                               KERR-McGEE CORPORATION

                                       PART I

Items 1. and 2.  Business and Properties

                           GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

      Kerr-McGee Corporation, an energy and chemical company, had
its beginning in 1929 with the formation of Anderson & Kerr
Drilling Company.  The company was incorporated in Delaware in
1932.  With oil and gas exploration and production as its base, the
company has expanded into petroleum refining and marketing,
chemical manufacturing, and coal and mineral mining.  Kerr-McGee
owns a large inventory of natural resources that includes oil, gas,
and coal reserves and chemical and mineral deposits.


                                  INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

      For information as to business segments of the company,
reference is made to Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements on pages 48 and 49 of the 1993 Annual Report to
Stockholders, which note is incorporated by reference in Item 8.


                             EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION

      The Exploration and Production Division manages Kerr-McGee's
oil and gas operations worldwide.  This division acquires leases
and concessions and explores for, develops, produces, and markets
crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids.

      The areas of Kerr-McGee's offshore oil and gas exploration and
production activities are the Gulf of Mexico, North Sea, Arabian
Gulf, South China Sea, Egypt, and Vietnam.  Onshore exploration and
production operations are in the United States, primarily in
Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas, and Wyoming, Canada, Papua New Guinea,
and Indonesia.

      For 1993, the Exploration and Production Division, including
Gas Processing, recorded revenues(1) and operating profit of $564
million and $82 million, respectively,  compared with $560 million



(1)Includes intercompany sales, primarily crude oil sales, of $195 million in
 1993 and $211 million in 1992.

____________
      Except as indicated under Items 1 through 3, 5 through 8, and
      10 through 14, no other information appearing in either the
      company's 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders or its 1994 Proxy
      Statement is deemed to be filed as part of this annual report
      on Form 10-K.

and $91 million, respectively, for 1992.  Net operating profit was
$52 million for 1993, compared with $53 million for 1992.  The
decline in 1993 operating profit resulted principally from lower
crude oil sales prices, higher exploration costs, and lower natural
gas deliveries, partially offset by higher natural gas sales prices
and crude oil sales volumes.

      Total expenditures for property acquisitions, exploration, and
development were $360 million for 1993, a 24% increase from $290
million the previous year.

      The company's average crude oil sales price was $15.64 per
barrel for 1993, down 14% from the prior year's price of $18.11. 
The 1993 average natural gas sales price was $1.92 per thousand
cubic feet, up 23% from the prior year's price of $1.56.

      Kerr-McGee's crude oil and condensate production averaged
53,200 barrels per day for 1993, compared with 50,500 barrels per
day for 1992.  Deliveries of natural gas averaged 286 million cubic
feet of gas per day for 1993, compared with 296 million cubic feet
per day for 1992.  Kerr-McGee's spot sales of natural gas in 1993
represented approximately 77% of the total natural gas sold,
approximately the same as last year.

      As of December 31, 1993, the company had interests in
undeveloped oil and gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico and 10 states

Sales of Production

      Most of the company's domestic crude oil production is
exchanged at market prices for crude oil used in the company's
refineries.  The company's North Sea crude oil is sold at spot
prices or utilized by the company's refining and marketing
operations.  The company's share of Canadian crude oil is sold in
Canada at market prices, while the other international crude oil is
sold to the company's refining and marketing operations.  Gas
production is sold under short-term contracts to utility and
industrial markets and under long-term contracts with interstate
and intrastate pipeline companies.

Average Sales Prices and Production Costs

      Reference is made to Note 24 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements on page 51 of the 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders,
which note is incorporated by reference in Item 8, for information
regarding average sales prices per unit of crude oil and natural
gas and production costs per barrel of oil equivalent for each of
the past three years.

Secondary Recovery

      The company continues to initiate and/or participate in
secondary-recovery projects where geological, engineering, and
economic conditions are favorable.  As of December 31, 1993, the
company was participating in 86 active secondary-recovery projects
worldwide.  These projects are located in all of the principal
areas of Kerr-McGee's oil and gas production activities.

      Most of the company's operations outside North America
incorporate water injection.  Pressure maintenance operations began
at the time of initial production from these fields.

Wells in Process of Drilling

      At December 31, 1993, the company had 40 gross or 17.04 net
wells classified as temporarily suspended or in the process of
drilling.  Of these totals, 34 gross or 15.78 net wells were
located in the United States, 2 gross or .83 net wells were in
Canada, and 4 gross or .43 net wells were in the North Sea.

<PAGE>

Reserves

      Kerr-McGee's estimated proved crude oil, condensate, and
natural gas reserves at December 31, 1993, and the changes in net
quantities of such reserves for the three years then ended are
shown in Note 27 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 
53 of the 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders, which note is 
incorporated by reference in Item 8.

      From time to time, reports are filed with the United States
Department of Energy relating to the company's reserves.  The
reserves reported in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
are consistent with other filings pertaining to proved net
reserves.  Minor differences in gas volumes occur due to different
pressure bases being required in the reports.  However, the
difference in estimates does not exceed 5% of the total estimated
reserves.

Exploration and Development Activities

      The company continues to emphasize drilling for natural gas
onshore North America and in the Gulf of Mexico to participate in
domestic market growth.  Kerr-McGee holds an oil and natural gas
prospect inventory of approximately 246,000 net undeveloped acres
in the gulf.

      The U.K. sector of the North Sea remains the most important
international area for Kerr-McGee, with emphasis on oil and large
natural gas reserves.  Existing infrastructure and a cooperative
regulatory climate enhance the potential value of approximately
243,000 net undeveloped acres.  Kerr-McGee has interests averaging
25% in 41 blocks and is the operator on 15 of these.  Participation
in at least 25 North Sea wells is planned over the next five years.

      In other international areas, where the potential for sizeable
discoveries is greater than in the more mature domestic oil and gas
areas, Kerr-McGee holds sizeable working interests in several
concessions.

      The following is a description of certain of the company's
exploration and development activities.

North Sea

      Fields in the United Kingdom sector of the North Sea accounted
for 31% of the company's total 1993 liquids production, or 16,700
barrels of crude oil and condensate per day.

      Gryphon field, Block 9/18b (25% interest) -- The field uses
the North Seas's first permanently moored floating production,
storage, and offloading vessel.  This facility was commissioned 10
months after approval of the project by the U.K. government.  First
oil flowed in October 1993.  Kerr-McGee is the operator.

      Scott field, Blocks 15/21a and 15/22 (5.4%) -- Production
began in September 1993 from this field, which is the largest field
developed in the North Sea during the last decade.  During early
1994, the U.K. government approved development of an extension,
South Scott, which will be tied to the existing facility.  South
Scott is expected to come on stream in mid-1995.

      East Brae (7.5%) -- This field, the largest of the four
producing fields in the Brae area, began production in December
1993.

Gulf of Mexico

      Offshore fields in the Gulf of Mexico were the source of 30%
of the company's oil production and nearly half of the natural gas
deliveries.  Kerr-McGee's daily production for 1993 averaged 16,000
barrels oil and 136 million cubic feet of gas.

      Ship Shoal Block 315 (75%) -- The field is scheduled to come
on stream in 1994, 22 months after discovery.  Crude oil and
natural gas production will be processed through a facility on the
adjoining Ship Shoal Block 300.

      Ewing Bank Block 989 (75%) --  This 1992 discovery will be
developed with two subsea wells tied to an existing platform. 
Production is expected to start in late 1994.

      Breton Sound area (50%) -- Three horizontal wells are
increasing production in this mature area.  The cost of two of the
wells was recovered in less than four months, compared with about
15 months for a vertical well in the same area.  The third
horizontal well came on stream in December 1993.  Additional
horizontal drilling is planned.

      Viosca Knoll field 989 (25%) -- Production is scheduled to
start in late 1994 from a platform in 1,300 feet of water.

U.S. Onshore

      The company's daily production from U.S. onshore fields
averaged 11,700 barrels of oil and 97 million cubic feet of gas in
1993.  During 1993, the company emphasized drilling for natural gas
while working to produce more oil from mature fields through
enhanced and secondary recovery methods.

      Texas Panhandle area (100%) -- A successful deep-gas well was
drilled and tied to an existing pipeline less than six weeks after
discovery.  Offset drilling is scheduled for 1994.  Several high-
potential prospects have been identified in the same trend.

      Sands Dunes Unit (26.7%) -- This miscible gas flood unit in
Wyoming's Powder River Basin has been on stream since 1991 and
averaged 12,100 barrels of oil per day in 1993.

      North Buck Draw (34.6%) -- Also in Wyoming, this miscible gas
flood unit started production in late 1988, has recovered 50% of
the oil in place and continued to produce more than 3,000 barrels
of oil per day in 1993.

<PAGE>


Canada

      During 1993, daily production of oil and gas from Canadian
fields totaled 4,700 barrels and 50 million cubic feet,
respectively.  The company's focus in Canada continues to be on
large natural gas reserves, and Kerr-McGee continues to pursue
prospects in west central Alberta and northeastern British
Columbia.

      Boundary Lake South (50%) -- Gas production will commence
during the summer of 1994, when plant and gathering lines are
complete.

Other International

      Liuhua 11-1 field (24.5%) -- The company will participate in
the development of this South China Sea field, which was discovered
in 1987.  Development drilling should begin in the second half of
1994.

      Papua New Guinea (33.3%) -- The 1.9 million-acre PPL 163
concession is located onshore near a significant recent oil
discovery.  An exploratory well was spudded in January 1994.

      South Con Son Basin (35%) -- Lifting of the U.S. trade embargo
on Vietnam opened access to a new area.  Kerr-McGee has acquired an
interest in this 1.1 million-acre offshore block.  Drilling is
scheduled to start in the first half of 1994.

      South Sumatra Basin (33.3%) -- Seismic work is under way on
this onshore concession, a 2 million-acre block in Indonesia. 
Spudding of the first well is planned for late 1994.

      Egypt (25%) -- A second exploratory well is planned for early
1994 on this 870,000 acre offshore concession.

Gas Processing

      Kerr-McGee's Gas Processing Division operates two gas
processing plants and one intrastate gas pipeline in the United
States and also has interests in 9 plants that are operated by
others.  These plants produce natural gas liquids, including
ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene, isobutane, normal butane, and
natural gasoline.  In 1993, Kerr-McGee's interest in the gas
processed at these plants averaged 67 million cubic feet per day.

      The company's total net production of natural gas liquids
during 1993 averaged 3,600 barrels per day, compared with 4,200
barrels per day in 1992.  The company's share of residue gas sold
during 1993 was 18 million cubic feet per day, compared with 23.1
million cubic feet per day in the prior year.

                               REFINING AND MARKETING

      Kerr-McGee Refining Corporation is engaged in the purchase,
gathering, transportation, and refining of crude oil and the
transportation, distribution, and wholesale and retail marketing of
petroleum products.  The company's gasolines, distillates,
lubricating oils, and allied products are marketed under the brand
names Kerr-McGee, Mystik, and various other trade names, according
to the territory where sold.

      In a highly competitive industry, Kerr-McGee Refining
Corporation considers its products to be competitive in quality,
service, and price and has been able to compete successfully with
other products offered in the markets it serves.

      Kerr-McGee Corporation is not crude oil self-sufficient and
must supplement its production with spot purchases and crude oil
purchased under short-term agreements.  Also, spot purchases of
intermediate feedstocks are made to meet refining requirements.

      While the company's three refineries all process domestic
crude oil, the Corpus Christi, Texas, and Wynnewood, Oklahoma,
refineries also process foreign crude oil and other feedstocks. 
Total runs to stills at the company's three refineries averaged
140,000 barrels per day for 1993.  The company's 1993 refined-
product sales averaged 239,000 barrels per day.

      Refining and marketing had an operating loss of $28 million
for 1993, compared with an operating loss of $21 million for 1992. 
Revenues were $2 billion for 1993, compared with $2.2 billion for
1992.  The 1993 net operating loss was $19 million, compared with
a net operating loss of $13 million for 1992.  The operating losses
for both years resulted from negative margins due to product prices
declining faster than feedstock costs.  Reduction of the LIFO
inventory carrying value to market also adversely affected 1993
results.  Revenues for 1993 were lower than the prior year due to
lower sales prices and volumes.

      Kerr-McGee Corporation continues its efforts to sell, merge,
or restructure its refining and marketing operations.

Refining

      The company owns and operates three refineries with total
crude oil distillation capacity of 181,000 barrels per day.  The
following table lists the company's refinery locations, processing
capacities, and 1993 utilizations:

      The crude oil distillation capacity represents throughput
capacity of the crude oil stills.  The downstream refinery
processing capacity recognizes a practical limit on the ability to
absorb output of the crude oil distillation facilities.  The
downstream rating method is in conformance with the American
Petroleum Institute's definition for rating refinery capacity.  The
capacities of the refineries did not change in 1993.

      The Corpus Christi refinery produces gasoline, kerosene,
diesel fuel, heating oil, heavy fuel, jet fuel, and petrochemical
feedstocks.  Desulfurization/hydrotreating and sulfur-recovery
units provide the ability to process higher-sulfur crude and gas
oils and improve product yields.

      During 1993, construction of a 25 million gallon per year
cyclohexane unit was completed at Corpus Christi.  This unit
converts the refinery's benzene production into higher valued
cyclohexane, an intermediate feedstock used in nylon manufacturing. 
Upgrades to both the primary products and the crude oil ship docks
enhanced logistical capabilities of the Corpus Christi refinery.

      The refinery at Wynnewood produces gasoline, solvent, diesel
fuel, jet fuel, heavy fuel, light burner fuel, and asphalt.  During
1993, the refinery was connected to two major pipelines.  These
additional pipeline connections facilitate the delivery of crude
oil from West Texas and shipment of product from the Wynnewood
refinery.

      The Cotton Valley facility is a specialty-products plant
producing a full range of high-quality naphtha solvents, diesel
fuel, and jet fuel components.

Crude Oil Supply

      In 1993, approximately 159,000 barrels per day of crude oil
and intermediate feedstocks were delivered to the company's
refineries.  Of the crude oil delivered, 63% was domestic and 37%
was foreign.  This supply is acquired primarily from the company's
crude oil gathering system in Oklahoma and long-standing purchase
relationships with both domestic and foreign producers and
resellers.  The imported crude oil consisted largely of Kerr-
McGee's equity production from the North Sea and purchases of
additional light sweet crudes from West Africa and South America. 
About 24% of the 50 million barrels of crude oil processed by the
refineries was supplied by Kerr-McGee production operations.

      The company continues to expand both the Corpus Christi and
Wynnewood refineries' crude slates, extending their capability for
processing selected domestic sour crude oil.

      The company operates a crude oil pipeline system in Oklahoma
that contains approximately 1,500 miles of gathering and trunk
lines.  This system is used to gather and deliver domestic crude
oil to the Wynnewood refinery.  In addition, spot-market and
futures-market domestic crude oil is purchased at Cushing,
Oklahoma, where the company's crude oil storage capacity is 580,000
barrels.  Kerr-McGee Refining also operates a fleet of trucks in
Louisiana and Oklahoma to gather and deliver crude oil and
transport petroleum products.

Marketing and Product Distribution

      Products from the Wynnewood refinery are sold in the Midwest
and Southwest under the Kerr-McGee brand.  Gasoline, diesel fuel,
and heating oil are marketed through independent jobbers, dealers,
and company-operated stations.

      Kerr-McGee Refining markets to independent distributors and
bulk rack accounts in 30 states east of the Rocky Mountains,
selling a complete line of petroleum products in unbranded markets. 
At the retail level, gasoline and other products are marketed
through 52 company-operated retail service stations and
approximately 1,150 branded stations operated by jobbers and
independent dealers.

      Products are transported for distribution through various
common-carrier pipeline systems and by cargo ships and barges.  A
total of 13 waterway and pipeline terminals were owned and operated
by the company at the end of 1993.  The company has joint ownership
in two additional terminals.  The company sells products at
approximately 200 additional exchange terminals.

      Cato Oil and Grease Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Kerr-
McGee Refining, produces and markets automotive, marine,
industrial, mining, and agricultural lubricants and specialty
petroleum products at plants in Oklahoma City and Atlanta.  Most of
these products are marketed under the Kerr-McGee and Mystik brand
names throughout the United States.  Cato also manufactures and
packages lubricants and specialty petroleum products under private
label for several major-brand marketers and markets bulk lubricants
for use by industrial and mining operations.

                                      CHEMICALS

      Kerr-McGee Chemical Corporation produces and markets basic
industrial chemicals, specialty chemicals, forest products, and
heavy minerals.  Many of these products are processed using
proprietary technology developed by the company.

      Industrial chemicals include titanium dioxide pigment,
synthetic rutile, sodium chlorate, ammonium perchlorate, manganese
products, and vanadium.  Specialty chemicals are boron trichloride,
boron tribromide, and elemental boron.  Forest-product operations
produce railroad ties and other hardwood products and provide wood-
treating services.  Heavy minerals produced are ilmenite,
leucoxene, zircon, and rutile.

      Kerr-McGee Chemical had revenues and operating profit of $556
million and $70 million, respectively, for 1993, compared with $515
million and $79 million, respectively, for 1992.  Net operating
profit was $44 million for 1993, compared with $50 million the
previous year.  The increase in 1993 revenues, compared with 1992,
was due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower sales
prices for titanium dioxide pigment and most other products. 
Operating profit for 1993 was less than 1992 due to higher
operating expenses resulting from the increased sales volumes,
partially offset by lower per-unit cost of sales for synthetic
rutile and most other products.

Pigment

      The company's synthetic rutile plant at Mobile, Alabama, has
a production capacity of 155,000 tons per year.  This product
serves as feedstock for the company's titanium dioxide pigment
plant at Hamilton, Mississippi, which has a production capacity of
120,000 tons per year.

      KMCC Western Australia Pty. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Kerr-McGee Chemical Corporation, owns a 50% interest in a joint
venture that operates the world's first integrated titanium dioxide
project.  The project consists of a heavy minerals mine and mill
and facilities for the production of synthetic rutile and titanium
dioxide pigment, located on three sites within 120 miles of Perth.

      Heavy minerals are mined from a lease that totals 10,350
acres.  The property's remaining 270 million tons of sand contain
3% heavy minerals.  The heavy minerals contained within this 8
million-ton, heavy-mineral deposit are composed of 3.8% rutile, 61%
ilmenite, 6.8% leucoxene, 10.3% zircon, and 18.1% minerals which
are not presently produced or are of no value.  Additional drilling
is required to determine the actual quantities and grade of heavy
minerals contained in a second 2,540-acre property and the extent
to which it may be feasible to mine this deposit.  The company
holds a 50% interest in both properties.  The separation mill has
a capacity of 559,000 tons per year.

      The recovered ilmenite is processed into synthetic rutile at
the plant which has production capacity of 176,000 tons per year. 
Due to weak demand for synthetic rutile, the plant was shut down in
September 1993.  Operations resumed in March 1994.

      Production from the synthetic rutile plant serves as feedstock
for the domestic and international pigment operations.  The related
pigment plant has a production capacity of 66,000 tons per year.

      The company also owns a 25% interest in a pigment plant in
Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, which has a capacity of 56,000 tons per year.

Electrolytic Products

      The company's major electrolytic products are manganese
dioxide, manganese metal, sodium chlorate, and ammonium
perchlorate.

      The sodium chlorate plant at the company's Hamilton,
Mississippi, complex has production capacity of 123,000 tons per
year.  Also at Hamilton is a manganese metal plant that has a
capacity of 12,000 tons per year.

      Facilities at Henderson, Nevada, include electrolytic cells
and processing equipment for the manufacture of manganese dioxide,
a plant for the manufacture of ammonium perchlorate, and a
specialty boron products plant.  The production capacity at
Henderson is 16,000 and 20,000 tons per year for manganese dioxide
and ammonium perchlorate, respectively.  An expansion of the
manganese dioxide plant, currently in the final stage of mechanical
completion, is expected to increase capacity by 50% to 24,000 tons
per year by mid-1994.  Ammonium perchlorate blending and storage
facilities are located 25 miles north of the Henderson plant.

      The company also recovers vanadium pentoxide at a Soda
Springs, Idaho, plant from phosphate byproducts of other operations
in the area.  Annual capacity at the Soda Springs plant is 4.3
million pounds.

Forest Products

      The company's principal forest product is railroad crossties. 
Other products include crossing materials, bridge timber, and
utility poles.  The company owns seven wood-preserving plants
located along major railroads, six of which are east of the Rocky
Mountains.  Production of crossties with built-in rail fasteners
began in the fourth quarter 1993 at the Madison, Illinois, pilot
plant.  This innovative RAILFAST (Registered Trademark) system has been
patented by Kerr-McGee.

Phosphate Deposits

      During 1993, the company sold its remaining property
containing deposits of phosphate rock located in Alachua County,
Florida.

Marketing

      With net annual capacity in excess of 165,000 tons, Kerr-McGee
ranks seventh among the world's producers of titanium dioxide
pigment used primarily in the paint, plastics, and paper
industries.  Due to an oversupply during 1993, the company's sales
price declined 3% in the United States and more than 10% overseas;
however, consistent quality helped retain domestic and global
market shares of 10% and 5%, respectively.  The company entered
global pigment production in 1991 with the startup of plants in
Western Australia and Saudi Arabia.  Primary markets for this
production are the Pacific Rim and Europe.  During 1993, the
company assumed marketing responsibility for pigment from the Saudi
Arabian plant in all regions except the Middle East and a part of
Africa.  Global demand for this white pigment is expected to grow
about 3% per year.

      Manganese dioxide is a major component of alkaline dry-cell
batteries.  During 1993, Kerr-McGee supplied about 25% of the
manganese dioxide used by domestic battery manufacturers.  The
completion of the expansion of the Henderson plant should make
Kerr-McGee the world's third-largest manganese dioxide producer. 
Growth in U.S. demand is projected at an annual rate of 5% through
the end of the century.

      Manganese metal is used in specialty and stainless steel
alloys, and manganese-aluminum briquettes are an alloy that
strengthens aluminum beverage cans.  Kerr-McGee supplied about 50%
of the U.S. aluminum industry's manganese requirements in 1993.

      There is growth potential in sodium chlorate, which is used to
produce chlorine dioxide for an environmentally preferred pulp-
bleaching process.  Demand for sodium chlorate is expected to
continue to grow at an 8% annual rate over the near term as more
mills convert to this process.  Kerr-McGee has a 7% share of the
North American sodium chlorate market.

      The company's share of the U.S. railroad crosstie market is
more than 40%.

                                        COAL

      The company's coal operations are conducted by a subsidiary,
Kerr-McGee Coal Corporation, which produces coal from Jacobs Ranch
Mine, a surface mine in the Wyoming Powder River Basin; Galatia
Mine, an underground mine in the Illinois Basin; and Pioneer Fuel
Corporation, a combined surface and underground operation in West
Virginia.  The majority of shipments in 1993 were to electric
utilities under long-term sales contracts.  The company also makes
spot sales to domestic and foreign customers.  The company owns or
leases coal reserves in Illinois, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

      Coal operating profit totaled $80 million and $77 million for
1993 and 1992, respectively, on revenues of $328 million and $307
million, respectively.  The 1993 increase in revenues from the
prior year was due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by
lower sales prices.  Operating profit for 1993 improved due to the
increased revenues that more than offset higher operating expenses. 
Operating expenses were higher due to increased production volumes
even though the per-unit production costs declined.  Net operating
profit was $58 million and $53 million for 1993 and 1992,
respectively.

      Of the Wyoming reserves, 91% are held under Federal leases,
and the remaining 9% are leased from the State of Wyoming.  The
Illinois coal reserves are owned by Kerr-McGee or held under leases
with private parties.  West Virginia coal reserves are all held
under leases with private parties.  The company's mining units are
described below.

Jacobs Ranch Mine

      Jacobs Ranch Mine is located 50 miles southeast of Gillette,
Wyoming, in the South Powder River Basin.  The coal lease area
contains 7,514 acres of land, of which 3,832 acres are underlain by
311 million recoverable tons of coal.  This includes 1,700 acres
underlain by 132 million recoverable tons of coal which were
acquired in 1992 with additional acreage leased from the Bureau of
Land Management.  The company also owns or controls the surface
rights to 1,684 acres of a buffer zone, or overstrip area.  The
mine permit is presently being renewed for a five-year period and
expanded to incorporate the additional leased-acreage and the
buffer zone.

      Shipments began in 1978 and, through December 1993, totaled
more than 194 million tons.  All deliveries were made via the
Burlington Northern or Chicago Northwestern railroads.  Jacobs
Ranch Mine coal is sold primarily under long-term contracts for
ultimate use by electric utilities.  The terms of the Jacobs Ranch
Mine Federal leases were adjusted by the Bureau of Land Management
in 1990.


Clovis Point Mine

      Clovis Point Mine is located eight miles east of Gillette,
Wyoming.  In 1988, the company consolidated its Wyoming mining
operations at Jacobs Ranch Mine and ceased shipments from Clovis
Point Mine.  The facility remains on standby status.  The mine
permit has been renewed until 1999.

      The Clovis Point mining area consists of 3,143 acres leased
from the Federal government and 640 acres leased from the State of
Wyoming.  The company either owns or has surface-owner consent to
mine 71% of the Federal lease permit area.  The remaining 29% is
positioned so that it would be mined near the end of the mine life;
however, before mining, surface-owner consent must be obtained and
the mine permit amended.  The terms of one of the two Federal
leases at Clovis Point Mine were adjusted by the Bureau of Land
Management in 1990, and the terms of the other Federal lease are
due to be reconsidered in 1995.   The terms of the state lease,
which contains the mine pit, were renewed for an additional 10-year
period during 1993.  The royalty rate may be adjusted for the last
five years of the lease.  The three Clovis Point leases are held in
a logical mining unit.  The provisions of the leases require that
an additional 800,000 tons of coal be mined by September 1996.

Galatia Mine

      The Galatia Mine is located near Galatia, Illinois, in Saline
County.  Within the mine area, Kerr-McGee controls 33,338 acres
through leases and mineral ownership.  Shipments from Galatia Mine
began in 1984 and, through December 1993, totaled more than 26
million tons and were made principally via the Illinois Central
Railroad.  The mine is a dual-seam mine operating in both the
Harrisburg No. 5 and the Herrin No. 6 coal seams.  The Harrisburg
No. 5 coal is suitable as a semi-soft coking coal or as a high-Btu,
relatively low-sulfur steam coal, which will allow utilities to
comply with Phase I of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (Phase
I) without installing flue gas desulfurization units.  The Herrin
No. 6 is a high-Btu, medium-sulfur steam coal.  Its sulfur content
requires that it be blended or used by plants equipped with flue
gas desulfurization units to meet Phase I requirements.

      Longwall mining has been used in the No. 5 seam since 1992 and 
in the No. 6 seam since 1989.  Longwall mining is a high-recovery,
high-productivity, and low operating cost system.  It represents a
significant improvement over the previously used room-and-pillar
continuous miner method.

      In anticipation of market demand for low-sulfur coal, an
expansion was begun in 1992 to extend production in the No. 5 seam
through an ancient river channel north of the current mining area. 
Scheduled for completion in 1994, the project will provide access
to lower-sulfur coal reserves.  Ventilation and access shafts are
complete, as are tunnels through the mile-wide river channel that
has displaced the coal.  Development of the shaft bottom area and
the first longwall panel gate entry is under way.  Mining of the
No. 6 seam will cease on completion of this longwall panel
development, and the longwall equipment will be moved from the No.
6 seam to this low-sulfur reserve.  The No. 5 seam will then be a
dual-longwall operation.  Combined with a plant expansion that is
underway and scheduled for completion in 1994, the No. 5 seam will
be capable of sustaining production and  shipments of six million
tons per year of high-Btu, low-sulfur Phase I compliance coal.

Pioneer Fuel Corporation

      Pioneer Fuel Corporation operates both surface and underground
mines located near Oceana, West Virginia, in Wyoming County. 
Within the mine area, the company controls 7,970 acres through
leases with private parties.  Shipments since acquisition in late
1990 totaled approximately 2 million tons and were made via the
Norfolk and Southern Railroad.   The mines currently operate in the
No. 2 Gas and Hernshaw seams.  Both seams are suitable as mid- to
high-volatile, low-sulfur coking coal.  Current facility capacity
is approximately 1 million tons of clean coal per year.

Marketing

      Coal is sold predominantly under long-term contracts, although
spot sales were made in 1993 to domestic and foreign customers.
During 1993, the company had export sales of metallurgical coal to
Japan, France, Italy, Spain, and Sweden and steam coal to Morocco. 
Domestic deliveries of steam coal will continue, primarily under
long-term contracts with electric utilities in Arkansas, Indiana,
Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas.  A total of 200 million
tons of coal is committed to delivery under long-term contracts
expiring between 1996 and 2012.

      Coal markets continue to experience competitive pricing. 
Kerr-McGee's existing long-term contracts have provided profitable
sales even under these competitive conditions.  For a discussion of
the effects of a 1993 contract renegotiation, reference is made to
the Financial Condition section of Management's Discussion and
Analysis beginning on page 27 of the 1993 Annual Report to
Stockholders, which discussion is incorporated herein by reference
in Item 7.

      Although domestic markets are affected by the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990, the company is well positioned with its
reserves of low-sulfur coal.  Approximately 70% of the company's
coal will continue to be considered compliance coal after the year
2000.  Uncommitted reserves and existing production capacity should
permit the company to expand its export sales and participate in
the expected growth in domestic demand for low-sulfur coal.

      For information regarding coal reserves, production, and
average market prices for each of the years 1989 through 1993,
reference is made to Note 29 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements on page 55 of the 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders,
which note is incorporated by reference in Item 8.

Research and Development

      Research and development in support of the company's existing
businesses and in the pursuit of new products and processes is
carried out primarily by the Technology and Engineering Division. 
The Technology and Engineering Division's programs continue to
concentrate on improvements to existing chemical plant processes,
exploratory research, and support for refining and coal processing. 
The division includes a Technical Center, located in Oklahoma City,
as well as a process engineering department and a technology
planning and evaluation group.  Research and development
expenditures totaled $19 million in 1993, $17 million in 1992, and
$16 million in 1991.

Employees

      The company had 5,812 employees on December 31, 1993. 
Approximately 430, or 7%, of these employees were represented by
collective bargaining agreements.  Kerr-McGee Corporation was a
party to four collective bargaining agreements through its refining
and marketing operations.  Collective bargaining agreements
representing approximately 180 employees will expire during 1994.

      The status of labor relations within the company continues to
be stable.  No strikes or work stoppages have occurred within the
past six years.

Competitive Conditions

      In the petroleum industry, competition exists from the initial
process of bidding for leases to the sales of refined products.
Competitive factors include finding and developing petroleum
hydrocarbons, transporting raw materials, distributing and pricing
refined products, and marketing strategies. During the past several
years, crude oil and natural gas supplies and refining capacities
have exceeded demand.  This excess of supply over demand has
resulted in lower prices, compared with the prices received prior
to 1985.  The volatility of crude oil prices during the past few
years has placed increased emphasis on all competitive aspects of
the petroleum industry.

      Excess capacity for titanium dioxide pigment and ammonium
perchlorate has also reduced prices for these products.  The key
competitive factor in the industrial and specialty chemicals
industry is the application of technology to produce high-quality,
value-added proprietary products at the lowest possible cost.

      Most of the company's coal customers are domestic electric
utilities, an extremely competitive market.  Cost efficiencies,
transportation strategies, and product quality are key competitive
factors in the coal industry.

      It is not possible to predict the effect of future competition
on Kerr-McGee's operating and financial results.

<PAGE>

                  GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESERVES

General

      The company is subject to extensive regulation by Federal,
state, local, and foreign governments.  The production and sale of
crude oil and natural gas in the United States are subject to
regulation by Federal and state authorities, particularly with
respect to allowable rates of production, offshore production, and
environmental matters.  Stringent environmental protection laws and
regulations apply to refining and chemical operations.  In
addition, there are special taxes that apply to the oil, gas, and
coal mining industries.

Environmental Matters

      Federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to
environmental protection affect almost all plants and facilities of
the company.  During 1993, direct capital and operating
expenditures related to environmental protection and cleanup of
existing sites totaled $39 million.  Additional expenditures
totaling $30 million were charged to environmental reserves.  While
it is extremely difficult to estimate the total direct and indirect
costs to the company of government environmental regulations, it is
presently estimated that the direct capital and operating
expenditures and expenditures charged to reserves will be
approximately $65 million in 1994.  Additional amounts could be
charged to environmental reserves in 1994 if regulatory approvals
for removal of waste material from the West Chicago site are
obtained.  Some expenditures to reduce the occurrence of releases
to the environment, such as replaced or upgraded underground
storage tanks, may result in increased efficiency; however, most of
these expenditures do not produce any significant increase in
production capacity, efficiency, or revenue.  Operation of
pollution control equipment installed for these purposes usually
entails additional expense.  Moreover, there are costs associated
with staff and management time that cannot be calculated or
estimated with any assurance of accuracy.

      Based on present information, the company believes that it has
accrued and is accruing reasonable reserves for expenditures that
may have to be made in the future for environmental protection. 
Because of continually changing laws and regulations, the nature of
the company's businesses, the large number of other potentially
responsible parties, and pending proceedings, it is not possible to
estimate the amount or timing of all future expenditures relating
to environmental matters.  The company provides for costs related
to contingencies when a loss is probable and the amount is
reasonably estimable.  Although management believes adequate
reserves have been provided for all known contingencies, it is
possible, due to the above noted uncertainties, that additional
reserves could be required in the future that could have a material
effect on results of operations in a particular quarter or annual
period.  However, the ultimate resolution of these commitments and
contingencies, to the extent not previously provided for, should
not have a material adverse effect on the company's financial
position.

      Also see "Item 3.  Legal Proceedings," which follows.

Item 3.   Legal Proceedings

      On April 2, 1992, the company's subsidiary, Kerr-McGee Coal
Corporation, received a Complaint, Compliance Order, and Notice of
Opportunity for Hearing from the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) for alleged violations at the Jacobs Ranch Mine in
northern Wyoming.  Included in the EPA order are provisions for
fines totaling more than $2.9 million.  The company and its
subsidiary continue to take all necessary steps to resolve this
matter.

      In 1991, the California Department of Toxic Substance Control
(DTSC) issued a Report of Violation outlining certain violations of
the California Health and Safety Code alleged to have occurred
during operation by a subsidiary of the company of the former
Searles Valley chemical facilities.  The DTSC and the company's
subsidiary are negotiating an agreement to resolve this matter
which, if it is adopted in its current form, would result in a
settlement of less than $1.5 million.

      The company continues its efforts to obtain the necessary
approvals to decommission a facility located in West Chicago,
Illinois, which processed thorium ores and was closed in 1973. 
Currently, the State of Illinois has jurisdiction of this site and
the company has agreed to offsite disposal of the waste material.

      For a discussion of contingencies, including a detailed
discussion of the West Chicago matter, reference is made to the
Financial Condition section of Management's Discussion and Analysis
and Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 27
and 39 respectively, of the 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders,
which discussion and note are incorporated by reference in Item 7
and Item 8, respectively.

Report of Independent Public Accountants On Financial
  Statement Schedules                                

To Kerr-McGee Corporation:

We have audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated financial statements included in Kerr-
McGee Corporation's 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders incorporated
by reference in this Form 10-K, and have issued our report thereon
dated February 18, 1994.  Our report on the consolidated financial
statements includes an explanatory paragraph with respect to
changes in accounting for postretirement benefits other than
pensions and income taxes in 1992 as discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements.  Our audit was made for the purpose of
forming an opinion on those statements taken as a whole.  The
financial statement schedules V, VI, VIII, and X are the
responsibility of the company's management and are presented for
purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's
rules and are not part of the basic consolidated financial
statements.  These schedules have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic consolidated financial
statements and, in our opinion, fairly state in all material
respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in
relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole.

(A)  Effective January 1, 1992, the differences between the assigned values and the tax bases of assets previously

     The offsetting amounts were to deferred income taxes.

Depreciation, Depletion, and Amortization Rates

     Costs of producing oil and gas wells and a portion of the producing coal and chemical assets are charged to
     depreciation, depletion, and amortization over their estimated lives using the unit-of-production method.  It is
     not practical to summarize depreciation and amortization rates applicable to other assets for which the
     straight-line method is used because of the variety of properties and numerous rates used.  These rates are
     reviewed annually and revised as deemed necessary.

Reclassification

     For a discussion of the reclassification of previously presented information, reference is made to Note 2 to the
     Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page 35 of the 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders, which note is
     incorporated by reference in Item 8.

Exhibit 23
Exhibit 24


                            AGREEMENT


AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT, restated as of December 31, 1992
(the "Agreement") between KERR-McGEE CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation having its executive offices at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
(the "Company"), and George R. Hennigan, residing in XXXXXX,
Oklahoma (the "Executive").  Unless otherwise indicated, terms used
herein are defined in Schedule A.

WHEREAS, the Executive is currently employed by the Company and/or
its Subsidiaries pursuant to an amended and restated agreement,
restated as of February 1, 1988 (the "Existing Agreement"); and

WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company's Board of Directors believe
that such Existing Agreement, which is a three-year self-renewing
employment agreement, should be amended and restated as of
December 31, 1992; and

WHEREAS, the Company's Board of Directors has determined that it
wishes to continue the employment of the Executive and that it is
appropriate to reinforce the continued attention and dedication of
the Executive to his assigned duties without distraction in
potentially disturbing circumstances arising from the possibility
of a Change of Control of the Company; and

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive now wish to amend and
restate the Existing Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements
hereinafter set forth, the Company and the Executive agree as
follows:



1.   Employment:  The Company agrees to continue to employ the
Executive and he agrees to continue to serve the Company and its
Subsidiaries, upon the terms and conditions stated herein, for the
term of employment commencing on the date hereof and ending on
January 31, 1996, unless prior to a Change of Control such
employment is involuntarily terminated hereunder for Reason or as
a result of the Executive's death or disability.  The Company
further agrees that if a Change of Control occurs either before, on
or after January 31, 1996, and the Executive is employed by the
Company immediately prior to such Change of Control, the Company
will not, prior to the third anniversary of the Change of Control,
terminate the Executive's employment with the Company except for
Cause or as a result of the Executive's death or Disability. 
Following a Change of Control any involuntary termination of the
Executive's employment hereunder for any reason other than death
shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination.  The Executive
will be employed in an executive capacity and will perform the
duties of President of Kerr-McGee Chemical Corporation and Senior
Vice President of Kerr-McGee Corporation or such other duties as
may be assigned to him from time to time by the Company.

The Executive shall devote substantially all of his business time,
attention, skill and efforts to the business of the Company and its
Subsidiaries while employed hereunder and shall perform the duties
of his position and any other duties assigned to him by the Company
to the best of his ability.

2.   Compensation:  As compensation for his services, the Company
agrees to pay the Executive, so long as he shall be employed
hereunder, a salary determined from time to time by the Company,
but at a rate not less than  $200,000   per annum, payable either
biweekly or in equal semimonthly installments on the fifteenth and
last day of the month, provided that if at any time while the
Executive is employed hereunder he should receive an increase in
the annual base salary being paid him by the Company, the above
specified minimum salary rate shall thereupon increase by a
corresponding amount.  The Executive shall also be eligible for
participation in any employee benefit plans and compensation
programs available to salaried employees or employees generally of
the Company or any Subsidiary that employs the Executive.

3.   Noncompetition:  The Executive agrees that at any time while
employed hereunder he will not engage in any activity competitive
with any business carried on by the Company or its Subsidiaries and
Affiliates, without obtaining the specific prior written consent of
the Company.  He, however, shall be free without the consent of the
Company to purchase stocks or other securities of any corporation
listed on a national securities exchange or included in a published
"over the counter" list.

4.   Compensation During Illness:  If while employed hereunder the
Executive shall become unable to perform his duties hereunder due
to illness or other incapacity, compensation during such period
shall be provided in accordance with the sick leave policy for
salaried employees or employees generally of the Company or any
Subsidiary that employs the Executive, or if applicable, under an
income protection insurance plan for salaried employees and
employees generally of the Company or any Subsidiary that employs
the Executive.  Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, no
other compensation shall be provided during the period of such
illness or incapacity.

5.   Death:  In the event of the Executive's death while employed
hereunder, his spouse, or personal representative if such spouse
shall have died, shall be entitled to receive his salary at the
rate then in effect through the date of his death plus one
additional pay period as provided under the Company's pay policy,
as well as any amounts previously earned and not paid for the
periods of service prior to his date of death.

6.   Successors:  Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the
consolidation of the Company with, or its merger into, any other
corporation or the sale by the Company of all or substantially all
of its properties or assets, or the assignment by the Company of
this Agreement in connection with any of the above mentioned
actions; provided that the Company will require any successor
(whether direct or indirect, by merger, consolidation or otherwise)
to all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the
Company, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the
Executive, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement
in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be
required to perform it if no such succession has taken place.  This
Agreement shall not be assignable by the Executive or by the
Company or its successors except as provided herein.

7.   Retirement:  Notwithstanding the Executive's agreement herein
to serve for the term of his employment under this Agreement, the
Executive may retire under a retirement plan available to salaried
employees or employees generally of the Company or any Subsidiary
that employs the Executive when entitled to do so, except that he
may elect early retirement under any such plan only upon giving the
Company (or a Subsidiary employing the Executive) six months'
written notice; and upon his retirement his term of employment
hereunder shall terminate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
following a Change of Control, (i) the Executive may elect early
retirement under a retirement plan available to salaried employees
or employees generally of the Company or any Subsidiary that
employs the Executive upon giving the Company (or a Subsidiary
employing the Executive) two days' written notice and (ii) any
retirement under such plan that is coincident with or subsequent to
an involuntary termination of the Executive's employment for any
reason other than Cause, death or Disability will not preclude
payments under this Agreement to which the Executive is entitled in
respect of such termination.

8.   Acceleration and Vesting of Stock Plans, Stock Options and
SAR's Following a Change of Control:  In the event a Change of
Control of the Company shall have occurred while the Executive is
employed hereunder, then, notwithstanding the terms and conditions
of any benefit plan or compensation program of the Company or any
Subsidiary that employs the Executive including but not limited to
any purchase plan, stock bonus plan, stock incentive plan, stock
option plan, employee stock ownership plan or similar plan or
program (excluding any plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the
Code), the Company agrees (i) to accelerate, vest, and make
immediately exercisable in full (to the extent not already provided
for under the terms of such applicable plans or programs) all
unexercisable installments of all options to acquire securities of
the Company and any accompanying stock appreciation rights, which
are Beneficially Owned by the Executive on the date of such Change
of Control, and (ii) to waive any applicable restrictions,
including resale restrictions or rights of repurchase, relating to
or imposed on securities granted by the Company to the Executive
pursuant to such plans or programs which securities are
Beneficially Owned by the Executive on such date.

9.   Mitigation:  If at any time the Executive's employment
hereunder shall be terminated for any reason, then all payments and
benefits to which the Executive is entitled under this Agreement
shall be made and provided without offset, deduction or mitigation
on account of income the Executive could or may receive from other
employment or otherwise; provided, however, that if the Executive
is involuntarily terminated for any reason other than Reason prior
to a Change of Control, then, until the term of this Agreement
ends, the amount payable under this Agreement shall be reduced by
any compensation actually received by the Executive from comparable
employment (as to position, compensation and responsibility) with
any person or entity that is engaged in a business that is
competitive with the Company or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates.

10.  Legal Expenses:  The Company shall pay (at least monthly) all
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements, which the Executive may incur in connection with any
litigation, arbitration or similar proceeding, whether instituted
by the Company or the Executive, with respect to the interpretation
or enforcement of any provision under this Agreement.

11.  Accommodations and Travel Expenses:  The Company agrees that
while the Executive is employed hereunder he shall be furnished
office space and accommodations suitable to the character of his
position and adequate for the performance of his duties. 
Reasonable traveling expenses incurred by him in traveling on
business of the Company and its Subsidiaries will be reimbursed in
accordance with the established traveling expense policy of the
Company or any Subsidiary that employs the Executive.

12.  Notices:  Any notices required under the terms of this
Agreement shall be effective when mailed, postage prepaid, by
certified mail, addressed:

Management's Discussion and Analysis

Results of Consolidated Operations

     The company's net income for 1993 was $77 million, or $1.57 per
common share, compared with a 1992 net loss of $101 million, or $2.08
per common share, and 1991 net income of $102 million, or $2.10 per
common share.  The 1992 loss included after-tax charges for the
cumulative effect on prior years of changes in accounting principles
of $70 million, or $1.45 per common share (see Note 2), and for the
early extinguishment of the 9-3/4% debt of $5 million, or $.10 per
common share (see Note 10).  Excluding these charges, the net loss was
$26 million, or $.53 per common share.  The 1992 net loss also
included a provision for environmental reclamation and remediation of
inactive plant sites in the amount of $205 million, or $130 million
after income tax benefits (see Note 11).

     Operating profit for 1993 was $199 million, compared with $229
million and $267 million for 1992 and 1991, respectively.  The $30
million decrease in 1993 operating profit, compared with 1992,
resulted from lower operating profit from all segments except coal,
which increased slightly.  The $38 million decline in 1992 operating
profit from 1991 was due to lower results from refining and marketing
and chemical operations, which more than offset the increased
operating profit from exploration and production operations.  Coal
operating profit did not change from 1991 to 1992.

     Consolidated sales totaled $3.3 billion for 1993, compared with
$3.4 billion for 1992 and $3.3 billion for 1991.  Revenues in 1993
were slightly lower than 1992 as higher crude oil and coal sales
volumes and higher natural gas sales prices were more than offset by
lower sales prices for crude oil, coal, and most chemical and refined
products.

     Costs and operating expenses decreased $90 million in 1993 due to
lower crude oil and feedstock costs for refining and marketing
operations, partially offset by higher costs resulting from increased
sales volumes of coal and certain chemical products.  The $170 million
increase in 1992 costs and operating expenses compared with 1991 was
due to higher product costs incurred by refining and marketing and
chemical operations.

<PAGE>

     Selling, general, and administrative expenses for 1993 were $16
million lower than 1992 due to lower costs resulting from the
company's streamlining program and lower costs associated with assets
sold in prior years.  In 1992, the $16 million decrease in selling,
general, and administrative expenses  from 1991 was due primarily to
lower costs associated with the company's streamlining and incentive
compensation programs.

     Exploration costs for 1993, 1992, and 1991 were $71 million, $55
million, and $81 million, respectively.  The 1993 increase resulted
primarily from higher costs for dry holes.  The decline in 1992 from
1991 resulted principally from lower costs for dry holes.

     Provisions for environmental reclamation and remediation of
inactive facilities totaled $4 million, $205 million, and $11 million
in 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively.  The 1992 amount represented
additional provisions established for the removal of low-level
radioactive materials from the company's inactive facility in West
Chicago, Illinois, and reclamation and remediation of several other
inactive facilities.


     Interest and debt expense for 1993, 1992, and 1991 was $47 million,
$66 million, and $78 million, respectively.  The decrease over the
three-year period resulted primarily from lower average interest rates
and lower debt in 1993.

     Other income totaled $19 million for 1993, a $23 million decrease
from 1992.  This decrease was primarily due to lower foreign currency
translation gains.  Other income for 1992 was $18 million lower than
1991 due to lower gains from property sales and lower interest income,
partially offset by foreign currency translation gains in 1992,
compared with 1991 losses.


Segment Operations

     Operating profit (loss) from each of the company's segments is
summarized in the following table:

</TABLE>
Exploration and Production

     Exploration and production operating profit was $82 million for
1993, compared with $91 million for 1992 and $67 million for 1991. 
The decline in 1993 compared with 1992 resulted from lower crude oil
sales prices, higher exploration costs, and lower natural gas
deliveries, partially offset by higher natural gas sales prices and
higher crude oil sales volumes.  The 1992 increase from 1991 was due
to lower exploration costs and higher natural gas deliveries and sales
prices, partially offset by lower crude oil sales prices.  Revenues
and crude oil and natural gas volumes and prices are summarized in the
following table:

</TABLE>
Refining and Marketing

     Refining and marketing had an operating loss of $28 million for
1993, compared with an operating loss of $21 million for 1992 and
operating profit of $31 million for 1991.  Revenues were $2 billion,
$2.2 billion, and $2.1 billion in 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively. 
The 1993 and 1992 operating losses resulted from negative margins due
to product prices declining faster than feedstock costs and a
reduction in LIFO inventory carrying value in 1993.  Revenues for 1993
were lower than the prior year due to lower sales prices and volumes. 
The 1992 revenue increase was due to higher sales volumes, partially
offset by lower sales prices.


Chemicals

     Chemicals operating profit totaled $70 million, $79 million, and
$101 million for 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively, on revenues of
$556 million, $515 million, and $454 million, respectively.  The
increase in 1993 revenues, compared with 1992, was due primarily to
higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower sales prices for
titanium dioxide pigment and most other products.  Operating profit
for 1993 was less than 1992 due to higher operating expenses resulting
from the increased sales volumes, partially offset by lower per-unit
cost of sales for synthetic rutile and most other products.  The
increase in 1992 revenues, compared with 1991, was due to higher sales
volumes for most products and higher sales prices for ammonium
perchlorate, partially offset by lower sales prices for most other
products.  The decrease in 1992 operating profit from the prior year
was due to higher per-unit production costs for ammonium perchlorate
and the Western Australia operation, partially offset by the increased
revenues.

<PAGE>

Coal

     Coal operating profit totaled $80 million in 1993 and $77 million
in both 1992 and 1991.  Revenues were $328 million, $307 million, and
$315 million in 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively.  Revenues
increased in 1993 due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by
lower average sales prices.  Operating profit for 1993 improved due to
the increased revenues that more than offset higher operating
expenses.  Operating expenses were higher due to increased production
volumes even though the per-unit production costs declined.  The 1992
decrease in revenues from the prior year was due to lower sales
volumes, partially offset by higher average sales prices.  Operating
profit for 1992 remained level with 1991 due to lower production costs
offset by the decrease in revenues.


Financial Condition

Cash Flow

     Net cash provided by operating activities continued to be the
primary source of funding for the company's capital expenditures
program and dividend payments.  For 1993, net cash provided by
operating activities totaled $424 million, compared with $277 million
and $194 million for 1992 and 1991, respectively.  The company's net
cash provided by operating activities for 1993 reflects net income of
$77 million; depreciation, depletion, and amortization of $321
million; and a net decrease in working capital items, excluding cash
and short-term debt.  Net cash provided by operating activities for
1992 consisted of the 1992 net loss of $101 million, which included
noncash charges for: (1) depreciation, depletion, and amortization of
$312 million; (2) an after-tax environmental provision for inactive
sites of $130 million; and (3) the cumulative effect of accounting
changes of $70 million.  These noncash charges were partially offset
by changes in working capital items, excluding cash and short-term
debt.  Net cash provided by operating activities in 1991 was less than
the 1992 amount due to the prepayment of future income tax settlements
and the payment of income taxes resulting from the 1990 sale of the
foreign contract drilling operations.

     Net cash used by the company in investing activities totaled $396
million, $325 million, and $458 million for 1993, 1992, and 1991,
respectively.  The major investing activity during each of the three
years was for cash capital expenditures, which totaled $451 million in
1993, $373 million in 1992, and $504 million in 1991.  Partially
offsetting were investing inflows of $35 million in 1992 from a
contract settlement and $39 million and $36 million in 1993 and 1991,
respectively, from the sale of the contract drilling operations.

     Financing activities provided net cash totaling $9 million in 1993
and $3 million in 1991 and used net cash of $87 million in 1992. 
Dividends paid to common stockholders of the company totaled $73
million in both 1993 and 1992 and $72 million in 1991.  In 1993,
increases in short-term borrowings exceeded long-term debt repayments
by $79 million.  In 1992, an additional $15 million was used for the
net repayment of debt.  In addition to common stock dividends paid
during 1991, the company purchased $13 million of treasury stock, paid
dividends of $82 million to the minority stockholders of foreign
subsidiaries, and increased net borrowings by $169 million.

Liquidity

     The net working capital position of the company at year-end 1993
was $79 million, compared with $210 million at the end of 1992.  This
$131 million decrease resulted primarily from an increase in short-
term debt of $129 million.  The current ratio was 1.1 to 1 at December
31, 1993, compared with 1.3 to 1 at December 31, 1992, and 1.6 to 1 at
December 31, 1991.

     In September 1993, the company called its $150 million, 7-1/4%
convertible subordinated debentures due in 2012 for redemption on
October 15, 1993 (see Note 10).  The percentage of total debt to total
capitalization was 37% at December 31, 1993, compared with 42% and 39%
at year-end 1992 and 1991, respectively.  The year-end 1993 percentage
decreased from the prior year due to the reduction in total debt
outstanding of $73 million and the conversion of the convertible
debentures.

     The company has several revolving credit agreements.  One provides
for combined borrowings by the company and Kerr-McGee Credit
Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary, of up to $300 million through
August 15, 1995, of which $70 million was outstanding at year-end
1993.  Another agreement entered into by the company and Kerr-McGee
Oil (U.K.) PLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, is a revolving credit
agreement with several banks providing for combined borrowings of up
to $230 million through October 16, 1997, of which $215 million was
outstanding at year-end 1993.  Both of these agreements require that
the principal amounts outstanding be paid in full on the respective
termination dates.  Interest is payable at varying rates.

     During 1993, one of the company's wholly owned subsidiaries, Kerr-
McGee Canada Ltd. (KMCL), entered into revolving credit agreements
with three banks, each to provide borrowings of up to U.S. $30
million.  Interest is payable at varying rates.  Prior to the
termination dates and in accordance with the terms of the respective
agreements, KMCL may request an extension of the commitment period for
not more than one year.  The company is the

27

guarantor of each of these agreements.  At December 31, 1993, amounts
outstanding pursuant to the agreements were as follows:

</TABLE>
     At year-end 1993, the company had available unused lines of credit
and revolving credit facilities of $328 million.  Of this amount, $270
million and $51 million can be used to support the commercial paper
borrowings of Kerr-McGee Credit Corporation and Kerr-McGee Oil (U.K.)
PLC, respectively.

     Capital expenditures for the three years ended December 31, 1993,
totaled $1.3 billion and have been financed through internally
generated funds and various borrowings.  For the three-year period
ended December 31, 1993, net cash provided by operating activities,
excluding working capital changes, totaled $1.1 billion, slightly less
than the total capital expenditures during the same period.

     Management anticipates that the cash requirements for the 1994
capital expenditures program, currently estimated to be $430 million,
excluding acquisitions, and the capital expenditures programs for the
next several years can be provided through internally generated funds
and selective short-term and/or long-term borrowings.

     It is the company's intent to hedge a large portion of its material
monetary assets, liabilities, and commitments denominated in foreign
currencies; therefore, from time to time, the company purchases
foreign currencies and forward contracts to provide funds for known or
anticipated operating requirements that will be denominated in foreign
currencies.  Outstanding forward contracts are described in Note 1 to
the financial statements.

     Coal markets continue to experience competitive pricing due to
excess production capacity.  As a result, the scheduled contract price
renegotiation with an Illinois coal customer during the 1993 fourth
quarter resulted in a commitment for continued deliveries through 1999
but at prices lower than under the previous contract.  The negative
impact of these lower contract prices on 1994 operating profit is
expected to be approximately $25 million.  
     Although domestic markets are affected by the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990, the company is well positioned with its reserves
of low-sulfur coal.  Approximately 70% of the company's present
reserves will continue to be considered compliance coal after the year
2000.  Uncommitted reserves and existing production capacity should
permit the company to expand its export sales and participate in the
expected growth in domestic demand for low-sulfur coal.

Environmental Matters

     The company's operations are subject to various federal and state
environmental laws and regulations.  Under these laws, the company is
subject to possible obligations to remove or mitigate the effects on
the environment of the disposal or release of certain chemical,
petroleum, or low-level radioactive substances at various sites,
including sites that have been designated Superfund sites by the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) pursuant to
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended.  The company has received notices
that it has been named a potentially responsible party (PRP) with
respect to the remediation of 14 existing U.S. EPA Superfund sites and
may share liability at certain of these sites.  In addition, the
company and/or its subsidiaries have executed consent orders, operate
under a license, or have reached agreements to perform or have
performed remediation or remedial investigations and feasibility
studies on sites not included as U.S. EPA Superfund sites.

     The company does not consider the number of sites for which it has
been named a PRP to be a relevant measure of liability.  Because of
continually changing environmental laws and regulations, the nature of
the company's businesses, the large number of other PRPs, the present
state of the law which, under CERCLA, imposes joint and several
liability on all PRPs, and pending legal proceedings, the company is
uncertain as to its involvement in many of the sites.  Therefore, the
company is unable to reliably estimate the potential liability and the
timing of future expenditures that may arise from many of these
environmental sites.  Reserves have been established for the
remediation and reclamation of active and inactive sites where it is
probable that future costs will be incurred and the liability is
estimable.  In 1993, $8 million was added to the reserve for active
and inactive sites.  At December 31, 1993, the company's reserve for
these sites totaled $278 million.  In addition, at year-end 1993, the
company had reserves of $67 million for the future costs for the
abandonment and removal of offshore well and production facilities at
the end of their productive lives and $14 million for the
decommissioning and reclamation of coal mining locations.  In the
Consolidated Balance Sheet, $336 million of these reserves is
classified as a deferred credit and the remaining $23 million is
included in current liabilities.

     Expenditures for the environmental protection and cleanup of
existing sites for each of the last three years and for the three-year
period ending December 31, 1993, were as follows:

     Although management believes adequate reserves have been provided
for environmental and all other known contingencies, it is possible,
due to the previously noted uncertainties, that additional reserves
could be required in the future that could have a material effect on
the results of operations in a particular quarter or annual period. 
However, the ultimate resolution of these commitments and
contingencies, to the extent not previously provided for, should not
have a material adverse effect on the company's financial position.

Accounting Matters

     In November 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 112,
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," effective for
years beginning after December 15, 1993.  This statement requires the
accrual of compensation expense for the cost of benefits to be
provided to former or inactive employees after employment but before
retirement.

     In May 1993, the FASB issued FAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan."  FAS 114, effective for years beginning
after December 15, 1994, requires that impaired loans be measured
based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at
the loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of the
collateral, if the loan is collateral-dependent.

     Also in May 1993, the FASB issued FAS No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."  FAS 115,
effective for years beginning after December 15, 1993, expands the use
of fair value accounting for certain investments in debt and equity
securities but retains the use of the amortized cost method for
investments in debt securities that the company has the positive
intent and ability to hold to maturity.

     The impact of the new accounting requirements on the company's
results of operations or financial condition is not expected to be
material.

Responsibility for Financial Reporting

     The company's management is responsible for the integrity and
objectivity of the financial data contained in the financial
statements.  These financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles appropriate
under the circumstances and, where necessary, reflect informed
judgments and estimates of the effects of certain events and
transactions based on currently available information at the date the
financial statements were prepared.

     The company's management depends on the company's system of
internal accounting controls to assure itself of the reliability of
the financial statements.  The internal control system is designed to
provide reasonable assurance, at appropriate cost, that assets are
safeguarded and transactions are executed in accordance with
management's authorizations and are recorded properly to permit the
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.  Periodic reviews are made of internal
controls by the company's staff of internal auditors, and corrective
action is taken if needed.

     The Board of Directors reviews and monitors financial statements
through its audit committee, which is composed solely of directors who
are not officers or employees of the company.  The audit committee
meets with the independent public accountants, internal auditors, and
management to review internal accounting controls, auditing, and
financial reporting matters.

     The independent public accountants are engaged to provide an
objective and independent review of the company's financial statements
and to express an opinion thereon.  Their audits are conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and their
report is included below.


Report of Independent Public Accountants

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Kerr-McGee Corporation:

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Kerr-McGee Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiary
companies as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related
consolidated statements of income, retained earnings, and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993. 
These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kerr-McGee
Corporation and subsidiary companies as of December 31, 1993 and 1992,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

     As explained in Note 2 to the financial statements, effective
January 1, 1992, the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions," and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."  Prior years' financial
statements were not restated.

Notes to Financial Statements

1.      Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all
subsidiary companies that are more than 50% owned and the
proportionate share of joint ventures in which Kerr-McGee has an
undivided interest.  Investments in affiliated companies that are 20%
to 50% owned are carried as Investments and Other Assets in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet at cost adjusted for equity in
undistributed earnings.  Except for dividends, changes in equity in
undistributed earnings are included in the Consolidated Statement of
Income.  All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Translation of Foreign Currencies
     As the U.S. dollar has been adopted as the functional currency for
each of the company's international operations, foreign currency
translation gains or losses are recognized in the period incurred. 
Total foreign currency translation gains and losses in 1993 and 1991
were immaterial.  The company recorded net foreign currency
translation gains of $20 million in 1992.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
     After adding the dilutive effect of the restricted stock and the
conversion of stock options to the weighted average number of shares
outstanding, the shares used to compute net income per common share
were     49,281,023 in 1993 and 48,330,405 in 1991.  The weighted
average number of  shares used to compute the 1992 net loss per share
was 48,275,913.

Cash Equivalents
     The company considers all investments purchased with a maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Cash includes time
deposits, certificates of deposit, and U.S. government securities
totaling $39 million in 1993 and $29 million in 1992.

Inventories
     The cost of substantially all crude oil and refined petroleum
product inventories is determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO)
method, and the cost of remaining inventories is determined by the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.  Inventory carrying values include
material costs, labor, and indirect manufacturing expenses associated
therewith.  Materials and supplies are valued at average cost.

Property, Plant, and Equipment
     Oil and Gas - Exploration expenses, including geological and
geophysical costs, rentals, and exploratory dry holes, are charged
against income as incurred.  Costs of successful wells and related
production equipment and developmental dry holes are capitalized and
amortized on a field-wide basis using the unit-of-production method as
the oil or gas is produced.

     Undeveloped acreage costs are capitalized and amortized at rates
that provide full amortization on abandonment of unproductive leases. 
Costs of abandoned leases are charged to the accumulated amortization
accounts, and costs of productive leases are transferred to the
developed property accounts.

     Other - Property, plant, and equipment is stated at original cost
less reserves for depreciation, depletion, and amortization. 
Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, except that costs of
replacements or renewals that improve or extend the lives of existing
properties are capitalized.  Costs of nonproducing mineral acreage
surrendered or otherwise disposed of are charged to expense at the
time of disposition.  Individual properties are written down when
impairments are deemed to have occurred.

     Depreciation, Depletion, and Amortization - Property, plant, and 
equipment is depreciated, depleted, or amortized over its estimated life by
application of the unit-of-production or the straight-line method.  In
arriving at rates under the unit-of-production method, the quantities
of recoverable oil, gas, and other minerals are established based on
estimates made by the company's geologists and engineers.

     Retirements - The cost and related depreciation, depletion, and
amortization reserves are removed from the respective accounts upon
retirement or sale of property, plant, and equipment.  The resulting
gain or loss is included in other income.

     Interest Capitalized - The company capitalizes interest costs on major
projects that require a considerable length of time to complete. 
Interest capitalized in 1993, 1992, and 1991 was $20 million, $15
million, and $16 million, respectively.

Income Taxes
     Effective January 1, 1992, deferred income taxes are provided to
reflect the future tax consequences of differences between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the
financial statements.  Prior to 1992, deferred taxes were provided for
all material items of income and expense recognized in different time
periods for financial and income tax reporting purposes.  See Note 2
for a discussion of the effects of the change in the method of
accounting for income taxes.

Research and Development Costs
     Research and development costs are charged against earnings as
incurred.  Such costs totaled $19 million in 1993, $17 million in
1992, and $16 million in 1991.

<PAGE>

Site Dismantlement, Reclamation, and Remediation Costs
     The company provides for the estimated cost at current prices of
dismantling and removing oil and gas production and related
facilities.  Such costs are being accumulated over the estimated lives
of the facilities by the use of the unit-of-production method.  As
sites of environmental concern are identified, the company assesses
the existing conditions, claims, and assertions, generally related to
former operations, and records an estimated liability when
environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the
associated costs can be reasonably estimated.

Gas-Balancing Arrangements
     Gas-balancing arrangements with partners in natural gas wells are
accounted for by the entitlements method.  At December 31, 1993 and
1992, neither the quantity nor dollar amount of such arrangements
recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet was material.


Lease Commitments
     The company utilizes various leased properties in its operations,
principally for marketing facilities and buildings.  Net lease rental
expense was $16 million in 1993 and $19 million in each of the years
1992 and 1991.

