                            HELMERICH & PAYNE, INC.
               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1995



Results of Operations

         The Company reported net income of $11,093,000 ($0.45 per share) on
revenues of $94,585,000 for the first quarter of fiscal year 1996, compared
with net income of $4,416,000 ($0.18 per share) on revenues of $79,944,000
during the first quarter of fiscal 1995.

         The Contract Drilling Division reported an operating profit of
$10,224,000 for the first quarter of 1996, compared with $4,480,000 for the
same period in fiscal 1995.  Operating profit from international drilling
operations increased 148% to $8,309,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1996,
compared with $3,355,000 for the first quarter of 1995.  Additional rigs sent
to Colombia (3) and Venezuela (4) during 1995 was the primary reason for the
significant increase.  Utilization for all international rigs was 90% during
the first quarter, compared with 84% during the first quarter of fiscal 1995.
Utilization is expected to remain strong for the remainder of the year in
Venezuela and Colombia, but softer in other South American countries.

         Exploration and Production reported an operating profit of $4,075,000
for the first quarter of fiscal 1996, compared with an operating loss of
$538,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  The improvement in operating
profit from the prior year was primarily the result of higher natural gas
prices, increased production volumes and lower operating expenses. The average
natural gas price increased from $1.37 per mcf in the first quarter of fiscal
1995 to $1.49 per mcf in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  Production volumes
increased from 78.2 Mmcf/day during the first quarter of 1995 to 89.3 Mmcf/day
in the same period of 1996.  Reductions in depreciation and depletion, dry hole
costs, and geophysical expense totaled $2,756,000.  A significant increase in
the Company's exploration activity is expected to occur in the second and third
quarters, providing increased exposure to dry hole costs.

         Both the Chemical Division and the Real Estate Division had slightly
higher operating profits than a year ago on increased revenues.

         In August 1994, the Company entered into a joint venture with its
equity affiliate, Atwood Oceanics, Inc. to construct a new generation offshore
platform rig for work offshore Australia.  The rig has been completed and is
ready for shipment to Australia.  The rig was originally scheduled to commence
operating offshore Australia in early 1996, however, due to project delays in
Australia unrelated to the rig construction activities, the shipment of the rig
to Australia has been delayed until early 1997.  Under terms of the contract,
revenues from a holding rate will commence on January 1, 1996, and will be
reflected in the international contract drilling segment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Net cash provided by operating activities was $25,897,000 for the
first three months of fiscal 1996, compared with $20,634,000 for the same
period in 1995.  Capital expenditures for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 were
$35,929,000, compared with $27,404,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1995.

         It is anticipated for fiscal 1996 that capital expenditures will
exceed internally generated cash flows and that the Company will have to borrow
under its line of credit agreement or sell a portion of its investment
portfolio.  In the current quarter the Company increased the amount borrowed
under its line of credit agreement by $2,000,000.

         There were no other significant changes in the Company's financial
position since September 30, 1995.

                            HELMERICH & PAYNE, INC.


Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

             On November 15, 1995, a lawsuit captioned William G. Caldwell, et
al. vs. Helmerich & Payne, Inc. was filed in the District Court of Washita
County, Oklahoma, in which five (5) named plaintiffs, on behalf of themselves
and other unnamed plaintiffs, are demanding their royalty share of a gas
contract settlement.  The plaintiffs are attempting to certify a class which
would contain certain of the Company's lessors and certain other mineral owners
who own an interest in wells covered by such gas contract settlement.


Item 6(b) Reports on Form 8-K

             There were no reports on Form 8-K filed for the three months ended
December 31, 1995.
