The Administrative Committee of Molycorp Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings
Plan:

     We  have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition  of
the  Molycorp  Inc.  401(k) Retirement Savings  Plan  (the  "Plan")  as  of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statement of income and changes
in plan equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1993.  These  financial  statements are the responsibility  of  the  Plan'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 condition of the Plan as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of its transactions for each of
the  three years in the period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

               MOLYCORP INC. 401(k) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

GENERAL

THE PLAN

     The  Molycorp  Inc.  401(k) Retirement Savings Plan  (the  "Plan")  is
sponsored  by  Molycorp  Inc.  (the "Company"),  an  indirect  wholly-owned
subsidiary  of  Unocal  Corporation.   The  Plan  provides  for   voluntary
contributions  by Members.  The Plan was effective as of January  1,  1991.
Each  individual  participant is allowed to  choose  how  their  funds  are
invested.  The funds contributed may be invested in a guaranteed investment
contract  ("GIC")  fund,  Fidelity Puritan Mutual Fund  (Fidelity),  common
stock  of  Unocal  Corporation (Unocal Stock), or any  combination  of  the
above.   All  funds remain with  the Trustee for the exclusive  benefit  of
Plan  participants  until  distributed  to  Members  after  termination  of
employment.   The  Plan is subject to certain provisions  of  the  Employee
Retirement  Income  Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) as a defined  contribution
plan.

     Voluntary Member contributions to the Plan are made on a pre-tax basis
and cannot exceed  15% of an employee's base pay.

     Other information regarding the Plan can be found in the Molycorp Inc.
401(k) Retirement Savings Plan booklet dated April 1, 1991.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

     The  Plan  meets  the requirements of Section 401(a) of  the  Internal
Revenue  Code  of  1986,  as amended (the "Code").  The  Trust  established
thereunder  is  entitled  to exemption under the provisions  of  the  Code;
therefore,  the  Plan  is  not required to pay any  federal  income  taxes.
Earnings  of the Plan will not be taxable to Members prior to a  withdrawal
from the Plan.

PLAN TERMINATION

     The  Company expects to continue the Plan indefinitely but, as  future
conditions cannot be foreseen, the Company may at any time or from time  to
time  amend  or  terminate  the  Plan in whole  or  part,  subject  to  the
requirements of ERISA and other applicable laws.  An amendment  may  affect
present as well as future Members, but may not diminish the account of  any
Member  existing on the effective date of such amendment.  The Company  has
no present intent to terminate the Plan.


OTHER

     In  the  Statement  of  Income and Changes in  Plan  Equity,  the  net
appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of Plan investments  consists
of  the realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
on those investments.

     Member contributions also include an insignificant amount of transfers
between funds in addition to amounts paid into the Plan by Members.

to market fluctuations.
