April 25 (Reuters) - Halliburton Co reported
higher first-quarter profit on Tuesday, wrapping up upbeat
earnings from the world's top oilfield services providers as
higher oil prices encouraged drilling activity and boosted
demand for services and equipment.
The Houston-based company said net income attributable to
the company stood at $651 million, or 72 cents per share, for
the three months ended March 31, compared with $263 million, or
29 cents per share, a year earlier.
