        HALLIBURTON SELLS INDUSTRIAL SERVICES BUSINESS UNIT

     DALLAS, Texas -- Halliburton Company (NYSE-HAL) today
announced that its Brown & Root Industrial Services, Inc.
subsidiary has completed the sale of the assets of its
Halliburton Industrial Services Division to HydroChem Industrial
Services, Inc.

     The Halliburton Industrial Services business unit provides
chemical cleaning, hydrojetting and vacuum removal services to
industrial customers throughout the United States.  In 1993 the
business had revenues of about $45 million.  The sale will have
no material impact on Halliburton's earnings for the 1995 first
quarter.  Such action is consistent with Halliburton Company's
other recent actions to sell businesses that are peripheral to
its core activities.

     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, and property and
casualty insurance services.
