                  REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Kerr-McGee Corporation Benefits Committee,

      Kerr-McGee Corporation:

      We have audited the accompanying Statements of Net Assets
Available for Plan Benefits of the KERR-McGEE CORPORATION
SAVINGS INVESTMENT PLAN (the Plan) as of December 31, 1993
and 1992, and the related Statement of Changes in Net Assets
Available for Plan Benefits for the year ended December 31, 1993.
These financial statements and the schedules referred to below are
the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules
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 net assets available for plan
benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the
changes in its net assets available for plan benefits for the year
ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

      Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental
Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes as of December 31,
1993, and Schedule of Reportable Transactions for the year ended
December 31, 1993, are presented for purposes of additional analysis
and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's
Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  Such schedules
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated
in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

                         DECEMBER 31, 1993 AND 1992


(1)  DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

     General -

     The Kerr-McGee Corporation Savings Investment Plan (the Plan)
     is a defined contribution plan in which eligible employees of
     Kerr-McGee Corporation and its affiliated companies (collectively
     referred to as the Company) may participate.  The Plan and the
     Trust established thereunder (the Trust) were executed on
     September 26, 1975, and became fully effective on January 1,
     1976.

     Effective September 1, 1984, the Plan was amended and
     restated, principally to allow participants to defer taxable earnings
     through contributions to the Plan as provided for under Section
     401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), to establish the
     Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the ESOP Program) as a part
     of the Plan, and to allow participants to borrow from their
     accounts within the Plan.  The Company ceased contributions to
     the ESOP Program after repeal of the income tax credit by the
     Tax Reform Act of 1986, and the Savings Investment Plan ESOP
     Program shares were distributed to participants.

     Effective January 1, 1988, the Plan was amended and restated
     for participants not involved in collective bargaining agreements,
     principally to add three investment fund options and to provide
     for vesting of the participants' share of Company contributions on
     the basis of 20% for each completed year of vesting service.
     Vesting service is completed years of Company service reduced
     in certain limited situations as defined by the Plan.

     Effective January 1, 1990, the Plan was amended and restated
     principally to allow employer matching contributions to be made
     to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), which was
     established in September 1989.  The amendment applies only to
     participants who are not members of collective bargaining units
     and provides that all matching contributions are made to the
     ESOP and are invested in Kerr-McGee Corporation common
     stock.  The ESOP is not part of the Plan; therefore, the employer
     contributions to the ESOP and the ESOP assets and earnings
     are not included in the Plan's accompanying financial statements.
     The amendment also increased the maximum Company
     matching contribution to 6% of salary, increased the maximum
     employee contribution to 15% of salary, and allowed employees
     to participate in the Plan from their initial date of employment.

     The participants' contributions to the Plan and earnings thereon
     are fully vested at all times.  After the January 1, 1988,
     amendment, the participants' share of the Company contributions
     and earnings thereon vest on the basis of 20% for each
     completed year of service.  Company contributions are fully
     vested in the event of retirement, death, or disability. Forfeitures
     may be used to reduce Company contributions or to pay
     expenses of administration.

     The Plan or any portion thereof may be discontinued by the
     Board of Directors of the Company.  In the event of such
     discontinuance or other termination of the Plan, each participant
     shall be fully vested.

     The Plan is administered by the Kerr-McGee Corporation Benefits
     Committee (the Committee), which is appointed by the Board of
     Directors of the Company.  Accounting and administration for the
     Plan are provided by the Company at no cost to the Plan.  In
     addition, all expenses of the Trust are borne by the Company.

     The following is a description of the funds and the number of
     participants in each of these funds at December 31, 1993 and
     1992:

     Effective January 1, 1993, the Guaranteed Investment Contract
     Fund was renamed the Interest Income Fund.  Prior to December
     1992, holdings in this fund consisted of guaranteed investment
     contracts issued by insurance companies.  Since December
     1992, funds from maturing contracts and contribu- tions are
     invested in a managed income portfolio consisting of a
     commingled pool of investment contracts issued by insurance
     companies and other approved institutions.

