US oilfield services firms Halliburton and Baker Hughes have followed SLB in declining to work with companies involved in the Sea Lion project offshore the Falkland Islands, citing continued commitment to Argentina. This follows Argentine threats of sanctions, signaling escalating diplomatic pressure over the islands' sovereignty dispute and potential disruption to the project's supply chain.
