     HALLIBURTON TO INVEST $400 MILLION IN LOGGING BUSINESS

     DALLAS, Texas -- Halliburton Company's Halliburton Energy
Services business segment announced today that it will invest
more than $400 million over the next five years in its well
logging products and services.  The Company plans to use the
resources to replace existing field units with a recently
developed integrated logging platform and roll-out its new
Logging While Drilling (LWD) system.  Halliburton will also
continue its focus on developing innovative logging
technologies that reduce risks for oil and gas operators by
providing highly reliable and accurate logging data.

     Integration of the logging business with the Company's
other core products and services such as stimulation and
cementing is providing significant benefits and revealing new
opportunities.  "We are fully committed to the logging
business and believe that the opportunities we have in this
area, combined with other key Halliburton technologies, will
put us in a unique position for the future," said Ken LeSuer,
President and Chief Executive Officer for Halliburton Energy
Services.

     Cash flow from the logging business is expected to be
used for the increased investment.  The business has
significantly improved in the last two years turning from
consuming cash at a rate exceeding $100 million per year to
generating a free cash flow of nearly $30 million in 1993.

     Halliburton will begin replacing existing logging units
in 1995 with the recently developed EXCELL 2000, a state-of-
the-art logging platform that will also be LWD compatible.
The new unit will enhance the Company's ability to
consistently deliver highly-accurate logging data throughout
its worldwide locations.  The system will allow the Company to
greatly improve well-site performance, equipment utilization,
and will provide a standard platform from which new logging
tools and software currently in development can be more
efficiently operated.  The Company will also produce and
deploy its new Logging While Drilling system which enable oil
and gas operators to obtain highly accurate measurements for
early formation evaluation during the drilling phase.
Resources committed to new technologies will include new
software for optimum logging data evaluation and presentation,
and solutions for slimhole and high-temperature/high-pressure
conditions.