     The aggregate minimum annual rentals under noncancelable leases in
effect on December 31, 1993, totaled $31 million, of which $8 million
is due in 1994, $6 million in 1995, $14 million in the period 1996
through 1998, and $3 million thereafter.

Futures Contracts
     The company periodically enters into futures contracts for
commodities to hedge a portion of its petroleum products inventories
and natural gas sales and into forward contracts for foreign
currencies to hedge specific foreign currency transactions.  The
resulting gains or losses are deferred and recognized as part of the
transactions hedged.

     At December 31, 1993, the company had foreign currency contracts
maturing between January 1994 and December 1995 to purchase for $209
million various foreign currencies (105 million British pounds
sterling and $72 million Australian).  The company had contracts to
sell for $10 million various currencies, principally European
currencies, which mature at various dates during 1994.  At year-end
1992, the company had foreign currency contracts maturing between
January 1993 and December 1995 to purchase for $243 million various
foreign currencies (147 million British pounds sterling and $16
million Australian).  The company also had contracts to sell for $7
million various currencies, principally European currencies, maturing
at various dates during 1993.  Based on financial institutions'
quotes, the net aggregate replacement cost of the contracts
outstanding at December 31, 1993 and 1992, totaled $192 million and
$221 million, respectively.

2.      Accounting Changes

     Effective January 1, 1992, the company adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" (see Note
16).  This statement requires the accrual method of accounting for
postretirement health care and life insurance benefits based on
actuarially determined costs to be recognized over the period from the
date of hire to the full eligibility date of employees who are
expected to qualify for such benefits.  The company recognized the
full amount of its accumulated postretirement benefit obligation,
which represents the present value at January 1, 1992, of the
estimated future benefits payable to current retirees and a pro rata
portion of estimated benefits payable to active employees after
retirement.  The pre-tax charge to 1992 earnings was $101 million. 
After income tax benefits, $64 million, or $1.32 per common share, was
reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Income as the cumulative
effect on prior years of changes in accounting principles.  This
change in the accounting method for postretirement health care and
life insurance benefits resulted in an after-tax incremental cost for
such benefits of $3 million, or $.06 per common share, for the year
1992.

     Also effective January 1, 1992, the company adopted FAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires an asset and liability
approach in accounting for income taxes (see Note 15).  The cumulative
effect as of January 1, 1992, of the adoption of the statement
resulted in a 1992 charge of $6 million, or $.13 per common share.  An
additional deferred tax liability of $76 million was recognized for
the differences between the assigned values and the tax bases of
assets previously acquired.  The offset to this additional liability
was an increase to property, plant, and equipment.  As the result of
the change in the method of accounting for income taxes, the 1992 net
loss was reduced by $16 million, or $.33 per common share, due to the
recognition of income tax benefits for the losses of a foreign
subsidiary and foreign currency translation gains recognized on the
higher deferred tax balances of the foreign operations.  The
additional depreciation expense resulting from the addition to
property, plant, and equipment noted above was offset by income tax
benefits.  The company elected not to restate prior years' financial
statements.

     During 1993, the company changed the grouping of its operations for
business segment reporting (see Notes 8 and 23).

35

<PAGE>

  Information related to the operations of a plant that processes off-
gases from refineries has been reclassified from the Exploration and
Production business segment to the Other segment for all periods
presented.  This operation is now the major component of the Other
segment.  Information related to crude oil and natural gas activities
also reflects the reclassification, where applicable (see Notes 24 and
25).

3.      Cash Flow Information

     Net cash provided by operating activities reflects cash payments
for interest and income taxes as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
(In millions of dollars)                                                      1993            1992             1991

</TABLE>
     The effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on cash
and cash equivalents was not material.

     During 1993, approximately $149 million of the company's 7-1/4%
convertible debentures due in 2012 was converted into the common stock
of the company.   The common stock was issued from the company's
treasury (see Note 10).  During 1992, the company added coal reserves
in a $20 million acquisition of additional leased acreage.  A portion
of the acquisition cost was paid in 1991 and 1993, and the remaining
$12 million will be paid over the next three years.  Other capital
expenditures for which payment will be made in the subsequent year
totaled $10 million, $32 million, and $10 million at year-end 1993,
1992, and 1991, respectively.  In 1991, the company received cash and
a note in exchange for the assets of the domestic drilling operation. 
The final payment of the note was received in 1993 (see Note 22).  The
noncash effects of these transactions are not reflected in the
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

     Transactions affecting the debt and deferred compensation
associated with the Employee Stock Ownership Plan are noncash
transactions and are not reflected in the Consolidated Statement of
Cash Flows (see Note 20).

4.      Notes and Accounts Receivable

     The following table summarizes notes and accounts receivable, net
of the related allowance for doubtful accounts, at year-end 1993 and
1992:

5.      Inventories

     Major categories of inventories at year-end 1993 and 1992 are as
follows:
<TABLE>

Crude oil and refined products                                                $144            $180
Chemicals and other products                                                   134             133
Materials and supplies                                                          71              72

      Total                                                                   $349            $385
</TABLE>
     Substantially all inventories of crude oil and refined petroleum
products are valued using the LIFO method.  If these inventories had
been valued at the lower of cost or market rather than on the LIFO
basis at year-end 1992, their value would have been higher by
approximately $11 million.  At year-end 1993, market prices were lower
than LIFO values, and the company recorded a $2 million charge to
income to reduce the carrying value of these inventories to market
value.  During each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1993, certain LIFO inventory quantities were reduced. 
For 1993, the effect of the reduction was to decrease net income by $5
million.  The effect of the reductions was not material in 1992 or
1991.

7.      Deferred Charges

     The cost of injected gas is deferred until sold at completion of
miscible gas flood projects.  The deferral of preoperating and startup
costs associated with new plants and facilities is generally amortized
over the first five years of operations.  Deferred charges are as
follows at year-end 1993 and 1992:

9.      Lines of Credit

     At year-end 1993, the company had available unused bank lines of
credit and revolving credit facilities of $328 million.  Of this
amount, $270 million and $51 million can be used to support commercial
paper borrowing arrangements of Kerr-McGee Credit Corporation and
Kerr-McGee Oil (U.K.) PLC, respectively.

     The company has arrangements to maintain compensating balances with
certain banks that provide credit.  At year-end 1993, the aggregate
amount of such compensating balances was not material, and the company
was not legally restricted from withdrawing all or a portion of such
balances at any time during the year.

</TABLE>
     The company's policy is to classify short-term debt (borrowings
under revolving credit facilities and commercial paper) of up to $300
million in 1993 and 1992 and $200 million in 1991 as long-term debt
since the company has the ability under certain revolving credit
agreements and the intent to maintain these obligations for longer
than one year.  Therefore, the above information excludes the
following, which has been classified as long-term debt:

</TABLE>
     The increase in the 1993 and 1992 amounts classified as long-term
was principally due to the greater use of short-term borrowings.

     During 1993, the company called its 7-1/4% convertible debentures
due June 15, 2012.  Virtually all of the debt was converted into
common stock of the company at the conversion price of $45.30 per
share.  The common stock was issued from the company's treasury.  This
conversion resulted in no gain or loss (see Notes 3 and 18).  During
1992, the company redeemed its 9-3/4% debentures due April 1, 2016. 
This early retirement resulted in an extraordinary charge of $8
million ($5 million after income taxes).

     Additional information regarding the major changes in long-term
debt during the periods and unused commitments for long-term financing
is included in the Financial Condition discussion starting on page 27
in Management's Discussion and Analysis.

     Maturities of long-term debt due after December 31, 1993, are $43
million in 1994, $78 million in 1995, $9 million in 1996, $245 million
in 1997, $17 million in 1998, and $241 million thereafter.

     Long-term debt consisted of the following at year-end 1993 and

11.     Contingencies

     Since August 1979, when the company filed a plan with the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission to decommission a former operation in West
Chicago, Illinois, a number of judicial and administrative proceedings
have been filed.  The operation, which was closed in 1973, processed
thorium ores, leaving ore residues, process buildings, and equipment
with some low-level radioactivity on site.  While a number of these
proceedings have been settled or resolved, several proceedings remain
pending, and a license to decommission has not been received. 
Currently, the State of Illinois has jurisdiction of this site and
continues to require offsite disposal of the material.

     In March 1992, the company entered into an agreement with a third
party to provide for the disposal of such waste material at a
permanent disposal facility in Utah, and the third party received a
disposal license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in 1993.  The
agreement covers an estimated 13.5 million cubic feet of thorium mill
tailings and other related materials.  Removal of the waste material
is subject to additional regulatory approvals being obtained.

     In September 1992, the Governor of Illinois signed the Uranium and
Thorium Mill Tailings Control Act, which imposes on the company,
beginning January 1, 1994, an annual fee of $2.00 per cubic foot of
byproduct material stored at the former West Chicago mill site.  The
act also provides that the assessed fee may be used as reimbursement
for removal expenses.  In February 1993, the company filed suit in the
Northern District of Illinois challenging this act on federal
constitutional grounds and seeking to enjoin state officials from
assessing such a fee. This suit is still pending.  In early 1994, the
company paid an assessed fee of $33 million under protest and filed
suit in the Cook County Circuit Court protesting the amount of the
fee, which the company believes, if any is due, should be $2 million.

     The aggregate decommissioning and relocation costs to the company
are difficult to estimate because of the many contingencies.  These
contingencies include the absence of regulatory approval of a
relocation plan.  It is presently estimated, however, that the total
remaining decommissioning costs, including the relocation costs that
may be expended pursuant to the agreement referred to above, will
approximate $150 million, payable over the time necessary to relocate
the materials, presently estimated at between four and seven years. 
The company has established reserves for offsite disposal of the
material.  The costs to the company would be reduced to the extent the
company is able to obtain reimbursement pursuant to the Energy Policy
Act of 1992 (which could be up to $40 million).  The company should
also be able to recover substantially all the amounts it pays to the
State of Illinois pursuant to the Uranium and Thorium Mill Tailings
Control Act, previously  referred to, as reimbursement of the
company's removal costs.

     Almost all of the company's plants and facilities are subject to
various environmental laws and regulations.  In addition to the West
Chicago site discussed above, the company has been notified that it
may be responsible in varying degrees for a portion of the costs to
clean up certain waste disposal sites and former plant sites.  The
total aggregate estimated cost to investigate and/or remediate all
presently identified sites of former or current operations is $443
million of which $165 million was spent through December 31, 1993. 
Reserves for future expenditures totaled $278 million at December 31,
1993.

     The company is also a party to a number of other legal proceedings
pending in various courts or agencies in which it or a subsidiary
appears as plaintiff or defendant.

