                  HALLIBURTON ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
            Estimates 15 Year Net Asbestos Liability of $602 million

DALLAS - Halliburton  (NYSE:HAL)  announced  today that the leading  econometric
firm  retained  to assist in  estimating  the number  and value of  current  and
potential  future  claims has  essentially  completed  its study.  Based on this
study, the Company has accrued an estimated undiscounted liability and estimated
undiscounted insurance recoveries through 2017 of $2.2 billion and $1.6 billion,
respectively,  resulting in a net  liability of $602 million.  A second  quarter
charge  of $483  million  pretax,  $391  million  after-tax,  has been  recorded
bringing  the  total  net  liability  to $602  million.  The  breakdown  between
continuing operations and discontinued operations is detailed below.

The second quarter 2002 net loss from continuing  operations was $358 million or
$0.83 per diluted share. There were four items impacting  continuing  operations
for the quarter on a pretax  basis:  $330 million  relating to  engineering  and
construction  asbestos exposures,  $119 million relating to a loss on a project,
$61  million  for an  impairment  of an equity  investment,  and $56  million in
restructuring costs.  Excluding these items, 2002 second quarter net income from
continuing  operations was $78 million,  or $0.18 per diluted  share.  Total net
loss was $498  million  ($1.15  per  diluted  share)  which  included a net loss
attributable to discontinued  operations of $140 million  after-tax for asbestos
exposures  related  to  businesses  no  longer  owned  by  the  Company.  Tables
reconciling as reported  amounts to pro forma amounts used in this press release
are attached.  Second quarter 2001 net income from continuing operations of $143
million included $10 million, net of tax, in goodwill  amortization  compared to
no  amortization in the second quarter of 2002 in accordance with changes in the
accounting rules related to goodwill.

Revenues  from  continuing  operations  were  $3.2  billion  in the 2002  second
quarter,  down slightly from a year ago. Loss from  operations was $405 million.
Excluding the four items noted above,  operating income was $161 million for the
quarter,  down 44 percent from last year, excluding 2001 goodwill  amortization,
and down eight  percent,  sequentially.  Reduced gas drilling  activities in the
United States and Canada  resulted in lower  year-over-year  revenues and profit
margins.

"We took several  significant steps this quarter that will position  Halliburton
to deliver improved future  performance," said Dave Lesar,  chairman,  president
and chief  executive  officer,  Halliburton.  "We  substantially  completed  our
restructuring   activities,   we  have  better   defined  our  future   asbestos
liabilities,  we have  announced we will no longer pursue fixed price  contracts
for the  offshore  engineering,  procurement,  installation,  and  commissioning
(EPIC)  business,  and we're  following  through on our commitment to dispose of
non-core assets. Regarding the Energy Services Group, I was pleased with results
for the quarter  and look  forward to  continuing  improvements  throughout  the
remainder of the year."

Corporate Reorganization

Substantial progress has been made on the reorganization  announced in the first
quarter of 2002. The separation of the Energy  Services and the  Engineering and
Construction Groups into two wholly-owned operating subsidiary groups is largely
complete and is expected to be concluded by the end of this year.  Approximately
1,600 employee  reductions are substantially  complete.  We have incurred pretax
restructuring  charges of $56 million  this  quarter,  and  estimate  additional
charges  in the  second  half of  this  year to be  approximately  $20  million.
Restructuring  charges  principally  comprise  personnel related costs and asset
write-downs.  As a result  of these  actions,  we expect  to  achieve  estimated
annualized  savings of about $200 million,  exceeding  initial estimates of $100
million.

As part of our  restructuring,  the  Production  Services,  Major  Projects  and
Granherne  product  service  lines  which  were  previously  part of the  Energy
Services  Group  are  now  managed  and  reported  under  the   Engineering  and
Construction  Group. In addition,  the asbestos costs related to our engineering
and  construction   business  which  were  previously   reported  under  General
Corporate,  are now reported under the Engineering and Construction Group. Prior
periods  have been  restated to reflect  these  segment  reporting  changes.  An
attached table includes restated  segments by quarter,  back to the beginning of
2000.

2002 Second Quarter Segment Results

The Energy  Services  Group  posted  second  quarter  revenues of $1.8  billion,
representing  a four  percent  increase in revenues  sequentially,  despite a 13
percent decrease in rig count.

Halliburton Energy Services'  revenues  increased by three percent  sequentially
due to a four percent revenue increase in the United States.

Operating income,  for the second quarter for the Energy Services Group, was $70
million.  Excluding  nonrecurring  items, Energy Services Group operating income
was $168 million, an increase of three percent sequentially.  On the same basis,
Halliburton Energy Services' operating income was $158 million, down one percent
sequentially.

