Halliburton Gulfstream lands near McAllen as oilfield activity ramps in South Texas

Halliburton flew a Gulfstream G550 from the National Wildlife Refuge Airport in Maryland to a private airstrip near McAllen, Texas, on June 1, covering the 33-minute leg at 30,000 feet. The aircraft, tail N235DX, touched down at coordinates 26.189, -98.252 at 18:22 UTC.

The same week, Halliburton announced a multi-year contract to provide completions and cementing services for a major operator in the Permian Basin, per a company press release on June 1. The McAllen-area strip sits within a two-hour drive of the western Permian's southern edge, suggesting the trip was tied to executive-level site visits or customer meetings related to that deal.

The flight follows a pattern of short-haul hops in the Halliburton fleet—the G550 spent much of May shuttling between Pittsburgh, Charleston, and New York, likely for investor or regulatory meetings. This Texas leg, by contrast, points to boots-on-the-ground operational oversight, a recurring theme for a CEO whose Houston HQ is often a staging point for field travel.
