	Handbook of Texas Online:
		Halliburton Company, one of the world's largest suppliers of the complicated technology and services needed to extract oil from beneath the earth's surface, traces its origins to a lone individual who in 1919 began "cementing" wells in the Burkburnett oilfield.
		The founder of the company was a Tennessean named Erle P. Halliburton (1892-1957), whose involvement in the industry began after his discharge from the navy in 1918, when he took a job in California with the Perkins Oil Well Cementing Company, a pioneer in the field.
		Halliburton became so intrigued with the process that he evidently became obnoxious with his multitude of suggestions, and he was fired.
