Barclays (NYSE:BCS) Sees Strong Third Quarter for Noble (NYSE:NE), Halliburton (NYSE:HAL), Baker Hughes (NYSE:BHI), Others

After visiting a number of U.S. Oil Services & Drilling companies last week in their Oilfield Tour in Houston, Texas, Barclays (NYSE:BCS) said they see most companies performing strongly in the third quarter in the sector.

Barclays said:

"Last week we hosted the 21st "Original" Oilfield Tour in Houston,
Texas. The companies we visited on the tour included Baker Hughes (NYSE:BHI), CGGVeritas, FMC Technologies (NYSE:FTI), Halliburton (NYSE:HAL), National Oilwell Varco (NYSE:NOV), Noble Corporation (NYSE:NE), Patterson-UTI Energy (Nasdaq:PTEN), Pride International (NYSE:PDE), Superior Energy Services (NYSE:SPN) and Weatherford International (NYSE:WFT)."

The many companies, for the most part, are positive about the global cycle they feel is now taking hold.

"Similar to the themes highlighted at our 2010 CEO Energy Conference, the companies we visited continued to express optimism that the international upcycle is taking hold. Third quarter results in North America for most companies are likely to be strong. The view of the offshore markets was mixed, with optimism expressed for ultra-deepwater and premium jackup demand globally, while the outlook in the Gulf of Mexico remains weak," concluded Barclays.

  1. The dream of business ownership is alive and well these days, especially in Colorado. As of 2015, the state is home to nearly 600,000 small businesses which employ almost 1,000,000 people! Every day you hear about a new start up being launched or a company taking its headquarters to Colorado. Business is good! So for today's discussion, we thought it would be important to address the benefits of buying an established business over starting a business Nicolas Krafft

  2. Setting up a business can be an overwhelming task with a lot to comprehend. It all starts with a dream and a vision, but how do you turn that dream into reality? The dream of becoming your own boss and having the freedom to make your own decisions can be a complicated one at the beginning. Nicolas Krafft