     The U.S. Government Securities Fund, Interest Income Fund,
     Equity Growth Fund, and Equity Income Fund are entirely
     participant-directed.  The Kerr-McGee Stock Fund consists of
     both participant-directed investments and Company matching
     contributions as follows:

                     SMART and CAPITAL Savings Programs -

                     Since the amendment of September 1, 1984,
                     participants who are not members of collective
                     bargaining units participate in the Plan under the
                     SMART and CAPITAL Savings Programs.  This
                     encompasses most of the participants in the Plan.

                     These participants may direct their savings, up to
                     a maximum of 15% of salary, to be invested
                     among one or more of Funds A through E in 1%
                     increments.  Since the amendment of January 1,
                     1990, the Company matches the participant's
                     contribution to the Plan, limited to 6% of the
                     participant's salary.  All Company contributions are
                     made to the ESOP and invested in Kerr-McGee
                     Corporation common stock.

                     Contributions to the SMART Savings Program are
                     from a participant's salary, before income taxes.
                     The participant's income taxes on the pre-tax
                     contributions are deferred until the contributions
                     are distributed after termination or at the time of
                     hardship withdrawal.  The annual SMART Savings
                     Program contribution limitation is subject to annual
                     adjustments for inflation and was $8,994 for 1993
                     in accordance with the Code.  Participant
                     contributions in excess of this amount are
                     considered to be contributions to the CAPITAL
                     Savings Program.

                     Contributions to the CAPITAL Savings Program
                     are from a participant's salary, after income taxes.
                     If a participant has authorized less than 15% of his
                     salary to be contributed to the SMART Savings
                     Program, he may contribute the remaining whole
                     percentages up to 15% to the CAPITAL Savings
                     Program.  Participant contributions may be
                     invested in the same proportions and the same
                     funds as outlined above for the SMART Savings
                     Program.  The maximum contributions allowed to
                     each program may be limited for highly
                     compensated employees, depending upon the
                     balance of contributions at all pay levels.

                     For employees who are members of collective
                     bargaining units whose agreements provide for
                     participation in the Plan under the terms and
                     conditions in effect subsequent to January 1,
                     1988, the Company matches the participant's
                     contribution to the Plan, limited to 3% of the
                     participant's salary.  All matching contributions are
                     deposited in Fund A and invested in Kerr-McGee
                     Corporation common stock.  These participants
                     may contribute up to 15% of their salary to either
                     the SMART or CAPITAL Savings Program.

                     A participant may borrow from the Plan against his
                     contributions to the SMART and CAPITAL Savings
                     Programs and against his vested interest in
                     Company contributions.  By administrative rule
                     established by the Committee, effective April 1,
                     1990, new loans to participants bear interest at a
                     fixed rate equal to the national average interest
                     rate for five-year certificates of deposit (as
                     published in The Wall Street Journal), plus 1.5%.
                     Such interest is credited to the participant's
                     accounts in the Plan when repaid.  The average
                     interest rate for new loans, which is adjusted
                     quarterly, was 6.5% for 1993.  The minimum loan
                     amount, determined periodically by the
                     Committee, is currently $1,000.  The maximum
                     amount of all loans to a participant under the Plan
                     and any other plans of any employer may not
                     exceed the lesser of (a) $50,000, reduced by an
                     amount equal to the difference between (i) the
                     participant's highest loan balance under the Plan
                     during the one-year period ending on the day
                     before the date on which such loan is made and
                     (ii) the  outstanding loan balance of the participant
                     under the Plan on the date on which such loan
                     was made or (b) one-half the current  value of the
                     participant's vested interest in his accounts.
                     Loans must be repaid within five years, with
                     certain special provisions available for military
                     reservists called to active duty.  In the event of a
                     participant's termination of employment and
                     subsequent default on the loan, any outstanding
                     balance will be considered a withdrawal and will
                     be taxable to the participant as prescribed by the
                     Code.

