Item 3.        Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

     The information appearing in the fourth paragraph under
"Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration" of
the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to read as follows:

     "As is more fully described in Item 4, below, the Board of
Directors of Valero Energy Corporation ("VEC") approved a
proposal to merge Valero Natural Gas Partners, L.P. ("VNGP,
L.P.") with a wholly owned subsidiary partnership of VEC.  The
merger was approved and completed on May 31, 1994, and the Common
Units which were publicly held have been converted into a right
to receive cash in the amount of $12.10 per Common Unit."

Item 4.        Purpose of Transaction

     The information appearing under "Item 4.  Purpose of
Transaction" of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to read as
follows:

     "VNGP, L.P. is a limited partnership organized under the
Delaware Uniform Limited Partnership Act.  Pursuant to the terms
of the Second Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement (the
"Partnership Agreement") of VNGP, L.P., the limited partner
interest in VNGP, L.P. was represented, immediately prior to the
termination of the Preference Period described below, by
Preference Units, which were registered under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and listed
on the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"), and by Common
Units, all of which were held by subsidiaries of VEC and which
theretofore were not registered under the Exchange Act or listed
on the Exchange.  On May 31, 1992, VNGP, L.P. paid a distribution
on the Preference Units which, when aggregated with all prior
distributions in respect of the Preference Units, resulted in the
distribution of the Preferred Return (as defined in the
Partnership Agreement) to holders of the Preference Units.  The
Partnership Agreement provides that upon distribution of the
Preferred Return the Preference Period automatically terminates
and each Preference Unit is converted automatically into and
becomes one Common Unit.  Accordingly, upon the termination of
the Preference Period, the limited partner interest in VNGP, L.P.
was represented entirely by Common Units.  Effective June 1,
1992, the Common Units were for the first time registered under
Section 12 of the Exchange Act and listed on the Exchange. 
Pursuant to a letter dated June 5, 1992, from the Office of
Tender Offers, Division of Corporation Finance, the staff of the
Commission concurred that the ownership of the Common Units by
VEC and its subsidiaries could be reported on Schedule 13G rather
than Schedule 13D.  On June 22, 1992, VEC and certain of its
subsidiaries filed a Schedule 13G (the "Original Schedule")
reporting their ownership of Common Units.  The Original Schedule
was amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13G, filed with the
Commission on January 7, 1993 ("Amendment No. 1").  The Original
Schedule and Amendment No. 1 were filed pursuant to the June 5,
1992 letter.

     "On October 16, 1993, the Board of Directors of VEC
considered and approved a proposal pursuant to which VNGP, L.P.
would merge with a wholly owned subsidiary partnership of VEC
(the "Merger").  Accordingly, VEC and certain of its subsidiaries
filed the Schedule 13D dated October 16, 1993, in connection with
the proposal.  At a meeting of the Board of Directors of VNGC
held on October 17, 1993, such proposal was presented to the
Board of Directors of VNGC in its capacity as general partner of
VNGP, L.P.  The Board of Directors of VNGC appointed a special
committee consisting of three directors of VNGC who do not hold
any other position with VEC, VNGC or their respective
subsidiaries (the "Special Committee") to consider the proposal. 
VEC and the Special Committee reached an agreement concerning the
proposed Merger, resulting in the execution of an Agreement of
Merger dated December 20, 1993 among VNGP, L.P., VNGC, Valero
Merger Partnership, L.P. and VEC (the "Merger Agreement"). 
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Common Units held by
persons other than VEC and its subsidiaries (the "Public
Unitholders") were converted into the right to receive cash in
the amount of $12.10 per Common Unit from VNGC.  The merger
contemplated by the Merger Agreement was approved by the Public
Unitholders and completed on May 31, 1994.  The Common Units held
by subsidiaries of VEC have remained outstanding, the 1% general
partner interest of VNGC in VNGP, L.P has remained outstanding
and VNGP, L.P. is the surviving entity and is now a wholly owned
subsidiary of VEC.  Additionally, pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, immediately following the merger VNGP, L.P. issued
9,711,919 additional Common Units to VNGC in consideration of
VNGC's agreement to pay the cash amount payable to the Public
Unitholders.  The ownership of the Management Partnership and
Subsidiary Operating Partnerships has remained unchanged, but as
a result of the transaction, each is now an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of VEC.

