What Halliburton Labs does

Halliburton Labs is a Houston-based clean energy and climate technology accelerator and wholly-owned subsidiary of Halliburton (NYSE: HAL), founded in 2020. The program selects early-stage ventures across energy generation, storage, distribution, materials conservation, and industrial decarbonization through an open application process, with cohort selection occurring three times per year. Selected companies execute an equity transaction with Halliburton Labs in exchange for cash and in-kind support; notably, the program does not demand intellectual property rights, board seats, or observer rights, positioning it as founder-friendly relative to traditional corporate venture arms.

The core product offering combines bespoke mentorship with physical infrastructure: a 6,000-square-foot wet and electromechanical laboratory, a 9,000-square-foot industrial makerspace with 15-foot bays, two 5-ton overhead cranes, and 480V 3-phase power, plus a 25,000-square-foot paved laydown yard. Participants gain access to Halliburton's global infrastructure—45,000 employees across more than 70 countries—unlocking supply chain, manufacturing, purchasing, assembly, logistics, and customer introductions at preferred rates. The program runs approximately 12 months per cohort, with continued guidance available beyond the initial period, and concludes with a Pitch Day showcase presented to a curated panel of investors, industry experts, and potential customers.

Halliburton Labs is operated by a small leadership team (1–10 employees total) drawn from senior Halliburton operating roles. To date, the program has supported over 40 participant and alumni companies. Strategic capital deployment includes participation in portfolio funding rounds such as DISA Technologies' $30 million Series A2 (August 2025) and $33 million strategic financing (April 2026). Revenue and equity terms are not publicly disclosed; the entity functions as a strategic corporate venturing platform rather than a standalone revenue-generating business.
