Halliburton took KBR public in 2006 by extending a 20% stake in an IPO and later divested the remainder, cutting all ties to the company in 2007. It streamlined its management along with numerous other efforts of the organization. Thanks to all these efforts, in 2006, the company was awarded a multimillion-dollar contract by Saudi Aramco as part of the Khurais oil field development project, the largest in the region since the 1950s.
