BROWN & ROOT TO SELL ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES BUSINESS
DALLAS, Texas -- Halliburton Company (NYSE:HAL) announced today that
its Brown & Root, Inc. subsidiary plans to sell its environmental services
business, NUS Environmental. NUS Environmental provides a wide range of
consulting, engineering and design services to federal, state and local
governments as well as to industrial clients, primarily in the United
States. While NUS Environmental has been profitable, Brown & Root is
selling the business because it does not fit its current core business
strategy. A substantial amount of consolidation has been taking place
in the environmental industry and NUS Environmental's business will
provide an excellent fit for some of the industry's participants.
Brown & Root has engaged Dillon, Read & Co. Inc. to assist in the sale.
Halliburton Company is one of the world's largest diversified
energy services, engineering, maintenance, and construction companies. Founded
in 1919, Halliburton provides a broad range of energy services and products,
industrial and marine engineering and construction services.
