Basra Oil Company (BOC) has signed two agreements with Halliburton to develop the Nahr Bin Omar and Sinbad fields in Iraq. This confidentiality agreement involves Iraq to provide Halliburton with data and discuss operations in the fields to build the technical and economic model to boost oil production and investment of associated gas. Currently, the production of the Nahr Bin Omar field is about 45.000 barrels per day (bbl/d), and after development, it is anticipated to reach 300.000 bbl/d. Halliburton also aims to produce 300 million cubic feet (mcf) of gas from the field. The development operations will be conducted in stages to improve production efficiency, with BOC remaining the main operator and Halliburton managing surface and subsurface projects.
