HALLIBURTON SETTLES THIRTY ASBESTOS CLAIMS
Dallas, Texas - Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) announced today that it settled a group
of thirty mesothelioma and lung cancer cases pending in New York at a value
consistent with the company's historical averages for these types of claims. It
is Halliburton's policy not to announce settlements reached during the ordinary
course of litigation unless they are material. However, at the company's recent
meeting with analysts and investors there were numerous inquiries with respect
to the status of these particular cases, which includes one that had been
presented to a jury. The company does not intend to change this policy by
issuing the current statement, but an exception has been made because of
widespread investor interest in these particular cases.
Halliburton, founded in 1919, is one of the world's largest providers 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 Energy
Services Group and Engineering and Construction Group business segments. The
