Halliburton Updates SEC Status
HOUSTON, Texas -- Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) was advised today by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) that it has formalized its investigation of the
company's disclosure and accounting for cost overruns on certain engineering and
construction jobs. To the company's knowledge, the investigation has not
expanded beyond these matters. Halliburton intends to continue cooperating with
the SEC staff. The company believes that a formal investigation is a necessary
step toward the resolution of this matter. This allows the SEC to obtain
information from third parties and assures the company's continuing cooperation.
Halliburton, founded in 1919, is one of the world's largest providers 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 and Engineering and Construction Group business segments. The
