               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               (Unaudited)

(1)   The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited
      and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments
      necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results
      of operations.  All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature,
      except for items discussed in Note 3.  Such financial statements
      are presented in accordance with the Securities and Exchange
      Commission's disclosure requirements for Form 10-Q.

      These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in
      conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the
      Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements filed with the
      Commission in Unocal Corporation's 1993 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

      Results for the three months ended March 31, 1994, are not
      necessarily indicative of future financial results.

(2)   For the purpose of this report, Unocal Corporation and its
      consolidated subsidiary, Union Oil Company of California (Union
      Oil), will be referred to as "Unocal" or "the company".

(3)   1993 Accounting Changes:

      (a)Effective January 1, 1993, the company adopted Statement of
          Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, "Employers'
          Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions."
          This new accounting standard requires the company to recognize
          its obligation to provide postretirement health care benefits
          and to accrue such costs rather than recording them on a cash
          basis.  The actuarial present value of the accumulated
          postretirement health care obligation existing at January 1,
          1993 was recognized in the Consolidated Earnings Statement as a
          cumulative effect of an accounting change, resulting in a
          charge to the first quarter 1993 earnings of $192 million
          before tax ($121 million after tax or 50 cents per common
          share).

      (b) The company also adopted SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting
          for Postemployment Benefits," effective January 1, 1993.  This
          statement requires the company to recognize its obligation to
          provide benefits, such as workers' compensation and disabled
          employees' medical care, to former or inactive employees after
          employment but before retirement.  The charge to earnings for
          the cumulative effect of the company's unfunded obligation
          prior to 1993, was $14 million before tax ($9 million after tax
          or 4 cents per common share).

(4)   Capitalized interest totaled $9 million and $7 million for the
      first quarter of 1994 and 1993, respectively.

(5)   Between March 24, and April 27, 1994, Unocal issued $179 million in
      Medium Term Notes with interest rates ranging from 6.33% to 7.24%
      and maturity dates ranging from February 1997 to March 2001.  The
      proceeds were used to refinance maturing and callable debt.

(6)   Certain items in the prior year financial statements have been
      reclassified to conform to the 1994 presentation.

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
              FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Unocal's net earnings for the first quarter of 1994 were $54 million, or
19 cents per common share, compared with $11 million in the first quarter
of 1993, or one cent per common share.  The comparability of the
company's reported earnings for these periods is affected by the
following special items:

                                                       For the Three Months
                                                             Ended March 31

      Other                                                     -       (3)

Excluding the effect of special items, first quarter 1994 net earnings
were $62 million, or 22 cents per common share, compared with $98
million, or 37 cents per common share in the first quarter of 1993.  The
results reflected the steep decline in crude oil prices from a year ago,
which were offset partially by increased natural gas revenues due to
higher domestic prices and production.

Consolidated revenues for the first quarter 1994 were $1.92 billion, down
from $2.32 billion in the same period a year ago.  Total costs and other
deductions for the first quarter 1994 were $1.81 billion, compared to
$2.07 billion in the first quarter of 1993.  Both revenues and costs
decreases reflect the sale of several businesses during 1993 and the
continued phase-out of Southeastern retail gasoline marketing operations.

PETROLEUM EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION.  Earnings for the first quarter
1994 totaled $71 million, compared with $142 million in 1993.  Excluding
special charges related to the Guadalupe oil field and gains from asset
sales, petroleum exploration and production earnings were $87 million,
compared with $120 million during the same period a year ago.

The company took a charge in the first quarter of 1994 for the writedown
of investment, abandonment and remediation of the Guadalupe oil field,
located on the central coast of California.  This charge covers
remediation and cleanup efforts currently underway from leaks of a diesel-
like additive, called diluent, that was formerly used to help produce the
heavy crude oil.

The decline in operating earnings reflected lower worldwide crude oil
prices which was partially offset by higher domestic natural gas prices
and production.

The average sales price for worldwide crude oil in the first quarter of
1994 was $11.32 per barrel, down from $14.90 per barrel a year ago.

Net daily domestic natural gas production averaged 1,118 million cubic
feet (mmcf), compared to 929 mmcf for the first quarter of 1993.  The
increased domestic natural gas production was a result of the accelerated
development program initiated in 1993.  Domestic natural gas sales prices
averaged $2.08 per thousand cubic feet (mcf), up from $1.82 per mcf last
year.

REFINING, MARKETING AND TRANSPORTATION.  First quarter earnings for
Unocal's refining, marketing and transportation segment totaled $41
million, compared with $48 million in 1993.  For the quarter, margins on
refined product sales were slightly lower.  Petroleum product sales were
306,200 barrels per day in the first quarter of 1994, down from 379,900
barrels per day in the same period in 1993.  The decline is the result of
the sale of the auto/truckstop system and the continued phase-out of
Southeastern retail gasoline marketing.  However, the company's West
Coast U.S. petroleum product sales volumes increased 7 percent to 240,000
barrels per day in the first quarter 1994, compared with 224,200 barrels
per day a year ago.

