Halliburton Wins U.S. Army Contract to Extinguish Iraqi Oil Well Fires

WASHINGTON, Mar 25, 2003 (Houston Chronicle - Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News via COMTEX) -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has hired Houston-based Halliburton Co. to execute a plan to douse the oil-well fires in Iraq, based on a blueprint that the firm originally drew up.

While the contract award was not announced until late Monday, oil-well firefighters from Halliburton subcontractor Boots & Coots International Well Control had already visited Iraq`s Rumaila oil fields on Sunday to assess the damage.

The firefighters were forced to pull out again after learning the area was not as safe as previously thought.

KBR, the engineering and construction subsidiary of Vice President Dick Cheney`s former employer, Halliburton, will be responsible for sizing up the destruction, putting out the fires, capping the wells and cleaning up any oil spills.

The company, formerly Kellogg Brown & Root, also will perform any emergency repairs to avoid long-term damage to Iraq`s prolific oil fields.

Besides Boots & Coots, KBR has hired the Houston-based oil-well firefighting firm Wild Well Control to help extinguish the fires.

Last November, the Pentagon hired KBR to draw up a classified contingency plan for dealing with any well fires in Iraq. That deal was part of a long-standing contract with the Pentagon dating back to 2001.

KBR was then hired to implement the plan because, according to a statement issued by the company, it was "the only contractor that could commence implementing the complex contingency plan on extremely short notice."

Boots & Coots, meanwhile, has a business alliance with Halliburton. And KBR officials said they will use the expertise of Halliburton`s oil-field service arm, Halliburton Energy Services Group.

Competitors in the Oil Patch already have been grumbling about contracts going to Cheney`s old company.

"Are we surprised?" said one competitor who asked not to be named.

But Halliburton officials point out that their firm had been a major contractor for the military for more than half a century before Cheney arrived on the scene there in 1995.

"We have a long history of government contracting starting back in 1942," Halliburton spokesman Wendy Hall said. The company turned out Navy warships during World War II, built the Phan Rang Air Base in Vietnam and provided logistics services during the war in the Balkans.

After the Persian Gulf War, Halliburton oversaw firefighting crews that brought 320 well fires under control and provided emergency repair work to government buildings and the electrical system in Kuwait City.

A senior administration official estimated Monday the United States could spend about $500 million helping to repair Iraq`s oil fields.

So far, damage to those fields has been far lighter than many military planners had feared.

On Monday, firefighters from Kuwait`s state-owned oil company put out the first of seven oil-well fires in the South Rumaila field, Reuters reported from Kuwait.

But Boots & Coots first trip to the field was cut short after Iraqi troops in civilian clothes began roaming the area.

"It`s not nearly as safe as they said it was," Brian Krause, a Boots & Coots vice president and blowout specialist in Kuwait told the Associated Press. "We`re kind of sitting ducks out there."

Boots & Coots Chief Executive Officer Jerry Winchester said in Houston that while the the company`s response team was there, a group of Iraqis showed up to surrender.

While the crews were not endangered by that incident, they had heard reports of British soldiers being ambushed by Iraqis pretending to be trying to surrender.

"They`ve got Iraqis just driving around out there," Winchester said. "They were in civilian clothes.

"You don`t want a crew working when you`ve got those problems facing you," Winchester said.

Boots & Coots has an 11-person crew in Kuwait ready to go to work in Iraq. The firefighters are now moving their equipment north close to the Iraqi border so they can go in when needed.

"They`re waiting for the area to be secured," Winchester said. "They may go back and make another assessment run."

Boots & Coots officials plan to meet today with the teams from Kuwait`s petroleum company to better coordinate their efforts.

Boots & Coots Subcontracted to Extinguish Oil Well Fires in Iraq
Tuesday March 25, 12:07 pm ET


HOUSTON, March 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Boots & Coots International Well Control, Inc. (Amex: WEL - News) has been subcontracted by Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR) to supply firefighting and well control services in Iraq. The Company was originally contacted to assist in developing a plan for evaluating and extinguishing potential oil well fires in Iraq and has provided specialized firefighting and well capping equipment for the project.
Currently, the Company has teams of senior well control and engineering specialists, contracted to KBR, preparing to start the initial phase of the project. Boots & Coots faced a similar task in 1991 when they were brought into Kuwait to control some 240 of the over 700 burning wells following the Gulf War.

