The DII Industries, LLC Asbestos PI Trust was created in connection with the Chapter 11 reorganization of DII Industries, LLC, formerly Dresser Industries, and affiliated debtors. It resolves asbestos liabilities associated with Halliburton and other covered entities, including separate Harbison-Walker liabilities.

Bankruptcy and Trust History
The Trust’s official history states that it was created January 20, 2005 in connection with confirmation of the Chapter 11 Joint Plan of Reorganization for DII Industries, LLC, formerly Dresser Industries, and certain affiliated debtors. The Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania entered the confirmation order July 21, 2004, and the District Court affirmed it December 1, 2004.
The Trust assumed asbestos liabilities involving the debtors, Halliburton Company and certain affiliates related to operations of Harbison-Walker Refractories Company, Kellogg Brown & Root, Dresser Industries and other covered businesses. A permanent channeling injunction directs covered asbestos claims to the Trust for resolution and payment.
Who May Qualify to File a DII Industries Claim?
The Ninth Amended TDP establishes eight asbestos-related Disease Levels and separate exposure pathways for Non-Harbison-Walker and Harbison-Walker claims. A claimant may potentially assert separate claims based on qualifying exposure to more than one covered entity, but the TDP limits the recoverable liquidated value for multiple-exposure claims.
Claimants must submit a completed Proof of Claim with supporting medical and exposure documentation. The Trust’s current FAQ states that a claimant does not have to hire an attorney to file a claim and that electronic filing is available after registration through the Trust’s Electronic Filer Agreement.

Current DII Industries Payment Percentage
The official Trust website currently states a 60% Payment Percentage. Expedited Review claims are paid at 60% of the applicable current Scheduled Value. Individual Review claims are paid at 60% of the Liquidated Amount. Disease Level I is treated separately under the TDP.
Mathematical illustration only — not a guaranteed payment.
- HAL Mesothelioma: $60,718.95 × 60% = $36,431.37.
- HAL Lung Cancer 1: $9,872.14 × 60% = $5,923.28.
- HW Mesothelioma: $144,897.50 × 60% = $86,938.50.
- HW Lung Cancer 1: $47,662.25 × 60% = $28,597.35.
Actual payment depends on whether the claim is HAL or HW, eligibility, review method, Liquidated Amount, current Payment Percentage, FIFO and annual-payment limitations, releases, offsets and other TDP provisions.
Expedited and Individual Review
Expedited Review is available for claims that can readily be verified as satisfying presumptive medical and exposure criteria, except Lung Cancer 2, Foreign Claims and certain other claim types that require Individual Review. Allowed ER claims receive the applicable current Scheduled Value before application of the Payment Percentage.
Individual Review is available for claimants who do not satisfy presumptive criteria and for qualifying Disease Levels IV, V, VII and VIII when a claimant seeks a claim-specific Liquidated Amount. An IR value can be higher or lower than the ER Scheduled Value and is subject to the applicable Maximum Value unless a special TDP provision applies.
The Trust processes claims using FIFO procedures and states that it attempts to provide an initial response within six months after receiving the claim form. Current filing is available online after registration, or by submitting the appropriate Trust claim materials.
Medical and Exposure Requirements
The TDP requires disease-specific medical proof and qualifying exposure evidence. The Trust’s FAQ states that medical and exposure documentation supporting the alleged injury must accompany the completed claim form.
Exposure requirements differ depending on the disease and whether the claim involves a Halliburton/Non-Harbison-Walker entity or a Harbison-Walker entity. Certain disease levels require duration of entity-specific exposure plus Significant Occupational Exposure. Secondary Exposure, Foreign and Indirect Claims have specialized Individual Review requirements.
The Trust maintains current product, operations, entity, occupation and documented-site resources to assist claimants with exposure evidence. Its Documented Site List continued to be updated during 2025 and again in 2026.
2025 Financial and Claims Statistics
The Trust’s 2025 Annual Report, filed April 30, 2026, includes audited special-purpose financial statements and a detailed claims-disposition exhibit:

- Total liabilities: $178,986,866.
- Net claimants’ equity: $1,149,918,344.

- Total claims paid in 2025: 7,595 totaling $118,806,670.48 across the two schedules.
- Mesothelioma claims paid in 2025: 950 HAL claims totaling $40,537,404.13 and 467 HW claims totaling $43,927,037.93.
The annual report keeps HAL and HW claims separate, so this page does the same. Current assets are taken from the audited 2025 statements rather than inferred from historical Trust funding.
