Halliburton is among other things a drilling company. A very large drilling company. If you have land with mineral rights and want to drill for oil, you contract a company like haliburton to drill for you.
Typically you pay them a pre-determined fee per foot of depth, but in some cases people promise them a percentage of whatever the well produces.
Haliburton doesn't OWN all those wells you saw, they just provide a service.
