were lower specialty chemicals activity in North America resulting from the completed sale of a portion of our chemical business, decreased cementing activity in Latin America, and lower activity across multiple product service lines in the Middle East.

Drilling and Evaluation

Drilling and Evaluation revenue in the second quarter of 2026 was $2.5 billion, an increase of $126 million, or 5% sequentially, while operating income was $338 million, a decrease of $13 million, or 4% sequentially. Revenue improvements were primarily driven by increased drilling-related services and higher wireline activity in North America and Europe/Africa, and increased drilling-related services in Asia. Partially offsetting these increases were lower software sales globally, decreased project management activity in Latin America and lower wireline activity in the Middle East. Operating income decreased due to the seasonal roll off of software sales.

Geographic Regions

North America

North America revenue in the second quarter of 2026 was $2.3 billion, an increase of 7% sequentially. This increase was primarily driven by higher stimulation activity and increased well construction activity in US Land, and higher fluids activity in the Gulf of America. Partially offsetting these increases were lower specialty chemicals activity in US Land following the sale of a portion of our chemical business and decreased drilling activity in the Gulf of America.

International

International revenue in the second quarter of 2026 was $3.4 billion, an increase of 5% when compared to the first quarter of 2026.

Latin America revenue in the second quarter of 2026 was $1.1 billion, an increase of 3% sequentially. These results were primarily driven by increased stimulation activity in Argentina and Mexico, and improved completion tool sales in Mexico. Partially offsetting these increases were lower activity across multiple product service lines in the Caribbean, decreased well construction activity in Mexico and Ecuador, and decreased completion tool sales in Brazil.

Europe/Africa revenue in the second quarter of 2026 was $1.0 billion, an increase of 19% sequentially. These results were primarily driven by improved activity across multiple product service lines in the North Sea, increased well construction activity in Namibia and Egypt, higher completion tool sales in the Mediterranean and Ivory Coast, and increased project management activity in Angola. Partially offsetting these increases were decreased software sales across the region and lower activity across multiple product service lines in Libya.

Middle East/Asia revenue in the second quarter of 2026 was $1.3 billion, a decrease of 2% sequentially. These results were primarily driven by lower activity across multiple product service lines in Kuwait, Iraq, and Qatar as a result of the ongoing geopolitical conflict in the Middle East. Partially offsetting these decreases were higher well construction activity in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, and increased drilling-related services and higher well intervention services in Asia.

The system supports efficient completion operations and increases reservoir coverage in complex multizone wells. Operators that complete multizone wells often manage extended schedules, multiple service-tool trips, and increased operational exposure. The OSTMZ sand control system addresses these challenges and treats multiple zones in a single trip, without deployment-tool repositioning or repeated surface-equipment testing.
