               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS





To the Administrative Committee,
Pennzoil-Quaker State Company
Savings and Investment Plan for Hourly Employees:

We  have  audited the accompanying statements of net assets  available
for   benefits  of  the  Pennzoil-Quaker  State  Company  Savings  and
Investment  Plan  for Hourly Employees (the Plan) as of  December  31,
1999  and  1998, and the related statement of changes  in  net  assets
available  for benefits for the year ended December 31,  1999.   These
financial statements and the supplemental schedules referred to  below
are   the   responsibility  of  the  Administrative  Committee.    Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial  statements
and supplemental schedules based on our audits.

We   conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  auditing  standards
generally accepted in the United States.  Those standards 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.  An  audit  also
includes  assessing  the accounting principles  used  and  significant
estimates  made by the Administrative Committee, as well as evaluating
the  overall  financial statement presentation.  We believe  that  our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In  our  opinion, the financial statements referred to  above  present
fairly,  in  all  material  respects, the  net  assets  available  for
benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the changes
in  net assets available for benefits for the year ended December  31,
1999,  in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted  in
the United States.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic  financial  statements  taken  as  a  whole.   The  supplemental
schedules  of  assets held for investment purposes as of December  31,
1999,  included as Schedule I, and reportable transactions (series  of
investment  transactions)  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1999,
included  as  Schedule  II, are presented for purposes  of  additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements
but  are  supplementary  information required  by  the  Department  of
Labor's  Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under  the
Employee  Retirement  Income Security Act of 1974.   The  supplemental
schedules  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.

       PENNZOIL-QUAKER STATE COMPANY SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN

                         FOR HOURLY EMPLOYEES

                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           DECEMBER 31, 1999


1.   SPIN-OFF OF PENNZOIL-QUAKER STATE COMPANY FROM PENNZOIL COMPANY:

On  December 30, 1998, Pennzoil Company (Pennzoil) distributed to  its
shareholders  47.8 million shares of common stock of its wholly  owned
subsidiary  Pennzoil-Quaker State Company (the  Company  or  Pennzoil-
Quaker  State) representing all of the shares of the Company owned  by
Pennzoil.  As a result of the distribution, Pennzoil Company,  renamed
PennzEnergy  Company (PennzEnergy), and Pennzoil-Quaker State  are  no
longer affiliated entities.

As  part of the spin-off transaction, the Pennzoil Company Savings and
Investment Plan for Hourly Employees (the Plan) was renamed  Pennzoil-
Quaker  State Company Savings and Investment Plan for Hourly Employees
and  covers  only  the hourly employees of Pennzoil-Quaker  State  and
participating   subsidiaries  and  affiliated   companies,   effective
December  31, 1998.  Net assets related to PennzEnergy employees  were
transferred  to  the  Pennzoil  Company Savings  and  Investment  Plan
effective November 30, 1998.

In  connection with the spin-off, Pennzoil distributed  one  share  of
Pennzoil-Quaker State common stock for every share of Pennzoil  common
stock.   As  a  result, the Plan holds both PennzEnergy and  Pennzoil-
Quaker State common stock.  Effective with the distribution, the  Plan
only invests new monies in Pennzoil-Quaker State common stock.

On   August  17,  1999,  Devon  Energy  Corporation  (Devon)  acquired
PennzEnergy   in  a  merger  transaction.   PennzEnergy   shareholders
received  0.4475  shares of common stock in Devon for  each  share  of
PennzEnergy  owned.  In conjunction with the merger  transaction,  the
Plan  document  was amended by changing all references to  PennzEnergy
common stock therein to Devon common stock.

2.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN:

General

The   following  description  of  the  Plan  provides   only   general
information.   Participants should refer to the Plan agreement  for  a
more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

The  purpose of the Plan is to encourage hourly employees to save, and
invest  systematically,  a portion of their  current  compensation  in
order  that  they may have an additional source of income  upon  their
retirement  or disability, or for their family in the event  of  their
death.  Upon changing wage status to salaried, a participant's account
balance is transferred between the Plan and the Pennzoil-Quaker  State
Company Savings and Investment Plan.

