Halliburton has been doing hydraulic fracturing since the 1940s.

Tell what company you think does more hydraulic fracturing jobs per year.

Yes hydraulic fracturing as been done since the 1940’s.

However the combination of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling has only been done since about 2001. It was developed for natural gas in the barnet formation in Texas and then ported to Marcellus formation in PA in 2006 by purely regional American players. About 2008-9 they started experimenting with fracking oil. there were no internationals involved.