Boots & Coots President Brian Krause stated, "We have surveyed these wells and are preparing to mobilize the equipment. We will begin stabilization of the wells once the location around the wells is secure."

Boots & Coots CEO Jerry Winchester stated, "In light of the news release from the DOD and KBR, we are pleased to be able to make this announcement. In addition, we are certainly pleased to be working for KBR and Halliburton on such an important project and are proud to be able to assist our country in this effort."

Reuters
Kuwait, US set to douse more oil fires in south Iraq
Wednesday March 26, 3:06 am ET


DUBAI, March 26 (Reuters) - Kuwaiti and U.S. firefighters, stalled in their work by bad weather, are gearing up on Wednesday to snuff out two more oil wells blazing in Iraq`s vast southern Rumaila fields, a senior Kuwaiti oil official said.

U.S. contractors Boots & Coots International Well Control (AMEX:WEL - News) are to join a Kuwait Oil Co (KOC) team that has already capped one of seven oil wells on fire in the giant field responsible for nearly half of Iraq`s overall production.

"We will try to extinguish and cap a fire on Thursday and if the U.S. team also puts out a fire, we will only have four left to do," KOC team leader Aisa Bou Yabes told Reuters by telephone from the scene.

Kuwaiti and U.S. officials have said it could take up to four weeks to bring a half dozen fires under control, but Bou Yabes said he hoped the job could be finished faster.

The first well, extinguished on Monday, was finally capped late Tuesday after a harsh sandstorm prevented work earlier in the day, he said.

"Today the weather is worse, but we are making preparations for Thursday to work," said Bou Yabes, a veteran of Kuwait`s battle to extinguish over 700 oil well fires set by Iraqi troops fleeing the Gulf state in 1991 after a U.S.-led campaign ended Iraq`s seven month occupation.

Their task this time should be considerably easier, as U.S. and British officials say Iraq has only managed to torch seven of Rumaila`s 500 wells.

The area of the Rumaila fields, near the border with Kuwait, was deserted, Bou Yabes said, with no sign of armed Iraqis reported in other parts of the 50-mile-long oilfield.

"The area where we are working is under British control. We hear news of problems, but we don`t see anything," he said. "We even hear the Kuwaiti firefighting team was taken hostage, but we are alive and well.

According to a pooled despatch sent on Tuesday from Terri Judd of British newspaper "The Independent" in southwest Iraq, fighting continues in the northern section of the Rumaila oilfield but British troops have secured vital facilities such as gas-oil separation plants.

The British army`s elite helicopter force keeping watch on the area is to expand its territory to include an area inhabited predominantly by Bedouins.

wie es scheint laut BBC etc. gibt es viel mehr feuer als bisher veröffentlicht (würde sich ja auch mit der bisherigen POSITIVEN berichterstattung decken)..

“U.S. PLANS are first to prevent the destruction of Iraq’s oil fields and second, if unable to prevent destruction, to control and mitigate the damage quickly,” the Pentagon said in a press release.
The plan by Halliburton’s Kellogg Brown & Root Services would be for “dealing, on short notice” with oil fires, the Pentagon said.
It took about 200 days for 10,000 engineers, firefighters, equipment operators and support personnel from around the world to control the oil well fires following the 1991 Gulf War.
The cost of putting out the fires alone has been estimated at up to $2.5 billion, with another $20 billion to repair the damage to Kuwait’s oil wells and infrastructure, according to U.S. government sources.

Kellogg Brown & Root is candidate to oversee firefighting in Iraq’s oilfields because Halliburton does extensive logistic support work for the U.S. military.
A beneficiary of the deal is oilwell firefighting company Boots & Coots International

Halliburton Gets Iraq Firefighting Nod
29 minutes ago


HOUSTON - A unit of Houston-based oilfield services giant Halliburton Co. will organize the oil well firefighting and rehabilitation effort in Iraq (news - web sites) just as it did after the 1991 Gulf War (news - web sites), officials said.


delayed 20 mins - disclaimer
Quote Data provided by Reuters



The value of the contract was not disclosed.


The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on Monday gave Kellogg Brown & Root the go-ahead to implement the Defense Department`s plan to extinguish oil well fires in Iraq and repair the damage.


Halliburton was led by now-Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) before he resigned in 2000 to join the Republican presidential ticket.


