           JOHN GIBSON NAMED PRESIDENT OF HALLIBURTON ENERGY SERVICES

DALLAS, Texas - Dave Lesar, chairman of the board, president and chief executive
officer of Halliburton  (NYSE:  HAL),  announces the appointment of John Gibson,
44, as president of the company's Halliburton Energy Services business unit.
     With more than 20 years  experience  in the energy  services  business  and
eight years with the Halliburton organization,  Gibson succeeds Jody Powers, who
has retired from the Company. Gibson has held numerous management positions with
Halliburton's   Landmark  Graphics  business  unit  including,   most  recently,
president and chief executive officer.
     "John's  extensive  experience in E&P technology and business  development,
along with his  knowledge  of the global  marketplace  provides him with a solid
track record for this position,"  said Lesar. "I believe that John's  leadership
will add to Halliburton's vision of being a real-time knowledge company."
     In the role of president  and CEO for Landmark  Graphics,  Gibson  provided
leadership  for  many of  Landmark's  strategic  relationships  with  technology
partners and has been  instrumental  in the  identification  and  acquisition of
essential  technologies for rapidly deploying  innovations and technology within
the Landmark  suite of services.  Landmark  Graphics is the leading  supplier of
software and services for the upstream oil and gas industry.

Prior to joining Landmark Graphics, Gibson worked at Chevron in various roles including the manager of geophysical and geological subsurface imaging for Chevron's Oil Field Research Company. His career in oil and gas began as an exploration geophysicist for Gulf Oil Company. Gibson is a member of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, the Society of Exploration Geophysicists and the Geological Society of America. In addition, he is a member of the Board of Directors for Parker Drilling Company (POSC) and serves on the Board of Trustees of the Houston Grand Opera.
