Note 1  -    The financial statements included in this report reflect all
             normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of
             management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's
             consolidated financial position at June 30, 1995 and December 31,
             1994, and the consolidated results of operations for the three and
             six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 and the
             consolidated cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30,
             1995 and 1994.  The unaudited results of operations for the
             interim periods reported are not necessarily indicative of results
             to be expected for the year.

             Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted
             from these interim financial statements.  Such statements,
             therefore, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
             financial statements and related notes included in the 1994 Annual
             Report to Stockholders, which have been incorporated by reference
             in the Corporation's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
             1994.

Note 5 -     The Corporation uses futures, forward, option and swap contracts
             to reduce the impact of fluctuations in the prices of crude oil,
             natural gas and refined products.  These contracts correlate to
             movements in the value of inventory and the prices of crude oil
             and natural gas, and as hedges, any resulting gains or losses are
             recorded as part of the hedged transaction.  Net unrealized gains
             on the Corporation's petroleum hedging activities were
             approximately $48,000 at June 30, 1995.

ITEM 2.      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
             FINANCIAL CONDITION.


             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                   The results of operations for the second quarter of 1995
             amounted to a net loss of $40 million ($.43 per share) compared
             with a net loss of $17 million ($.18 per share) in the second
             quarter of 1994.  In the first half of 1995, the Corporation had a
             net loss of $15 million ($.16 per share) compared with net income
             of $67 million ($.72 per share) in the first half of 1994.

                   The results for the first half of 1995 include income of $44
             million ($.47 per share) from the refund of windfall profits taxes
             applicable to the years 1981 through 1986 and related interest.

                   United States crude oil and natural gas production was lower
             in 1995, principally reflecting natural decline.  Foreign crude
             oil production was lower in the second quarter of 1995, because of
             scheduled maintenance in the United Kingdom North Sea.  The
             increase in foreign natural gas production in the second quarter
             of 1995 largely reflects increased deliverability in Canada.

                   Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was lower
             in the second quarter and first half of 1995 compared to the
             comparable periods of the prior year, reflecting lower United
             States production volumes and positive oil and gas reserve
             revisions.  Exploration expenses, including dry holes, were higher
             in the second quarter of 1995 due primarily to increased activity
             in the United Kingdom.  Exploration expenses for the first half of
             1995 increased over 1994 because of the increased activity in the
             United Kingdom and new exploration activity in Denmark, partially
             offset by reduced United States expenses.  The overall effective
             income tax rate on exploration and production earnings continued
             to be high, principally reflecting the effect of the Petroleum
             Revenue Tax in the United Kingdom and the Special Tax in Norway.
             Future exploration and production earnings will be affected by
             changes in crude oil and natural gas selling prices, differing
             income tax rates in the various countries in which the Company
             operates and other factors.

                   Refining and marketing operations had income of $3 million
             in the second quarter of 1995 compared with $8 million in the
             second quarter of 1994.    While average refined product selling
             prices increased in the second quarter of 1995 compared with the
             second quarter of 1994, the cost of crude oil and purchased
             refined products also increased.  In periods of price volatility,
             movements in the selling prices of refined products may not
             correspond with movements in the Company's cost of crude oil and
             other charge stocks.  These conditions, which existed in the
             second quarters of 1995 and 1994, contributed to the earnings
             decrease.

             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


                   In the first half of 1995, refining and marketing operations
             had a loss of $12 million compared with income of $84 million in
             the corresponding period of 1994.  Cold winter weather in the
             first half of 1994 resulted in more favorable margins on
             distillates and residual fuel oil than in 1995.  Income taxes were
             not provided in either period on the earnings of a refining
             subsidiary that has a net operating loss carryforward.  Refined
             product sales volumes amounted to 92 million barrels in the first
             half of 1995 compared with 87 million barrels in the corresponding
             period of 1994.  The increase was due to higher sales volumes of
             gasoline, reflecting increased production from the fluid catalytic
             cracking unit in the Virgin Islands.  Refining and marketing
             earnings will continue to be affected by competitive industry
             conditions which impact refined product margins.

                   Corporate administration, including interest expense, and
             other operating activities (principally transportation), had net
             expenses of $53 million and $104 million in the second quarter and
             first half of 1995, respectively, compared with $48 million and
             $84 million in the corresponding periods of 1994.  The increase in
             1995 is due in part to higher interest expense, reflecting higher
             interest rates, although debt has been reduced.  Corporate
             expenses in 1995 also reflect an increased effective income tax
             rate related to the impact of foreign source earnings on United
             States taxes.

                   Sales and other operating revenues in the second quarter and
             first half of 1995 increased by 19% and 10%, respectively,
             compared with the corresponding periods of 1994.  The increases
             are primarily due to higher sales volumes and selling prices of
             gasoline. Non-operating revenue in the first half of 1995 includes
             the refund of windfall profits taxes and related interest totaling
             $67 million (before income tax effect).  Selling, general and
             administrative expenses increased by approximately $10 million in
             the second quarter of 1995 compared with the second quarter of
             1994.  The increase was primarily in exploration and production
             units.

             LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


                   Net cash provided by operating activities, including changes
             in operating assets and liabilities, amounted to $716 million in
             the first half of 1995 compared with $651 million in the first
             half of 1994.  The increase was due to changes in working capital
             components, partially offset by lower operating results.  Cash
             provided by operating activities exceeded capital expenditures of
             $333 million and $259 million in the first half of 1995 and 1994,
             respectively.  The excess cash flow in each period was used
             principally to repay debt.

                   Total debt was $3,022 million at June 30, 1995 compared with
             $3,340 million at December 31, 1994.  The debt to total
             capitalization ratio decreased to 49.5% at June 30, 1995 from
             nearly 52% at year-end 1994.

             LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)


                   At June 30, 1995, the Corporation had additional borrowing
             capacity available under existing revolving credit agreements of
             $764 million and additional unused lines of credit under
             uncommitted arrangements with banks of $710 million.

                   The Corporation uses futures, forward, option and swap
             contracts to reduce the effects of fluctuations in the prices of
             crude oil, natural gas and refined products.  These instruments
             are used to set the selling and purchase prices of crude oil,
             natural gas and refined products and the related gains or losses
             are an integral part of the Corporation's selling prices and
             costs.  At June 30, 1995, the Corporation had open hedge positions
             on approximately 25% of its estimated worldwide crude oil
             production over the next eighteen months.  In certain
             circumstances, hedge counterparties may elect to purchase up to an
             additional 15% of this production.  In addition, the Corporation
             had open option contracts, providing varying degrees of protection
             against declines in market prices, covering 5% of crude oil
             production.  The Corporation also had open contracts equal to
             approximately 5% of its estimated United States and Canadian
             natural gas production over the next twelve months and option
             contracts providing varying degrees of price protection, covering
             approximately 10% of its natural gas production.  The Corporation
             had hedges covering approximately 35% of its refining and
             marketing inventories and had additional short positions,
             principally crack spreads, approximating 10% of refined products
             to be manufactured in the next twelve months.  As market
             conditions change, the Corporation will adjust its hedging
             positions.

                   Capital expenditures in the first half of 1995 amounted to
             $333 million compared with $259 million in the corresponding
             period of 1994.  Capital expenditures for exploration and
             production activities were $299 million in the first half of 1995
             compared with $229 million in the first six months of 1994.

                   Capital expenditures for the remainder of 1995 are currently
             expected to be approximately $370 million.  It is anticipated that
             these expenditures will be financed by internally generated funds.
