-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.halliburton.com/corp/about_background.asp <A HREF="http://www.halliburton.com/corp/about_background.asp">Who We Are | Our History </A> ----- Halliburton and Brown & Root have been the mainstays of the company since 1962 when they joined forces to form a unique and powerful corporate entity. And now through the merger with Dresser Industries, a world-class energy services company with its own history of success in the oil and gas business, Halliburton Company continues to offer additional value-added solutions to the energy industry. Erle P. Halliburton founded Halliburton in 1919. His ingenious oil well service methods revolutionized the oil industry. His grit and willingness to accept risk helped his company to rapidly grow into a worldwide oil field service company. Herman Brown, with his brother George, created one of the premier engineering and construction firms in the world. Also founded in 1919, Brown & Root ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Building on the tireless efforts of its workers and the merger with Dresser Industries, Halliburton Company has raised the bar to serve its customers better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ embarked upon projects that the faint of heart wouldn't touch -- delving into the earth's core and revolutionizing earth sciences, designing and building massive industrial structures including platforms for deepwater oil and gas exploration, and aiding astronauts in their exploration of outer space. Dresser Industries was established as an energy services company in western Pennsylvania in 1880 during the nation's initial oil boom. In the 1930s, the company made a dramatic expansion into the compressor industry, leading to the next four decades of strong growth. In 1987, the acquisition of The M.W. Kellogg Company, the premier technology-oriented contractor for hydrocarbon processing projects, created a leading service role in downstream engineering and construction. Since this key acquisition, Dresser has concentrated on increasing its upstream supply capabilities and providing products, services and solutions for subsea oil and gas production projects. | About | Year 2000 | Publications | Locations | Investor Relations | Sitemap | Training | Supplier Relations | Contact | ----- Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.
