The Iraqi Cabinet has approved a Heads of Agreement (HOA) with US-based Halliburton for the development of the Nahr Bin Omar [Nahr Bin Umar, Nahr Ben Umar] and Sindbad oil fields in Basra.
According to a statement from the Media Office of the Prime Minister, the project will employ Integrated Field Management Services (IFMS) and the EPCM model, aligning with national efforts and licensing round frameworks.
The South Gas Company (SGC) and Halfaya Gas Company (HGC) signed a contract for the development and processing of gas from the Nahr Bin Umar last year, while China's United Energy Group (UEG) was awarded the contract for Sindbad in 2018.
