                      QUARTERLY REPORT PURSUANT TO RULE 58
               For the Quarterly Period Ending September 30, 1998

                  10 Lafayette Square, Buffalo, New York 14203


         This  Amendment  No. 1 to  National  Fuel  Gas  Company's  Form  U-9C-3
Quarterly  Report for the period  ended  September  30, 1998 is being filed as a
result of the following: In May of 1998, Seneca Resources Corporation,  a direct
wholly-owned  subsidiary of National Fuel Gas Company,  acquired  HarCor Energy,
Inc.  ("HarCor") under the authority of Rule 58 (17 CFR Sec.  250.58).  National
Fuel Gas Company inadvertently failed to include information regarding HarCor in
its Form  U-9C-3  Quarterly  Report  for the  periods  ended  June 30,  1998 and
September 30, 1998. Accordingly,  this report amends National Fuel Gas Company's
original Form U-9C-3 Quarterly Report for the period ended September 30, 1998 as
set forth below.

1.  "Item 1 - Organization Chart" is amended to include:

                              Energy or     Date of        State of
    Name of Reporting Co.     Gas Related   Organization   Organization

        Corporation

    b.  HarCor Energy, Inc.   Gas           1976           Delaware

    a.     100%              An oil and gas exploration and production company
                             listed here solely because it holds a 100% interest
                             in HarCor Energy, Inc. which was acquired
                             pursuant to Rule 58.

    b.     100%              An oil and gas company which produces natural gas
                             and higher gravity oil.

2.  The Narrative Description to "Item 1 - Organization Chart" is amended to
    include:

    In May of 1998, Seneca Resources Corporation ("Seneca"), a wholly-owned
    subsidiary  of National  Fuel Gas Company,  acquired a 100% interest in
    HarCor  Energy,  Inc.  ("HarCor"),  an  oil  and  gas  exploration  and
    production  company  which  qualifies  as a  "gas-related  company" for
    purposes  of  Rule  58.  Seneca  is not a  "reporting  company"  but is
    included in this Item 1 because it  directly  holds  voting  securities
    issues by HarCor, a reporting company.

3.  Part 2 of "Item 3 - Associate Transactions" is amended to include:
