) on Monday beat analysts’ estimates for second-quarter profit as its largest oil-well services unit exceeded expectations, putting the company’s shares on track for the biggest one-day gain in nearly three years.The Houston-based oilfield company is the largest provider of hydraulic fracturing services in North America, a segment of the oilfield services business that has been hard-hit by overcapacity, making it difficult to raise prices.

Revenues for its Completion and Production unit, which provides hydraulic fracturing services and tools to complete oil and gas wells, rose 4% from the prior quarter to $3.8 billion. The company also boosted margins in that segment by cutting costs and maximizing equipment usage, Miller said on a conference.

Halliburton posted a strong increase outside North America, with revenue from international markets jumping more than 12% to $2.60 billion, in contrast to the 13.2% decline in North America to $3.33 billion.