Halliburton subcontractors Boots & Coots International Well Control Inc. and Wild Well Control Inc., both also from Houston, will handle the firefighting chores.


However, unease around the oil fields in the far southeastern corner of Iraq have delayed the beginning of work the last two days, officials said.


Halliburton oversaw the firefighting efforts on 320 wells in Kuwait after retreating Iraqi troops set fires in 1991. Firefighting companies extinguished 90 percent of the fires within a year, far ahead of the 18-month schedule.


The contract was initially disclosed at the end of a Defense Department statement on preparation for the possibility that Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)`s regime might destroy Iraq`s oil fields in case of war with the U.S.-led coalition.


Analysts believe the wells may need significant work even if they aren`t sabotaged. Daily production has slid from 3.5 million barrels per day in 1979 to about 2 million barrels per day, partly due to United Nations (news - web sites) sanctions that banned import of equipment.


Iraq`s proven oil reserves are second only to those of Saudi Arabia.


In trading Tuesday on the New York Stock Exchange (news - web sites), Halliburton shares rose 54 cents, 2.7 percent, to $20.66.

For its part, Boots & Coots is keeping quiet. "The company has no comment in reference to a potential war with Iraq," says spokesman Barry Gross of Gross Capital Associates. Gross also declined to say how much the company typically charges to put out fires. But according to Michael Shonstrom, the principal at Shonstrom Research Associates in Denver, Boots & Coots can command as much as $10 million per well on the commercial market.

"You have to believe if they can get $5 million to $10 million controlling a well in the U.S.," says Shonstrom, "the opportunities in Iraq must be in the hundreds of millions of dollars."

"If we`re right, that the opportunity is several hundred millions of dollars to the top line, then Boots & Coots should get a decent margin for the risk it is taking," says Shonstrom. "The question is how long does the opportunity continue and what is the length of the engagement in putting out fires. I guess at least nine months, maybe a two-year period. The stock could get to $4 or $5 a share, but in order to support that you`d have to have $50 million in revenue a year." (Shonstrom holds 50,000 warrants for Boots & Coots shares; Shonstrom Research Associates doesn`t do investment banking.)

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- A feeding frenzy has erupted on the Boots & Coots message board over the past few days, with countless investors drooling at the unsavory prospect of more oil fires blazing in Iraq.

A flurry of activity in the stock and a massive onslaught of posts followed word on Tuesday that the Houston-based company was hired to fight the oil well fires. See full story.

As the profit-sniffers see it, more fires mean more demand for firefighters, which means more money for the company, which usually means a better performance from their pet stock.

And, when it comes to the stock market, particularly in cyberspace, that`s what it`s all about.

CBS MarketWatch.com`s JayHawkInvest used some hearsay to soothe his jittery peers: "Spoke to a friend in Houston who had nothing but praise for this Co. as well as the owners, management and workers. Also talked to a rep. from BP/Amoco in Texas and Conoco/Phillips in Illinois about their knowledge on WEL. Both agreed they are the best at what they do and went on and on about them."

And EasyComeEZGo liked what he saw, chart-wise: "We know it`s worth $2.55 on speculations BEFORE the war, its got to be worth more now that income is confirmed as well as the work ..."

Boots & Coots - An die Front geschickt

Die Spezialisten zur Bekämpfung von Ölbränden Boots & Coots [AMEX: WEL Kurs/Chart ] haben am Dienstag einen Auftrag zur Löschung der im Irak bei Basra brennenden Ölquellen erhalten. Darüber hinaus wird das Unternehmen seine Dienste bei der Kontrolle von Bohrlöchern zur Verfügung stellen.

Zuvor hatte die US-Regierung den Ausrüster Halliburton [NYSE: HAL Kurs/Chart ] mit einer Bewertung der Schäden an den irakischen Ölquellen beauftragt. Halliburton schickte daraufhin Boots & Coots an die Front. Wie viel der Auftrag letztendlich Wert sei, sagte das Unternehmen allerdings nicht.

Am Ende des ersten Golf-Kriegs hatten Saddam Husseins Truppen in Kuwait mit rund 700 brennenden Ölquellen ein wahres Feuer-Inferno hinterlassen. 240 Brände löschte Boots & Coots. Von den etwa 1.500 Ölquellen im Irak stehen bisher etwa sieben in Flammen. Für Land, Leute und Umwelt ein Glück, für die von der Insolvenz bedrohte Boots & Coots zu wenig. Da die Titel auf jede Meldung von der Front empfindlich reagieren, ist auch in den kommenden Tagen mit einem extrem volatilen Kursverlauf zu rechnen.