Each  person employed by Pennzoil-Quaker State, who is a member  of  a
collective bargaining unit which has agreed to participate in the Plan
and  who  receives  remuneration  on  an  hourly  basis  on  or  after
January  1, 1989, is eligible to participate in the Plan on the  later
of  the  effective  date  or the entry date coinciding  with  or  next
following their completion of one year of service.


<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Plan Administration

The   Plan  is  administered  by  an  administrative  committee   (the
Administrative  Committee)  consisting  of  at  least  three   members
appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company.  The sole  trustee
of  the  Plan  is Mellon Bank, N.A.  All administrative  expenses  are
borne  by  the  Company  with the exception  of  fees  for  investment
management and loan processing fees for participant loans.

The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).

Contributions

In  order to participate in the Plan, an eligible employee must  elect
to  make  a contribution to the Plan in whole percentages of not  less
than  1  percent and not more than 12 percent of annual  compensation.
Employee  contributions may be made "after-tax" or,  under  a  Section
401(k)  option,  on a "before-tax" basis.  The sum  of  the  rates  of
pretax  and  after-tax  contributions are  subject  to  the  following
limitations:

Years of Participation (a)     Maximum Combined Contribution Rate

      Less than 5 years                        9%
      5 - 10 years                            10%
      More than 10 years                      12%

For  each  Plan year Pennzoil-Quaker State contributes  an  amount  on
behalf  of  participating employees equal to the following percentages
of the aggregate pretax and after-tax contribution rates shown above.

                                Applicable
                               Percentage -
       Years of              Employer Matching
   Participation (a)           Contribution

      Less than 5 years             50%
      5 - 10 years                  75%
      More than 10 years           100%

(a)  Includes years of participation in the Plan or the Pennzoil
  Company and participating companies Employees Stock Purchase Plans.

Investment Choices

Employer contributions are invested primarily in Pennzoil-Quaker State
common stock.  At the Company's discretion, employer contributions may
be made either in cash or in common stock.  Employee contributions are
invested  in either common stock or in the other investment  funds  as
designated  by  the  participant.  During 1999, Pennzoil-Quaker  State
contributed 54,582 shares of its common stock valued at the average of
the  high and low market prices on the date of the contribution.   All
employee  and employer contributions (other than stock) are  initially
invested in interest-bearing short-term, highly liquid investments.  A
separate account is maintained for each participant which reflects the
participant's contributions, employer contributions, withdrawals,  and
the participant's allocable share of the Plan's investment earnings.

Participants who have attained age 55 have the option to transfer  all
or  a  part  of their existing employer contributions to  be  invested
among  the  various investment options.  Subject to the  above,  Devon
common  stock held in the employer's contribution account may  not  be
transferred  to be invested in other options.  Employee  contributions
are  invested as designated by participating employees in four  mutual
funds,  a  common/collective trust fund and/or  Pennzoil-Quaker  State
common stock.

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
In  conjunction  with the spin-off and subsequent merger  transaction,
Devon  common stock, formerly PennzEnergy common stock,  is  a  frozen
investment.   Each member's account held in Devon common  stock   will
be  maintained in the trust fund as a separate frozen account and  any
cash  dividends or other income paid with respect to the Devon  common
stock will be reinvested in Pennzoil-Quaker State common stock.

Loans

A participant may apply to the Administrative Committee of the Plan to
borrow from his or her accounts, subject to certain limitations.  Such
loans  will be for a term not to exceed five years (up to 20 years  in
the  case of loans to purchase a primary residence). The minimum  loan
amount  is $1,000 and the maximum loan amount is the lesser of $50,000
or 50 percent of the participant's account balances. Interest rates on
loans are fixed at the Prime Rate plus one percent.

Repayment of loans are made each pay period by payroll deductions,  or
a loan may be prepaid in full by a lump sum payment.  Upon retirement,
death  or  termination of employment, participants have 60 days  after
the next payment due date to pay the loan in full.

Participant  loans are reported as an asset of the Plan and  principal
and interest payments received are transferred to the investment funds
based on the participant's current contribution elections.

Vesting and Disposition of Forfeitures

Participants  are  always  fully  vested  in  employee  contributions.
Participants  vest in employer contributions at a rate of  25  percent
per  year beginning at the end of two years of service, becoming fully
vested after five years of service.  Any nonvested portion of employer
contributions shall be forfeited upon termination.  Forfeitures  shall
be   allocated   as  follows:   first,  to  reinstate   any   employer
contribution  amounts  of  participants who  return  to  service  and,
second,  to  restore any amounts  previously  forfeited  as  unclaimed
benefits.   Any  remaining  amounts  are  applied to reduce succeeding
employer contributions.

