                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Profit Sharing Committee of the
Halliburton Profit Sharing and Savings Plan:

We have audited the  accompanying  statements  of net assets  available for plan
benefits of the  Halliburton  Profit Sharing and Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related  statements of changes in net assets
available  for  plan  benefits  for  the  years  then  ended.   These  financial
statements,   and  the  supplemental   schedule   referred  to  below,  are  the
responsibility  of the Plan's  management.  Our  responsibility is to express an
opinion on these  financial  statements and  supplemental  schedule based on our
audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1997 and 1996,  and the changes in its net assets  available for
plan benefits for the years then ended,  in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits  were  performed  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental  schedule of assets held
for investment  purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
is not a required part of the basic  financial  statements but is  supplementary
information  required  by the  Department  of Labor's Rules and Regulations  for
Reporting and Disclosure  under the Employee  Retirement  Income Security Act of
1974. The Fund  Information  in the statements of net assets  available for plan
benefits  and the  statements  of changes in its net assets  available  for plan
benefits is  presented  for the purpose of  additional  analysis  rather than to
present the net assets  available  for plan  benefits  and changes in net assets
available for plan  benefits of each fund.  The  supplemental  schedule and Fund
Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial  statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material  respects  in  relation to the basic  financial  statements  taken as a
whole.

                      HALLIBURTON PROFIT SHARING AND SAVINGS PLAN


                             NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996



1.  SUMMARY OF PLAN:

The  Halliburton  Profit  Sharing  and  Savings  Plan (the  "Plan") is a defined
contribution  profit sharing pension plan for qualified employees of Halliburton
Company and certain  subsidiaries  (the  "Company").  The Plan is subject to the
provisions  of the Employee  Retirement  Income  Security  Act of 1974  (ERISA).
During 1997 and 1996, the Plan consisted of four investment  funds:  the General
Investment Fund (GIF), the Fixed Income Fund (FIF),  the Halliburton  Stock Fund
(HSF) for  Halliburton  Company  common stock,  and the Equity  Investment  Fund
(EIF).

Excess  Company  profits,  if any,  are shared  with Plan  participants  through
Company  contributions  into the GIF based on a formula  as  defined by the Plan
agreement.   The  Company's  annual  contribution,   if  any,  is  allocated  to
participants based on the proportion that each participant's basic earnings,  as
defined by the Plan agreement, bear to the total basic earnings of all qualified
participants during the Plan year.  Participants are immediately vested in their
contributions.  Participants vest in their Company contributions 20% after three
years of credited  service  and 20% each  credited  year of service  thereafter.
Participants also become fully vested in their Company contributions if they are
active employees at age 50, or upon death or permanent disability  regardless of
years of service.  The Plan allows  participants  to make  monthly  transfers of
their company  contributions among the GIF, FIF, HSF, and EIF. The amount of the
transfer may be all or any portion of the participant's account balance, subject
to certain  limitations  on transfers to the HSF.  Participant's  investments of
Company  contributions  in the HSF may not  exceed  15% of their  total  Company
contributions account balance.

Participants  may elect to contribute to the tax deferred savings feature of the
Plan through periodic payroll deductions. These contributions are limited to 15%
of the participant's  gross compensation of up to $160,000 and $150,000 for 1997
and 1996,  respectively.  The Plan  participants  who  contribute  also  receive
Company matching  contributions  equal to 50% of the first 4% of a participant's
contributions.  Matching  contributions are subject to the same vesting schedule
as  the  profit  sharing   contributions  made  to  the  participants'   Company
contributions  accounts,  as  described  above.  Participant  contributions  and
matching  contributions  may be directed in whole  percentage  increments to the
GIF, FIF, and/or the EIF by the  participant,  as well as to the HSF, subject to
certain limitations.

Qualified participants may voluntarily make annual cash contributions to regular
savings  (after  tax) of a certain  amount to the GIF,  FIF,  or the EIF, or the
participants may divide their investment  allocation  between the three funds in
whole percentage  increments.  The participants may make  contributions into the
Plan either by periodic payroll deductions or by a yearly lump-sum  contribution
(regular savings only).

