Halliburton Co. (HAL) on Wednesday said it named President and Chief Executive Jeffrey Miller to the additional post of chairman.

The Houston oilfield-services company said Mr. Miller succeeds David Lesar, who retired as executive chairman on Dec. 31 under Halliburton's corporate governance guidelines.

Mr. Miller has been president of Halliburton since 2014 and CEO since 2017. Mr. Lesar, who had been executive chairman since 2017, served as CEO from 2000 to 2017.

Halliburton said Robert Malone, who joined the board in 2009, will continue as lead independent director.