Withdrawals

Withdrawals may be made from either an employee's previous  pretax  or
after-tax  contributions,  net of previous withdrawals,  upon  written
notice  to  the  Administrative  Committee  of  the  Plan.   After-tax
withdrawals  result in the participant's forfeiture of  the  right  to
participate in the Plan for 180 days.  Pretax withdrawals are  allowed
only when the participant's age is 59-1/2 or older, unless a financial
hardship exists.  Hardship withdrawals will cause the participants  to
be   suspended  from  making  further  contributions  for  365   days.
Withdrawals  may  be  made  from employer contributions  only  if  the
participant has been a member of the Plan for five full Plan years and
will  cause an employee to be suspended from participation in the Plan
for 180 days.

Distribution of Benefits

Benefits  that  are  vested  are  payable  to  participants  or  their
beneficiaries   at   retirement,  permanent   disability,   death   or
termination of service.


<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Termination or Amendment of the Plan

The  Plan  may  be  terminated, amended or modified by  the  Board  of
Directors  of  the  Company  at any time.  Upon  complete  or  partial
termination  of  the Plan, all amounts credited to the  accounts  with
respect  to  which  the Plan has been terminated  shall  become  fully
vested and nonforfeitable.

3.   SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Accounting

The  financial  statements of the Plan are presented  on  the  accrual
basis  of  accounting, except that amounts allocated  to  accounts  of
persons  who  have  withdrawn from participation in the  earnings  and
operations of the Plan are not recorded as a liability of the Plan but
are  classified as a component of net assets available  for  benefits.
There were no such amounts outstanding at December 31, 1999 and 1998.

Use of Estimates

The  preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles  generally  accepted  in the  United  States  requires  the
Administrative Committee to use estimates and assumptions that  affect
the accompanying financial statements and disclosures.  Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

Asset Valuation

The  Plan's  investments  are reflected in the accompanying  financial
statements  at year-end current values, which represent  fair  values.
For  common  stocks, fair value was determined by using the applicable
closing  price  of the common stock as listed on the  New  York  Stock
Exchange  on  the last trading day of the Plan year.  For  all  mutual
funds,  fair value was  determined based on the closing price of   the
mutual  fund  as listed on the applicable stock exchange on  the  last
trading   day   of  the  Plan  year.  The  Merrill  Lynch   Retirement
Preservation  Trust Fund is a common/collective trust  fund  investing
primarily  in guaranteed investment contracts (GICs), synthetic  GICs,
and  U.S.  Government securities.  The guaranteed investment contracts
are fully benefit responsive and are recorded at contract value, which
approximates fair value.  The effective yield was approximately  6.22%
per other plan for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Net appreciation or depreciation in fair value of investments consists
of  realized  gains  or losses on sale of investments  and  unrealized
appreciation or depreciation in fair value of investments.

6.   FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:

The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on June 14, 1995, in
which  the  Internal Revenue Service stated that  the  Plan,  as  then
designed,  was in compliance with the applicable requirements  of  the
Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (IRC).  The  Administrative
Committee  believes  that  the Plan is currently  designed  and  being
operated  in compliance with the applicable requirements of  the  IRC.
Therefore,  the Administrative Committee believes that  the  Plan  was
qualified and the related trust was tax-exempt as of December 31, 1999
and 1998.

7.  RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES:

The  Plan  provides  for  various  investments  in  common  stock,   a
common/collective  trust fund, mutual funds  and  cash  and  temporary
investments.   Investment  securities,  in  general,  are  exposed  to
various  risks,  such  as  interest rate, credit  and  overall  market
volatility  risk.   Due to the level of risk associated  with  certain
investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes  in  the
values of investment securities will occur in the near term.

8.  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by  Mellon
Bank, N. A.  Mellon Bank, N. A. is the trustee as defined by the  Plan
and,   therefore,  these  transactions  qualify  as  party-in-interest
transactions.   Fees  paid by the Plan for the  investment  management
services amounted to $1,878 for the year ended December 31, 1999.
