ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         Saba Petroleum Company (the "Registrant"), through the Registrant's
wholly owned subsidiary, Sabacol, Inc. ("Sabacol"), acquired from a subsidiary
of Texaco Inc. ("Seller") a 25% interest in the Teca and Nare oil producing
fields located in Colombia, S.A.  These fields currently produce approximately
12,000 gross barrels of oil per day ("BOPD") from approximately 300 wells in
which 50% of the production will be shared equally between Sabacol and its
venture partner, Omimex de Colombia, Ltd. ("Omimex").  The remaining 50%
interest is owned by Ecopetrol, the Colombia government owned oil company.  The
fields will continue to be operated by the Texaco subsidiary until early
October when Omimex will assume the operations.  In addition to the producing
fields, the acquired property interests include exploratory and developmental
prospects.  Sabacol and Omimex have also jointly acquired a 100% interest in
the 189 kilometer elasquez-Galan ipeline with current throughput of about
27,000 BOPD delivered to Ecopetrol's refinery at Barrancabermejo.  The Seller
is not affiliated with the Registrant or Sabacol.  The acquisition will
increase the Registrant's oil and gas production by approximately 2,400 BOPD,
representing an addition of approximately 87% to the current oil  production of
the Registrant on an annualized basis.  It is also anticipated that the
acquisition will add approximately 4,600,000 barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE")
to the Registrant's proved reserves which, as of December 31, 1994 were
8,768,000 BOE.

         The transaction closed on September 14, 1995 at the Seller's offices
in Bogota, Colombia.  The acquisition cost of $9,223,700, including a
previously released deposit of $1,400,000 and assumption of an oil imbalance
obligation of $932,700, was funded by proceeds from a term loan in the amount
of $4,700,000 from Bank One, Texas, N.A., Houston, Texas, with additional
financing provided by the Registrant's parent company, Capco Resources Ltd.,
through an unsecured loan of $2,191,000. The purchase price was established by
arm's length negotiations between the Seller and the Registrant, and was based
upon the Registrant's analysis of existing operating and reserve information.
The Registrant does not plan to make any material changes in the operations of
the acquired properties, but will implement certain production enhancement
activities.

         As part of this transaction, but scheduled to close in the fourth
quarter of 1995, the Registrant will acquire one-half of the Texaco
subsidiary's 100% interest in an adjacent oil field, known as the Cocorna
Field.  The approximate purchase price of the Cocorna Field is $750,000 of
which $100,000 has already been released to the Texaco subsidiary.  The Cocorna
Field has proved reserves of approximately 132,000 barrels of oil.

                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors
Saba Petroleum Company

We have audited the accompanying historical summaries of gross revenues and
direct operating expenses of The Texaco Properties (to be acquired by Sabacol,
Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saba Petroleum Company, from Texas Petroleum
Company) for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1994. 
These historical summaries are the responsibility of the management of Texas
Petroleum Company.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
historical summaries based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards in the United States.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the historical
summaries are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the historical
summaries.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the historical summaries.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying historical summaries were prepared for the purposes of
complying with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (for inclusion in Saba Petroleum Company's registration statement on
Form SB-2) and are not intended to be a complete presentation of the revenues
and expenses of The Texaco Properties.  They exclude certain material expenses,
described in Note 1, that were incurred in connection with the operations of
the properties.

In our opinion, the historical summaries referred to in the first paragraph
(prepared on the basis described in Note 1) present fairly, in all material
respects, the gross revenues and direct operating expenses of The Texaco
Properties for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1994 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

         (TO BE ACQUIRED BY SABACOL, INC., A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY
                          OF SABA PETROLEUM COMPANY)

               NOTES TO HISTORICAL SUMMARIES OF GROSS REVENUES
                        AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    Sabacol, Inc. has entered into an agreement with Texas Petroleum Company,
    a subsidiary of Texaco Inc. ("Texaco"), to acquire a 25% interest in the
    Teca and Nare oil fields and a 50% interest in the Cocorna oil field and
    the Velasquez-Galan pipeline.  All of these properties are located in
    Colombia, South America and are collectively referred to as "The Texaco
    Properties."  The pipeline transports crude oil from these fields to a
    refinery at Barrancabermeja, Colombia, owned by Empresa Colombiana de
    Petroleos ("Ecopetrol"), which is owned by the Colombian government.  Prior
    to the acquisitions, The Texaco Properties have been included in the
    consolidated financial statements of Texaco Inc. and were not accounted for
    as a separate entity.  The Cocorna Concession expires in 1997 and the Teca
    and Nare Association contracts expire in the year 2008, at which time they
    revert to Ecopetrol.

