     HALLIBURTON COMPANY REPORTS SECOND QUARTER
RESULTS

     DALLAS, Texas -- Halliburton Company today reported a net
loss of $19.2 million, or $.17 per share, for the 1994 second
quarter.  The loss includes $38.1 million, or $.33 per share, of
after tax non-recurring costs relating to personnel reductions
and two significant engineering and construction job losses.

     The Halliburton Energy Services business segment had
revenues of $605.6 million during the 1994 second quarter.  The
1994 quarterly revenues were unchanged compared to the 1993
second quarter, after excluding revenues from the company's
geophysical business that was sold at the beginning of 1994.

     Halliburton Energy Services experienced an operating loss of
$19.8 million during the 1994 second quarter.  Results were
negatively impacted by personnel reduction expenses totalling
$42.6 million which were charged as 1994 second quarter operating
costs.  Such costs were recognized in order to facilitate
reduction of the segment's employment by about 2,000 persons to
better match staffing to market demand.  Also, the segment's
operating income was reduced by $8.2 million compared to the 1993
second quarter because of substantial deferrals of spending by
customers in the CIS, Yemen and Nigeria resulting from economic

 6
and political turmoil in these areas.  However, Halliburton's
operating costs continued in the face of the slowdown in order to
maintain market position in these promising areas.

     The engineering and construction business segment's revenues
were $764.1 million in the 1994 second quarter, a decline of nine
percent compared to the year earlier period.  However, the
segment's backlog of firm orders increased by 13 percent to $3.7
billion during the 1994 second quarter.

     Operating income of the engineering and construction
business was $11.4 million for the 1994 second quarter compared
to $29.3 million a year earlier.  The 1994 second quarter
operating income includes combined loss provisions of $16.0
million for a North Sea project and a U.S. power utility project.
The 1993 second quarter results reflected a $9.6 million benefit
for a foreign subsidiary's improved collection of receivables
relating to a project in Libya.

     The insurance business segment's 1994 second quarter
operating loss of $100,000 includes the impact of strengthening
United Kingdom claim loss reserves by $12.6 million, which was
partially offset by an $8.4 million benefit related to a refund
from a workers' compensation assigned risk pool.

     Thomas H. Cruikshank, chairman of the board and chief
executive officer, said, "I am optimistic that during the second
half of 1994 Halliburton will be able to  recapture the second
quarter costs relating to personnel reductions.  Such cost
savings, combined with anticipated improvement of demand for the

 7
company's products and services during the second half should be
reflected by a substantial improvement of financial results."

     "I am confident that during the second half of 1994 we will
begin to see earnings strengthen because of the significant
restructuring and realignment of our business units which has
been accomplished.  We are implementing plans and programs to
improve operating efficiencies, lower costs by outsourcing
certain functions, sell non-core business assets, redeploy
underutilized assets and reduce working capital requirements.  I
am pleased with the improvements we see developing, and as we go
forward our management team will be able to focus more of its
energies on improving Halliburton's market position and less on
internal changes."

diversified energy services, engineering, maintenance, and
construction companies.  Founded in 1919, Halliburton provides