CHEMICALS.  Chemicals operations recorded earnings of $9 million for the
first quarter 1993, compared with $12 million a year ago.  The results
reflected lower earnings from agricultural products.

GEOTHERMAL.  First quarter 1994 geothermal earnings were $5 million,
compared with $32 million a year ago.  The 1993 first quarter included a
$26 million gain from the sale of the company's Imperial Valley
(California) geothermal assets and other geothermal exploration
properties.

CORPORATE AND OTHER.  Corporate expenses and the results of other
businesses were $72 million in the first quarter 1994.  This compares
with $93 million in the same period in 1993.  Adjusted for special items,
net expense for corporate and other was $80 million in 1994, versus $89
million for the same period a year ago.  The decrease reflected lower net
interest expense and a reduction in administrative and general expense.

The special items in the first quarter of 1994 included $24 million from
the settlement of a lawsuit against Mesa Petroleum, resulting from the
takeover attempt in 1985.  Also, the first quarters of 1994 and 1993 each
included unusual litigation expenses.
   
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Cash flow from operating activities, including working capital changes,
was $288 million in the first quarter of 1994, down from $305 million in
1993.  The effect of lower crude oil prices was largely offset by higher
gas revenues and the Mesa lawsuit settlement.

Proceeds from asset sales were $38 million in the first quarter of 1994,
compared to $320 million in the first quarter a year ago.  The 1994
proceeds were mainly from the sale of nonstrategic oil and gas
properties, while 1993 included $224 million from the sale of the
company's Imperial Valley (California) geothermal assets and other
geothermal exploration properties.

Consolidated working capital at March 31, 1994, was $476 million, an
increase of $94 million from the 1993 year-end level of $382 million.
The company's total debt remained at $3,522 million, unchanged from the
year-end 1993 level.

Capital expenditures for the first quarter 1994 totaled $264 million,
compared with $192 million a year ago.  The increase reflected Unocal's
accelerated exploration and development program in Louisiana and Alaska's
Cook Inlet, as well as refinery construction to prepare for manufacturing
reformulated gasoline.  Dry hole expense for the first quarter was $24
million in 1994, compared with $8 million in the first quarter of 1993.

OUTLOOK

Worldwide crude oil prices are expected to remain unstable through the
rest of this year, while the demand for natural gas is expected to remain
strong.  On the West Coast, the sluggish economy continues to affect
demand for refined products.

Total production of natural gas is expected to average about 1,800
million cubic feet per day during the full-year 1994, up nearly 13
percent from the 1993 level.  Total production should grow to almost
2,000 million cubic feet per day by 1996, driven by higher production
from the Gulf of Mexico area and Thailand.

Crude oil and condensate production is expected to remain stable at
257,000 barrels per day if the price of West Texas Intermediate crude
remains in the $15 barrel range.  However, if oil prices recover to $18
per barrel, Unocal's production could increase to 280,000 barrels per day
by 1996.

The company continues to work toward its asset sales targets.  Through
the first quarter of 1994, the company has realized proceeds of $595
million (after tax) from asset sales under the program announced in April
1992.  This represents 85 percent of the goal to generate at least $700
million in after-tax proceeds by May 1994.  The company has identified
additional assets that it plans to sell this year.  The goal will not be
met by May 1994, due mainly to soft market conditions; however, the
company still plans to meet the goal by year-end 1994.  The company has
decided to take enough time to ensure that fair value is received for
each asset that it sells rather than rush to meet its own self-imposed
deadline.



                                    
                       PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- ----------------------------

       In response to a State of California Air Resources Board request
       for information regarding additive concentrations levels in

       incidents of additive injection at a rate below required
       concentration levels.  The company is discussing the matter with
       the Air Resources Board.  There is likely to be a civil penalty
       component of any settlement negotiated.

     Section 10.  Indemnification of Directors, Officers, Employees and
Other Agents.

     (a) Right to Indemnification.  Each person who was or is made a
party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any
action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or
investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he
or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or
was a director or officer, of the Corporation or is or was serving at the
request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of
another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other
enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans,
whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official
capacity as a director, officer, employee, or agent or in any other
capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, or agent, shall
be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent
authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or
may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to
the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader
indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide
prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability, and loss
(including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or
penalties, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably
incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith; and, such
indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a
director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of
his or her heirs, executors, and administrators; provided, however, that,
except as provided in paragraph (b) hereof, with respect to proceedings
seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall
indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a
proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such
proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of
the Corporation.  The right to indemnification conferred in this Section
shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the
Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in
advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the
Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses
incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or
officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is
rendered by such person while a director or officer, including without
limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final
disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the
Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or
officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be
determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be
indemnified under this Section or otherwise.  The Corporation may, to the
extent authorized from time to time by its board of directors, provide
indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same
scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and
officers.

