      This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D"), dated
April 11, 1995, originally filed in connection with the acquisition by YPF 
Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Purchaser"), and YPF Sociedad 
Anonima, a sociedad anonima (stock corporation) organized under the laws of 
the Republic of Argentina ("YPF") of the outstanding shares of common stock, 
par value $1.00 per share, of Maxus Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation 
("Maxus" or the "Company") pursuant to a tender offer (the "Offer"). Unless 
otherwise defined herein, all terms used herein shall have the meanings set 
forth in the Schedule 13D.

     Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended in the following manner.  
First, the second paragraph of Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read 
in its entirety as follows:

          The Offer expired at midnight on March 30, 1995.  On March 31, 1995,
     YPF announced that the Purchaser would accept for purchase all Shares 
     validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer. 


          Second, Item 3 of Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add after the 
third paragraph as the new fourth paragraph the following:

            On April 13, 1995, the depositary, The Chase Manhattan Bank 
       (National Association), notified the Reporting Persons that, upon 
       final tabulation, an additional 660,930 Shares had been properly 
       tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer. 
       The Purchaser took delivery of these additional Shares and 
       delivered the purchase price for the additional Shares on April 13, 
       1995. The $3.6 million purchase price for such additional Shares was 
       paid out of funds previously borrowed on April 5, 1995 under the 
       Purchaser Facility.

          Third, the paragraph entitled "Conditions to Funding" under Item 3 
on page 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated to read in its 
entirety as follows:

            Conditions to Funding. The obligation of the lenders to advance the
      remaining amount of credit available under the Purchaser Facility is
      subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, including but not
      limited to, (i) the absence of any material adverse change in the
      condition (financial or otherwise), business operations, assets, nature of
      assets or liabilities of (a) YPF and its subsidiaries (taken as a whole),
      (b) the Purchaser and (c) the Company and its subsidiaries, and (ii) the
      lenders' satisfaction that the Company will have sufficient cash available
      to pay the lesser of (a) $134 million or (b) the principal amount of the
      Purchaser Loan, interest thereon and other amounts due on the Purchaser
      Maturity Date under the Purchaser Facility.

      Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended in the following manner.  
First, the first paragraph of Item 4(a) is hereby amended and restated to read 
in its entirety as follows:

      On February 28, 1995, Maxus, the Purchaser and YPF entered into the 
      Merger Agreement pursuant to which, as described in Item 3 above, the 
      Purchaser commenced the Offer.  The Offer expired at midnight on 
      March 30, 1995.  The Purchaser took delivery of 119,339,683 Shares, 
      representing 88.0% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of such date, 
      and delivered the purchase price for them on April 5, 1995.  On 
      April 13, 1995, the Purchaser was notified by the depositary that an 
      additional 660,930 Shares had been validly tendered and not withdrawn 
      prior to the expiration of the Offer. The Purchaser took delivery of 
      all such additional Shares and delivered the purchase price therefor on 
      such date.  As a result, the Purchaser owns an aggregate of 120,000,613 
      Shares, or an aggregate of 88.5% of the issued and outstanding Shares as 
      of such date.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Maxus, the Purchaser and
      YPF agreed to cause the merger of the Purchaser with and into Maxus as 
      soon as practicable following the purchase of Shares pursuant to the 
      Offer.  Pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") and 
      the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate"), 
      the approval and adoption of the Merger require the affirmative vote of 
      the holders of a majority of the combined voting power of the 
      outstanding Shares and $4.00 Cumulative 

                                 Page 4 of 6 Pages

<PAGE>

      Convertible Preferred Stock (collectively, the "Voting Shares"), voting 
      together as a single class.

      In addition, the first sentence of the second paragraph of Item 4(d) is 
hereby amended to change "The Purchaser's ownership of 85.3% ..." to read 
instead "The Purchaser's ownership of 85.7% ...."

      Item 5(a) and (b) of Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated to read
in their entirety as follows:

           (a) and (b) The Purchaser has sole voting and dispositive power over 
     120,000,613 Shares, which represents approximately 88.5% of the outstanding
     Shares and 85.7% of the outstanding Voting Shares.  YPF, by virtue of its 
     ownership of all of the capital stock of the Purchaser, is a beneficial 
     owner of all of the Shares owned by the Purchaser.  If the Merger is 
     consummated, YPF will own 100% of the then-outstanding Shares.
