The company has also moved to amend its claims against the British oil company in the multi-district litigation in New Orleans, Louisiana, to include fraud.
Halliburton said these allegations are based upon BP providing it with inaccurate information prior to it performing cementing services on 19 April 2010 and BP’s use of and omission of that information in subsequent public statements, filings and governmental investigations.
US-based Halliburton provided cementing services for the Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico.
The company said it received inaccurate information from BP about the actual location of hydrocarbon zones in the Macondo well.
