This  post-effective  amendment  is being  filed  pursuant to Rule 414 under the
Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended  (the  "Securities  Act"),  to reflect  the
adoption by Halliburton  Company, a Delaware corporation (now Halliburton Energy
Services,  Inc.) (the  "Company"),  of a holding company form of  organizational
structure.  The holding company organizational  structure was implemented by the
merger (the "Merger") of Halliburton Merge Co., a Delaware corporation, with and
into  the  Company,  with  the  Company  being  the  surviving  corporation,  in
accordance with Section 251(g) of the Delaware  General  Corporation Law. In the
Merger,  which was consummated at 11:30 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, on December
12, 1996 (the "Effective  Time"),  each share of the common stock of the Company
issued and  outstanding  or held in its treasury was converted into one share of
common stock of Halliburton Hold Co., a Delaware corporation (the "Registrant"),
the  Registrant  became the holding  company  for the Company and its  operating
subsidiaries and the Company became an indirect  wholly-owned  subsidiary of the
Registrant.  At the  Effective  Time,  the name of the  Company  was  changed to
Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. and shortly after the Effective Time, the name
of the Registrant was changed to Halliburton Company.

In accordance with Rule 414, the  Registrant,  as the successor  issuer,  hereby
expressly adopts this  Registration  Statement,  as well as the plan to which it
relates,  of the Company as its own for all purposes of the  Securities  Act and
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

The  registration  fees  were  paid at the time of the  original  filing of this
Registration Statement.

     The following  documents,  heretofore  filed with the SEC by the Registrant
     pursuant to the Exchange Act, are incorporated herein by reference.

         (a)  The Registrant's  Annual Report  on Form  10-K for  the year ended
     December 31, 1996;

         (b)  The Registrant's Quarterly  Report on  Form 10-Q  for  the quarter
     ended March 31, 1997;

         (c) The  Registrant's  Current  Reports on Form 8-K dated  January  13,
     1997,  January 22, 1997, January 29, 1997,  February 6, 1997,  February 11,

         (d)  The  description  of the  Common  Stock  and the  Preferred  Stock
     Purchase Rights contained in the  Registration  Statement on Form 8-B dated
     December 12, 1996.

         All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections
13(a),  13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the
filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered
have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold,  shall
be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration  Statement and to
be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         Section  145 of the  General  Corporation  Law of the State of Delaware
(the "DGCL")  generally  gives a  corporation  the power to indemnify any of its
officers or directors  against certain  expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees),
judgments,  fines and amounts  paid in  settlement  in  connection  with certain
threatened,   pending  or  completed  actions,  suits  or  proceedings  provided
generally  that such  person  acted in good faith and in a manner he  reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the interests of the corporation,  and, with
respect to any  criminal  action or  proceeding,  had no reason to  believe  his
conduct was unlawful.

         Article TENTH of the  Registrant's  Certificate  of  Incorporation,  as
amended,  traces  substantially  all of the language of Section 145 of the DGCL.
Such Article provides that the Registrant shall indemnify  officers,  directors,
employees  and  agents  of  the   Registrant   in  those   instances  and  under
circumstances where indemnification is authorized under said statute.

         Provisions  of the  Registrant's  By-laws,  as  amended,  also  provide
generally  that while  serving as a director or officer of the  Registrant  such
director or officer shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent
authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or as it may hereafter be amended.

         The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of
its directors  which provide for  indemnification  as permitted by the DGCL, and
provide that the Registrant will pay certain expenses  incurred by a director in
connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether criminal or civil, where the director's  involvement is by reason of the
fact  that he is or was a  director  of the  Registrant.  Such  amounts  include
attorneys' fees and other expenses customarily incurred in connection with legal
proceedings and, in the case of proceedings other than actions by or in the name
of the Registrant,  judgments,  fines,  penalties and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred. A director will be entitled to indemnification
under  such  agreements  if he acted  in good  faith  and in a  manner  which he
reasonably  believed  was in,  or not  opposed  to,  the best  interests  of the
Registrant,  and with  respect  to any  criminal  proceeding,  had no  reason to
believe his conduct was unlawful.




                                       2




         Article FIFTEENTH of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation,  as
amended,  generally  provides  that a director  of the  Registrant  shall not be
liable to the Registrant or its  stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary  duty,  except for any  matter  under  Section  174 of the DGCL or any
amendment  thereto  or by  reason  that,  in  addition  to  any  and  all  other
requirements for such liability,  such director (i) shall have breached the duty
of loyalty to the Registrant or its  stockholders,  (ii) in acting or failing to
act,  shall  not have  acted  in good  faith  or  shall  have  acted in a manner
involving  intentional  misconduct or a knowing  violation of law or (iii) shall
have derived an improper personal benefit.

