                HALLIBURTON ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER RESULTS


DALLAS,  Texas -- Halliburton  Company  (NYSE:HAL)  reported today first quarter
2002 net income from  continuing  operations of $83 million or $0.19 per diluted
share,  excluding nonrecurring items, but inclusive of an $8 million pretax loss
($0.01 after-tax per diluted share) related to the Argentina peso's devaluation.
Including  nonrecurring  items,  2002 first  quarter net income from  continuing
operations was $50 million ($0.12 per diluted  share).  Total net income was $22
million ($0.05 per diluted share).  Discontinued operations included $28 million
after-tax for asbestos-related expenses ($0.07 per diluted share).

Nonrecurring  items in the 2002 first  quarter  resulted  in a $33  million  net
charge  after-tax  and  consisted  of: the gain on the sale of  European  Marine
Contractors   Ltd.  (EMC);  a  gain  from  shares   received   relating  to  the
demutualization  of an insurance  provider;  the  write-off of  asbestos-related
receivables  due from  Highlands  Insurance  Company;  an accrual for an adverse
patent  infringement  verdict that the Company will appeal;  and severance costs
associated with the Company's reorganization. The first quarter 2001 includes $9
million, net of tax, in goodwill amortization compared to no amortization in the
first quarter of 2002. Tables outlining  nonrecurring items and a reconciliation
of  reported  amounts  to pro  forma  amounts  used in this  press  release  are
attached.

Revenues from  continuing  operations were $3 billion in the 2002 first quarter,
down slightly from a year ago.  Operating income before  nonrecurring  items was
$176 million for the quarter,  down 16 percent  from last year,  excluding  2001
goodwill amortization.  Reduced gas drilling activities in the United States and
Canada resulted in lower revenues and profit margins.

"Our first  quarter  results were in line with our peers and down from last year
due to weaker North American industry  conditions,"  said Dave Lesar,  chairman,
president  and chief  executive  officer,  Halliburton.  "I'm  pleased  with the
Engineering & Construction  Group's solid  improvement over last year,  although
this was offset by lower results in Halliburton Energy Services, consistent with
the decline in customer activity."

Corporate Reorganization

Halliburton  Company is in the process of a  reorganization  in which the Energy
Services and the Engineering and Construction  groups will be separated into two
wholly-owned  operating  subsidiary  groups.  The separation of these businesses
will  create  two  stronger,   leaner,   more  competitive  and   cost-efficient
organizations.  While the Company  incurred $11 million  before tax in severance
costs  during  the  quarter,   the  majority  of  the  reorganization  costs  --
principally  severance and restructuring costs -- will be incurred in the second
quarter.

2002 First Quarter Segment Results

The  Energy  Services  Group  posted  first  quarter  revenues  of  $2  billion,
representing  a 2.5 percent  decrease  compared to the 2001 first  quarter and a
nine  percent  decrease  from the 2001  fourth  quarter.  Lower  North  American
drilling activity was the primary reason for the lower revenues. Energy Services
Group  revenues in the United  States  decreased  by 20 percent  year-over-year,
while international revenues increased by 11 percent. Within the Energy Services
Group,  revenues  at  Halliburton  Energy  Services  decreased  by five  percent
year-over-year  principally in North America,  partially  offset by increases in
the Eastern  Hemisphere.  In addition,  Halliburton  Energy  Services'  revenues
decreased by nine percent sequentially.

Operating  income,  as reported  for the first  quarter for the Energy  Services
Group, was $162 million, a decrease of 22 percent year-over-year, excluding 2001
goodwill  amortization.  Excluding  nonrecurring  items,  Energy  Services Group
operating income was $157 million, a decrease of 24 percent  year-over-year.  Of
this amount,  Halliburton Energy Services'  operating income was $159 million, a
decrease  of 19 percent  year-over-year  and 36 percent  sequentially.  Landmark
Graphics  delivered another strong performance in revenues and profit during the
first quarter.

The Engineering and Construction Group's first quarter revenues were $1 billion,
down eight percent from the 2001 first quarter.  Operating  income  increased 41
percent  year-over-year  to $31 million for the first  quarter,  excluding  2001
goodwill  amortization.  Excluding  severance  costs,  operating  income was $35
million, resulting in a margin of 3.4 percent.

Backlog

Backlog for the Company as of March 31,  2002,  was $9.8  billion,  comprised of
$7.7 billion for the Engineering and Construction Group and $2.1 billion for the
Energy Services Group.

General Corporate

General  corporate  costs of $70  million  include an $80 million  write-off  of
asbestos-related  insurance  receivables from Highlands  Insurance  Company,  $5
million for engineering and construction  asbestos-related  expenses, $2 million
in severance costs and a $28 million gain from shares  received  relating to the
demutualization of an insurance provider.

