                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS




To the Board of Directors
Of Future Petroleum Corporation

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and direct operating 
expenses of Chevron U.S.A. Inc.'s working interest in the Cross Creek Field (the
"Properties") acquired from Bargo Energy Resources, Ltd. by Future Petroleum 
Corporation (the "Company") for the year ended December 31, 1997 and for the 
nine months ended September 30, 1998.  This statement is the responsibility of 
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this 
statement 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 statement of revenues and direct operating expenses 
is free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the statement of revenues and
direct operating expenses.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting 
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as 
evaluating the overall presentation of the statement of revenues 
and direct operating expenses.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable 
basis for our opinion.

The accompanying statement of revenues and direct operating expenses was 
prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the 
Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in the Form 8-K/A of Future 
Petroleum Corporation) as described in Note 1 and is not intended to be a 
complete presentation of the Properties' revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the statement of revenues and direct operating expenses referred
to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and direct 
operating expenses of the Properties described in Note 1 for the year ended 
December 31, 1997 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

              NOTES TO STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND DIRECT OPERATING 
                    EXPENSES OF THE PROPERTIES


1. Basis of Presentation 

On October 15, 1998 Future Petroleum Inc., (the "Company") acquired a 100% 
working interest in the Cross Creek Field located in Harris and Montgomery 
Counties, Texas. Bargo Energy Resources, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership and a
principal shareholder of the Company, ("Bargo") agreed on August 3, 1998 to 
acquire Chevron U.S.A. Inc.'s working interest in the Cross Creek Field (the 
"Properties") for approximately $6.1 million.  This acquisition was completed on
October 15, 1998, effective October 1, 1998.  On the same date, the Company 
acquired the Properties from Bargo, effective October 1, 1998.

The accompanying statement of revenues and direct operating expenses (the 
"Statement") relates only to the working interest in the producing oil and gas 
properties acquired and may not be representative of future operations. The 
Statement includes revenues from oil and gas sales and direct operating expenses
for each of the periods presented. The Statement does not include federal and 
state income taxes, interest, depletion, depreciation and amortization or 
general and administrative expenses because such amounts would not 
be indicative of those expenses which would be incurred by the Company. 
Presentation of complete historical financial statements for the year ended 
December 31, 1997 and the nine months ended September 30, 1998 is not 
practicable because the Properties were not accounted for as separate entities; 
therefore, such statements are not available.

Revenues in the accompanying Statement are recognized on the entitlement method.

The accompanying Statement has been prepared on the accrual basis in accordance 
with generally accepted accounting principles. Preparation of the Statement in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to 
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Statement
and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.  Commitments and Contingencies

Given the nature of the Properties acquired, the Company is subject to loss 
contingencies, if any, pursuant to existing or expected environmental laws, 
regulations, and leases covering the acquired Properties.  There are no matters 
which, in the opinion of management, will have a material adverse effect on the 
revenues and direct operating expenses of the Properties.  Liability for events 
occurring prior to the effective date of the sale between Bargo and Chevron 
U.S.A. Inc. shall be retained by Chevron U.S.A. Inc., and Chevron U.S.A. Inc. 
has indemnified Bargo for any costs incurred by it in conjunction 
with said retained liability.

              NOTES TO STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND DIRECT OPERATING 
                    EXPENSES OF THE PROPERTIES


Prior to January 1, 1997, Chevron filed applications with the state of Texas to 
classify certain wells on the Properties as "High Cost Gas Wells", which would 
exempt such wells from severance taxes.  In 1997 and 1998, refunds of $586,357 
and $16,670, respectively, were received for prior severance taxes paid from the
date of application filing to approval date by the state of Texas.  Such refunds
were recorded as a reduction of direct operating expenses in the period they 
were received.  Of the $586,357 refunded in 1997, $393,968 related to 1995 and 
1996 production.  Of the $16,670 refunded in 1998, $11,492 related to production
for the year ended December 31, 1997.

3.     Related Party Transactions

The Properties were not operated as separate entities for the periods presented 
in the accompanying Statement, but were included in the operations of Chevron 
U.S.A. Inc. During the year ended December 31, 1997 and the nine months ended 
September 30, 1998, approximately 91% of revenues from production were 
transferred to Dynegy, an equity affiliate (the "Affiliate") of Chevron 
Corporation, the parent of Chevron U.S.A. Inc., at approximate market prices. 

4. Supplemental Information on Oil and Gas Reserves (UNAUDITED)

Proved oil and gas reserves consist of those estimated quantities of crude 
oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids that geological and engineering 
data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years 
from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. 
Proved developed oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be expected to be 
recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating 
methods.

