Kellogg Brown & Root Gains Corps Contract to Extinguish Iraq Oil Fires
KBR says it is subcontracting the firefighting work to Boots & Coots International Well Control Inc. and Wild Well Control Inc., both based in Houston.
KBR wouldn't specify how much or what type of equipment it is using for the work, but did say nine cargo plane loads of equipment have been "mobilized to the region" so far for the task. It also says all the oil well fires should be extinguished in 240 days.
