EXHIBIT 5
[LETTERHEAD OF VINSON & ELKINS L.L.P. APPEARS HERE]
November 11, 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 this Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be
filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on or about November
20, 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, which Registration
Statement incorporates by reference the contents of the Company's earlier
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Securities and Exchange Commission File No.
333-54881). 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.
This opinion is rendered as of the effective date of the Registration
Statement. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement, but we do not admit that we are within the class of
persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933
or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
thereunder.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Vinson & Elkins L.L.P.
