         On  April  28,  2003  registrant   issued  a  press  release   entitled
"Halliburton Announces First Quarter Results."

         The text of the press release is as follows:

                   HALLIBURTON ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
                $0.14 per share income from continuing operations
           $0.12 per share pro forma income from continuing operations
       Results include an $0.08 charge on the Barracuda-Caratinga Project

HOUSTON - Halliburton  (NYSE:HAL) announced today that first quarter 2003 income
from  continuing  operations was $59 million or $0.14 per diluted  share.  There
were several items impacting  continuing  operations for the quarter on an after
tax  basis:  a $34  million  charge on the  Barracuda-Caratinga  project,  a $22
million  gain  related to the sale of Mono Pumps,  a $12 million loss related to
the sale of Wellstream and a $2 million charge  associated  with the engineering
and construction portion of the proposed global settlement for asbestos.

The  after  tax  charge  of  $34  million,   or  $0.08  per  diluted  share,  on
Barracuda-Caratinga  was due to higher cost trends and some actual and committed
costs exceeding estimated costs. In addition, schedule delays added to the costs
of the project during the quarter. The Company is currently in negotiations with
Petrobras,  and  although  it  is  too  early  to  predict  the  outcome,  these
negotiations,  if successfully  concluded,  could result in a number of positive
developments including schedule relief and improved project liquidity.

The Company  believes that the effects of the net gain on the sale of Mono Pumps
and Wellstream and the charges related to the proposed global  settlement should
be  excluded  for  purposes  of  understanding  ongoing  operations.  Therefore,
excluding  these items (but  including the $0.08 charge per diluted share on the
Barracuda-Caratinga   project),   pro  forma  2003  first  quarter  income  from
continuing  operations  was $51 million or $0.12 per diluted  share.  Tables are
attached reconciling as reported amounts to pro forma amounts used in this press
release with  descriptions of the reasons why the Company believes the pro forma
amounts are useful to investors.

Net  income for the first  quarter  2003 was $43  million  or $0.10 per  diluted
share,  which  includes  a net loss from  discontinued  operations  of $0.02 per
diluted  share  and a net loss of  $0.02  per  diluted  share  for a  change  in
accounting principle.



Revenues  were  $3.1  billion  in  the  2003  first  quarter,   up  two  percent
year-over-year.  This increase is largely  attributable to increased activity in
certain  Engineering and Construction Group projects,  partially offset by lower
activity  in the  Energy  Services  Group.  Operating  income  was $142  million
compared to $123 million in the 2002 first quarter.  Pro forma operating  income
was $123 million for the 2003 first quarter,  up almost 84 percent when compared
to the 2002 first quarter. The charge for a patent infringement  judgment in the
first quarter of 2002 of $98 million was the major driver for the year-over-year
change.

"In an  environment  where  activity was down in Venezuela  and the Middle East,
Halliburton Energy Services' results compare favorably to the prior year quarter
as well as the  fourth  quarter  of  2002.  Although  I am  disappointed  by the
additional  charges on  Barracuda-Caratinga,  I believe  that  progress  on this
project is being made in our negotiations," said Dave Lesar, Chairman, President
and Chief  Executive  Officer  of  Halliburton.  "We  expect  to see  additional
improvements in our results in the second quarter as the recovery continues, and
I am optimistic that activity levels will increase during the second half of the
year, providing for accelerated earnings growth during that period."

2003 First Quarter Segment Results

The Energy Services Group posted first quarter  revenues of $1.6 billion,  a $78
million  decrease  year-over-year  due  to  the  sale  of  Mono  Pumps  and  the
contribution of Halliburton  Subsea assets to an  unconsolidated  joint venture.
These  declines were partially  offset by revenue  growth in Halliburton  Energy
Services.

Operating income for the Energy Services Group's first quarter was $180 million,
up seven  percent  year-over-year.  Energy  Services  Group pro forma  operating
income was $159 million, up over 160 percent year-over-year. The increase in pro
forma  operating  income reflects a significant  increase in Halliburton  Energy
Services  operating  income and margin compared to the prior year as well as the
charge for the patent infringement judgment in the first quarter of 2002.

The  Engineering   and   Construction   Group's  first  quarter   revenues  were
approximately $1.5 billion, up 10 percent  year-over-year.  Revenue decreases of
six percent in both  Operations & Maintenance and Offshore were more than offset
by  substantial  increases in Government  Services and Onshore  operations.  The
increase in Government  Services  revenues was  attributable to initial activity
related to Iraq. Onshore  operations  revenues were up due to increased activity
in several large projects.

The  operating  loss for the  Engineering  and  Construction  Group in the first
quarter of 2003 was $19 million, and the pro forma operating loss which excludes
asbestos  expenses was $17 million,  down $39 million from the first  quarter of
2002.  This decline is  attributable  to a $55 million charge ($34 million after
tax)  on  the  Barracuda-Caratinga  contract,  which  was  partially  offset  by
increased results in Government Services.