The  participant's  federal  income  taxes on  tax-deferred  savings and Company
contributions and earnings on regular savings are deferred until the participant
withdraws the funds from the Plan. Participants' contributions to their accounts
are fully vested when made.



<PAGE>


Upon  termination,  if a  participant's  right to any shares in his/her  Company
contributions  accounts is forfeitable,  those amounts would be allocated to the
remaining  qualified  participants.  Such forfeitures are allocated to remaining
participants on December 31 of the year in which the forfeiture  occurred in the
same manner as that of the  Company's  contributions,  as described  above.  Any
Company  matching  contributions  to tax-deferred  savings subject to forfeiture
upon  termination  are used to reduce  future  Company  matching  contributions.
Forfeitures  allocated  in this manner  totaled  $473,113  and $777,642 for Plan
years ended  1997 and 1996,  respectively.  Unallocated forfeitures for the Plan
year ended 1997 totaled $2,142.

Effective January 1, 1991, the Company created the Halliburton  Retirement Plan,
which provides  participants  of the Plan with a guaranteed  minimum  retirement
benefit.  This guaranteed  minimum is based on the  participant's  final average
pay,  years of  participation  service after January 1, 1990, and his/her age. A
participant's  post-1989 profit sharing account (Company  contributions only) is
used as an offset to the minimum guaranteed benefit.

Participants  may elect to transfer their total  retirement  plan benefit to the
Plan.  The  participant  is able to direct the transfer  into one of three funds
(GIF, FIF or the EIF).  The amount of the benefit  eligible to be rolled over is
the  actuarially  determined  amount  which is  eligible  to be  received by the
participant.  Transfers  may be made during any month of the year. A participant
is eligible for these options upon  attainment  of either the normal  retirement
age (65) or early retirement age (55 or 50 during specified periods).

The Board of Directors of the Company may amend,  modify,  or terminate the Plan
at any time. No such  termination is  contemplated,  but if it should occur, the
accounts  of all  participants  would be  immediately  fully  vested and paid in
accordance with the terms of the Plan.

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Accounting

The  accompanying  financial  statements are prepared using the accrual basis of
accounting.

Cash Equivalents

The Plan considers all highly liquid  investments  with an original  maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Allocation of Master Trust Net Investment Activity

The  allocation of Master Trust net  investment  activity  represents the Plan's
share  of  the  net  investment  income  or  loss  on  investments  held  by the
Halliburton Company Employee Benefit Master Trust ("Master Trust") determined by
the Plan's allocable share of the net assets of the Master Trust. Net investment
income or loss is the realized net gain (loss) from investments  sold, change in
the unrealized net gain (loss) on  investments,  dividend  income,  and interest
income, less related expenses recorded by the Master Trust (see Note 3).

Accrued Expenses

Accrued expenses represent amounts owed for unclaimed participant checks greater
than 90 days old and miscellaneous  administrative expenses as of the end of the
year.



<PAGE>


Administrative Expenses

Administrative   expenses  which  are  related  to  compliance  and  operational
activities as defined by the Department of Labor may be charged against the Plan
assets at the discretion of the Plan  administrator  and in accordance  with the
terms of the Plan.  Certain  expenses of the Plan are paid by the  Company.  The
Plan is not liable to the Company for these expenses paid on its behalf.

Excess Contributions

Excess  contributions  represent  pretax and after-tax  amounts  contributed  to
participant  accounts  which  exceeded the statutory  limits,  as defined by the
Internal  Revenue  Code,  and earnings  thereon.  These amounts were refunded to
participants  subsequent  to year-end  and were  included  in the  participant's
personal income.

Payment of Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.

