REUTERS/Richard Carson/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsOct 24 (Reuters) - Halliburton's (HAL.N) third-quarter profit beat market expectations on Tuesday as higher international drilling and equipment demand helped overcome weakness in North America. Against this backdrop, we expect continued demand growth for oilfield services in 2024 and beyond," CEO Jeff Miller said. The company and its rival Baker Hughes (BKR.O) had in July warned of weakening North America oilfield activity. Larger rival SLB (SLB.N) on Friday beat third-quarter estimates on strong global oil drilling activity, but was hurt by North American weakness.
