HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Halliburton (NYSE: HAL) has been awarded a contract by Basra Oil Company (BOC) to provide Integrated Field Management Services (IFMS) and Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) for the development of the Bin Umar and Sindbad oil and gas fields in southern Iraq.

The contract scope includes field development planning, production optimization, digital solutions, and EPCM services for the two fields. Halliburton will deploy the Landmark portfolio to build a digital foundation that connects subsurface insights, well delivery, production operations, and business planning. Halliburton digitally integrates planning and execution to improve visibility, increase efficiency, and support faster, higher-quality decisions. The award supports the Government of Iraq and Ministry of Oil’s strategy to strengthen BOC with technical capabilities, project execution expertise, and an integrated delivery model to advance development of Iraq’s national energy assets.

BOC estimates oil production could reach approximately 150,000 barrels per day and 300 million standard cubic feet of associated gas from Bin Umar field during the first five-year development phase. The project supports Iraq’s efforts to strengthen energy security and reduce reliance on gas imports.
