Halliburton has agreed to plead guilty to destroying evidence in connection with the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
The US company has agreed to pay the maximum fine and will be on probation for three years and continue to cooperate with the government's criminal investigation.
It has also made a $55m (£35.7m) voluntary contribution to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
Halliburton was BP's cement contractor on the drilling rig whose blowout triggered an explosion that killed 11 workers and spilled millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
The company said in a statement that it had agreed to plead guilty "to one misdemeanor violation associated with the deletion of records created after the Macondo well incident"
The Justice Department has agreed it will not pursue further criminal prosecution of the company or its subsidiaries for any conduct arising from the 2010 spill," Halliburton's statement said.
The plea agreement is subject to court approval, the company said.
