Halliburton fires two execs

The terminations occurred because of violations of Halliburton's and Dresser's codes of business conduct that, to Halliburton's knowledge, involve the receipt by these persons of improper personal benefits. Evidence of these violations was uncovered in connection with the previously disclosed investigation related to the construction and subsequent expansion by TSKJ of a natural gas liquefaction facility in Nigeria.

"While we do not know all of the facts related to the issue, we are taking these actions in response to the facts that we do have and to protect our investors, employees, customers and vendors as several investigations proceed," said Dave Lesar, chairman, president and chief executive officer, Halliburton.
