Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect
         ---------------------------------------------------------------------
to Securities of the Issuer.
- --------------------------- 

     FAE extended a "Standstill Agreement", originally dated September 1, 1989,
until January 4, 1998.  Such agreement provides the executive management and
Board of McFarland Energy certain assurances, voluntary restrictions on
purchasing or selling Shares of McFarland and voting limitations intended to
keep FAE in the position of a friendly investor that supports the incumbent
management's views.  The Standstill Agreement originally applied to all 400,000
Shares of McFarland owned by FAEH and its subsidiaries.  During February 1997,
McFarland Energy removed the Standstill Agreement restrictions on 100,000 Shares
of McFarland which provided FAEH and its subsidiaries with the opportunity to
sell up to 100,000 Shares of McFarland.