The following estimates of proved reserves have been made by the independent 
petroleum engineering firm of T.J. Smith & Company, Inc.  The estimated net 
interest in proved reserves are based upon subjective engineering judgments 
and may be affected by the limitations inherent in such estimation.  The 
Company emphasizes that reserve estimates for proved undeveloped reserves and 
for proved developed non-producing reserves are more imprecise than reserve 
estimates for proved producing reserves.  A significant portion 
(approximately 20% of the equivalent barrels) of the following reserves are 
attributable to proved undeveloped reserves and approximately 22% of the 
equivalent barrels are attributable to proved developed non-producing 
reserves.  The process of estimating reserves is subject to continual 
revision as additional information becomes available as a result of drilling, 
testing, reservoir studies and production history.  There can be no assurance 
that such estimates will not be materially revised in subsequent periods.

Estimated future cash inflows are computed by applying period-end prices of 
oil and gas to period-end quantities of proved reserves.  Estimated future 
production costs are determined by estimating the expenditures to be incurred 
in producing the proved oil and gas reserves at the end of the period, based 
on period-end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic 
conditions.  Estimated future income tax expense is calculated by applying 
period-end statutory tax rates to estimated future pre-tax net cash flows 
related to proved oil and gas reserves, less the tax basis of the properties 
involved.

The assumptions used to compute the standardized measure are those prescribed 
by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and as such, do not necessarily 
reflect the Company's expectations of actual revenues to be derived from 
those reserves nor their present worth.  The limitations inherent in the 
reserve quantity estimation process are equally applicable to the 
standardized measure computations since these estimates are the basis for the 
valuation process.

Board of Directors
Future Petroleum Corporation
Dallas, Texas


We have audited the accompanying historical summaries of revenues and direct 
operating expenses of certain properties acquired in October 1998 (South Texas 
Properties), for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and the year ended 
December 31, 1997.  The historical summaries are the responsibility of the 
Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the 
historical summaries 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 summaries are free of material 
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the historical summaries.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall historical summary presentation.  
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying historical summaries were prepared for the purpose of complying
with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for 
inclusion in the Form 8-K/A of Future Petroleum Corporation) as described in 
Note 1 and are not intended to be a complete presentation of the properties' 
revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the historical summaries referred to above present fairly, in 
all material respects, the revenues and direct operating expenses of the 
properties acquired in October 1998, in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles.

NOTES TO HISTORICAL SUMMARIES OF REVENUES AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES 
                    OF THE SOUTH TEXAS PROPERTIES


1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The accompanying historical summaries of revenues and direct operating expenses 
relate to the operations of certain oil and gas properties acquired by Future 
Petroleum Corporation (the "Company") in October 1998 from Bargo Energy Company 
("Bargo") and TJG Investments, Inc. ("TJG").  The properties are primarily in 
South Texas with minor interests in New Mexico and Mississippi.  The properties 
are referred to collectively as the "South Texas Properties".

Revenues are recorded when the Properties' share of oil or natural gas and 
natural gas liquids are sold.  Direct operating expenses are recorded when the 
related liability is incurred.  Direct operating expenses include lease 
operating expenses, ad valorem taxes and production taxes.  Depreciation and 
amortization of oil and gas properties, general and administrative expenses and 
income taxes have been excluded from operating expenses in the accompanying 
historical summaries because the amounts would not be comparable to those 
resulting from proposed future operations.

The historical summaries presented herein were prepared for the purpose of 
complying with the financial statement requirements of a business acquisition to
be filed on Form 8-K/A as promulgated by Regulation S-B Item 3-10 of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

As discussed in Note 1, the South Texas Properties were acquired from Bargo and 
TJG.  Bargo is affiliated via common ownership with a significant stockholder of
the company and the stockholder of TJG is a director of the Company.

3. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS RESERVES (UNAUDITED)

Proved oil and gas reserves consist of those estimated quantities of crude oil, 
natural gas, and natural gas liquids that geological and engineering data 
demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from 
known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Proved 
developed oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be expected to be recovered
through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.

