this Registration Statement indicating that all securities offered hereby have

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
None.
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
-2-
<PAGE>
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 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.
ITEM 8. EXHIBITS.
Unless otherwise indicated below as being incorporated by reference to
another filing of the Registrant with the Commission, each of the following
exhibits is filed herewith:

(Exchange Act Registration No. 1-03492) filed with the Commission
on August 12, 1998).

to Exhibit 3.2 to the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form
S-3 (Registration No. 333-32731) filed with the Commission on
August 1, 1997).

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");
(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;
-3-
<PAGE>
(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 Haliburton 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
7,323,450 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 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 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.
