ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On July 24, 1995, the following news release was issued:
UNOCAL REPORTS $78 MILLION EARNINGS FOR SECOND QUARTER
-------------------------------------------------------
Los Angeles, July 24 -- Unocal Corporation today reported second
quarter 1995 net earnings of $78 million, or 28 cents per common share,
compared with $59 million, or 21 cents per common share, for the same
period last year. Total revenues were $2.29 billion versus $2.05 billion
a year ago.
Excluding the effect of special items (detailed in attached table),
Unocal's earnings from operations for the second quarter were $101 million,
or 37 cents per common share. This compares with operating earnings of $74
million, or 27 cents per common share, last year.
For the first six months of 1995, Unocal's reported net earnings were
$152 million, or 55 cents per common share. This compares with a loss of
$155 million, or 71 cents per common share, for the same period a year ago.
Revenues were $4.2 billion, up from $3.96 billion last year.
Adjusting for special items, earnings from operations for the six
months were $155 million, up from $145 million last year. Adjusted
earnings per common share for the six months were 56 cents, up from 52
cents last year.
"Our operating results for the quarter reflect success in our
strategic focus areas," said Roger C. Beach, Unocal chairman and chief
executive officer. "We had higher earnings from our foreign exploration
and production activities, agricultural products and carbon and minerals,
while we reduced our administrative and general expense."
Beach added, "In our upstream operations, our natural gas production
continues to increase, and we reduced production costs. Downstream, sales
volumes increased slightly and we lowered our operating and selling
expenses."
Beach noted that the company's agricultural products business posted
significant gains again in the second quarter because of strong commodity
prices and strong seasonal demand, particularly in Asia markets.
Cash flows from operations in the second quarter, before working
capital changes, were $317 million, down from $353 million last year.
Capital expenditures for the second quarter were $329 million, up 30
percent from $254 million in the same period a year ago. The higher
expenditures reflected spending for reformulated gasoline modifications at
our refineries as well as increased development drilling in the Gulf of
Mexico.

SECOND QUARTER OPERATIONS
Worldwide petroleum exploration and production earnings in the second
quarter were $105 million, up from $89 million a year ago.
Adjusted for special items, earnings from petroleum exploration and
production operations for the quarter were $115 million, up from $102
million in the same period a year ago.
The company benefitted from higher crude oil prices and increased
natural gas production, particularly in the Far East. Worldwide crude oil
sales prices for the quarter averaged $16.30 per barrel, up from $13.92
last year.
Compared with the same period a year ago, natural gas production
increased 3 percent to 1,774 million cubic feet per day, but the average
sales price dropped 10 percent to $1.70 per thousand cubic feet.
The 76 Products Company -- Unocal's West Coast refining, marketing and
transportation unit -- posted a loss of $4 million in the second quarter,
compared with earnings of $5 million last year.
The second quarter results reflected an improvement from the first
three months of 1995 when the refineries were undergoing major maintenance
work. However, even with lower operating and selling expenses and slightly
higher sales volumes in the second quarter, 76 Products earnings were
adversely affected by low product margins in the West Coast markets.
Geothermal and power earnings for the quarter were $11 million, up
slightly from $9 million a year ago. These results reflected higher
earnings from Unocal's new operations in Indonesia, which were partially
offset by impact of electrical generating curtailments by the public
utility at The Geysers in Northern California.
Earnings from diversified businesses - agricultural products, carbon
and minerals, real estate and the company's equity interest in various
pipelines and The UNO-VEN Company -- were up 77 percent to $69 million in
the quarter. Major gains came from strong nitrogen fertilizer sales prices
and volumes and improved lanthanide earnings. Excluding special items,
earnings from diversified businesses were $64 million in the quarter, up
from $39 million last year.
Net corporate and unallocated expense -- including administrative and
general expense, net interest expense, and environmental and litigation
expense -- was $103 million in the second quarter 1995. This compares with
expense of $88 million in the same period of 1994. Adjusted for special
items, net expense for corporate and unallocated was $80 million, down from
$89 million last year.