     (b) Right of Claimant to Bring Suit.  If a claim under paragraph (a)
of this Section is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60)
days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except
in the case of a claim for expenses incurred in a proceeding in advance
of its final disposition in which case the applicable period shall be
twenty (20) days, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit
against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if
successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid
also the expense of prosecuting such claim.  It shall be a defense to any
such 

<PAGE>
                                    4

action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses
incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition
where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to
the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct
which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for
the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the
burden of providing such defense shall be on the Corporation.  Neither
the failure of the Corporation (including its board of directors, its
independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a
determination prior to the commencement of such action that
indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he
or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the
Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the
Corporation (including its board of directors, its independent legal
counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such
applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or
create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable
standard of conduct.

     (c) Non-Exclusivity of Rights.  The right to indemnification and the
payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its
final disposition conferred in this Section shall not be exclusive of any
other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any
statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaw, agreement,
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

     (d) Insurance.  The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its
expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee, or agent
of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, or other enterprise against any such expense, liability, or loss,
whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such
person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General
Corporation Law.

     Section 11.  Authority to Designate Place of Stockholders' Meetings.
The Board is hereby granted full power and authority to designate from
time to time any place within or without the State of Delaware for the
holding of the stockholders' annual meeting.

     Section 12.  Committees.  The Board may, by resolution, appoint one
or more committees, in addition to the Executive Committee, to consist of
two or more of the directors of the Corporation, and prescribe their
duties and powers.  A majority of the members of any such committee may
determine its action and fix the time and place of its meetings unless
the Board shall otherwise provide.  The Board shall have the power at any
time to fill vacancies in, to change the membership of, or to dissolve
any such committee.

     Section 13.  Action by Written Consent.  Any action required or
permitted to be taken by the Board under any provision of the Delaware
General Corporation Law may be taken without a meeting, if all members of
the Board shall individually or collectively consent in writing to such
action.  Such written consent or consents shall be filed with the minutes
of the proceedings of the Board.

     Section 14.  Conference Calls.  Members of the Board may participate
in a meeting through use of conference telephone or similar
communications equipment, so long as all members participating in such
meeting can hear one another.

     Section 1.  Number and Composition.  The Board of Directors shall
appoint from its membership, annually, an Executive Committee of three or
more directors who are salaried officers of the Corporation.  Included on
the Executive Committee shall be the chief executive officer of the
Corporation.  Each member of the Executive Committee shall hold
membership at the pleasure of the Board, which shall have the exclusive
power to fill vacancies thereon as they may occur.  The Chairman of the
Executive Committee shall be the chief executive officer of the
Corporation.

     Section 2.  Powers.  The Executive Committee, during the intervals
between meetings of the Board, shall have and there is hereby granted to

management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, except the
power to declare dividends, to adopt, amend or repeal Bylaws, and to fix
the compensation of, or to fill vacancies on the Board or on any
committee, to approve any action for which stockholder approval is also
required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, to amend or repeal any
resolution of the Board which by its express terms is not so amendable or
repealable, or to appoint other committees of the Board or the members
thereof and except any powers restricted by Section l41(c) of the
Delaware General Corporation Law.

     Section 3.  Procedure.  The Executive Committee, by vote of a
majority of its members, shall fix its own times and places of meetings,
shall determine the number of its members constituting a quorum for the
transaction of business, and shall prescribe its own rules of procedure;
no change in which shall be made save by a majority vote of its members.

     Section 4.  Records and Reports.  The Executive Committee shall keep
regular minutes of all business transacted at its meetings, and all
action of the Executive Committee shall be reported to the Board at its
next ensuing meeting.  Such action shall be subject to review by the
Board, provided that no rights of third parties shall be affected by such

pursuant thereto, shall be effective only during an emergency.  This
Article may be implemented from time to time by resolutions adopted by
the Board of Directors before or during an emergency, or during an

adopted for that purpose by the directors.

     Section 2.  If, during an emergency, a majority of the Board of
Directors cannot be found or is unable to act, one-third of the exact
number of the Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum thereof.

     If, during an emergency, it can be determined that vacancies on the

this Article shall not apply.  If, however, vacancies are not so filled

of Directors or Executive Committee cannot be found or is unable to act,
any two or more available members of the Executive Committee who are also

the Executive Committee and as such shall have and exercise the fullest
power for conduct and management of the affairs and business of the
Corporation, provided that the Executive Committee as so constituted
