 99.    Mobil Corporation,                   Electronic 
        News Release dated
        January 22, 1996



                                                  Exhibit 99


Fairfax, VA, January 22, 1996 -- Mobil Corporation today reported
estimated fourth quarter 1995 operating income of $760 million, up
$105 million from the comparable period of 1994.  Estimated full
year 1995 operating income of $2,846 million was up $615 million
from the prior year and was a record for operating income,
exceeding the previous record of $2,331 million, which was set in
1980 when crude oil prices were about $35 per barrel, twice the
current level.

Net special charges included in 1995 totaled $470 million.  The net
special charges included: (a) charges of $590 million for various
worldwide restructuring initiatives;
(b) non-cash charges of $487 million resulting from the adoption of
FAS 121, the new accounting standard for Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets; partially offset by (c) net benefits of $607 million,
mainly on sales of certain Chemical and Mining assets, and a
favorable litigation settlement.  These net special charges reduced
1995 reported net income to $2,376 million.  Full year
1994 reported net income was $1,079 million,  which included net
special charges of $472 million, primarily for property writedowns
and restructuring, and a non-cash charge of $680 million for the
change in accounting principle related to inventories.  Estimated
reported earnings per common share for full year 1995 were $5.87
compared with $4.28 for full year 1994 (excluding the $680 million
non-cash charge in 1994 for the change in accounting principle
related to inventories).

"Compared with 1994, Mobils operating income of $2,846 million
improved by $615 million, or 28%," said Lucio A. Noto, Mobils
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  "In total, Mobil had no net
help from petroleum and petrochemical commodity prices.  The impact
of higher crude oil prices and petrochemical margins was offset by
weakness in North American natural gas prices and
worldwide refining margins.  In spite of these business conditions,
all operating segments contributed to the improvement.  Mobil
benefitted from strong operating performance, particularly at our
refineries, and from initiatives throughout the company which
reduced costs and increased sales volumes."

Controllable cash operating expenses were reduced by more than $300
million pre-tax versus 1994, and have been reduced by over $1.1
billion since 1991.  This was achieved even though costs were up
more than $1.5 billion due to higher volumes, new facilities, and
inflation.  Compared with last year, refinery throughput was up 2%
and worldwide petroleum product sales volumes were up 4%.  Somewhat
offsetting these favorable factors, oil and gas production was 4%
lower, reflecting asset sales, natural decline in the U.S., and
temporary operating disruptions in Nigeria.

"In 1995, major steps were taken to further improve returns from
existing assets and to profitably grow the business," said Noto. 
"The realignment of worldwide staff support services and
restructuring programs in the U.S. and European downstream are on
track.  In addition, we recently announced a further restructuring
in the U.S. upstream to improve competitiveness and
identify additional non-core properties which will be efficiently
depleted, traded, or sold.  Operating expense savings from these
programs are expected to ramp up during 1996.  By year-end 1996, we
should be in a position to realize projected annual pre-tax savings
of more than $1 billion from these programs."

Mobil has also continued to sell non-core businesses that are worth
more to others, and in 1995 received cash estimated at $2 billion,
primarily from the sale of Mobil Chemicals Plastics Division and
Mining and Minerals South Fort Meade phosphate mine.  As a result,
Mobils year-end debt-to-capitalization ratio declined to 27%.  This
level is expected to rise as Mobil increases investment spending to
take advantage of the many attractive opportunities for growth in
the company's core businesses, which could include acquisitions.

Mobil also advanced several large projects in 1995 that are
expected to generate earnings and cash flow growth in the future. 
In the upstream sector, these include the liquefied natural gas
(LNG) projects in Qatar, the Hibernia oil development off the east
coast of Canada, a natural gas liquids (NGL) recovery project in
Nigeria, and the first phase development of oil
discoveries in Equatorial Guinea.  In the downstream sector,
construction is progressing on refinery upgrading projects in
Australia and Japan, and new market entries were made in Latin
America.  Consistent with our goal of being number one in lubes,
Mobil is constructing a second lube base stock refinery
in Saudi Arabia and is progressing a lube base stock facility at
our Singapore refinery.  The company is also advancing several lube
blend plant projects around the world.  In Chemical, Mobil is
expanding its worldwide paraxylene capacity to take advantage of
strong growth in the Pacific Rim.  Mobil is also expanding ethylene
capacity at Beaumont, Texas to improve the scale and
competitiveness of that facility, and is developing a major
expansion of its joint venture petrochemical complex in Saudi
Arabia.

"The variability of commodity prices in 1995 underscores the fact
that business conditions are likely to remain volatile and
unpredictable," said Noto.  "However, in this environment, Mobil
continues to position itself to provide superior returns to its
shareholders through cost control, initiatives, and profitable
growth."  Mr. Noto concluded, "1995 was a particularly difficult
year for our employees as numerous restructuring initiatives were
actively progressed to ensure we remain competitive over the
long haul.  In spite of these activities and no net help from
industry fundamentals, our employees met the challenge and
delivered record earnings."

