All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14
and 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the effective date of this
Registration Statement, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to
this Registration Statement indicating that all securities offered hereby have

filing of such documents. Any statement contained herein or in any document

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
None.
The consolidated financial statements included in the Registrant's Annual
Reports on Form 10-K incorporated herein by reference have been audited by
Arthur Andersen LLP, independent public accountants, as indicated in their
reports with respect thereto, and are included herein in reliance upon the
authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing in giving said
reports.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Under Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the
"DGCL"), a Delaware corporation has the power, under specified circumstances, to
indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents 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 such directors, officers, employees or agents, against expenses,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
in any such action, suit or proceeding. Article X of the Registrant's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation together with Section 39 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 such 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
-2-
<PAGE>
of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws were
adopted or as may be thereafter amended. Section 39 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 39 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 any other entity against any expense, liability or
loss, regardless of whether the Registrant would have the power to indemnify
such person against such 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, provided that such provision shall not eliminate
or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty
of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to liability for
unauthorized acquisitions or redemptions of, or dividends on, capital stock) or
(iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit. Article XV of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
contains such a provision.
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.
Not applicable.

filing of the Registrant with the Commission, each of the following exhibits is

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:
(a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");
-3-
<PAGE>
(b) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of this 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 this
Registration Statement;
(c) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(a) and (1)(b) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
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.
(4) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of 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 this 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.
(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
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 Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We acted as counsel for Halliburton Company, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), in connection with the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8
(the "Registration Statement") relating to the offering and sale of up to
866,741 shares (the "Shares") of common stock, par value $2.50 per share, of
the Company pursuant to the plans set forth on the cover of the Registration
Statement (collectively, the "Plans").
Before rendering our opinion, we examined the Registration Statement, the
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the By-Laws, as amended, of the
Company and certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares to be
issued upon the exercise of stock options granted pursuant to the Plans have
been validly authorized for issuance and when the Registration Statement has
become effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and
the Shares are issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the
appropriate Plan and any underlying stock option agreement, the Shares so issued
will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement. By giving such consent, we do not admit that we are
within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the
Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
issued thereunder. For purposes of this opinion, we assume that the securities
to be issued pursuant to the Registration Statement will be issued in compliance
with all applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws.
Very truly yours,
/s/ VINSON & ELKINS L.L.P.
