          HALLIBURTON RELEASES FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS, ENERGY SERVICES
                 GROUP INCOME MORE THAN DOUBLES OVER PRIOR YEAR

         DALLAS,  Texas -- Halliburton  Company  (NYSE:HAL)  reported today that
2000 fourth quarter net income was $123 million ($0.28 per diluted share) before
charges related to its engineering and construction  businesses of $118 million,
net of taxes  ($0.27 per diluted  share).  The $123 million is an increase of 62
percent  compared  to 1999  fourth  quarter  net income  before  gain on sale of
discontinued operations of $76 million ($0.17 per diluted share) and an increase
of 19 percent  compared to 2000 third  quarter net income before gain on sale of
vessels of $103 million ($0.23 per diluted share). Including the engineering and
construction  charges,  2000 fourth quarter net income was $5 million ($0.01 per
diluted share).

         Revenues from continuing  operations were $3.2 billion  representing an
improvement  of 6 percent  versus  both the 2000  third  quarter  and the fourth
quarter of 1999.  Operating  income for the 2000 fourth quarter was $200 million
before the charges related to the engineering and  construction  business.  This
compares to 1999 fourth quarter  operating  income of $79 million and 2000 third
quarter  operating income of $159 million before the $88 million gain on sale of
vessels.  Increased  operating  income  is mostly  due to  improved  results  at
Halliburton Energy Services.

         Dave Lesar,  Halliburton's  chairman of the board,  president and chief
executive  officer,  said, " Halliburton  Energy Services and Landmark Graphics,
which operate under the Energy Services Group, continue to perform exceptionally
well. The outlook for additional  increases in earnings for  Halliburton  Energy
Services  and  Landmark  remain  very  positive  as North  American  activity is
expected to remain strong and while international activity should accelerate. As
previously announced, we have begun taking action to realign our engineering and
construction  businesses  under a  single  management  team.  This  new  team is
committed to building a profitable  engineering and  construction  business that
can operate in today's global environment."

2000 Fourth Quarter Segment Results
         The Energy  Services Group segment posted 2000 fourth quarter  revenues
of $2.3  billion  representing  an increase  of 22 percent  compared to the 1999
fourth quarter and an

Halliburton Company page 2 increase of 13 percent sequentially. Operating income for the Energy Services Group segment was $183 million before $59 million of charges related to Brown and Root Energy Services. Energy Services Group revenues in the United States increased by 37 percent from the year earlier quarter, while international revenues increased by 15 percent. Operating income improvements for the Energy Services Group segment were mostly attributable to Halliburton Energy Services where income increased approximately 260 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 1999, and increased 30 percent sequentially. This resulted in Halliburton Energy Services incremental margins of 31 percent year-over-year and 24 percent sequentially. The operating income improvement at Halliburton Energy Services was realized in all geographic regions, especially in North America, due to higher activity levels and improved pricing for products and services. In addition, operating income at Landmark Graphics more than doubled compared to 2000 third quarter reflecting higher software sales. The Engineering and Construction Group segment's fourth quarter 2000 revenues were $918 million, just short of the $1.0 billion achieved in the third quarter of this year and the $1.2 billion from the prior year quarter reflecting the continuing difficult operating environment in the downstream petroleum industry business. The segment posted an operating profit of $35 million for 2000 fourth quarter before the $134 million charge mentioned below. This compares to the third quarter profits of $41 million. The 2000 fourth quarter pre-tax charge related to the engineering and construction businesses was $193 million, with $36 million related to severance and restructuring and $157 million for project losses. The charge affected both Brown & Root Energy Services in the Energy Services Group segment and the Engineering and Construction Group segment by $59 million and $134 million, respectively. As a result of these charges, continuing operations posted a net loss of $21 million ($0.05 per diluted share). Discontinued Operations Efforts on selling the Dresser Equipment Group are proceeding well. Negotiations are in process with a purchaser. Sale of this group is expected to be announced in the near future. Income from discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2000 was $26 million ($0.06 cents per diluted share) compared to $27 million ($0.06 per diluted share) in the third quarter. Share Repurchase Program The company believed that the current stock price did not reflect the long-term potential of the company and aggressively purchased common stock under the previously announced stock repurchase program during the quarter. From September through the end of the year, over 20.4 million shares had been purchased at a cost of almost $760 million, which were paid for through short-term borrowings. -more- Page 6 of 13 Pages The Exhibit Index Appears on Page 4

