Halliburton Acquired Boots & Coots On 9 April 2010 http://cryptogon.com/?p=15100

Boots & Coots Inc. of Houston and Amarillo, Texas-based GSM Enterprises Inc., two of the companies that extinguished hundreds of oil wells in Kuwait set ablaze by retreating Iraqi troops in 1990, have been brought in to help cap the leaks.

Halliburton’s timing was pretty good on that acquisition, wouldn’t you say?
