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.

'We are honored by the trust Basra Oil Company has placed in Halliburton to support the development of the Bin Umar and Sindbad fields.

The Bin Umar and Sindbad development program is designed to increase oil production and expand the capture and use of associated gas for domestic supply. 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.