Discontinued Operations

The  first  quarter  net  loss  from  discontinued  operations  was $28  million
after-tax ($0.07 per diluted share), which reflects asbestos-related expenses of
previously  disposed  businesses and a $40 million payment ($26 million,  net of
tax) to the parent company of Harbison-Walker Refractories Company. This payment
was made concurrent with  Harbison-Walker's  bankruptcy  petition to protect the
insurance asset shared between Dresser Industries Inc. and  Harbison-Walker.  In
the 2001 first quarter, net income from discontinued  operations was $22 million
($0.05 per diluted share),  reflecting  contributions  by the Dresser  Equipment
Group, which was sold in April 2001.

Technology and Significant Achievements

Halliburton  recently  announced  a number of  advances  in  technology  and new
contract awards including:

    o   Nigeria  LNG  Limited  has  awarded  the  engineering,  procurement  and
        construction (EPC) contract for the realization   of  the trains 4 and 5
        expansion project, at  its  existing  $3.8 billion liquefied natural gas
        facility to a joint  venture  team, which includes KBR. The  partners of
        the equal joint venture  team, known as TSKJ,  will have an EPC contract
        valued at over $1.7 billion.

    o   Halliburton KBR  and  Hunt  Oil  Company's  Camisea LNG Company signed a
        contract for the  front-end   engineering  design of a four million tons
        per  annum liquefied natural  gas  (LNG)  facility.  The  scope  of  the
        project includes  studying the feasibility of building a grassroots  LNG
        liquefaction facility  for  exporting liquefied natural gas from Peru to
        the Baja area of Mexico  and California.  The front end work,  scheduled
        for completion  in October 2002, could  yield a cost estimate comparable
        to other such LNG projects of around $1 billion.

    o   Halliburton KBR  has  been  awarded  a  contract  to  provide  Front End
        Engineering Design for  BP Angola BV's (Block 18)  Greater Plutonio Deep
        Water Development of Angola.  The work  includes  further development of
        the engineering design and preparation of  invitation  to tender for the
        main execution contracts.  The  work  is expected to be completed by the
        end of 2002.

    o   Landmark  Graphics  announced  the   release   of  two  industry-leading
        technologies,  ProMAX(TM) and  VIP(TM)  for  the Linux operating system.
        Linux versions  of ProMAX(TM)  for  seismic  processing  and VIP(TM) for
        reservoir  simulation  provide   valuable   price-performance   customer
        benefits.  Customers  can now achieve  supercomputer-level  productivity
        and  processing  on  personal  computers  through  these  cost-effective
        information technology configurations.

    o   Halliburton  International  Inc.  and  Sibneft, signed an agreement that
        will give Halliburton the   ability to deploy all of its product service
        lines to  serve  Sibneft's  Russian  oil  and  gas  operations.  Sibneft
        intends  to  use   Halliburton's  new   technologies   to  improve  well
        construction and production processes and overall project management.

    o   Halliburton  Energy  Services  introduced  its  FullDrift(TM)   drilling
        suite, which includes  the SlickBore(TM)  matched  drilling system,  the
        Geo-Pilot(TM) rotary  steerable system,  and  the new SlickBore Plus(TM)
        drilling and reaming system.  The  new  suite  of  tools greatly reduces
        hole  spiraling  and  tortuosity  lowering  well  construction costs and
        improving LWD/MWD tool performance.

    o   Halliburton  Energy  Services  performed  the   first  data  acquisition
        project  using  the Acoustic Telemetry System for Gaz de France, off the
        coast of the Netherlands.  Acoustic  signals  were  transmitted  through
        production tubing, allowing   bottomhole  reservoir data to be monitored
        at  surface  without   the  use   of  electrical  cables,  reducing  the
        dependency  on  wireline  operations.   Using  this  advanced technology
        resulted in enhanced control over the well clean  up  and  well  testing
        operations while lowering the  cost and  improving  the  quality  of the
        reservoir data.

    o   Landmark  Graphics  announced  the  release  of  SpecDecomp(TM),  a new,
        innovative   reservoir  imaging  and interpretation technology solution.
        SpecDecomp(TM)   provides   greater resolution  of reservoir boundaries,
        heterogeneities and thickness than  previously possible with traditional
        broadband seismic displays.

    o   Halliburton Energy  Services has won awards worth $100 million to supply
        both   well  construction   and   formation   evaluation   services   on
        TotalFinaElf's (TFE) Amenam/Kpono project  in Nigeria. This is the first
        time  TFE  has  ever  entrusted  so  many  components  of  a  project to
        Halliburton.  Located  in  shallow  water, the Amenam/Kpono project will
        consist of 31 wells, including some  of the deepest wells ever completed
        in Nigeria - up to 22,300 feet.  They  will also be some  of the hottest
        wells ever completed - up to 300  degrees  Fahrenheit at 3,850 meters in
        vertical depth.

    o   Halliburton Energy  Services  recently  won  several  contracts with the
        Korea  National  Oil  Corporation  to  provide drilling fluids, drilling
        bits, coring services, MWD  (measurement-while-drilling) and directional
        drilling operations, and bundled subsea well completion services.