The following estimates of proved reserves have been made by T.J. Simth &
Company, Inc. an independent engineering firm.  The estimated net interest 
in proved reserves are based upon subjective engineering judgments and may 
be affected by the limitations inherent in such estimation.  The Company 
emphasizes that reserve estimates for proved undeveloped reserves and for proved
developed non-producing reserves are more imprecise than reserve estimates for 
proved producing reserves.  A significant portion (approximately 39% of the 
equivalent barrels) of the following reserves are attributable to proved 
undeveloped reserves and approximately 23% of the equivalent barrels are 
attributable to proved developed non-producing reserves. The process of 
estimating reserves is subject to continual revision as additional information 
becomes available as a result of drilling, testing, reservoir studies and 
production history.  There can be no assurance that such estimates will not be 
materially revised in subsequent periods.

</TABLE>

Estimated future cash inflows are computed by applying period-end prices of oil 
and gas to period-end quantities of proved reserves.  Estimated future 
production costs are determined by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in
producing the proved oil and gas reserves at the end of the period, based on 
period-end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions.  
Estimated future income tax expense is calculated by applying period-end 
statutory tax rates to estimated future pre-tax net cash flows related to proved
oil and gas reserves, less the tax basis of the properties involved.

The assumptions used to compute the standardized measure are those prescribed by
the Financial Accounting Standards Board and as such, do not necessarily reflect
the Company's expectations of actual revenues to be derived from those reserves 
nor their present worth.  The limitations inherent in the reserve quantity 
estimation process are equally applicable to the standardized measure 
computations since these estimates are the basis for the valuation process.

                    FUTURE PETROLEUM CORPORATION

             UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION


On October 14, 1998, Future Petroleum Corporation (the Company) acquired 
interests in certain oil and gas properties in Texas, New Mexico and Mississippi
in exchange for approximately $11,100,000 in cash, 280,000 shares of the 
Company's common stock, and promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount 
of $4,000,000 (prior to $589,000 of discount) payable to Bargo Energy Company 
and TJG Investments, Inc.  The cash portion of the purchase price was financed 
by increasing the borrowing base under the Company's credit agreement with Bank 
of America.  Approximately 86% of the purchase price related to the Cross Creek 
Properties and the South Texas Properties.  The separate statement of revenues 
and direct operating expenses for Cross Creek Properties as well as the 
historical summaries of revenues and operating expenses of the South Texas 
Properties are included herein.  The remaining 14% of the purchase price applied
to certain smaller properties that are not included in these pro forma financial
statements.  The properties which are not included in the pro forma financial 
statements were acquired for approximately $2,000,000 in cash and 280,000 shares
of common stock.  The following unaudited pro forma combined financial 
statements have been prepared to demonstrate the effect on the Company's 
financial position and results of operations as if the Cross Creek and South 
Texas Properties had been acquired on September 30, 1998 (with respect to the 
pro forma balance sheet) and at the beginning of the periods (with respect to 
the pro forma statements of operations).  The pro forma statements of operations
also include adjustments to reflect the operations of properties acquired by the
Company on August 15, 1998 and November 1, 1997 as if those properties had been 
acquired at the beginning of the respective periods.  The pro forma financial 
statements should be read in conjunction with the separate statement of revenues
and direct operating expenses for Cross Creek Properties as well as the 
historical summaries of revenues and direct operating expenses for the South 
Texas Properties included herein, with the Form 8-K/A filed for the August 15, 
1998 property acquisition, with the Form 8K/A filed for the November 1, 1997 
property acquisition, and with the financial statements of the Company as filed 
in their Forms 10-KSB and 10-QSB.  The pro forma financial statements should not
be construed as a reflection of the financial position or results of operations 
that actually would have occurred if the acquisitions would have occurred on the
above dates.

oil and gas properties for cash of approximately $9,100,000 and $4,000,000 of 
10% subordinated debt.  The subordinated debt includes an imputed interest rate

credit agreement.

(2)     Adjustment to reflect the oil and gas revenue, lease operating and 
general and administrative expenses for the period from January 1997 to October 
1997 for the partnerships acquired by the Company from Encap in November 1997.

Company to the Encap partnerships for the period from January 1997 to October 
1997.

(4)     Adjustment to reflect the oil and gas revenue and lease operating 
expenses for the interests in the South Coles Levee Unit acquired by the Company
in August 1998 as if it had been acquired at the beginning of the respective 
periods.

(5)     Adjustment to reflect additional depletion and depreciation expense as 
if all the properties referred to above had been acquired at the beginning of 
the respective periods.

(6)     Adjustment to reflect additional interest expense at 8.25% for the 
outside bank debt and 10% for the subordinated debt as if the properties had 
been acquired at the beginning of the respective periods.  Adjustment also

8.25% debt, which was done in connection with the August 15, 1998 acquisition.

(7)     Adjustment to reflect estimate of additional administrative costs
