Note 5 - The Corporation uses futures, forward, option and swap contracts
to reduce the impact of fluctuations in the prices of crude oil,
natural gas and refined products. These contracts correlate to
movements in the value of inventory and the prices of crude oil
and natural gas, and as hedges, any resulting gains or losses are
recorded as part of the hedged transaction. Net unrealized losses
on the Corporation's petroleum hedging activities were
approximately $18,000 at March 31, 1995.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income for the first quarter of 1995 amounted to $25
million ($.27 per share) compared with net income of $84 million
($.90 per share) for the first quarter of 1994. Net income for
the first quarter of 1995 includes income of $44 million ($.47 per
share) from the refund of windfall profits taxes applicable to the
years 1981 through 1986 and related interest.
Following is a summary of net income by major operating
activity (in millions):
Three months
ended March 31
-------------------
1995 1994

Exploration and production $ 91 $ 44
Refining and marketing (15) 76
Corporate administration,
including interest expense,
and other operating activities (51) (36)
------ ------
Total $ 25 $ 84
====== ======
Excluding the tax refund referred to above, earnings from
exploration and production activities increased by $3 million in
the first quarter of 1995 compared with the corresponding period
of 1994. The Corporation's average selling prices, including the
effects of hedging, were as follows:

Crude oil and natural gas liquids
(barrels per day)

Foreign 519,141 515,067
------- ---------
Total 924,492 1,007,100
======= =========
The benefit of higher worldwide crude oil selling prices in
the first quarter of 1995 was partially offset by lower natural
gas selling prices in the United States and Canada. Domestic
production of crude oil and natural gas was lower, principally
because of natural field decline. In the first quarter of 1995,
depreciation, depletion and amortization charges were lower for
United States exploration and production, reflecting lower
production volumes and positive oil and gas reserve revisions at
year-end. Exploration expenses were lower in the United States,
but the reduction was more than offset by increased foreign
exploration activity. The Corporation's exploration and
production earnings will continue to be affected by volatility in
the selling prices of crude oil and natural gas.
Refining and marketing operations had a loss of $15 million
in the first quarter of 1995 compared with income of $76 million
in the first quarter of 1994. The decrease was due to lower
refined product margins, as average selling prices in the first
quarter of 1995 approximated the 1994 level, but the cost of crude
oil increased. The margins on gasolines improved slightly in the
first quarter of 1995; however, this improvement was more than
offset by lower margins on distillates and residual fuel oils.
Results in the first quarter of 1994 benefited from a colder
winter than was experienced in 1995. Income taxes were not
provided on a substantial portion of the first quarter 1994
refining and marketing income because of the utilization of a net
operating loss carryforward of a refining subsidiary. Total
refined product sales volumes amounted to 49 million barrels in
the first quarter of 1995, approximately the same as in 1994.
Refining and marketing earnings will continue to be affected
by competitive industry conditions and supply and demand factors,
including the effects of weather.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONT'D.)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Corporate administration, including interest expense, and
other operating activities (principally transportation), had net
expenses of $51 million in the first quarter of 1995 compared with
$36 million in the first quarter of 1994. The increase in 1995
was due in part to increased interest expense, reflecting higher
interest rates, although debt has been reduced. The first quarter
of 1994 included the reversal into income of costs accrued for
future maintenance on a ship that was sold early in 1994.
Sales and other operating revenues in the first quarter of
1995 amounted to $1,892 million, an increase of $35 million from
the corresponding period of 1994. The increase was primarily due
to higher crude oil selling prices. Non-operating revenues
increased in the first quarter of 1995 largely reflecting the
refund of windfall profits taxes and related interest of $67
million (before income tax effect).
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities, including changes
in operating assets and liabilities, amounted to $393 million in
the first quarter of 1995 compared with $479 million in the first
quarter of 1994. The decrease was primarily due to lower
operating results. Cash provided by operating activities exceeded
capital expenditures of $157 million and $131 million in the first
quarter of 1995 and 1994, respectively. The excess cash flow in
the first quarter of each year was used principally to repay debt.
Total debt was $3,145 million at March 31, 1995 compared
with $3,340 million at December 31, 1994. The debt to total
capitalization ratio decreased to 50% at March 31, 1995 from 52%
at year-end 1994. The Corporation anticipates that debt will be
reduced further in 1995, but the reduction in the first quarter,
which included the tax refund referred to above, may not be
indicative of the change to be expected for the full year.
At March 31, 1995, the Corporation had additional borrowing
capacity available under existing revolving credit agreements of
$697 million and additional unused lines of credit under
uncommitted arrangements with banks of $716 million.
In the first quarter of 1995, the Corporation exchanged its
48% common stock interest in Pict Petroleum plc for an interest in
Premier Consolidated Oilfields plc ("Premier"), another United
Kingdom independent oil and gas company. The Corporation also
purchased additional shares in Premier for $31 million, bringing
its total equity interest to 25%.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONT'D.)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)
The Corporation uses futures, forward, option and swap
contracts, generally with maturities of one year or less, to
reduce the effects of fluctuations in the prices of crude oil,
natural gas and refined products. These instruments are used to
set the selling and purchase prices of crude oil, natural gas and
refined products and the related gains or losses are an integral
part of the Corporation's selling prices and costs. At March 31,
1995, the Corporation had open hedge positions on approximately
35% of its estimated worldwide crude oil production over the next
twelve months and option contracts, providing varying degrees of
protection against declines in market prices, covering an
additional 5% of crude oil production. The Corporation also had
open contracts equal to approximately 50% of its estimated United
States and Canadian natural gas production over the next twelve
months and option contracts providing varying degrees of price
protection, covering approximately 15% of its natural gas
production. The Corporation had hedges covering approximately 40%
of its refining and marketing inventories and had additional short
positions, principally crack spreads, approximating 10% of refined
products to be manufactured in the next twelve months. As market
conditions change, the Corporation will adjust its hedging
positions.
Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 1995 amounted
to $157 million compared with $131 million in the corresponding
period of 1994. Capital expenditures for exploration and
production activities were $143 million in the first quarter of
1995 compared with $114 million in the first three months of 1994.
Capital expenditures for the remainder of 1995 are currently
expected to be approximately $550 million. It is anticipated that
these expenditures will be financed by internally generated funds.
