HALLIBURTON UNIT JOINT VENTURE WINS $331 MILLION CONTRACT

If All Options Executed Contract Could Have an Ultimate Value of $770 Million

DALLAS,  Texas  -  Brown & Root  Energy  Services  (BRES),  a  business  unit of
Halliburton  Company  (NYSE:  HAL),  announced  today that a  contract  has been
awarded to Brown & Root - Condor (a joint venture  company  between Brown & Root
and Condor Engineering SPA) by Sonatrach (The Algerian National Oil Company) and
Anadarko  Algeria  Corporation  (a US Oil Company) for the  expansion of the oil
production  facility at Hassi  Berkine  North  South  (HBNS).  The  engineering,
procurement and construction  (EPC) lump sum contract is a 26-month project that
started August 1, 1999, with a completion date of October 1, 2001.

This Stage II  contract,  valued at $331  million (US  dollars),  was awarded to
Brown & Root - Condor after successfully  completing Stage I of the contract. If
all options are  executed  for the  contract it could have an ultimate  value of
$770  million  (US  dollars).  Brown & Root - Condor  was  awarded  the  Stage I
contract on October 4, 1996, and achieved mechanical completion 18 months later,
introducing oil into the HBNS  facilities on May 4, 1998.  Stage I was the first
EPC lump sum  project  for  Sonatrach  and Brown & Root - Condor  completed  the
contract in record time.

"We are proud of our work on the Stage I contract  and look forward to executing
this  important  project,"  said Larry  Farmer,  president,  Brown & Root Energy
Services.

The  HBNS   project  is  located   1,100  km   southeast  of  Algiers  near  the

one (1)  75,000  bpd  gas/oil  separation  train,  gas  injection,  and  offsite
facilities (flowlines,  wellheads,  trunklines and field gathering stations). At
its peak, the project will be executed with a workforce of 1,200 employees.

This contract  incorporates a risk/reward  element to the compensation  model to
allow  Brown & Root -  Condor  to share in risks  and  rewards  of the  project.
Incentives are incorporated to improve project-to-project  performance and share
in value  creation.  Brown & Root has an established  track record of delivering
breakthrough results in these types of projects.
