              HALLIBURTON REPORTS $.17 PER SHARE OPERATING EARNINGS
                             FOR 1999 FOURTH QUARTER

         DALLAS,  Texas -- Halliburton  Company  (NYSE:HAL) today announces 1999
fourth  quarter  net income of $235  million  ($. 53 per share  diluted),  which
includes  an  extraordinary  gain of $159  million net of taxes ($. 36 per share
diluted) on the sale of Halliburton's  49 percent interest in  Ingersoll-Dresser
Pump.  Excluding  the  extraordinary  gain,  Halliburton's  1999 fourth  quarter
operating net income was $76 million ($ .17 per share  diluted)  compared to $58
million ($ .13 per share  diluted)  in the 1999 third  quarter  and $66  million
($.15 per shared diluted) in the year ago quarter.  Revenues for the 1999 fourth
quarter  increased seven percent  sequentially to $3.8 billion,  down 12 percent
from the year earlier quarter.

         For the full year, Halliburton's 1999 revenues were $14.9 billion, down
from 1998  revenues  of $17.4  billion.  Net income was $265  million ($ .60 per
share  diluted)  in 1999  before  the  extraordinary  item,  the  effects  of an
accounting change and special credits.  This compares to $731 million ($1.67 per
share diluted) before special charges in 1998.

         The Energy  Services  Group's  1999  fourth  quarter  revenues  of $1.9
billion  increased  10 percent  sequentially  and were up in all three  business
units.  This was led by Landmark  Graphics,  up by 22 percent,  and  Halliburton
Energy Services,  up eight percent.  Compared to the year ago quarter,  revenues
for this business segment declined 14 percent.  In the U.S., 1999 fourth quarter
revenues increased 17 percent  sequentially and increased seven percent over the
prior year quarter.  Halliburton  Energy  Services' U.S.  revenues  increased 26
percent   sequentially.   Internationally,   revenues  increased  seven  percent
sequentially and decreased 22 percent compared to the prior year.  International
revenues represented 69 percent of the segment's 1999 fourth quarter total.

         The Energy Services Group's fourth quarter 1999 operating income of $60
million increased seven percent  sequentially,  with Halliburton Energy Services

up 45 percent  and  Landmark  Graphics  up 245  percent,  offset by a 90 percent
decline at Brown & Root Energy  Services.  Compared to the prior year's quarter,
operating  income for this segment  decreased 50 percent as improvements in U.S.
markets were more than offset by weakness in international markets.

         The Engineering and Construction  Group's revenues were $1.2 billion in
the 1999 fourth quarter, down from $1.3 billion a year earlier. Operating income
for this  business  segment  was $40  million  for the  quarter  compared to $50
million in the year ago quarter.  Revenues and operating  income at Brown & Root
Services were significantly  higher than the prior year's quarter resulting from
increased  activity  levels  supporting the U.S. Army in the Balkans.  Financial
results at Kellogg Brown & Root were lower due to reduced spending by downstream
petroleum industry customers and timing delays affecting some projects.

         The Dresser  Equipment  Group's 1999 fourth  quarter  operating  income
increased 79 percent to $109  million from $61 million in the prior year,  while
revenues   declined  four  percent.   All  product  service  lines   experienced
significant increases in operating income due to the benefits of cost reductions
and restructuring  activities,  and finished the year with positive momentum for
continued strong performance.

         Excluding Dresser Rand and IDP,  Halliburton's backlog was $9.5 billion
at December 31, 1999, down four percent sequentially and seven percent below the
year earlier level of $10.2 billion.  However,  with higher crude oil prices and
an improved outlook for the petroleum industry, a number of significant projects
are in the offing to improve backlog,  such as the recently announced  deepwater
development  projects of the Barracuda and Caratinga  fields in offshore  Brazil
valued at more than $2.5 billion.

         Recently,  Halliburton  Company business units were awarded a number of
significant new contracts, including :

         o        A  Kellogg  Brown & Root  consortium  has been  awarded a $1.5
                  billion  lump-sum  contract by Malaysia LNG TIGA Sdn.  Bhd. to
                  expand  an LNG  complex  into what  will be the  largest  such
                  facility in the world.

         o        Brown & Root Energy  Services  was selected for a $175 million
                  EPC  contract by TM Power  Ventures,  a joint  venture of TECO
                  Power Services Corporate and Mosbacher Power Partners.

         Halliburton has continued,  despite  market conditions, to aggressively
spend  to  develop  new  technologies,   leaving  the  company  poised  to  meet
opportunities  as activity  picks up.  Halliburton is  strategically  focused on
utilizing the breadth of our product service lines to develop technologies in an
integrated  environment,  which results  in total  solutions  for  Halliburton's
clients.

          "While other  companies  comment about a multilateral  completion here
and there,  Halliburton's  Sperry-Sun  Drilling has achieved the installation of
its 200th  multilateral  system" said Dick Cheney,  Halliburton  Company's chief
executive  officer.  "Also, of the top 22 producing wells in the Gulf of Mexico,
all but three were completed by Halliburton  Energy Services.  Our record speaks
for itself."

         During the 1999 fourth  quarter,  Halliburton  Company  accomplished  a
number of significant technological milestones, including:

         o        The first  expandable casing from our  Enventure joint venture
                  with Shell  was installed on a project  in the Gulf of Mexico.
                  This success  is the first step into a technology that has the
                  potential to revolutionize the drilling industry.

         o        Field trials of Halliburton's  new  Ex-Tension  Pac (high rate
                  water  pack technology)  have resulted in more than double the
                  anticipated production rates.  This technology  will be rolled
                  out   globally  this  year   and  can  be   used  to  increase
                  productivity  even  in   economically  challenged  fields  and
                  locations where high pressure pumping equipment is not readily
                  available.

         "Halliburton's  continued strong capital spending  targeted on emerging
technologies,  combined with its extensive worldwide operational  infrastructure
and broad array of products and services, position it well for 2000 and beyond,"
said Dick Cheney.

         "My  optimism is  bolstered by strong  worldwide  economic  conditions,
increasing worldwide demand for crude oil, good balance of crude oil demand with
supply from both OPEC and non-OPEC  producers,  and strong current crude oil and
natural gas prices that are  providing  excellent  cash flows for  Halliburton's
customers.  These  customers plan to increase  their  worldwide 2000 spending by
slightly  more  then  10  percent,  which  will  likely  be  most  evidenced  in
Halliburton's performance in the second half of the year," added Cheney.

         Halliburton  Company,  founded in 1919, is the world's largest provider
of products and services to the  petroleum  and energy  industries.  The company
serves its  customers  with a broad range of products and  services  through its
Energy Services Group,  Engineering and Construction Group and Dresser Equipment
Group business  segments.  The company's  World Wide Web site can be accessed at
