                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Participants and Administrator
     of  the Triton Energy Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan

In  our  opinion,  the  accompanying  statements  of  net assets available for
benefits,  with  fund information, and the related statement of changes in net
assets  available  for benefits, with fund information, present fairly, in all
material  respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Triton Energy
Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes
in net assets available for  benefits for the year ended December 31, 1995, in
conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting principles.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the plan's management; our responsibility
is  to  express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We  conducted  our  audits  of  these  statements in accordance with generally
accepted  auditing  standards which require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of  material  misstatement.    An  audit  includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence  supporting  the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing  the  accounting  principles  used and significant estimates made by
management,  and  evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We
believe  that  our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

Our  audits  were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The additional information included in
schedules I and II is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not
a  required  part  of  the  basic  financial  statements  but  is  additional
information  required by ERISA.  The Fund Information in the statements of net
assets  available  for  benefits  and  the  statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather
than  to present the net assets available for plan benefits and changes in net
assets  available  for benefits of each fund.  Schedules I and II and the Fund
Information  have  been  subjected  to  the auditing procedures applied in the
audits  of  the  basic  financial  statements  and, in our opinion, are fairly
stated  in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

                             401(K) SAVINGS PLAN
                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following description of the Triton Energy Corporation 40l(k) Savings Plan
(the  "Plan") provides only general information.  Participants should refer to
the Plan documents for a more complete description of the Plan provisions.

     GENERAL

The  Plan,  as  amended  and restated January 1, 1994, is a restatement of the
Triton  Energy  Corporation  Employee  Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") which was
originally  effective as of May 31, 1976.  At December 31, 1993, the only fund
available  for  investment  was the Triton Stock Fund.  All assets of the ESOP
were transferred to the Plan at January 1, 1994 at current value.  The Plan is
a  defined  contribution  plan  covering  all  employees  of  Triton  Energy
Corporation (the "Company") and employees of affiliated companies adopting the
Plan.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

The  Plan  covers  all  employee  classifications  except leased and temporary
employees  and  members of a legally recognized collective bargaining unit who
are  not  expressly  granted  permission  to  participate.    Employees  are
automatically  enrolled  on  January  1st,  April 1st, July 1st or October 1st
which  coincides  with  or  next follows an employee's employment commencement
date.

The Plan is administered by an administrative committee appointed by the Board
of  Directors of the Company.  The Plan's investments are held by a trust fund
administered by SBS Trust Company.

2.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The  accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis
of  accounting.   The trustee holds and manages the funds and distributes cash
and stock to the Plan participants.

The  assets  of  the  Government  Money  Fund,  Long  Term  Bond  Fund,  Large
Capitalization  Value  Equity  Fund,  Large  Capitalization  Growth  Fund and
International  Equity  Fund  are  invested  in  separate  funds  managed  by
independent registered investment advisors.

     VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

Investments  are  valued at current value based on quoted market prices except
for  loans  which  are  valued  at  cost  which  approximates fair value.  Net
appreciation  or  depreciation  of investments as reported in the statement of
changes  in  net  assets  available for plan benefits is calculated based on a
revalued cost method basis as required under ERISA guidelines.

INTERFUND TRANSFERS

Participants  may  change  their percentage contributions and fund allocations
once per calendar quarter.

     FORFEITURES

A  participant forfeits any non-vested employer contributions upon termination
of  employment  for  reasons  other  than  retirement,  death  or disability.
Forfeitures  are  utilized  to reduce the Company's matching contributions and
were immaterial for 1995.

     PARTICIPANT LOANS

Loans  outstanding  aggregated  $298,468 and $219,779 at December 31, 1995 and
1994,  respectively,  and  bear  interest at prime (8.5% at December 31, 1995)
plus two percent.

