                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT





BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS
FOREST OIL CORPORATION:


We have audited the accompanying Historical Summary of Oil and Gas Revenue and
Direct Operating Expenses of certain oil and gas properties of Wagner & Brown,
Ltd. acquired by Forest Oil Corporation (the Historical Summary) for the year
ended December 31, 1992.  This Historical Summary is the responsibility of
Wagner & Brown, Ltd.'s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Historical Summary based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the Historical Summary is free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the Historical Summary.  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 Summary.  We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Historical Summary was prepared for the purpose of complying
with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for
inclusion in the Current Report on Form 8-K of Forest Oil Corporation) as
described in Note 1 and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the
acquired property interests' revenue and expenses.

In our opinion, the Historical Summary referred to above presents fairly, in all
material respects, the oil and gas revenue and direct operating expenses of the
acquired property interests, as described in Note 1 for the year ended December
31, 1992, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

              Notes to Historical Summaries of Oil and Gas Revenue
                          and Direct Operating Expenses


(1)  PURCHASE OF OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     On December 30, 1993, Forest Oil Corporation (Forest) acquired Wagner &
     Brown, Ltd.'s (W&B) interest in the Loma Vieja/Martinez field of Zapata
     County, Texas including interests in eight producing wells and certain
     undeveloped acreage (the W&B Properties).

     The accompanying Historical Summaries are intended to provide historical
     information on the revenue and direct operating expenses of the W&B
     Properties and may not be representative of future operations.  The
     Historical Summaries were prepared for the purpose of complying with the
     rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and are not
     intended to be a complete presentation of the W&B Properties' revenue and
     expenses.  A provision for depreciation, depletion, and amortization has
     not been included since Forest's basis in the properties differs from W&B's
     basis.  General and administrative expenses have not been included because
     it is impractical to allocate the historical expenses incurred by W&B to
     the individual properties, and such expenses may not be comparable to
     amounts expected to be incurred by Forest.  The Historical Summaries also
     do not include federal and state income taxes or interest expense, as it is
     impractical to allocate such amounts to the individual properties.

     The Historical Summary for the nine months ended September 30, 1993 is
     unaudited but reflects, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
     (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present
     fairly the revenue and direct operating expenses for the period.  The
     revenue and direct operating expenses for this interim period is not meant
     to be indicative of future annual revenue and direct operating expenses.

(2)  SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL DATA - OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES (UNAUDITED)

     The following unaudited information has been prepared in accordance with
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 69, "Disclosures about Oil
     and Gas Producing Activities" (SFAS No. 69).

     (a)  EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

     Direct operating expenses do not include exploration and development
     expenditures related to the W&B Properties.  Development and exploration
     costs of $7,694,701 and $162,295 were incurred in 1992.



                                                                     (Continued)

                          and Direct Operating Expenses


     (b)  ESTIMATED PROVED OIL AND GAS RESERVES

     Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil,
     natural gas, and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data
     demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years
     from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions,
     i.e., prices and costs as of the date the estimate is made.  Proved
     developed oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be expected to be
     recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating
     methods.

     Forest's estimate of proved developed future net recoverable oil and gas
     reserves of the W&B Properties and changes therein follows.  Such estimates
     are inherently imprecise and may be subject to substantial revisions.

     (c) STANDARDIZED MEASURE OF DISCOUNTED FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS

     The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows has been
     calculated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 69.

     Future oil and gas sales and production and development costs have been
     estimated using prices and costs in effect at the end of 1992.  Future
     income tax expense has not been considered as the properties are not a tax
     paying entity.  Future general and administrative and interest expenses
     have also not been considered.




