How many Engineering companies in the world are large enough to handle construction/reconstruction on the scale being contemplated?
In the US, Halliburton and Fluor are about it.
There is Asea Brown Boveri Ltd which is Swiss/Norwegian.
There are a couple of Japanese and a couple of South Korean companies big enough.
I am not considering any company based in the Axis of Weasel.
That means there are less than 10 possible contractors worldwide.
There will be all the subcontracts that all of them are capable of handling before this is over.
There has to be one prime contractor coordinating everything.
It should damned sure be American, So it has to be Halliburton or Fluor.
If Fluor is in a better position to do the job I guarantee we will be hearing about it. They own congresscritters too.

Should Schlumberger get it, even though they're French, I don't think so.