A  participant  may  obtain  a loan from all of his/her accounts.  The maximum
amount  that  can  be  borrowed  is  equal  to 50% of the participant's vested
account  balance  up to a maximum of $50,000.  Participants may borrow general
purpose  loans with payment terms up to five years and primary residence loans
with  payment  terms up to 15 years.  Both the principal and interest portions
of the repayments are allocated by current election.

     EXPENSES

Costs  and expenses incurred in administering the Plan, excluding certain fees
and expenses of the trustee and investment manager, are borne by the Company.

<PAGE>
3.     PLAN PARTICIPATION AND WITHDRAWALS

There were approximately 142 participants contributing to the Plan at December
31,  1995 (145 at December 31, 1994).  A participating employee may invest his
contributions  in  multiples  of  five percent in one or more of the following
active  funds:    the  Government  Money  Fund,  Long  Term  Bond  Fund, Large
Capitalization  Value  Equity  Fund,  Large  Capitalization  Growth  Fund,
International  Equity  Fund  and  the  Triton  Stock  Fund.    The  numbers of
participants with balances in the various funds were as follows:

</TABLE>


A  participant may contribute up to 12% of his/her compensation subject to the
annual  deferral  limit.    The  Company  contributes  an  amount  equal  to a
participant's  contribution,  limited  to  a  maximum  of  six  percent of the
participant's base pay.

Participating employees receive a lump sum payment of all vested contributions
upon  retirement,  disability,  death  or  termination.    Also, participating
employees  may  make  a  hardship  withdrawal from their participant accounts,
rollover accounts and their vested employer contributed accounts.

4.     VESTED INTEREST IN PLAN EQUITY

Plan  participants  are  vested  at  all  times  in their employee contributed
accounts.  Vesting of employer contributions to a participant's account occurs
at  a  rate  of  20%  per  year, with full vesting achieved upon five years of
service.    In  the  event of retirement, death or disability, the participant
immediately  becomes  fully  vested.    In  addition, in the event the Plan is
terminated  or  partially terminated, employer contributions are discontinued,
or  a  subsidiary of the Company terminates its participation in the Plan, the
affected participants' employer contributed accounts will become fully vested.

Net  assets available for Plan benefits at December 31, 1995 and 1994 included
vested  amounts  of  $255,039  and  $113,762,  respectively,  attributable  to
separated employees.

<PAGE>
5.     PLAN TERMINATION

Although  it  has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under  the  Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate
the  Plan  subject  to  the  provisions  of  ERISA.    In  the  event  of Plan
termination, participants become fully vested in their accounts.

6.     INCOME TAX STATUS

Management  believes  that  the  Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the
Internal  Revenue  Code  and therefore, the Plan is exempt from taxation under
Section  501.    The  Internal  Revenue  Service granted a favorable letter of
determination  to  the  Plan  as  amended  on  December  5,  1994.  Generally,
contributions  to  a  qualified  plan are deductible by the company when made,
earnings  of  the trust are tax exempt and participants are not taxed on their
benefits until withdrawn from the Plan.

Management  is unaware of any variations in the operation of the Plan from the
terms  of  the  Plan  documents  as  amended.   The Plan has complied with the
fidelity bonding requirement of ERISA.

7.     SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On  March  25,  1996, the stockholders of the Company approved the merger of a
wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  Triton Energy Limited ("TEL"), a Cayman Islands
company  incorporated  in  August  1995,    with  and  into  the  Company (the
"Reorganization").    Pursuant  to  the  Reorganization, TEL became the parent
holding  company  of  the  Company  and  each share of Common Stock, par value
$1.00,  and 5% Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company outstanding on March
25,  1996,  was  converted into one Ordinary Share, par value $.01, and one 5%
Convertible  Preference  Share,  respectively,  of  TEL.    As a result of the
reorganization,  the  Triton Stock Fund will hold shares of TEL instead of the
Company.

As  of  June  19,  1996,  the TEL Ordinary Share price had decreased to $46.75
causing a $1.5 million decrease in the value of the Triton Energy Stock Fund.