The  Engineering  and  Construction  Group's second  quarter  revenues were $1.5
billion,  up 12 percent  sequentially.  Operating  loss for the quarter was $450
million which included $330 million for asbestos exposures,  a $119 million loss
on an  offshore  field  development  project  in  Brazil,  and  $10  million  of
restructuring charges. Excluding these items, operating income was $9 million.

Backlog

Backlog for the Company as of June 30, 2002, was $9.8 billion, comprised of $9.4
billion for the  Engineering  and  Construction  Group and $400  million for the
Energy Services Group.

General Corporate

General  corporate  costs of $25 million in the second  quarter  2002 include $9
million in expenses related to the recent reorganization.  The majority of these
expenses relate to personnel related costs.

Discontinued Operations

The  second  quarter  net loss from  discontinued  operations  was $140  million
after-tax,  which  reflects  asbestos-related  expenses of  previously  disposed
businesses.  In the 2001 second quarter, net income from discontinued operations
was $239  million  ($0.56  per  diluted  share),  reflecting  the  $299  million
after-tax gain on the sale of Dresser  Equipment Group and $60 million after-tax
charge for asbestos-related expenses.

Technology and Significant Achievements

Halliburton  recently  announced  a number of  advances  in  technology  and new
contract awards including:

     o   Halliburton Energy  Services  announced  the commercialization  of  the
         ADT(TM) (applied  drilling technology)  optimization service  suite  of
         tools,  software  and  technical   expertise.   ADT(TM)  personnel  are
         dedicated to  reducing drilling  trouble time  and optimizing  drilling
         practices using critical data interpretation from a variety of downhole
         and surface sensors and specialized software applications.  The ADT(TM)
         service  focuses on  three areas  of expertise critical to a successful
         and  efficient  drilling  process  -  wellbore  integrity,   hydraulics
         management, and drillstring integrity.

     o   The  Baroid  product  service  line   of  Halliburton  Energy  Services
         introduced   revolutionary   synthetic-based   drilling   fluid  called
         ACCOLADE, which offers operators unprecedented performance  in the Gulf
         of Mexico.  The new fluid consistently  provides excellent  rheological
         performance  in  the  colder  temperatures  of  deepwater environments.
         ACCOLADE was first utilized on an operator's well in the Gulf of Mexico
         with  a total  depth of  more than  15,000  feet  and  water  depth  of

                                     -more-

         approximately 4,000  feet.  The well  exhibited signs of a single point
         of mud weight that was standing between  drilling ahead and severe loss
         of  circulation.   The  new   system  significantly  improved  rheology
         control, lowered equivalent circulating density, and provided a greater
         margin of wellbore stability.

     o   PetroChina  Daqing Petrochemical  Company awarded  Kellogg Brown & Root
         the design of two new 100 kilotons per annum ethylene cracking furnaces
         for  its  ethylene  facility  at  Wolitun,  Daqing  City,  Heilongjiang
         Province.  The two furnaces will utilize SCORE(TM) (Selective  Cracking
         Optimum  Recovery)  technology,  which   combines  KBR  and  ExxonMobil
         knowledge acquired through a licensing agreement.

     o   Halliburton's  Energy  Services  Group,  has  been  awarded  a two-year
         contract extension  valued at  $120 million  with  Agip  KCO  (formerly
         OKIOC) for  providing integrated  drilling  services  for  the Kashagan
         reservoir  located  in  the  northeast   sector  of  the  Caspian  Sea,
         Kazakhstan.  The contract will provide  a spectrum of services  to Agip
         KCO,  including  well   construction  and  data  acquisition  services,
         real-time data transmission,  waste treatment, well-test and completion
         services.

     o   IBM and  Landmark Graphics  announced a  three-year  petroleum industry
         agreement to deliver comprehensive solutions to the  global exploration
         and production  (E&P) industry.   The range of solutions offered by the
         two companies will lower costs dramatically for  oil and gas  producers
         compared to  existing systems running on proprietary UNIX technologies.
         Oil  and  gas  producers  worldwide  will  benefit  from  migrating  to
         open-sourced   LINUX-based   servers  and   workstations,  implementing
         collaborative  workflows and  delivering  e-business-on-demand services
         for  data  and  applications  management  and  the  outsourcing  of  IT
         infrastructures.  Combined IBM and Landmark services and solutions will
         help to increase returns on investment in hardware, software, training,
         and related information technology infrastructures.

     o   Devonport  Management Limited has  entered into a  partnering agreement
         with the Ministry of Defense to provide warship support services at the
         Devonport Naval  Base as  part of  the  Warship  Support  Modernization
         Initiative.   The 300  million pounds sterling, five-year contract will
         cover  the  repair  and  maintenance  of  the  operational  fleet , the
         provision of waterfront support services, the maintenance of the  Naval
         Base  estate,  and  the  management  of  Naval  Base  distribution  and
         transport services.
