Halliburton has been awarded a contract by Eni to provide a range of integrated energy services toward the redevelopment of the Zubair field in southern Iraq. Work for the multimillion dollar contract is under way. Halliburton will perform services such as wireline logging, perforating, acidizing, and well testing on 20 wells.

“We are committed to providing Eni the critical services required to deliver on its goal of expanding production over the next several years,” Dave Lesar, Halliburton's chairman, president, and CEO, said. “Halliburton has made a strategic investment in our Iraqi infrastructure and the award of this contract, coupled with the recent letter of intent awarded by Shell and its partners, demonstrates that we have the technology and people in place to deliver in Iraq.”