                                                                     (Continued)

     Changes in the demand for oil and natural gas, inflation, and other factors
     make such estimates inherently imprecise and subject to substantial
     revision.  This table should not be construed to be an estimate of the
     current market value of the proved reserves.  The standardized measure of

                             FOREST OIL CORPORATION
                Condensed Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements


On July 31, 1992, Forest Oil Corporation (Forest) purchased Transco Exploration
and Production Company (TEPCO) for approximately $45,000,000 in an acquisition
accounted for as a purchase.  On September 30, 1992, Forest Canada I Development
Ltd., a wholly owned Canadian subsidiary of Forest, sold its Canadian assets and
related operations to CanEagle Resources Corporation (CanEagle) for cash and
securities totaling approximately $41,000,000.  On May 18, 1993, Forest acquired
six offshore properties in the Gulf of Mexico from Atlantic Richfield Company
(the ARCO Properties), effective March 1, 1993, for approximately $32,516,000
and additional consideration consisting of offshore production equipment and
facilities.  On December 30, 1993, Forest acquired an interest in the Loma
Vieja/Martinez Field (the Loma Vieja/Martinez Properties) in South Texas,
effective October 1, 1993, for approximately $59,347,000.

The following unaudited condensed pro forma combined balance sheet assumes that
the acquisition of the Loma Vieja/Martinez Properties occurred on September 30,
1993 and reflects the September 30, 1993 historical consolidated balance sheet
of Forest giving pro forma effect to the acquisition of the Loma Vieja/Martinez
Properties.  The unaudited condensed pro forma combined balance sheet should be
read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and related notes
of Forest.

The following unaudited condensed pro forma combined statement of operations for
the nine months ended September 30, 1993 assumes that the acquisition of the
ARCO Properties and Loma Vieja/Martinez Properties occurred as of January 1,
1993 and reflects the historical consolidated statement of operations of Forest
(which includes the results of operations of the ARCO Properties since their
acquisition in May 1993), as adjusted for the effects of the acquisition of the
ARCO Properties for the period from January 1, 1993 through April 30, 1993 and
for the effects of the acquisition of the Loma Vieja/Martinez Properties for the
period from January 1, 1993 through September 30, 1993.  The following unaudited
condensed pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December
31, 1992 assumes that the acquisition of TEPCO, the sale of the Canadian assets,
and the acquisitions of the ARCO and Loma Vieja/Martinez Properties occurred as
of January 1, 1992 and reflects the historical consolidated statement of
operations of Forest (which includes the results of operations of the TEPCO
assets since their acquisition on July 31, 1992) as adjusted for the effects of
the TEPCO acquisition for the period from January 1, 1992 through July 31, 1992,
for the effects of the sale of the Canadian assets and for the effects of the
acquisitions of the ARCO and Loma Vieja/Martinez Properties for the year ended
December 31, 1992.  The pro forma results of operations are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations that would actually have been attained

           Notes to Condensed Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements
                               September 30, 1993
                                   (Unaudited)


A.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     On July 31, 1992, Forest purchased Transco Exploration and Production
     Company (TEPCO) for approximately $45,000,000.  In conjunction with the
     acquisition, a volumetric production payment from certain of the TEPCO
     properties was sold for approximately $38,500,000 (net of fees).  In
     addition, Forest issued a $2,000,000 promissory note to Transco Energy
     Company as part of the purchase price.  Approximately $4,062,000 was paid
     in cash, including acquisition costs.  The amounts shown for the TEPCO
     acquisition in the condensed pro forma combined statement of operations for
     the year ended December 31, 1992 represent the historical results of TEPCO
     for the seven months ended July 31, 1992 and adjustments for the pro forma
     effects of the acquisition of TEPCO by Forest.

     On September 30, 1992, Forest Canada I Development Ltd. (FCID), a wholly
     owned subsidiary of Forest Oil Corporation, sold its Canadian assets and
     related operations to CanEagle Resources Corporation (CanEagle) for
     approximately $51,250,000 in Canadian funds ($41,000,000 U.S.).  CanEagle
     was formed for the purpose of acquiring the assets and related operations
     of FCID.  An independent third party financed the purchase by CanEagle.  In
     the transaction, FCID received cash of approximately $28,000,000 CDN
     ($22,400,000 U.S.) net of expenses, and provided financing to the third
     party in the aggregate principal amount of $22,000,000 CDN ($17,300,000
     U.S.).  The pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended
     December 31, 1992 includes the effects of the sale of the Canadian
     properties, representing the reversal of the historical results of
     operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1992, as adjusted for
     the pro forma effects of the sale.  No gain or loss was recognized on the
     sale of the Canadian assets.

