Not withstanding the recent verdict on the 2007 incident in Baghdad, I could see contracts being signed to defend certain economically vital infrastructures in the path of ISIS.

Blackwater was rebranded as Xe and now seems to be based in the UAE where they have a $529 million contract with the government there through 2015 for an approximately 800 strong mercenary force which is made up primarily of former soldiers from Colombia.
 
Some of the foreign oil companies had contractors. BP among them IIRC. I don't think it worked out well for them.