    The accompanying historical summaries include only the gross revenues and
    direct operating expenses attributable to the production, sale and
    transportation of hydrocarbons from the acquired interests in The Texaco
    Properties.  The historical summaries do not include certain material
    expenses that were incurred in connection with the operations of the
    properties and that were recorded in the Texaco financial statements. 
    Those expenses were not included because the information was not obtainable
    as Texaco did not allocate such expenses to individual properties.  Items
    excluded are depreciation, depletion and amortization, provisions for
    dismantlement, abandonment and restoration of wells, interest expense which
    may have been incurred for any debt directly or indirectly associated with
    The Texaco Properties, provision for pensions, allocated income taxes,
    exploration and technical support, engineering, land, materials support,
    accounting, legal, marketing and other general and administrative costs.

    The 1994 historical summary of gross revenues and direct operating expenses
    does not include 186,092 barrels of crude oil valued at US $1,994,868
    invoiced by Texas Petroleum Company during 1994, but related to an
    imbalance obligation to Ecopetrol (see Note 4).

    Revenue Recognition

    Sales of oil are recorded when oil is delivered to the refinery and invoiced
    to Ecopetrol.  Pipeline revenues are recognized when oil is received at the
    pump station.  Of the sales 75% are invoiced in US dollars and the
    remaining 25% in Colombian pesos, which is determined based on the market
    representative exchange rate in effect at the date of each delivery.

                  AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES (CONTINUED)


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)

    Foreign Currency Translation

    Expenses originated in Colombian pesos are translated into US dollars at the
    average market representative exchange rate of Col. Ps. 788.87 per US $1 for
    1993 and Col. Ps. 827.24 per US $1 for 1994.  Unaudited: The exchange rate
    for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was Col. Ps. 864.40 per US $1.

    Interim Financial Information (Unaudited)

    The historical summary of gross revenues and direct operating expenses 
    for the six months ended June 30, 1995 is unaudited but includes all
    adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals only) which management
    considers necessary to present fairly the gross revenues and direct
    operating expenses of The Texaco Properties for the six months ended June
    30, 1995.

2.  SALES PRICE CALCULATION

    Sale of Oil

    The price of crude oil is determined based on Platt's Oilgram Price Report,
    considering the price basket of fuels - Fuel Oil Gulf Coast 3% and
    Ecopetrol Fuel Oil for Exportation - (Basket A) and the price basket for
    international crude oil - Maya, Mandji and Isthmus crudes - (Basket B).

    For the Teca and Nare Association contracts the price is calculated by
    taking the prior monthly average of Basket A and B prices, after adjusting
    the Basket B price for API grades and sulfur content.  The resulting price
    is reduced by US $1.45 per barrel.  This procedure has been agreed to up to
    December 31, 1995.

    For the Cocorna Concession contract the price is the weighted average of
    the prices obtained from the following procedures:

    o  A fixed price for the basic production, as agreed to between the
       Ministry of Mines and Energy, Ecopetrol and Texas Petroleum Company.

               NOTES TO HISTORICAL SUMMARIES OF GROSS REVENUES
                  AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES (CONTINUED)


2.  SALES PRICE CALCULATION (Continued)

    o  For incremental production (barrels produced in excess of the basic
       production agreed to), the average price from the following: a) The
       prior quarter average of Baskets A and B prices, after adjusting the
       Basket B price for API grades and sulfur content, and b) the average
       adjusted international price of the crude oil from the Velasquez and
       Tisquirama (Distrito Magdalena) fields.

    The above mentioned adjustment reduces the price of Cocorna Concession 
    crude oil to approximately 50% of market price.