     Because of continually changing environmental laws and regulations,
the nature of the company's businesses, the large number of other
potentially responsible parties, and pending legal proceedings, it is
not possible to reliably estimate the amount or timing of all future
expenditures relating to these contingencies.  The company provides
for costs related to contingencies when a loss is probable and the
amount is reasonably estimable.  Although management believes, after
consultation with general counsel, that adequate reserves have been
provided for all known contingencies, it is possible, due to the
above-noted uncertainties, additional reserves could be required in
the future that could have a material effect on results of operations
in a particular quarter or annual period.  However, the ultimate
resolution of these commitments and contingencies, to the extent not
previously provided for, should not have a material adverse effect on
the company's financial position.

     Other deferred credits and reserves consisted of the following at

</TABLE>
     During 1992, the company provided $205 million ($130 million after
income tax benefits) for environmental reclamation and remediation of
former plant sites, principally for the West Chicago, Illinois,
facility decommissioning project and former chemical and refining
operations sites.  Similar provisions in the amount of $4 million and
$11 million were made in 1993 and 1991, respectively.

13.     Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the company's
financial instruments, excluding foreign currency contracts discussed
in Note 1, at December 31, 1993 and 1992, are as follows:

</TABLE>
     The carrying amount of cash and other short-term investments
approximates fair value of those instruments due to their short
maturity.  The fair value of U.S. government obligations and equity
securities is based on quoted market prices.  The fair value of notes
receivable is based on discounted cash flows.  The fair value of the
company's long-term debt is based on the quoted market prices for the
same or similar debt issues or on the current rates offered to the
company for debt with the same remaining maturity.

     It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of financial
instruments totaling $12 million and $64 million at December 31, 1993
and 1992, respectively.  These financial instruments include
investments in untraded, closely held companies that are carried in
the Consolidated Balance Sheet at original cost of $2 million and $14
million at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.  It was not
practicable to estimate the fair value of long-term notes receivable
held in connection with the sales of discontinued operations as the
instruments are not marketable.  At December 31, 1993, one such note
was outstanding in the amount of $10 million (3.8% average 1993
interest rate).  This note matures in November 1997.  The other note
was paid in full in 1993 prior to its scheduled 1997 maturity (see
Note 22).  At December 31, 1992, these notes were carried at $40
million (3.8% average 1992 interest rate) and $10 million (4.5%
average 1992 interest rate).

15.     Income Taxes

     Effective January 1, 1992, the company adopted FAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes."  For a discussion of the effects of
this accounting change, see Note 2.  The taxation of a company that
has operations in several countries involves many complex variables,
such as differing tax structures from country to country and the
effect on U.S. taxation of international earnings.  These complexities
do not permit meaningful comparisons between the domestic and
international components of income before income taxes and the
provision for income taxes, and disclosures of these components do not
provide indicators of relationships in future periods.

     Income (loss) before income taxes, extraordinary charge, and
cumulative effect on prior years of changes in accounting principles
is composed of the following:

     During 1993, legislation was enacted that, among other things,
increased the U.S. Federal income tax rate by 1% effective January 1,
1993.  Separately, income tax rates in Australia were reduced from 39%
to 33%.  The deferred income tax balances were adjusted to reflect
these new rates, which increased the 1993 U.S. Federal deferred
provision by $2 million and decreased the international deferred
benefit by $3 million.  The provision (benefit) for income taxes on
income (loss) before extraordinary charge and cumulative effect on
prior years of changes in accounting principles for 1993, 1992, and
1991 is summarized below:

16.     Postretirement Benefits

     The company sponsors contributory plans to provide certain health
care and life insurance benefits for retired employees.  Substantially
all the company's employees may become eligible for these benefits if
they reach retirement age while working for the company.  Effective
January 1, 1992, the company adopted FAS No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions."  See Note
2 for a discussion of the effects of the adoption of this standard.

     At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the actuarial and recorded
liabilities for postretirement benefits, none of which has been
funded, are as follows:

</TABLE>

     In prior years, the company recognized as expense the cost of
retiree health care benefits as claims were paid, while the cost of
providing life insurance benefits was recognized by expensing the
annual insurance premiums paid.  The amount included in expense for
1991 under the previous accounting method was $5 million.

     The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 1993,
was 12% in 1994, gradually declining to 4.5% in the year 2008 and
thereafter.  The assumed trend rate used in measuring the year-end
1992 obligation was 13% in 1993, gradually declining to 5.5% in the
year 2006 and thereafter.  The rate of increase in future compensation
levels used in measuring the life insurance accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation was 5% and 6% at December 31, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.  The weighted average discount rate used in determining
both the health care and life insurance accumulated postretirement
benefit obligations was 7.5% at December 31, 1993, and 8.5% at
December 31, 1992.

     A 1% increase in the assumed health care cost trend rates for each
future year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation by $10 million at December 31, 1993, and $18 million at
December 31, 1992.  Additionally, the aggregate of the service and
interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost
for the year ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, would increase by $1
million and $2 million, respectively, as a result of a 1% assumed
increase.

17.     Retirement Plans

     Most of the company's employees are covered under noncontributory
retirement plans of the company and certain of its subsidiaries.  The
benefits of these plans are based primarily on years of service and
employees' remuneration near retirement.  The company's policy is to
fund the minimum amounts as permitted by the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974.  The company also sponsors supplemental
retirement plans to provide employees with benefits provided for by
the plans but in excess of the limits under the Federal tax law and to
provide senior executives with benefits equal to a specified
percentage of their final average compensation.

     The funded status of the plans with assets in excess of accumulated
benefits at December 31, 1993 and 1992, is as follows:

     The company has 40 million shares of preferred stock without par
value authorized, and none is issued.

     Treasury stock totaling 1,100 shares, 33,350 shares, and 28,325
shares was issued as restricted stock to certain employees during
1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively.  The restrictions on these shares
lapse three years from the date of issue.  The remaining restrictions
on 16,062 shares issued in 1988 lapsed in 1991.

     In 1986, the company's Board of Directors adopted a
stockholder-rights plan, which was subsequently amended and restated
as of July 11, 1989.  Such rights were distributed as a dividend at
the rate of one right for each share of the company's common stock. 
Generally, the rights may be redeemed at $.05 per right 10 days after
a person or group acquires 15% or more of the company's common stock. 
After the rights are no longer redeemable, each right would then
entitle the holder (other than a 15% holder) to buy the company's
common stock having a market value of twice the exercise price of $85. 
In the event the company is acquired in a merger or other business
combination transaction, each right would entitle the holder to buy,
at the exercise price of $85, the number of shares of the acquiring
company's common stock having a market value of twice the right's
exercise price.  Unless redeemed earlier, the rights expire in 1996.

19.     Employee Stock Option Plans

     As amended in May 1992, the 1987 Long Term Incentive Program
authorized the issuance of 1,790,000 shares of the company's common
stock through December 31, 2002, in the form of stock options,
restricted stock, or long-term performance awards.  The options may be
accompanied by stock appreciation rights.

     The 1984 and the 1978 Employee Stock Option Plans authorized the
granting of options over 10-year periods for up to 1,000,000 and
800,000 shares, respectively, of common stock and accompanying stock
appreciation rights.  The 1984 plan was terminated on May 3, 1988, and
the 1978 plan was terminated on May 1, 1984.  After those dates, no
further options could be granted under either plan, although options
and any accompanying stock appreciation rights outstanding at those
times can be exercised prior to their respective expiration dates.

    Transactions during the past three years under these plans are
summarized below:

20.     Employee Stock Ownership Plan

     In 1989, the company's Board of Directors approved a leveraged
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) into which is paid the company's
matching contribution for the employees' contributions to the
Kerr-McGee Corporation Savings Investment Plan (SIP).  Subsequently,
the ESOP borrowed $125 million from a group of lending institutions
and used the borrowings to purchase 2.7 million shares of the
company's treasury stock at $46.63 per share.  The company used the
$125 million proceeds from the sale of stock to reacquire shares of
its common stock on the open market and in privately negotiated
transactions.

     The company has guaranteed the ESOP's borrowings.  The borrowings,
which are reflected as Long-Term Debt in the Consolidated Balance
Sheet, are offset by a like amount of deferred compensation in
Stockholders' Equity.  As company contributions and dividends on the
shares held by the ESOP are used to make principal and interest
payments on the loan, shares are allocated to employees' accounts
based on their savings contributions to the SIP.  Both the long-term
debt and the deferred compensation in Stockholders' Equity are reduced
in equal amounts as the ESOP loan is repaid.

     The company recognized ESOP-related expense of $15 million in each
of the years 1993 and 1992 and $16 million in 1991.  These amounts
include interest expense incurred on the ESOP debt of $9 million in
1993, $10 million in 1992, and $10 million in 1991.  The company
contributed $12 million cash to the ESOP in 1993, $14 million in 1992,
and $15 million in 1991.  The cash contributions are net of $4 million
for the dividends paid on the company stock held by the ESOP in each
of the years 1993, 1992, and 1991.

     During 1990, the company disposed of its contract drilling
operations, which had been conducted by the Transworld Drilling
companies.  The sale of the domestic assets was completed in January
1991, and Kerr-McGee received cash and a $70 million note.  The terms
of this note were subsequently modified in a late-1991 debt
restructuring.  During 1993, the note was paid in full prior to its
scheduled 1997 maturity.  At year-end 1992, the company's investment
in the note, classified as Investments and Other Assets in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet, was $40 million, which included $1 million
of accrued interest income.  Additional interest income of $2 million
would have been recorded under the original terms of the note in 1992.

27.     Crude Oil, Condensate, and Natural Gas Net Reserves (Unaudited)

     The estimates of proved reserves have been prepared by the
company's geologists and engineers.  Such estimates include reserves
on certain properties that are partially undeveloped and reserves that
may be obtained in the future by secondary recovery operations now in
operation or for which successful testing has been demonstrated.  The
company does not have any proved reserves attributable to long-term
supply agreements with governments, consolidated subsidiaries in which
there are significant minority interests, or affiliates accounted for
by the equity method.

     The following table summarizes the changes in the estimated
quantities of the company's crude oil and condensate and natural gas
reserves for the three years ended December 31, 1993:

28.     Standardized Measure of and Reconciliation of Changes in
        Discounted Future Net Cash Flows (Unaudited)

     The standardized measure of future net cash flows presented in the
following table was computed using year-end prices and costs and a 10%
discount factor.  The future income tax expense was computed by
applying the appropriate year-end statutory rates, with consideration
of future tax rates already legislated, to the future pre-tax net cash
flows less the tax basis of the properties involved.  However, the
company cautions that actual future net cash flows may vary
considerably from these estimates.  Although the company's estimates
as to total reserves, development, and production rates were based
upon the best information available, the development and production of
the oil and gas reserves may not occur in the periods assumed.  Actual
prices realized and costs incurred may vary significantly from those
used.  Therefore, such estimated future net cash flow computations
should not be considered to represent the company's estimate of the
expected revenues or the current value of existing proved reserves.

29.     Supplementary Mineral Ore Reserve and Price Data (Unaudited)

     The following table represents selected statistics related to the
company's mineral operations.  Mineral reserves presented in the
following table represent those estimated quantities of proved and
probable ore that, under presently anticipated conditions, may be
profitably recovered and processed for the extraction of their mineral
