Brief Executive Summary
The Special Investigations Division of the House Committee on Government Reform investigated Halliburton's performance under the Restore Iraqi Oil 2 (RIO 2) contract, the third mega-contract the company received in Iraq. The RIO 2 contract, worth $1.2 billion, tasked Halliburton with restoring southern Iraq's oil fields, crucial for the country's reconstruction. The report raises concerns about Halliburton's handling of the contract, revealing previously undisclosed correspondence, evaluations, and audits, and highlights the controversy surrounding the award of the RIO 2 contract despite warnings about significant deficiencies in Halliburton's cost estimating system.
