Halliburton, who established the New Method Oil Well Cementing Company in Oklahoma in 1919. Simultaneously, the Brown brothers, George and Herman, partnered with their brother-in-law, Dan Root, to found Brown & Root in Texas. Major acquisitions by Halliburton include Brown & Root, an engineering and construction company, in 1962 and Dresser Industries, a major provider of integrated services and project management for the oil industry, in 1998. Dresser had acquired M.W. Kellogg, a leader in petroleum refining and petrochemical processing, technology, engineering and construction, in 1988. Former Vice President Dick Cheney was CEO of Halliburton before taking office in 2001. Halliburton officially separated from its engineering and construction subsidiary, KBR, in April 2006.