     "In March 1994, VEC issued and sold an aggregate of
3,450,000 shares of its $3.125 Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Preferred Stock").  VEC utilized the net proceeds from the
issuance and sale of the Preferred Stock to fund the Merger.

     "As a result of the consummation of the Merger, VNGP, L.P.
has become a wholly owned subsidiary of VEC.  As the sole
stockholder of VNGC, VEC has the corporate power to elect all of
the directors of VNGC, which serves as General Partner of VNGP,
L.P.  The Board of Directors of VNGC currently includes three
members who are not otherwise affiliated with VEC principally
because of an Exchange requirement that entities whose securities
are traded on the Exchange have an independent audit committee. 
As a wholly owned subsidiary of VEC following the Merger, VNGP,
L.P. would no longer be subject to this requirement and VEC
intends to restructure the VNGC Board so as to include only
persons who are otherwise officers or employees of VEC or its
subsidiaries.

     "VEC has no specific plans to sell or transfer any material
part of the assets of VNGP, L.P., change the capitalization of
VNGP, L.P., or make any other material change in its structure or
its Partnership Agreement.  However, VEC has commenced an
evaluation of the organizational structure, distribution policy,
capitalization and assets, and of the Partnership Agreement, of
the Partnership and is likely to make changes commensurate with
its position as sole stockholder of VNGC and sole owner of VNGP,
L.P.  Following the Merger, VEC anticipates that its principal
business focus will be on maintaining the operations of its
refinery and on improving and expanding the operations of VNGP,
L.P. through capital additions and by taking advantage of
business opportunities that benefit the business operations of
VNGP, L.P.  The Merger is expected to facilitate financing
arrangements, including capital contributions and distributions,
between VEC and VNGP, L.P. because the interest of the Public
Unitholders will no longer require consideration.  VEC has
restructured the short-term credit lines of VNGP, L.P. by
consolidating its revolving credit facilities with the revolving
credit and letter of credit facilities of VNGP, L.P. into a
single unsecured revolving credit and letter of credit facility
at the VEC level.

     "The Merger will benefit VEC by eliminating the management
time and costs associated with external reporting and disclosure.

The Common Units have ceased to trade on the Exchange and VEC
expects that they will be delisted, and that the Common Units
will be eligible for termination of registration pursuant to
Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act.  VEC reserves the right,
commensurate with its position as sole beneficial holder of VNGP,
L.P., to modify, amend or terminate the plans and proposals
described above at any time or from time to time and to develop
additional plans or proposals with respect to VNGP, L.P. or the
Common Units."

Item 5.        Interest in Securities of the Issuer

     The information appearing under "Item 5.  Interest in
Securities of the Issuer" of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended
to read in its entirety as follows:

     "VEC owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of

VEC, VNGC Holding Company nor VNGC directly owns any Common
Units.  There is no agreement or understanding between VEC, VNGC
Holding Company, VNGC and such subsidiaries with respect to the
voting or disposition of the Common Units; however, because of
the above-described relationship between VEC, VNGC Holding
Company, VNGC and the various subsidiaries identified herein,
VEC, VNGC Holding Company and/or VNGC may be deemed for purposes
of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, to share voting and/or
investment power with respect to such Common Units.  The filing
of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed to affirm any sharing
of voting or investment power with respect to such Common Units. 
VNGC Holding Company was incorporated on May 12, 1994.  VNGC
Holding Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of VEC, and its
principal asset is the stock of VNGC.

     "As a result of the legal relationship among the reporting
persons described in this Item 6, VEC, VNGC Holding Company and
VNGC may be deemed to be beneficial owners of the number of
Common Units on the respective cover pages of this statement. 
The filing of this statement shall not be construed as an
admission that any of VEC, VNGC Holding Company or VNGC is, for
the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owner of such Common
Units."