                  COMPARISON OF FULL YEAR 1995 WITH 1994

The following comments address the operating performance of the
major business segments during 1995, as compared with 1994:

o   Exploration and Producing income of $1,393 million was $69
    million higher.  In the United States, income was $332 million,
    $26 million higher.  Higher crude oil prices, lower exploration
    expenses, and reduced capital recovery charges more than offset
    lower natural gas prices and lower production, which mainly
    resulted from asset sales and natural field declines.

     International income of $1,061 million was $43 million    
     higher.  Higher prices for crude oil and Indonesian LNG more
     than offset higher operating expenses in new growth areas,
     lower production volumes, and lower natural gas prices in
     Canada and the U.K.  In addition, exploration expenses were
     lower as a result of improved drilling success and the
     timing of well completions.

o    Marketing and Refining income of $1,142 million was $178  
     million higher.  Income in the United States was $333
     million, $60 million higher.  Benefits from business
     initiatives, including lower expenses, higher sales volumes,
     improved lube income, and excellent refinery performance
     offset weaker business conditions.

     International income was $809 million, $118 million higher.    
     More than offsetting generally weak refining margins and
     lower marketing margins, especially in Japan, were lower
     expenses in Europe and Australia, benefits from ongoing
     business initiatives, higher sales volumes, particularly in
     the rapidly growing Pacific Rim countries, higher lube
     income, and the benefit of the Singapore refinery upgrade.

o    Chemicals record income of $679 million was $455 million
     higher.  Petrochemical income improved significantly as a
     result of higher worldwide polyethylene and paraxylene
     margins.  Our petrochemical joint venture in Saudi Arabia,
     in the final year of its tax holiday, contributed
     substantially to the improvement.  Increased volumes from
     the Singapore aromatics complex also boosted income.     
     Additionally, income from the OPP films business was higher,
     resulting from lower expenses and other benefits from
     business initiatives.

o    Corporate and Other expense of $73 million was $1 million
     higher, as increased real estate income and lower expenses
     were offset by one-time costs associated with the staff
     support services realignment.



<PAGE>
                             - 4 -

o    Net Financing Expense of $295 million was $86 million
     higher, mainly reflecting higher average effective interest
     rates this year, and the absence of certain favorable
     non-recurring items reported in last years results.


           COMPARISON OF 4TH QUARTER 1995 WITH 4TH QUARTER 1994

Mobil's estimated fourth quarter 1995 operating income was $760
million, up $105 million, or 16%, from fourth quarter 1994.  Net
special benefits this quarter were $15 million, including gains on
asset sales of $598 million (mainly from Mobil Chemicals Plastics
Division and Mining & Minerals South Fort Meade phosphate rock
mine), non-cash charges of $487 million for asset impairments
resulting from the adoption of FAS 121, and other net charges
of $96 million, mainly for further restructuring in North American
E&P and European lubricant blending.  The net special benefits
increased this year's fourth quarter net income to $775 million.
Fourth quarter 1994 net income was $523 million and included net
special charges of $132 million.  The following comments address
the operating performance of the major business segments during
the fourth quarter versus the same quarter last year:

o    Exploration and Producing income of $339 million was $6
     million lower.  In the United States, income of $95 million
     was $37 million higher, as the impact of higher natural gas
     prices, lower exploration expenses, and reduced capital
     recovery charges were partly offset by lower production
     volumes.  International income was $244 million, down $43
     million.  The impacts of lower production volumes, lower
     natural gas prices in Canada and the U.K., and higher
     expenses in new growth areas were partly offset
     by higher liquids prices and lower exploration expenses.

o    Marketing and Refining income of $379 million was $109
     million higher.  In the United States, income was $98
     million, up $44 million.  Ongoing business initiatives
     resulted in lower operating expenses, improved
     refinery performance, higher sales volumes, and increased
     lube income, which more than offset weaker business
     conditions.  International income of $281 million was $65
     million higher, reflecting higher refining margins in all
     enclaves, lower operating expenses, particularly in
     Europe and Australia, and the benefits of the Singapore
     refinery upgrade.

o    Chemical income of $140 million was up $30 million, as
     higher volumes, better paraxylene margins, and business
     initiatives more than offset lower polyethylene margins.

o    Net Financing Expense of $80 million was $26 million higher,
     principally due to higher average effective interest rates
     and the absence of certain favorable non-recurring items
     reported in the fourth quarter of 1994.

Capital and Exploration Expenditures for the fourth quarter of 1995
were estimated at $1,371 million, an increase of $212 million from
the comparable period last year.  For full year 1995, worldwide
capital and exploration expenditures were estimated at $4,268
million, compared with $3,825 million for full year 1994.

Mobil's estimated Return on Average Shareholders' Equity for the
twelve months ended December 31, 1995 was 13.5%, compared with
10.4% for 1994 (excluding the cumulative effect of the change in
accounting principle).  Estimated Return on Average Capital
Employed for the twelve months ended December 31, 1995 was
11.0%, compared with 8.4% for 1994 (excluding the cumulative effect
of the change in accounting principle).

Mobil's estimated Debt to Capitalization Ratio was 27% at December
31, 1995 and 31% at December 31, 1994.

Common Stock Dividends were $.925 per share in the fourth quarter
of 1995, $.075 per share higher than the comparable quarter of
1994.  Full year 1995 common stock dividends of $3.625 per share
were $.225 higher than full year 1994.
