HALLIBURTON REPORTS 1999 THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS
DALLAS, Texas -- Halliburton Company (NYSE:HAL) reports today that the
company's 1999 third quarter net income was $58 million ($ .13 per share
diluted) compared to a loss of $527 million ($1.20 per share diluted) in the
1998 third quarter. The year earlier quarter was impacted by a $722 million
($1.64 per share diluted) after- tax special charge related to the company's
merger with Dresser Industries, Inc. and other restructuring activities.
Halliburton's consolidated revenues totaled $3.5 billion in the 1999 third
quarter, approximately four percent below 1999's second quarter and 16 percent
below the year ago quarter. Reduced worldwide spending by energy industry
customers, which accounted for approximately 85 percent of Halliburton's 1998
revenues, was the principal factor in reduced revenues and income.
The Energy Services Group business segment's revenues in the 1999 third
quarter were $1.7 billion, somewhat higher than the 1999 second quarter, and was
about 21 percent lower compared to the year ago quarter. The Halliburton Energy
Services business unit's 1999 third quarter revenues were four percent higher
than the preceding quarter, while Landmark Graphics Corporation's revenues were
12 percent higher than the preceding quarter. These improvements, particularly
in North America, indicate that customers are beginning to selectively increase
spending in response to higher crude oil and natural gas prices which are now
increasing cash flows.

The Energy Services Group's operating income was $56 million in the
1999 third quarter, a 15 percent increase compared to the 1999 second quarter
but down from $263 million in the year ago quarter.
The Engineering and Construction Group business segment's revenues of
$1.3 billion declined eight percent in the 1999 third quarter compared to last
year's quarter, and 1999 third quarter operating income of $41 million compares
to the year earlier quarter's $54 million. Declines in revenues and operating
income were experienced at the Kellogg Brown & Root business unit, but both
revenues and operating income improved at the Brown & Root Services business
unit primarily due to increased work under contracts to support U.S. Army
activity in the Balkans.
The Dresser Equipment Group business segment's revenues were $560
million and the operating income was $33 million in the 1999 third quarter. The
segment's results were negatively impacted by lower than anticipated financial
results at the Dresser-Rand and Ingersoll Dresser Pump joint ventures which
contributed approximately $6 million to the segment's operating income for the
quarter. Recently Halliburton announced plans to sell its interests in both
joint ventures to Ingersoll-Rand Company for cash consideration that will total
approximately $1.1 billion. Simultaneous with the closings of these sales,
Halliburton will repay the joint ventures approximately $220 million of
outstanding advances made to the company. Net of taxes and all related costs,
the sales will result in a net cash inflow of approximately $630 million which
will be used to repay short-term debt, significantly strengthening Halliburton's
balance sheet, and for other general corporate purposes. The transactions are
scheduled to be completed on December 30, 1999 and will result in a 1999 fourth
quarter after-tax gain of approximately $380 million, or $ .84 per share
diluted. Based upon the company's analysis, advice from its independent auditors
and consultation with the SEC, Halliburton has concluded that the sale of the
joint venture interests will not adversely affect the pooling of interests
method of accounting used for the Dresser merger in 1998.

During the 1999 third quarter, Halliburton Company business units were
awarded a number of significant new contracts and were recognized for
technological performance, including the following:

o Hart's Oil and Gas World magazine awarded Halliburton Energy
Services a Certificate of Achievement for new technology. The
award recognized Halliburton Energy Services' success in
applying the advanced technology of MRIL to propped fracture
treatments.
Dick Cheney, Halliburton Company's chief executive officer, said,
"Significantly higher crude oil and natural gas prices have lifted customers'
cash flows considerably, and they are now beginning to increase spending in
certain geographic areas, particularly in North America. I am optimistic that as
our customers' year 2000 spending budgets are finalized, we will see further
activity increases throughout the world."
Cheney continued, "Halliburton's presence in over 120 countries around
the world, its leading edge technologies which enable customers to lower costs
while improving oil and gas production, and the company's strong engineering and
construction backlog position Halliburton well for the expected market growth
ahead."

of products and services to the petroleum and energy industries. The company
serves its customers with a broad range of products and services through its
