Halliburton Withdraws from Falklands Sea Lion Project, Notifies Argentina

Halliburton has formally notified Argentina's oil regulator that it will not participate in the Sea Lion project near the Falkland Islands, citing no involvement in exploration or extraction in the area. This follows Argentine pressure on companies operating in the disputed waters and may signal reduced Western contractor appetite for the project. The move could delay development and strengthen Argentina's sovereignty claims, though the project's other partners remain.
