HOUSTON (AP) – Oilfield services company Halliburton said Wednesday it is well-positioned to ride out the economic downturn and sharply lower crude prices, even saying that it's open to potential acquisitions. But shares declined as the company acknowledged the ongoing financial crisis could make it very challenging to meet revenue growth and other performance targets next year. In a meeting with analysts, Halliburton executives touted the company's strong cash and credit positions and said they remain committed to growing international business – a focus since the company split its corporate headquarters between Houston and Dubai in 2007.
