                   HALLIBURTON REPORTS SUBSTANTIALLY IMPROVED
                          1995 SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS

     DALLAS,  Texas -- Halliburton  Company  (NYSE-HAL) today reported that 1995
second  quarter  net income  was $56.2  million,  or 49 cents per share.  Second
quarter  earnings  reflect  improved  profitability  at the  company's  two core
business   segments  --  Halliburton   Energy   Services  and   Engineering  and
Construction.  The 1995 earnings compare to a loss of $19.2 million, or 17 cents
per share, in the 1994 second quarter, which included $38.1 million, or 33 cents
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's  revenues were $629.6
million in the 1995 second  quarter,  an  increase of 4 percent  compared to the
year ago  quarter.  Revenues  for the 1995 second  quarter  increased 7 percent,
excluding  businesses  included in 1994 results but subsequently sold.  Slightly
lower 1995 revenues in the United States were offset by a 14 percent increase in
international  revenues,  reflecting growth in the Latin America,  Europe/Africa
and Asia Pacific markets.

     Halliburton Energy Services' operating income increased to $71.2 million in
the 1995 second  quarter.  A loss of $19.8  million was  reported in last year's
second  quarter,  after $42.6 million of charges for personnel  reductions.  The
1995 second  quarter  operating  margin was 11.3  percent,  the  highest  second
quarter margin in over a decade.

     The  Engineering  and  Construction  business  segment,   operated  by  the
company's  Brown & Root  subsidiary,  had revenues of $768.0 million in the 1995
second quarter  compared to $764.1 million a year ago. Both operating income and
operating  margins rose sharply to $33.5 million and 4.4 percent,  respectively.
The increased earnings were primarily the result of improved  performance by the
Brown & Root Energy Services business unit.

     The  Insurance  Services  business  segment  reported  1995 second  quarter
operating income of $2.3 million, compared to a small operating loss a year ago.
The 1995 second quarter results benefitted from reduced underwriting losses from
discontinued lines of business.

     Thomas H. Cruikshank,  chairman of the board and chief executive officer of
Halliburton  Company,  said, "The strong financial  results reported in the 1995
second  quarter  reflect a continuation  of a trend which  commenced a year ago.
Over the past 12 months,  Halliburton has produced  earnings of $1.84 per share,
excluding a $.56 per share gain on the sale of a business unit, and year to year

operating  improvements have been noted with each passing quarter. These results
reflect successful organizational changes and new strategic initiatives designed
to increase the company's  opportunities in a dynamic market  environment.  I am
optimistic  that  Halliburton  is on  track to  continue  to  build  upon  these
improvements in the future."

     Halliburton  Company  is one  of the  world's  largest  diversified  energy
services, engineering, maintenance, and construction companies. Founded in 1919,
Halliburton  provides a broad range of energy services and products,  industrial
