Halliburton has cut 9,000 jobs in about six months and is considering additional cost-cutting moves as falling oil prices reduce demand for its drilling help.

That's more than 10% of the Houston company's workforce.

Halliburton Co executives disclosed the job cuts on Monday on a conference call with investors.

The company reported a loss of $643 million in the first quarter. Still, the results excluding write-downs and other one-time costs were better than expected.