ROUNDUP: Rohölpreise steigen wieder - Ölbrände sollen gelöscht werden
HALLIBURTON-TOCHTER SOLL ÖLBRÄNDE LÖSCHEN

Die amerikanische Spezialfirma Boots & Coots International Well Control Inc. soll Ölbrände im Irak löschen und Ölquellen kontrollieren. In den Rumaila-Ölfeldern um Basra im Süden des Irak brennen mehrere Ölquellen. Die irakischen Truppen hatten im Golfkrieg 1991 in Kuwait mehr als 700 Ölquellen angezündet.

Auftraggeber ist die amerikanische Bau- und Ingenieurfirma Kellogg, Brown & Root (KBR), eine Tochtergesellschaft des Ölfeldausrüsters Halliburton Co. . Halliburton wurde früher vom US-Vizepräsidenten Dick Cheney geleitet. KBR hat vom Ingenieurkorps der US-Armee den Auftrag für eine Überprüfung und Löschung von Ölquellen- Bränden und für Reparaturen an der Ölinfrastruktur des Irak erhalten. KBR hat die US-Firma Wild Well Control Inc. mit der Löschung von Ölbränden beauftragt

DJ Boots & Coots Still On Alert For Further Well Control

28 Mar 12:44


By Roy R. Reynolds
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

HOUSTON (Dow Jones)--The diminishing flames of burning oil wells in Iraq
isn`t providing a sigh of relief from Boots & Coots International Well Control
Inc. (WEL).

"The whole world thinks it`s over when the fires go out, but (the job`s) just starting," said Danny Clayton, director of well control services and senior
well control specialist.

Boots & Coots, one of the largest oil well firefighting companies, has had 11
crew members in Kuwait waiting for work for the past 30 days, though the
company couldn`t admit it until this week.

"The State Department clamped down on us for security reasons," Clayton said.

"We`ve had them there for a while, but we just haven`t been able to say it."
As reported, sandstorms have extinguished three burning well heads in
southern Iraq`s key Rumeila oil field, leaving three fires burning.

But extinguishing the blaze is the easy part of well control, Clayton said.

"Anyone who can wash their car with a garden hose can put a fire out," he
said. "Controlling the well is the hard part."
Clayton said it only takes about five minutes to put out a fire, but it is
considerably more difficult to cap the well and control the flow. The company
is currently looking at nine damaged wells.

With the southern oil fields of Iraq apparently secured by coalition forces -
though continued fighting in the region has slowed entry by well-control teams
- Boots & Coots management has turned its attention to the northern fields.

"One minute the State Department says (the northern fields) are secure, the
next minute, they`re not," Clayton said.

Wells in the northern fields have more pressure, higher volumes and a higher
concentration of hydrogen sulfide gas, making control more dangerous.

"There`s lots of problems up there," Clayton said.

Halliburton Co. (HAL) subcontracted Boots & Coots to battle well fires under
its contract with the Army Corps of Engineers for emergency repair to the Iraqi
oil infrastructure. Halliburton announced the pact late Monday.

Boots & Coots has been in a well-control alliance with Halliburton since
1995.

Boots & Coots and other well-control companies battled about 700 similar oil
well fires after the 1991 Gulf War.

Indiana Missionary Returns From Iraq

Priest Talks Of Ravages Of War

POSTED: 12:48 p.m. CST March 28, 2003
UPDATED: 3:14 p.m. CST March 28, 2003
CHICAGO -- A missionary from Indiana is back from Baghdad, having arrived at O`Hare Airport Thursday night. The Rev. Jerry Zawada, a peace team volunteer, spent six weeks in Iraq and witnessed the bombing firsthand. VIDEO: Missionary Returns

Zawada told reporters what he saw of the war, in his own words. "I saw the ravages on my way out of the country. There was a bus that was hit. There was a restaurant with a gas station that was hit, that was bombed. There was a bridge that was hit and then I saw an ambulance down below ... and even if they do hit the military targets and so on, there are enough innocent people that are being affected and hurt. And, the ravages of the sanctions throughout the years have taken its toll," Zawada said. "When we got out, right near Baghdad, on the west side of Baghdad, there were a lot of oil fields that were burning," he added.
