ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Halliburton's common stock is registered under Section 12 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and, accordingly, no description is provided hereunder.
Under the Halliburton Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan, non-employee
Directors of Halliburton may at any time elect to defer all or a portion of
their compensation for services as a Director until after their Board service
terminates. The amounts of compensation deferred by participants under the Plan
are referred to as "Deferred Compensation Obligations." The Plan is administered
by a committee of Directors (the "Committee") appointed by Halliburton's Board
of Directors.
A participant may elect to have his or her deferred compensation and
earnings thereon held subject to interest ("Deferred Compensation Account") or
translated into stock equivalents based on Halliburton's common stock ("Stock
Equivalents Account"). Amounts allocated to a participant's Deferred
Compensation Account is credited quarterly with an amount equivalent to interest
at Citibank N.A.'s prime rate for major corporate borrowers. The number of stock
equivalents, or fractions thereof, to be credited quarterly to a participant's
Stock Equivalents Account is determined by dividing the amount of deferred
compensation by the market price of Halliburton's common stock on the last
trading day of the fiscal quarter. Such Stock Equivalents Account is also
credited with any dividends or other distributions paid during the quarter which
the participant would have received if he or she had been the owner of the
number of shares of common stock equal to the number of stock equivalents in his
or her Stock Equivalents Account on the applicable record date.
The Deferred Compensation Obligations will be payable following termination
of Board service in one of the following forms, as determined by the Committee
(defined below) in its sole discretion: (a) single lump sum; (b) five equal
annual installments; or (c) ten equal annual installments. The lump sum payment
or initial annual installment will be distributed on the last business day of
January following the close of the calendar year in which service terminates. If
a participant should die, the undistributed balance of his or her account(s)
will be paid to his or her estate or personal representative as soon as
administratively feasible. Amounts from a participant's Stock Equivalents
Account will be distributed in shares of Halliburton's common stock.
The Deferred Compensation Obligations are unsecured general obligations of
Halliburton and will rank equally with other unsecured indebtedness of
Halliburton. Benefits under the Plan may not be assigned or alienated, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, other than by will or the applicable laws of
descent and distribution.
Halliburton may amend or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however,
that no such amendment or termination may deprive a participant of the amounts
allocated to his or her account(s) or be retroactive in effect to the prejudice
of any participant.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
None.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or
DGCL, provides that a Delaware corporation has the power, under specified
circumstances, to indemnify its directors, officers, employees, and agents.
Indemnification is allowed in connection with threatened, pending, or completed
actions, suits, or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or
investigative, other than an action by or in right of the corporation, brought
against them by reason of the fact that they were or are directors, officers,
employees, or agents, for:
- - expenses, judgments, and fines; and
- - amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in any action,
suit, or proceeding.
Article X of the Registrant's restated certificate of incorporation together
with Section 47 of its by-laws provide for indemnification of each person who is
or was made a party to any actual or threatened civil, criminal, administrative,
or investigative action, suit, or proceeding because:
- - the person is or was an officer or director of the Registrant; or
- - is a person who is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a
director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture trust, or other enterprise, including service
relating to employee benefit plans,
to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it existed at the time the
indemnification provisions of the Registrant's restated certificate of
incorporation and the by-laws were adopted or as may be amended. Section 47 of
the Registrant's by-laws and Article X of its restated certificate of
incorporation expressly provide that they are not the exclusive methods of
indemnification.
Section 47 of the by-laws provides that the Registrant may maintain
insurance, at its own expense, to protect itself and any director, officer,
employee, or agent of the Registrant or of another entity against any expense,
liability, or loss. This insurance coverage may be maintained regardless of
whether the Registrant would have the power to indemnify the person against the
expense, liability, or loss under the DGCL.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a certificate of incorporation
may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a
director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duty as a director. However, that provision shall not eliminate or
limit the liability of a director:
- - for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders;
- - for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
- - under Section 174 of the DGCL, relating to liability for unauthorized
acquisitions or redemptions of, or dividends on, capital stock; or
- - for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
Article XV of the Registrant's restated certificate of incorporation contains
this type of provision.
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.
Not applicable.

Counsel of Halliburton, as to the legality of the securities being
registered.
23.1 Consent of Arthur Andersen LLP.
23.2 Consent of Susan S. Keith (included in Exhibit 5.1).

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
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, as amended (the "1933 Act");
(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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not
exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent not more than a 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective 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 (1)(i) and (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 the Commission by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act,
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.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that for the purposes of
determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 , as amended (the "Exchange Act")(and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the 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.
Insofar as indemnification of liabilities arising under the 1933 Act 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 Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the 1933 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 1933 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 8th day of
January, 2002.

[COMPANY LETTERHEAD]
January 8, 2002
Halliburton Company
3600 Lincoln Plaza
500 North Akard Street
Dallas, Texas 75201-3391
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am acting as counsel to Halliburton Company, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the
"Registration Statement") to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, relating to the offering and issuance of $10 million of
Deferred Compensation Obligations (the "Obligations"), including an
indeterminate number of shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $2.50
per share (the "Shares"), pursuant to the Halliburton Company Directors'
Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended and restated effective February 1, 2001
(the "Plan").
As such counsel, I have participated in the preparation of the Registration
Statement and am familiar with the Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and By-Laws, as well as the Plan. I have also examined and
reviewed such other corporate proceedings, certificates, instruments and
documents as I considered necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion.
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions and qualifications
stated herein, I am of the opinion that (a) the Plan, as amended and restated,
has been duly and validly approved by the Company; (b) the Obligations have been
duly and validly authorized by the Company; (c) when issued in accordance with
the provisions of the Plan, the Obligations will be binding obligations of the
Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Plan,
except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
fraudulent conveyance and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors'
rights generally, and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether
that enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; (d) the
Shares to be issued pursuant to the Plan have been validly authorized for
issuance; and (e) the Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms of the
Plan, will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
The foregoing opinion is limited to the federal securities laws of the
United States, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the laws
of the State of Texas.
This opinion is rendered as of the effective date of the Registration
Statement. I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the use of my name wherever appearing in the
Registration Statement and any amendment thereto. In giving this consent, I do
not thereby admit that I am within the category of persons whose consent is
required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of
the Commission promulgated thereunder.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Susan S. Keith
