                       This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (the "Schedule
             13D"), which was filed on May 26, 1995 by The Anschutz
             Corporation ("TAC"), Anschutz Company ("AC") and Philip F.
             Anschutz ("Anschutz"), and which relates to shares of Common
             Stock, par value $.10 per share ("Common Stock"), of Forest
             Oil Corporation (the "Company"), as amended by Amendment No.
             1, which was filed on July 28, 1995 (the "Amendment No. 1"),
             as further amended by Amendment No. 2, which was filed on
             February 7, 1996 (the "Amendment No. 2"), hereby further
             amends Items 3, 4 and 5 of the Schedule 13D.  Unless
             otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used but not
             defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in
             the Schedule 13D, as so amended.

                       This Amendment No. 3 reflects TAC's belief that the
             number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on June 30, 1996
             was 24,598,059 shares.

             ITEM 3.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

                       The information previously furnished in response to
             this item is amended to read as follows:

                       Funds used to exercise the JEDI/Purchase Option and
             Tranche B Warrant in full, at a purchase price of $11.6385
             per share or $26,186,625 in the aggregate, as described in
             the response to Item 4 of this Amendment No. 3, were provided
             by cash and short-term investments of TAC.

             ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

                       The information previously furnished in response to
             this item is amended to add the following:

                       On March 5, 1996, TAC transferred to an employee of
             TAC, as compensation, 4,000 shares of Common Stock.  The
             closing price of the Common Stock on March 5, 1996, as
             reported on NASDAQ/NMS, was $10.75 per share.

                       On May 9, 1996, the Company issued to Anschutz 834
             shares of Common Stock as a non-discretionary grant to a non-
             employee director pursuant to the Forest Oil Corporation
             Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated as of March 22,
             1996 and approved by the shareholders of the Company on May
             8, 1996.  The price at which the shares were issued was
             $12.00 per share.

                       On August 1, 1996, TAC exercised its rights under
             the JEDI/Purchaser Option to cause the issuance and delivery
             by the Company to TAC of 2,250,000 Tranche B Warrant Shares
             pursuant to the exercise in full of the Tranche B Warrant.

             ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

                       The information previously furnished in response to
             this item is amended to read as follows:

                       After giving effect to the transactions described
             in the response to Item 4 of this Amendment No. 3:

                            (i) TAC is the direct owner, and AC and
                  Anschutz are indirect beneficial owners, of (A)
                  6,006,000 shares of Common Stock, (B) 620,000 shares of
                  Second Series Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company
                  (referred to the response to Item 4 as the  Purchaser
                  Preferred Shares, which are convertible into the
                  1,240,000 shares of Common Stock referred to in the
                  response to Item 4 as the Purchaser Preferred Conversion
                  Shares) and (C) Tranche A Warrants to acquire 3,888,888
                  shares of Common Stock (which are referred to in the
                  response to Item 4 as Tranche A Warrant Shares); and

                            (ii) Anschutz is the direct owner of 834
                  shares of Common Stock,

             which 6,006,834 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate that
             are directly owned by TAC or Anschutz, as the case may be,
             are approximately 21.1% of the shares of Common Stock that
             were outstanding on June 30, 1996 after giving effect to the
             issuance of 2,250,000 shares of Common Stock upon the
             exercise of the JEDI/Purchaser Option and the Tranche B
             Warrant.

                       If effect were also given to the conversion of all
             620,000 Purchaser Preferred Shares and the exercise of the
             Tranche A Warrant with respect to 3,888,888 Tranche A Warrant
             Shares,
                            (i) TAC would be the direct owner, and AC and
                  Anschutz the indirect beneficial owners, of 11,134,888
                  shares of Common Stock and

                            (ii) Anschutz would be the direct owner of 834
                  shares of Common Stock,

             which 11,134,888 shares and 11,135,722 shares in the
             aggregate, respectively, are each approximately 34.8% of the
             shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding on June 30,
             1996 after giving effect to the issuance of 5,128,888
             additional shares of Common Stock upon such conversion of the
             Purchaser Preferred Shares and such exercise of the Tranche A
             Warrant.

                       TAC and its affiliates, including, without
             limitation, AC and Anschutz, are subject to certain
             restrictions on the voting, acquisition and disposition of
