Item 5.           Other Events.

The following is an amendment to the Form 8-K filing submitted on June 17, 1998:




                      Unocal Reports $3.4 Million Shortfall
                      For Indonesian March Steam Deliveries
                      -------------------------------------

   
         El Segundo,  Calif., June 17, 1998 - Unocal Corporation said today that
its wholly  owned  subsidiary,  Unocal  Geothermal  of  Indonesia,  Ltd.  (UGI),
received a $0.9 million  payment for $4.3 million in March steam  deliveries  to
Gunung Salak electric  generating Units 1, 2 and 3, creating a shortfall of $3.4
million.  UGI operates  the Gunung Salak field and supplies  steam to Units 1, 2
and 3.    

   
         In  addition  to the  March  shortfall,  the  company  currently  has a
receivable  balance of $44  million,  most of which is for steam  sales from the
Salak field.  Of this total,  $12 million is due by the end of August 1998,  and
the balance is payable over the next several years.    

   
         Unocal  said  that  it  is  engaged  in  discussions   with  Indonesian
government entities to explore potential  opportunities to resolve the shortfall
issue to the satisfaction of all parties.    

         Steam production and electricity generation at the Salak field, located
on the island of Java, have not been affected.

   
         The  company's  net aggregate  property  investment  in its  Indonesian
geothermal  operations is approximately  $290 million,  including both the Salak
and Sarulla contract areas. Sarulla is located in Northern Sumatra.

         Unocal's  Indonesian crude oil and natural gas production  continues to
operate  normally,  with most of its production sold in export  markets.  Unocal
operates nine producing fields offshore East Kalimantan.    

         Unocal  is  one  of  the  world's  largest   independent  oil  and  gas
exploration and production  companies,  with major resource  development,  power
plant and pipeline projects in Central and Southeast Asia, Latin America and the
U.S. Gulf of Mexico region.