Halliburton Company page 3 Technology and Business Successes During the fourth quarter, Halliburton recognized several successes - in technology, business and safety. o Landmark Graphics Corporation announced a definitive agreement to acquire PGS Data Management (PGSDM), a division of Petroleum Geo-Services ASA. The agreement has been approved by the Halliburton board of directors and is subject to various regulatory and other approvals, as well as the finalization of certain ancillary agreements. The acquisition will expand the Landmark Graphics' portfolio of market-leading technology management solutions and services by adding PGSDM's PetroBank solutions. PetroBank solutions are the industry leader for cost effective internet enabled storage, browsing and retrieval of large volumes of quality controlled exploration and production (E&P) data and information. o Enventure Global Technology a joint venture between Halliburton Energy Services and Shell Exploration & Production Company installed a second solid expandable tubular (SET) system in Shell's ultra-deepwater well in Alaminos Canyon 557, making it the world's first well to have multiple openhole SET installations, thus enabling Shell to explore the deeper objectives of this ultra-deepwater well. o Landmark Graphics Corporation has developed a new Web-enabled, risk-based decision support solution. DecisionSpaceTM represents a new paradigm for the industry by integrating technical and business tools in a virtual desktop. DecisionSpaceTM is browser-based, ASP-(application service provider) ready and designed to fully support and enable the industry's rapid utilization of the emerging e-business environment. o Landmark Graphics Corporation's industry-leading Web-based service, MyLandmarkTM , is now available exclusively to Landmark customers. My Landmark, which was developed with customer input, dramatically enhances the way customers interact with the company by delivering real-time information and knowledge resources to the end user based on the individual's perspective, needs and self-generated user profile. This new Web-based service allows Landmark's customers to access a patent-pending set of decision tools and process guides that assist customers in making more effective and rapid decisions in the exploration and development of oil and gas assets. o Halliburton Energy Services announced commercialization of MRIL(R) PrimeTime TM as yet another example of Halliburton delivering on its commitment to real time reservoir solutions and reservoir description reports for its clients. o Fasttrax, a consortium led by Brown & Root Services has been selected by the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense as the preferred bidder for a contract for the provision of Heavy Equipment Transportation Services to the British Army. -more- Page 7 of 13 Pages The Exhibit Index Appears on Page 4

Kellogg Ltd, Kellogg Brown & Root's affiliate company in London, has been awarded a contract to provide front-end engineering design services for Union Fenosa's proposed Egyptian liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in the port of Damieta in northern Egypt. The project, estimated at approximately $1 billion, calls for the development of a single-train LNG complex with an estimated capacity of 3.5 to 4 million tons per annum. o Halliburton Company and Shaw Industries Ltd's joint venture entity, Bredero-Shaw, will invest $30 million in an integrated pipecoating and fabricating facility near Mobile, Alabama. The facility will serve the offshore deepwater markets and is scheduled to open in early 2001. o Halliburton Subsea has been awarded a services contract by BP and its co-ventures for West of Shetland developments potentially valued at $24 million. The scope of the contract includes provision of subsea tie-back construction services and inspection, repair and maintenance services plus vessel provision as required for the period November 2000 to December 2001, with the possibility of additional work in 2002 and 2003. o Halliburton Worldwide Limited Oman has worked more than 600,000 hours without a lost time incident and reached the driving milestone of two million safe miles. Both milestones were reached on October 1. o Halliburton Energy Services was recently recognized for achieving 500 days without a lost-time accident on the Terra Nova project. Halliburton Energy Services is a core member of the Terra Nova Alliance, providing well construction project management and drilling and completions services to deliver the six pre-production wells. o The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) has officially recognized Halliburton Energy Services' Jet Research Center in Alvarado, Texas, as a Star site under its Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) for having an exemplary safety and health program. Jet Research Center is the first explosives manufacturing site ever to enter such a program or achieve this type of recognition from OSHA. o M.W. Kellogg Ltd., Kellogg Brown & Root's affiliate company in London, has completed the final handover of the Karsto Upgrading Project gas processing plant, 60 kilometers north of Stavanger, in Rogaland, Norway. The fast-track project was completed in less that 38 months with an exemplary health, safety and environment (HSE) record. o Halliburton Energy Services announced a capital program aimed at solidifying our market leader position. The Reservoir Monitor Tool Elite (RMT EliteTM), a slim-hole pulsed neutron logging system for use in the location and management of hydrocarbon reserves production was introduced. The new system provides operators with a timely answer for -more- Page 8 of 13 Pages The Exhibit Index Appears on Page 4

This allows oil and gas operators the opportunity to accurately evaluate the time-lapse performance of their hydrocarbon producing reservoirs, without removing the tubing from wells, consequently they are seeing tremendous benefits and cost savings when using the system.
