"We presently intend to remain in the country, consistent with the terms of the license issued by the Department of Treasury," Emily Mir, a spokeswoman for Halliburton, said by email. The Treasury Department earlier this week said it will no longer allow the five remaining major U.S. companies in Venezuela to drill wells, sell and buy crude oil or oil products or transport them. In addition to Halliburton, the decision affects oil major Chevron Corp. and oilfield service providers Schlumberger Ltd., Baker Hughes Co. and Weatherford International Plc.
