FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FOREST OIL CORPORATION REPORTS RECORD EARNINGS FOR THE
SECOND QUARTER 2000
DENVER, COLORADO - AUGUST 9, 2000 - Forest Oil Corporation (NYSE:FST)
reported today net earnings exclusive of currency translation of $11.4
million or $.21 per share for the second quarter of 2000 compared to a net
loss of $258,000 or $.01 per share in the corresponding 1999 period. This is
the second consecutive quarter of record earnings for the company. Including
a non-cash foreign currency translation loss of $4.1 million in 2000 and a
gain of $4.3 million in 1999, second quarter net earnings were $7.3 million
or $.14 per common share in 2000 compared to $4.0 million or $.09 per common
share in 1999.
For the first six months of 2000, Forest reported net earnings exclusive of
currency translation of $22.0 million or $.41 per share compared to a net
loss of $2.0 million or $.05 per share in the corresponding 1999 period. The
earnings for the first six months of 2000 exceed the Company's previous
annual earnings record. Including a non-cash foreign currency translation
loss of $4.8 million in 2000 and a gain of $6.5 million in 1999, the six
month net earnings were $17.2 million or $.32 per common share in 2000
compared to $4.5 million or $.10 per common share in 1999.
The increase in earnings was due primarily to higher product prices. The
Company's average sales prices, net of hedging, for natural gas and liquids
in the first six months of 2000 were up 34% and 66%, respectively, over the
previous year.
For the second quarter of 2000, the Company's net daily production averaged
226 MMCFE (million cubic feet equivalent of natural gas), up 3% from 220
MMCFE in the first quarter of 2000. Production in the second quarter of 2000,
while higher than that reported in the first quarter, was negatively impacted
by property sales (2.3 MMCF/D) and the government ordered shut-in at the
Surmont field in Canada (1.5 MMCF/D).

(1) Energy swaps were entered into to hedge the price of spot market
volumes against price fluctuations. Hedged natural gas volumes were
6,061 MMCF in the three months ended June 30, 2000. Hedged oil and
condensate volumes were 597,000 barrels in the three months ended June
30, 2000. The aggregate net loss under energy swap agreements was
$10,906,000 for the period and was accounted for as a decrease to oil
and gas sales.
<PAGE>

Lease operating expense decreased 5% to $.52 per MCFE in the second quarter
of 2000 from $.55 per MCFE in the corresponding 1999 period and decreased 4%
to $.50 per MCFE in the first six months of 2000 from $.52 in corresponding
period of 1999. The decreases in per unit rates are due primarily to fewer
workovers in the Gulf Coast Region, offset partially by higher production
taxes due to higher product prices. General and administrative expense
increased 29% to $.22 per MCFE in the second quarter of 2000 and increased
18% to $.20 per MCFE in the first six months of 2000, compared to the
corresponding 1999 periods. The increases are due primarily to the expense
being spread over a lower production base, as well as higher employee-related
costs and professional service costs.
Depletion expense was $1.10 and $1.08 per MCFE in the second quarter and six
months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, compared to $.94 per MCFE in the
corresponding periods in 1999. The increase in the per-unit rate is due
primarily to increased anticipated future development costs in the current
inflationary environment for oilfield services.
In April 2000, Forest purchased approximately $5.0 million principal amount
of 8 3/4% senior subordinated debentures at an average price of 92.6% of par
value, resulting in an extraordinary gain of $192,000.
Net debt has remained relatively constant in the first six months of 2000 as
capital spending has been financed with cash flow.