    Crude Oil Transportation

    For crude oil transportation of others, the price set forth by the
    Colombian Ministry of Mines and Energy was US $0.77 per barrel.  By
    agreement with Ecopetrol dated August 14, 1993, the transportation fee was
    negotiated at US $0.50 per barrel (for Ecopetrol's oil from the Teca, Nare
    and Cocorna fields).

    Beginning February 10, 1995, the price for the transportation of crude oil
    of others through pipelines was increased to US $0.82 per barrel.  The
    price for the transportation of Ecopetrol's crude oil has not changed.

3.  ROYALTIES

    Royalties on the sale of crude oil from the Teca and Nare fields are 20%
    of the production.  The Cocorna Concession is subject to a royalty interest
    of 7.59%.

4.  IMBALANCE OBLIGATION TO ECOPETROL

    During 1994, 253,650 barrels valued at US $2,814,572 were invoiced by
    Texas Petroleum Company in connection with an imbalance obligation to
    Ecopetrol.  As of December 31, 1994, 67,558 barrels valued at US 819,704
    had been returned.

    June 30, 1995 (Unaudited)

    During the six months ended June 30, 1995, 61,390 barrels valued at US
    $842,476 were returned by Texas Petroleum Company in connection with the
    imbalance obligation to Ecopetrol.  As of June 30, 1995, the imbalance
    obligation to Ecopetrol had been reduced to 124,702 barrels.

5.  TRANSPORTATION TAX

    In the third quarter of 1994, a new transportation tax of 6% of the value
    invoiced for barrels transported through the pipeline was enacted.  The
    amount of transportation tax incurred in 1994 was US $49,067.

6.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    War Tax

    As of July 1, 1995, the war tax applied to produced barrels was increased
    from Col. Ps. 500 (approximately US $0.60) to Col. Ps. 700 (approximately
    US $0.80).

    Environmental Compliance

    The Colombian Ministry of the Environment issued a resolution dated June 7,
    1995 that set forth a number of measures aimed at correcting certain
    deficiencies that the Ministry has allegedly found in environmental aspects
    of The Texaco Properties.  Among such measures, the Ministry ordered the
    temporary closing of one of five production modules and of any wells
    processed in that module until Texas Petroleum Company provided a document
    detailing the timetable to implement some of the measures described above.
    This closing of the module had no effect on total production as crude oil
    from wells formerly treated there was diverted to other facilities.  The
    document containing the requested timetable was presented to the ministry
    of the Environment on July 6, 1995.

    Texas Petroleum Company currently estimates that the cost of compliance with
    the resolution will not exceed US $250,000.  Texas Petroleum Company has
    formally appealed the resolution and is currently awaiting a response from
    the Ministry of the Environment.

         The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows
represents an estimate of future net revenues from the production of proved
reserves using estimated period-end sales prices and estimates of the
production costs, ad valorem and production taxes, and future development costs
necessary to produce such reserves.  Operating costs and ad valorem and
production taxes are estimated based on current costs.  Future development
costs are based on the best estimate of such costs assuming current economic
and operating conditions.  No deduction has been made for depletion,
depreciation or any indirect costs such as general corporate overhead or
interest expense.

         The information presented with respect to estimated future net cash
flows and the present value thereof is not intended to represent the fair value
of oil and gas reserves.  Actual future sales prices and production and
development costs may vary significantly from those used in the reserve study
and actual future production may not occur in the periods or amounts projected.
This information is presented to allow a reasonable comparison of reserve
values prepared using standardized measurement criteria and should be used only
for that purpose.

         The following table sets forth the changes in the standardized measure
of discounted future net cash flows for each of the two years in the period
ended December 31, 1994 (in thousands of dollars):

                   UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION


         The following unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet as of June
30, 1995 gives effect to the acquisition of the TNC Fields ("Acquisition"), as
if it had occurred on June 30, 1995.  The unaudited pro forma condensed
statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1994 and for the six
months ended June 30, 1995, give effect to the Acquisition as if it had
occurred on January 1, 1994.  The Acquisition has been accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting.  Such unaudited pro forma financial information
has been prepared based on estimates and assumptions deemed by the Company to
be appropriate and does not purport to be indicative of the financial position
or results of operations which would actually have been obtained if the
Acquisition had occurred as presented in such statements or which may be
obtained in the future.  In addition, future results may vary significantly
from the results reflected in such statements due to oil and gas production
declines, price changes, future supply and demand, future acquisitions and
other factors.

               Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements



1.  Basis of Presentation

         The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 1995
gives effect to the acquisition of the TNC Fields ("Acquisition"), as if it had
occurred on June 30, 1995.  The unaudited pro forma condensed statements of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1994 and for the six months ended
June 30, 1995, give effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on January
1, 1994.  The Acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting.  Such unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared
based on estimates and assumptions deemed by the Company to be appropriate and
does not purport to be indicative of the financial position or results of
operations which would actually have been obtained  if the Acquisition had
occurred as presented in such statements or which may be obtained in the
future.  In addition, future results may vary significantly from the results
reflected in such statements due to oil and gas production declines, price
changes, future supply and demand, future acquisitions and other factors.

2.  Adjustments

         The pro forma adjustments included in the pro forma condensed
financial statements are described as follows by the alphabetical notation:

         (a)  Reflects acquisition of the producing oil and gas properties and
         related oil field equipment, based on the following purchase price
         allocation: oil and gas properties, $7,725,000; oil transmission
         pipeline, $1,000,000; and other equipment, $500,000.

         The total acquisition cost of $9,225,000 was funded by a bank term
         loan in the amount of $4,700,000, a loan in the amount of $2,192,000
         from the Company's parent company, assumption of an oil imbalance
         obligation in the amount of $933,000, and credit from a previously
         released deposit in the amount of $1,400,000.

         (b)  Reflects an adjustment for the cash flow components of the
         Acquisition's operations, consisting principally of oil and gas sales,
         pipeline tariff revenues and operating expenses for the producing  oil
         and gas properties and the oil transmission pipeline.

         (c)  Reflects an increase in general and administrative expenses
         resulting from the maintenance of an office location in Bogota,
         Colombia and additional professional fees for accounting, auditing and
         engineering services.

         (d)  Reflects an increase in cost depletion based on depletable basis
         of the Acquisition and production of oil reserves during the
         respective periods as follows: 1994, 1,033,000 barrels; and six months
         ended June 30, 1995, 523,000 barrels.





                                       
<PAGE>   19
         (e)  Reflects an increase in depreciation expense based on the basis
         of other assets included in the Acquisition, which are depreciated
         over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 5 to 15 years.

         (f)  Reflects an increase in interest expense due to indebtedness
         incurred in connection with the Acquisition, including a bank term
         loan in the amount of $4,700,000 with an assumed interest rate of
         12.75%, and a loan from the Company's parent company in the amount of
         $2,192,000 with an assumed interest rate of 9.75%.

         (g)  Reflects an adjustment to the historical tax provision in an
         amount sufficient to provide for a pro forma tax provision equivalent
         to an effective tax rate (including Federal, state and foreign) of
         43%.

3.  Pro Forma Reserve Information

         The following table sets forth an analysis of the Company's pro forma
estimated quantities of proved reserves and proved developed reserves, which
are located in the United States, Colombia, S.A., and Canada in the year 1994.
Such pro forma information has been prepared assuming the Acquisition had
occurred on January 1, 1994.  Pro forma adjustments for reserve information
attributable to the Acquisition are based on an engineering report as of
January 1, 1995 which has been adjusted for production for the year 1994.

         The following table presents the pro forma standardized measure of
future net cash flows related to proved oil and gas reserves together with
changes therein.  The oil, condensate and gas price structure utilized to
project future net cash flows reflects current prices as of the date specified
and have been escalated only where known and determinable price changes are
provided by contracts and law.  Future production and development costs are
based on current costs with no escalations.  Estimated future cash flows have
been discounted to their present values based on a 10% annual discount rate.
Pro forma adjustments attributable to the Acquisition are based on an
engineering report as of January 1, 1995 which has been adjusted for production
for the year 1994.