         The  Registrant  provides  liability  insurance  for its  directors and
officers for certain  losses  arising  from claims or charges  which may be made
against  them while acting in their  capacities  as directors or officers of the
Registrant.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

     (a)  The Registrant hereby undertakes:

         (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
     a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

              (i)  To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
         Securities Act of 1933;

              (ii) To  reflect  in the  prospectus  any facts or events  arising
         after the  effective  date of the  Registration  Statement (or the most
         recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,  individually or in the
         aggregate,  represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
         in the Registration Statement;

              (iii)To include any material  information with respect to the plan
         of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration  Statement
         or  any  material  change  to  such  information  in  the  Registration
         Statement;

     provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
     the information  required to be included in a  post-effective  amendment by
     those  paragraphs is contained in periodic  reports filed with or furnished
     to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d)
     of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 that are  incorporated by reference
     in this Registration Statement.



                                       3



         (2) That,  for the  purpose  of  determining  any  liability  under the
     Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective  amendment shall be deemed
     to be a new  registration  statement  relating  to the  securities  offered
     therein,  and the offering of such  securities at that time shall be deemed
     to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective  amendment
     any  of  the  securities  being  registered  which  remain  unsold  at  the
     termination of the offering.

     (b) The Registrant  hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability  under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  each filing of the  Registrant's
annual  report  pursuant  to section  13(a) or section  15(d) of the  Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,  each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration  Statement shall be
deemed to be a new  registration  statement  relating to the securities  offered
therein,  and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,  officers and controlling  persons of
the  Registrant  pursuant  to  the  foregoing  provisions,   or  otherwise,  the
Registrant  has been advised that in the opinion of the  Securities and Exchange
Commission  such  indemnification  is against  public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore,  unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification  against  such  liabilities  (other  than  the  payment  by  the
Registrant of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer or  controlling
person of the  Registrant  in the  successful  defense  of any  action,  suit or
proceeding)  is  asserted by such  director,  officer or  controlling  person in
connection with the securities being registered,  the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit  to a  court  of  appropriate  jurisdiction  the  question  whether  such
indemnification  by it is against  public policy as expressed in the  Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                   SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the  requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant
certifies  that it has  reasonable  grounds to believe  that it meets all of the
requirements  for  filing  on Form S-8 and has  duly  caused  this  Registration
Statement  to be  signed  on its  behalf  by  the  undersigned,  thereunto  duly
authorized,  in the City of Dallas, State of Texas, on this the 15th day of May,
1997.

Halliburton Company
3600 Lincoln Plaza
500 North Akard Street
Dallas, Texas   75201-3391

Gentlemen:

         We  have  acted  as  counsel  for  Halliburton   Company,   a  Delaware
corporation  (the  "Company"),  for a number of years and are familiar  with the
Halliburton  Company  1993  Stock and  Long-Term  Incentive  Plan (the  "Plan"),
pursuant to which shares of Common Stock,  $2.50 par value ("Common Stock"),  of
the  Company  will be issued to certain  key  employees  of the  Company and its
subsidiaries.  We  have  assisted  in  the  preparation  of  the  Plan  and  the
Post-Effective  Amendment No. 1 to the  Registration  Statement on Form S-8 (the
"Amendment") to be filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  on
or about May 15, 1997 with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company
with  respect to the  offering,  sale and delivery of shares of Common Stock and
Preferred  Stock Purchase  Rights of the Company to be issued under the Plan. We
note that the Plan is not subject to the requirements of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

         In this connection,  we have examined such certificates,  documents and
records  as we  deemed  relevant  and  necessary  as a  basis  of  our  opinions
hereinafter  set forth,  including  among other  things,  the Plan and copies of
relevant  resolutions  passed by the board of directors and  stockholders of the
Company.  The Plan provides that shares of Common Stock to be issued  thereunder
may be authorized but unissued Common Stock or Common Stock  previously  issued,
reacquired and held in treasury by the Company.

         Based  upon the  foregoing,  we are of the  opinion  that the shares of
Common  Stock to be issued  pursuant to various  awards under the Plan have been
duly  authorized  and, (a) upon  compliance  by the Company  with the  pertinent
provisions of any applicable  state  securities  laws and (b) when the shares of
Common  Stock are issued and paid for in  accordance  with the terms of the Plan
and any stock option, restricted stock or other agreement pursuant to which such
shares may be issued under the Plan, such shares of Common Stock will be validly
issued,  fully paid and  nonassessable  and any related Preferred Stock Purchase
Rights shall be validly issued.