General corporate costs in the first quarter 2003 were $19 million,  compared to
a gain of $12 million in the first  quarter of 2002.  Last year's first  quarter
corporate   expenses   were  offset  by  a  $28  million  gain  related  to  the
demutualization of an insurance provider.

Backlog

Backlog for the  Engineering  and  Construction  Group as of March 31, 2003, was
$9.5  billion,  up  $100  million,   or  one  percent,   from  March  31,  2002.
Approximately  41 percent of the  backlog is for fixed fee  contracts  and about
half of the total backlog will be performed in the next 12 months.  Of the fixed
fee contract  backlog,  39 percent of the total relates to Onshore contracts and
25 percent  relates to Offshore with most of the remaining  balance  relating to
Government Services.

Firm orders were $7.5  billion at the end of the quarter.  The  remainder of the
backlog primarily relates to government awards not yet funded,  with the Balkans
support contract in future years representing the majority of the balance.

Discontinued Operations and Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change

The first  quarter net loss from  discontinued  operations  was $8 million after
tax, or $0.02 per diluted share. This loss reflects professional fees associated
with due  diligence  and other  aspects of the proposed  global  settlement  for
asbestos  liabilities  related to previously disposed  businesses.  The net loss
from a change in  accounting  principle  of $8 million  after tax,  or $0.02 per
diluted share, is related to the Company's January 1, 2003 adoption of Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 143, Asset Retirement Obligations.

Technology and Significant Achievements

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

    -    The Energy Services Group was awarded a $400 million  contract by BP to
         provide  products  and  services  for  their  drilling  and  completion
         activities in the Gulf of Mexico and lower 48 states  subsequent to the
         end of the quarter.  This award  represents  a 50 percent  market share
         increase with BP, with the most significant  gains occurring in logging
         and stimulation.



   -     Halliburton's  Energy  Services  Group  entered into an agreement  with
         Shell  International  Exploration  and Production for the supply of its
         PoroFlex(R)  line  of  expandable  screen  products  for  global  Shell
         consumption.  Including  options,  the contract  duration is over three
         years.  Based on information  provided,  the Company estimates that the
         total competitive  contract value is in excess of $166 million over the
         full contract duration.



   -     The Energy Services Group was awarded a $67 million contract from Shell
         Malaysia E&P to supply  Enventure  Global  Technology  Solid Expandable
         Tubular  Equipment  and Services for their  Malaysian  operations.  The
         contract  spans a  two-year  period,  with an option to extend  another
         year.

   -     Baroid has developed  BAROLIFT(TM),  a product that allows operators to
         clean downhole  during  drilling  operations by increasing the carrying
         capacity of drilling fluids without  increasing  viscosity.  As part of
         Baroid's  Lift  While You  Drill(TM)  technologies,  the  product  is a
         specially  treated  synthetic  fiber  developed from 100 percent virgin
         materials  that are capable of performing  well in any type of drilling
         fluid.  Its  interlocking  fibers keep drill  cuttings  in  suspension,
         optimizing   downhole  tool  performance  and  improving  the  rate  of
         penetration.  It is  compatible  with water,  oil, and  synthetic-based
         fluids. It is non-toxic and unaffected by sub-freezing  temperatures as
         with some liquid polymers.

   -     The Engineering and Construction  Group was awarded a contract from the
         United  Kingdom  Department  of Health  for the  provision  of  program
         management  services  for their $3.6 billion  National IT Program.  The
         program is aimed at  restructuring  and modernizing the National Health
         Service's information technology.  Subsequent to quarter end, KBR added
         $100 million to backlog related to this contract.

   -     An Engineering and Construction Group joint venture was selected as the
         winning  bidder for a $1.4  billion  contract  with BP for the  Tangguh
         project to provide design, procurement,  construction and commissioning
         services  for a LNG  plant  in  Papua,  subsequent  to  the  end of the
         quarter.

   -     Road  Management  Services  consortium,  in which  KBR is a 25  percent
         shareholder, was awarded a $400 million contract by the Highways Agency
         to upgrade to motorway standard, operate and maintain a 33-mile stretch
         of road in the United Kingdom.  The Road Management Services consortium
         comprises KBR, AMEC, Alfred McAlpine and Dragados.

   -     Landmark Graphics  Corporation signed an agreement with the Ministry of
         Energy  and  Mineral  Resources  of the  Republic  of  Kazakhstan.  The
         agreement  calls for the design,  development and  implementation  of a
         National Data Bank operation for  exploration and production data using
         Landmark's  PetroBank(TM)  technology,   the  most  advanced  networked
         multi-client  data management  system in the exploration and production
         industry.



   -     Magic Earth signed an  agreement  with  Anglo-Suisse  Inc., a privately
         held  Houston-based  independent oil company,  to utilize Magic Earth's
         GeoProbe(TM),   the  industry's   leading  volume   visualization   and
         interpretation  software.  In its Houston  visualization  center, Magic
         Earth will evaluate nearly 500 producing  blocks located in the Gulf of