Use of Estimates

Preparation  of the Plan's  financial  statements in conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect the  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at the date of the  Plan's
financial  statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.  MASTER TRUST:

The assets of the Plan are  combined  with the assets of certain  other  benefit
plans of affiliated  companies in the Master Trust.  There are four funds within
the Master Trust:  the GIF, FIF, EIF, and the HSF. The combination of the Plans'
assets is only for investment  purposes,  and each plan continues to be operated
under its current Plan agreement, as amended.

The funds within the Master Trust hold bank,  insurance and investment contracts
providing a fully  benefit-responsive  feature.  These investments are stated at
contract value.  Where the Trust owns the underlying  securities of asset-backed
investment  contracts,  the  contracts  are stated at fair  market  value of the
underlying  securities plus an adjustment for the difference between fair market
value of the underlying securities and contract value. Contract value represents
the  principal  balance of the  investment  plus accrued  interest at the stated
contract  rate,  less  payments  received and contract  charges by the insurance
company or bank.

Cash equivalents,  derivative financial instruments,  stock securities, bond and
notes and all other debt  securities are presented at their quoted market value.
Realized and unrealized changes in market values are recognized in the period in
which the changes occur.

The GIF invests in the EIF to obtain its equity exposure.  The EIF operates on a
unitized basis. All EIF investments are valued at the end of the month. The unit
price is  calculated  by  dividing  the total  value of the  assets by the total
number of units in existence.  Contributions  into and withdrawals from the EIF,
in the  course  of a  month,  are used to buy and  sell  units at the  preceding
month-end's unit price.

Real estate  mortgages  are stated at cost plus accrued  interest  less payments
received.



<PAGE>


Real estate holdings are stated at their  estimated  market values as determined
by an independent appraiser.

The assets of the Plan were held by the Master  Trust  during  1997 and 1996 (as
described  above) and,  accordingly,  investment  activity for 1997 and 1996 was
recorded by the Master Trust. The Master Trust  investment  activity is included
in the summary statements below.

The  following are summary  statements  of net assets and summary  statements of
changes  in net  assets of the  Master  Trust for the years  ended 1997 and 1996
(dollar amounts in thousands):

The  Master  Trust  makes use of several  investment  strategies  involving  the
limited use of  derivative  investments.  The Master  Trust's  management,  as a
matter of policy and with risk management as their primary  objective,  monitors
such risk  indicators  as duration and where  applicable,  counter-party  credit
risk.  These  are  monitored  for both the  derivatives  themselves  and for the
investment  portfolios holding the derivatives.  Investment managers are allowed
to  use  derivatives  for  such  strategies  as  portfolio  structuring,  return
enhancement,  and hedging  against  deterioration  of  investment  holdings from
market and interest rate changes.  Derivatives  are also used as a hedge against
foreign  currency  fluctuations.  The  Master  Trust  management  does not allow
investment  managers for the Master Trust to use  leveraging  for any investment
purchase.  Derivative  investments are stated at estimated fair market values as
determined by quoted market  prices.  Gains and losses on such  investments  are
included in the combining statements of changes in net assets.

4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:

dated  August  20,  1997,  that the Plan  and  related  trust  are  designed  in
accordance with the applicable  requirements  of the Internal  Revenue Code (the

6.  TRANSFER OF ASSETS:

During 1997, the Plan received $685,457 from the Enertech Engineering & Research
Co. Profit Sharing Plan (the "Enertech  Plan").  The transfer of assets from the
Enertech Plan was due to the purchase of Enertech  Engineering & Research Co. by
the Company. Former Enertech employees now participate in the Halliburton Profit
Sharing  and  Savings  Plan  and  their  former   Enertech  Plan  accounts  were
transferred into the Plan.

7.  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

State  Street Trust is the trustee  defined by the Plan.  The assets of the Plan
are held by the Master  Trust,  of which State Street Trust is also the trustee.
Therefore these assets qualify as party-in-interest.
8.  UNITS OF PARTICIPATION:

The Plan assigns units of participation to participants.  The following  details
the total  number of units and net asset value per unit as of December  31, 1997
