BAGHDAD, March 7 (Reuters) - Several foreign oil companies, including Halliburton, KBR and Schlumberger, have begun evacuating expatriate staff from oil fields in Iraq to Kuwait through the Safwan border crossing, two Iraqi sources told Reuters on Saturday.

The move followed Iranian strikes on the region during the week-old U.S.-Iranian war on Iran.
