Halliburton says Mexico oil output decline rates will pressure reactivation of business
Output of crude and condensate by Pemex, the largest producer in the country, fell 8.4% in May to 1.64 million barrels per day, according to official figures.
Oilfield service companies have significantly decreased activities because of the lack of payments from Pemex, the world's most indebted energy company.
Halliburton said issues related to payments from Pemex have not been resolved yet.
The Mexican association that groups foreign oil services companies warned last month that many of these firms may have to stop operations as early as July.
Halliburton, which posted second-quarter earnings on Tuesday, said it expects its full-year international revenue to decline by mid-single digits, year on year, primarily driven by activity reductions in Saudi Arabia and Mexico.

Grand reopening activities, featuring food, drink, and entertainment—not to mention the newest Lexus models—will take place from 6-8 pm, Tuesday, July 29 at the new dealership, located at 4821 Pan American Fwy. in Albuquerque. Lexus of Albuquerque is part of Houston-based Group 1 Automotive, Inc. (NYSE: GPI), one of the country's largest owners of automotive dealerships, franchises, and collision centers.

BP,CVX,SHEL: Oil Stocks Drop Despite Prices Surging on Trump Trade Talks
Oil prices were higher in early trading today as progress in U.S. trade deals dampened fears of a global economic meltdown. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Total Fallout Brent crude futures, the international standard, gained 0.6% to trade at $68.90 per barrel in early trading, while West Texas Intermediate futures climbed by the same margin to $65.67 a barrel. However, the move upwards did little to boost oil stocks with BP (BP) down 0.4%, Chevron (CVX) off 0.3% and Shell (SHEL) down 0.4% in pre-market trading. Weighing on investor sentiment were Q2 results from TotalEnergies (TTE) which reported a drop in profits and revenues and issued a warning over a glut in oil supply. This, it said, was down to the unwinding of production cuts by cartel OPEC+ and weak demand from a global economic slowdown. The uptick in prices today may be the beginning of better news for the sector. Sentiment has been helped by recent U.S. trade deals with Japan and Indonesia as well as stronger optimism on a potential deal with the EU. That comes after a volatile period for oil prices, as can be seen with U.S. Crude below, because of tariff fears. Price Flow 'Buying was driven by optimism that progress in tariff negotiations with the U.S. would help avoid a worst-case scenario,' said Hiroyuki Kikukawa, chief strategist of Nissan Securities Investment, a unit of Nissan Securities. 'Still, uncertainty over U.S.-China trade talks and peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia is limiting further gains.' He believes that the WTI price will likely remain range-bound between $60 and $70. That's a common view among analysts who have previously stated that a 'geopolitical premium' on the oil price is likely to keep the Brent price above $65. The premium refers to the continued uncertainty over conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. We have rounded up the best oil stocks to buy using our TipRanks comparison tool.