                     Regular Savings Program -

                     The Regular Savings Program is a continuation of
                     the Plan as it existed prior to the September 1,
                     1984, amendment. It is for those participants who
                     are members of collective bargaining units whose
                     agreements provide for participation in the Plan
                     under the terms and conditions in effect
                     immediately prior to September 1, 1984.

                     Under the provisions of the Plan, a Regular
                     Savings Program participant may contribute up to
                     10% of his salary to the Plan and may direct that
                     his contributions be entirely deposited in Fund A
                     or Fund B or allocated between Fund A and Fund
                     B.  The Company contributes amounts equal to
                     one-half of the participant's contributions, limited
                     to 3% of the participant's salary.  The Company
                     contributions are all deposited in Fund A and
                     invested in common stock of Kerr-McGee
                     Corporation.

                     A Regular Savings Program participant may
                     withdraw his contributions to the program at any
                     time, together with earnings credited thereto.  The
                     vested interest in the Company contributions may
                     be withdrawn, except that a participant who has
                     not been a participant for at least five years may
                     not make withdrawals in excess of the
                     contributions (and related earnings) made by the
                     Company to such account two or more years prior
                     to the withdrawal date.

(2)                  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

                     The accompanying financial statements have been
                     prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
                     Investments are accounted for on the market value
                     basis, except for the guaranteed investment
                     contracts issued by insurance companies in the
                     Interest Income Fund, which are accounted for at
                     contract value.  Payments to terminating and
                     withdrawing participants are accounted for on the
                     market value basis.

(3)                  TAX STATUS

                     The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on
                     March 17, 1992, in which the Internal Revenue
                     Service stated that the Plan and Trust qualify
                     under Section 401(a) and are entitled to
                     exemption from Federal income taxes under
                     Section 501(a) of the Code.

                     Participants on whose behalf Company
                     contributions are made are not taxed on the
                     amounts contributed by the Company or on any
                     income earned thereon until the receipt of a
                     distribution pursuant to the terms of the Plan.  The
                     taxation of income earned on assets of the Plan
                     attributable to participants' contributions to the
                     Plan as well as contributions to the SMART
                     Savings Program is also deferred until distributed.
                     Federal income taxes applicable to participants or
                     their beneficiaries upon distribution are prescribed
                     by the Code.

(4)                  DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTICIPANTS

                     Distributions to participants are recorded at the
                     approximate market value as of the date of
                     distribution.  Nonvested Company contributions
                     are forfeited upon termination of employment
                     (unless termination occurs because of retirement,
                     disability, death, or in certain circumstances when
                     the Company deems the contributions to be fully
                     vested), except that if the participant is re-
                     employed within a specified period such amounts
                     are re-allocated to the employee.

                     Forfeitures are reflected as reductions of Company
                     contributions in the period in which they reduce
                     such contributions.  Forfeitures may be re-
                     allocated to terminated employees upon their re-
                     employment, in which case the Company will fund
                     such re-allocated amounts.

                     Terminating participants with more than $3,500 in
                     the Plan may defer distribution until age 70-1/2.
                     Investments relating to these participants remain
                     in the Trust until the terminated participant
                     requests distribution.  Participants who defer
                     distribution continue to share in earnings and
                     losses of the Plan.  Accordingly, investment
                     earnings or losses and net changes in the market
                     value of the investments subsequent to deferral
                     are included in total additions and offset in
                     distributions to terminating and withdrawing
                     participants in the Statement of Changes in Net
                     Assets Available for Plan Benefits. At December
                     31, 1993 and 1992, payables to terminating and
                     withdrawing participants in the Statement of Net
                     Assets Available for Plan Benefits included
                     $8,957,000 and $7,750,000, respectively,
                     applicable to the deferred distributions.