     On May 18, 1993, Forest acquired six offshore blocks in the Gulf of Mexico
     from Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO), effective March 1, 1993, for
     approximately $32,516,000 and additional consideration consisting of
     offshore equipment and facilities.  The purchase was financed in part by
     the sale of a nonrecourse volumetric production payment for approximately
     $27,261,000, covering delivery of approximately 13 billion cubic feet of
     natural gas over a three-year period at an average price of $2.08 per
     thousand cubic feet.  The amounts shown for the ARCO acquisition in the
     condensed pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended
     December 31, 1992 and the nine months ended September 30, 1993 include the
     historical revenue and oil and gas production expenses of the ARCO
     Properties for the year ended December 31, 1992 and the four months ended
     April 30, 1993, respectively,  and adjustments for the pro forma effects of
     the acquisition of the ARCO Properties by Forest.

     On December 30, 1993, Forest acquired an interest in the Loma
     Vieja/Martinez Field in South Texas from Wagner & Brown, Ltd., effective
     October 1, 1993. The Company financed the $59,347,000 purchase price with
     $6,000,000 of cash from internal funds, $36,600,000 of proceeds of a
     nonrecourse secured loan from a private institutional lender and
     $16,747,000 of funds obtained under a secured master credit facility with a
     bank.  The nonrecourse loan, which bears annual interest at the rate of
     12.5%, was recorded at $32,301,000 to reflect the conveyance to the lender
     of a 20% interest in the net profits, as defined, of the Loma
     Vieja/Martinez Properties.  Payments of principal and interest under the
     nonrecourse secured loan are due monthly commencing March 15, 1994 and are
     equal to 90% of total net operating income from the secured properties,
     reduced by 80% of allowable capital expenditures, as defined.  Payments, if
     any, under the net profits conveyance will commence upon repayment of the
     principal amount of the nonrecourse secured loan and will cease when the
     lender has received an internal rate of return, as defined, of 18% (15.25%
     through December 30, 1996).  The loan discount of $4,299,000 will be
     amortized over the life of the loan using the effective interest method.

     ESTIMATED PROVED OIL AND GAS RESERVES - The Company's estimate of its pro
     forma proved and proved developed future net recoverable oil and gas
     reserves at December 31, 1992 follows.  Such estimates are inherently
     imprecise and may be subject to substantial revisions.

     Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil,
     natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data
     demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years
     from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions;
     i.e., prices and costs as of the date the estimate is made.  Prices include
     consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual
     arrangement, but not on escalations based on future conditions.  These
     quantities have been decreased for overproduced volumes recognized as
     revenue.  Proved developed oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be
     expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and
     operating methods.  Additional oil and gas expected to be obtained through
     the application of fluid injection or other improved mechanisms of primary
     recovery are included as "proved developed reserves" only after testing by
     a pilot project or after the operation of an installed program has
     confirmed through production response that increased recovery will be
     achieved.

     STANDARDIZED MEASURE OF DISCOUNTED FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS - The standardized
     measure of discounted net cash flows at December 31, 1992 is calculated in
     accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standard No. 69.

     Future oil and gas sales and production and development costs have been
     estimated using prices and costs in effect at the end of the years
     indicated, except in those instances where the sale of oil and natural gas
     is covered by contracts, energy swap agreements or volumetric production
     payments.  In the case of contracts, the applicable contract prices,
     including fixed and determinable escalations, were used for the duration of
     the contract.  Thereafter, the current spot price was used.  The contracts
     include natural gas sales contracts with a company which is involved in
     Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.  The ultimate outcome of such
     proceedings and the impact, if any, on future oil and gas sales cannot
     presently be determined.  Future oil and gas sales include the estimated
     effects of existing energy swap agreements and the volumeric production
     payments and have been reduced for overproduced volumes recognized as
     revenue.

     Future income tax expenses are estimated using the statutory tax rate of
     35%.  Estimates for future general and administrative and interest expenses
     have not been considered.
