I saw a web page the other day that talked about the firms that are profiting the most from the Iraq war. KBR Inc., a division of Halliburton, leads the list with over US $17 billion in war-related revenue in the period between 2003 and 2006. Most of KBR's revenue comes from repairing oil fields and participating in infrastructure projects.
The article limited itself to the top ten American companies, so I don't know how the top 10 Iraqi-owned companies compare, but I somehow suspect that their combined total does not beet KBR's revenue during this period.
