               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS





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

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for
benefits  of the Pennzoil-Quaker State Company Savings and  Investment
Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 1999, 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
audit.

We conducted our audit 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  audit
provides 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 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  audit was 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  audit 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
                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  (Pennzoil-Quaker  State  or  the   Company)
representing  all  of  the shares of  Pennzoil-Quaker  State
owned  by  Pennzoil, renamed PennzEnergy Company, which  was
acquired  by Devon Energy Corporation (Devon) in a  separate
transaction on August 17, 1999.

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
Pennzoil-Quaker  State  and Devon common  stock.   Effective
with  the distribution, the Plan only invests new monies  in
Pennzoil-Quaker State Company common stock.

2.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN:

General

The  Pennzoil-Quaker  State Company Savings  and  Investment
Plan (the Plan) was established effective January 1, 1999 by
Pennzoil-Quaker State. During 1999, net assets available for
benefits of $121.4 million related to Pennzoil-Quaker  State
employees  were  transferred in-kind to the  Plan  from  the
PennzEnergy Savings and Investment Plan.  The purpose of the
Plan   is  to  encourage  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.

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

Salaried  employees  become eligible to participate  in  the
Plan on the effective date or entry date coinciding with  or
immediately  following  their  completion  of  one  year  of
service. When changing wage status, a participant's  account
balance  is  transferred between the Plan and the  Pennzoil-
Quaker  State Company Savings and Investment Plan for Hourly
Employees.  Such transfers are reflected at current value as
of  the  date  of  transfer  in the  accompanying  financial
statements.

Effective  August 1, 1999, the Plan was amended by  changing
all  references to PennzEnergy Company common stock  therein
to Devon common stock.

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

Plan Administration

The  Plan  is  administered  by an administrative  committee
(Administrative  Committee) consisting  of  at  least  three
members  appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company.
Merrill  Lynch Trust Company is sole trustee  of  the  Plan.
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
may  authorize, by payroll deduction, a contribution 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  Company  matches  an  employee's  contribution
dollar- for- dollar up to 6 percent of their base pay.

Upon   written   request  filed  with   the   Administrative
Committee,  a  participant  who  is  otherwise  eligible  to
participate  in the Plan but who has not yet  completed  the
participation  requirements, may  transfer  an  amount  from
another qualified investment plan (Rollover Amount) into the
Plan,  provided that such Rollover Amount is transferred  in
the form of cash.  The Rollover Amount must be deposited  in
the  investment funds and shall at all times be fully vested
and nonforfeitable and share in the income of the investment
funds.   However,  such Rollover Amount  may  not  share  in
employer matching contributions.

Investment Choices

Employer  contributions  are invested  solely  in  Pennzoil-
Quaker   State  common  stock.   At  the  Company's  option,
employer contributions may be made either in cash or  common
stock.   Employee  contributions may be invested  in  either
Pennzoil-Quaker State common stock or in any  of  the  other
investment  funds as designated by the participant.   During
1999, the Company contributed 446,420 shares of common stock
valued  at the average of the high and low market prices  on
the  date  of  the  contributions.   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  investment
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.

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.

A  separate account is maintained for each participant which
reflects   the   participant's   contributions,   employer's
contributions, withdrawals, and the participant's  allocable
share of the Plan's investment earnings.

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

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 from six
months to 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 vested 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  final
paycheck 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  or attainment of age 55.  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  of  an  employee's
previous  pretax or after-tax contributions, net of previous
withdrawals,  upon  written  notice  to  the  Administrative
Committee.  After-tax withdrawals cause the participants  to
forfeit  the right to participate in the Plan for 180  days,
while   pretax  withdrawals  are  allowed  only   when   the
participant  is  age  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 only  after
withdrawing all amounts from any prior plan accounts and any
Rollover Amounts, and will cause an employee to be suspended
from participation in the Plan for 180 days.

Distribution of Benefits

Benefits  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.  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.

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 values,  which  represent
fair values.  For common stock, fair value was determined by
using the closing price of the common stock as listed on the
New  York Stock Exchange on the last trading day of the Plan
year.   Fair value of the mutual funds 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 (CIG), synthetic  GIC's,
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 approximated 6.22% for December 31, 1999.

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

6.   FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:

During 1999, the Plan requested a determination letter  from
the  Internal  Revenue Service (IRS)  as  to  the  qualified
status  of  the Plan.  Although the Administrative Committee
has not received a response from the IRS, the Administrative
Committee  believes  that the Plan  was  qualified  and  the
related trust was tax-exempt as of December 31, 1999.

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 Merrill Lynch Trust Company.  Merrill Lynch Trust Company
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 $9,881 for the year ended December 31, 1999.

9.  RECONCILIATION TO FORM 5500:

Benefits  pending payment to participants that have provided
notice  of  withdrawal totaled $83,998 as  of  December  31,
1999.   The  following  is a reconciliation  of  net  assets
available for benefits per the financial statements  to  the
Form 5500:
