3. Litigation and Contingencies

   As reported in Form 10-K, TransAmerican Natural Gas
Corporation (TransAmerican) has filed a petition against
Enron Corp. and Enron Oil & Gas Company (EOG) alleging
breach of confidentiality agreements, misappropriation of
trade secrets and unfair competition, with respect to four
tracts in Webb County, Texas, which EOG leased for their oil
and gas exploration and development potential.
TransAmerican seeks actual damages of $100 million and
exemplary damages of $300 million.  EOG has filed claims
against TransAmerican and its sole shareholder alleging
common law fraud, negligent misrepresentation and breach of
state antitrust laws.  On April 6, 1994, Enron Corp. was
granted summary judgment, wherein the court ordered that
TransAmerican take nothing on its claims against Enron Corp.
As to EOG, the trial date, which was most recently set for
September 12, 1994, has been continued and there is no
current setting.  Although no assurances can be given, Enron
believes that TransAmerican's claims are without merit.
Enron believes that the ultimate resolution of this matter
will not have a materially adverse effect on its financial
position or results of operations.

   As reported in Form 10-K, a pipeline company in which an
Enron affiliate has a minority interest and for which an
Enron affiliate has served as operator, filed a petition
against Enron and certain affiliates alleging an unspecified
amount of damages relating to the operation of such pipeline
company.  A settlement agreement has been executed whereby,
upon certain conditions being met, such lawsuit will be
dismissed.  Enron believes that the terms of the settlement
agreement, if consummated, will not have a materially
adverse effect on Enron's financial position or results of
operations.  If such conditions are not met and the
settlement is not consummated, the proceedings in said
lawsuit will be resumed.  In that event, and based upon
information currently available, it is not possible to
predict the outcome of such litigation; however, Enron
believes that the results will not have a materially adverse
effect on Enron's financial position or results of
operations.

   During October 1994, an explosion occurred at Enron's
methanol plant in Pasadena, Texas.  Before the explosion,
the plant was producing approximately 420,000 gallons of
methanol per day, approximately half of which was being used
at Enron's MTBE plant.  There were no fatalities or serious
injuries as a result of the explosion.  The plant is
expected to be placed back into commercial operations in May
1995.  Enron is currently investigating the explosion to
determine the full extent of any damages; however, based
upon business interruption and other insurance coverages,
Enron currently anticipates that the explosion will not have
a material adverse effect on its financial position or
results of operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Quarter 1995
vs. First Quarter 1994

   The following review of Enron's results of operations
should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

CONSOLIDATED NET INCOME

   Enron's first quarter 1995 net income increased to $195
million as compared to $173 million during the first quarter
of 1994.  The $22 million increase in consolidated net
income primarily reflects improved income before interest,
minority interests and income taxes for the transportation
and operation and exploration and production segments.  This
increase was partially offset by lower income before
interest, minority interests and income taxes for the
corporate and other segment combined with higher income
taxes. Earnings per share rose to $.79 in the first quarter
of 1995 from $.70 in the same period in 1994.

INCOME BEFORE INTEREST, MINORITY INTERESTS AND INCOME TAXES

   The following table presents income before interest,
minority interests and income taxes (IBIT) for each of
Enron's operating segments (in millions).

TRANSPORTATION AND OPERATION

   The transportation and operation segment includes Enron's
regulated natural gas pipelines, construction, management
and operation of pipelines, liquids plants and power
facilities and Enron's investments in crude oil marketing
and transportation operations conducted by EOTT Energy Corp.
(EOTT) and liquids pipeline operations.  The segment
realized a $28 million increase in IBIT for the first
quarter of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.  The
increase was due primarily to a gain of $29 million on the
sale of non-strategic natural gas processing and gathering
related assets and increased earnings from construction,
management and operations activities, partially offset by
lower results from EOTT.  In the first quarter of 1994,
EOTT, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Enron, sold its crude oil
trading and transportation  operations  to  EOTT  Energy
Partners, L.P.  (the  EOTT  Partnership).

       ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)
                ENRON CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES



EOTT continues to own approximately 40% of the EOTT
Partnership.  The following discussion analyzes the
significant changes in the various components of IBIT for
the transportation and operation segment.

REVENUES

   Revenues of the transportation and operation segment
decreased approximately $50 million (16%) during the first
quarter of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.  The
decrease in revenues primarily reflects the reduced
ownership interest in EOTT and reduced sales revenue at
Northern Natural Gas Company (Northern Natural) as that
pipeline is now almost exclusively a transporter of natural
gas.  Northern Natural's sales volumes decreased from 146
million cubic feet per day (Mmcf/d) in the first quarter of
1994 to 71 Mmcf/d in the same period in 1995.  These
declines were partially offset by increased engineering and
construction revenues associated with Enron's international
assets.

COST OF GAS AND OTHER PRODUCTS SOLD

   The cost of gas and other products sold by the
transportation and operation segment decreased by $20
million (85%) during the first quarter of 1995 compared to
the same period in 1994 primarily as a result of the reduced
ownership interest in EOTT and decreased gas purchases by
Northern Natural.

OPERATING EXPENSES

   Operating expenses in the transportation and operation
segment declined 12% during the first quarter of 1995 as
compared to the same period in 1994.  The decline primarily
reflects lower operating expenses of the regulated natural
gas pipelines due to lower transmission, compression and
storage cost of gas purchased for resale as a result of the
previously discussed transition to being almost exclusively
transporters of natural gas, as well as the effect of the
reduced ownership interest in EOTT.

   Amortization of deferred contract reformation costs
decreased 56% in the first quarter of 1995, primarily due to
the completion by Northern Natural of the recovery of
certain transition costs in early 1995.

   Depreciation expense for the transportation and operation
segment decreased $3 million (12%) during the first quarter
of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994 primarily as
a result of the reduced ownership interest in EOTT.

       ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)
                ENRON CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES



OTHER INCOME AND DEDUCTIONS

   Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries was $4
million in both quarters.  The first quarter 1995 results
reflected improved earnings from Citrus Corp.  The increase
in Citrus' earnings are a result of increased allowances for
funds used during construction related to the Florida Gas
Transmission Company Phase III pipeline expansion, which was
placed in service March 1, 1995, increased revenues after
the expansion pipeline was placed in service and improved
sales margins as a result of contract renegotiations.  These
increases were partially offset by a loss from the EOTT
Partnership, due primarily to weak industry-wide crude oil
processing margins on the West Coast.

   Other income, net increased $30 million, from $19 million
to $49 million, primarily due to the gain of $29 million on
the sale of non-strategic natural gas processing and
gathering facilities.

DOMESTIC GAS AND POWER SERVICES

   Enron's domestic gas and power activities are conducted
by Enron Capital & Trade Resources Corp. (ECT) and can be
categorized into three business lines:  Cash and Physical,
Risk Management and Finance.  The domestic gas and power
services segment had a $2 million (5%) increase in IBIT for
the first quarter of 1995 as compared to the same period in
1994.  This increase was primarily due to increased earnings
in the risk management and finance businesses, partially
offset by lower earnings in the cash and physical business.
The following discussion analyzes the contributions to IBIT
for each of these businesses.

     The cash and physical operations include earnings from
physical contracts of one year or less involving marketing
and transportation of physical natural gas, liquids,
electricity, and other commodities, earnings from the
management of ECT's contract portfolio and earnings related
to the physical assets of ECT, including the domestic gas
processing activity.  Also reported in this line of business
are the effects of actual settlements of ECT's long-term
physical and notional quantity based contracts.  The cash
and physical operations' earnings before overhead expenses
were $33 million in the first quarter of 1995 and were less
than the prior year's earnings due primarily to lower margins
for physical natural gas resulting from less volatile market
conditions due to weather in the first quarter of 1995.  This
decrease was partially offset by an increase in earnings from
Canadian operations and the marketing of electricity.
Additionally, 1994 results included the impact of reflecting
clean fuels contractual commitments at market value.  The
cash and physical operations contributed 37% of ECT's earnings
before overhead expenses in the first quarter of 1995 as compared
to 92% in the first quarter of 1994.

                ENRON CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES



     The risk management operations consist of market
origination activity on new long-term contracts
(transactions greater than one year) and restructuring of
existing long-term contracts.  Earnings before overhead
expenses from these activities increased to $36 million due
primarily to the originations from long-term contracts with
independent power plants (IPP), as well as originations
related to Canadian gas supply.  Included in originations is
$19 million associated with the non-affiliated portion of
earnings from a long-term gas supply contract with a 50%-
owned IPP.  Earnings from risk management originations were
40% and 8% of ECT earnings before overhead expenses in the
first quarter of 1995 and 1994, respectively.

     ECT's finance operations provide capital to customers
through various product offerings.  Earnings before overhead
expenses from this unit increased to $21 million in the
first quarter of 1995 due primarily to its share of earnings
associated with the long-term gas supply contract with the
IPP discussed above.  The finance activities contributed 23%
of ECT's earnings before overhead expenses in the first
quarter of 1995 and less than 1% in the same period in 1994.

     ECT's overhead expenses such as rent, systems expenses
and other support group costs were 43% of ECT's earnings
before overhead expenses in 1995 and 38% in 1994.  These
costs increased by 28% in the first quarter of 1995 due to
continued expansion into new markets.

INTERNATIONAL GAS AND POWER SERVICES

   The international segment's IBIT was virtually unchanged.
The following discussion analyzes significant items in the
segment's results.

REVENUES

   Net revenues improved by $5 million (9%) in the first
quarter of 1995 as compared with 1994.  Included in 1995
were amounts received from the promotion of a portion of
Enron's interest in the Dabhol power project in India and
$24 million from the promotion of a portion of Enron's
interest in its power assets at Teesside in the United
Kingdom.  In addition, revenues of $12 million were
recognized as a result of the expiration of certain
contingent obligations related to the formation of Enron
Global Power & Pipelines L.L.C.  The 1994 results included
revenues of approximately $31 million from the promotion on
the sale of certain liquids processing facilities at
Teesside.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

   Operating expenses increased by $7 million (72%) as a
result of increased international activities.

OTHER INCOME AND DEDUCTIONS

   Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries
improved from $6 million in the first quarter of 1994 to $12
million in the same period in 1995 due primarily to
increased earnings from Enron's interests in international
power and pipeline projects.

EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION

   The exploration and production segment's IBIT increased
to $58 million in the first quarter of 1995 from $40 million
in the same period of 1994.  The following discussion
analyzes the significant changes in the segment's results.

REVENUES

   The exploration and production segment's gross revenues
increased 4% during the first quarter of 1995 as compared to
the same period in 1994.  The increased revenues are
attributable to a 28% increase in average wellhead prices
for crude oil and condensate combined with a 68% increase in
average crude oil and condensate wellhead volumes.  The
effects of 35% lower average wellhead natural gas prices
were partially mitigated by the positive effects of EOG's
hedging strategies.  U.S. wellhead natural gas volumes were
voluntarily curtailed by an average of 150 MMcf per day
during February and March of 1995 contributing to a decrease
of 10% in volumes delivered from the first quarter of 1994.
In addition, the exploration and production segment's first
quarter 1995 and 1994 includes a $16 million gain and a $1
million loss, respectively, related to hedges placed by
Enron on open commodity positions not hedged by EOG. EOG
realized an $11 million gain in the first quarter of 1995
related to certain NYMEX-related commodity market
transactions that were designated for trading purposes in
1994.  All trading positions were closed during the first
quarter of 1995.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

   The cost of gas sold in connection with other natural gas
marketing activities decreased $7 million (22%) from the
first quarter of 1994 compared to the same period in 1995
due to lower average associated costs per Mcf combined with
a decrease in other natural gas marketing volumes.

   Operating expenses for the exploration and production
segment increased $1 million (4%) and oil and gas
exploration expenses increased $4 million (25%) during the
first quarter of 1995 when compared to the same period in
1994 primarily reflecting increased international operations
and exploration activities.

   Depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense
decreased $12 million reflecting a decrease in production
volumes and a decrease in the average DD&A rate from $0.83
per thousand cubic feet equivalent (Mcfe) in the first
quarter of 1994 to $0.70 per Mcfe in the first quarter of
1995.  A portion of the DD&A rate decrease is attributable
to a lower average rate relating to increased production
from international operations versus that for North American
operations.  The remainder of the decrease is primarily due
to increased production from lower cost fields, the
disposition of higher cost North American properties and
increases in reserve estimates.  

CORPORATE AND OTHER

   The corporate and other segment's IBIT was $30 million in
the first quarter of 1995 as compared to $43 million in the
first quarter of 1994. The 1994 amount includes a gain
related to the sale of 10 million common units of the EOTT
Partnership and general and administrative expense
reductions realized in 1994.  The 1995 results include
amounts recognized following the further resolution of
certain litigation in 1995.

DIVIDENDS ON PREFERRED STOCK OF SUBSIDIARIES

   The increase in dividends on preferred stock of
subsidiaries reflects the issuance by Enron Capital
Resources, L.P. of 3 million shares of 9% Cumulative
Preferred Securities, Series A ($25 per share liquidation
value) in August 1994 and the issuance in December 1994 of
880 shares of 8.57% Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value,
($100,000 per share liquidation value) by Enron Equity Corp.

INCOME TAXES

   Income taxes increased during the first quarter of 1995
as compared to the first quarter of 1994 primarily as a
result of increased pretax income.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

   Cash used in operating activities totaled approximately
$127 million as compared to $210 million during the same
period last year.  The improvement primarily reflects
reduced working capital requirements.

   Cash used in investing activities totaled $133 million
during the first quarter of 1995 as compared to cash
provided of $25 million during the same period in 1994.
This change primarily resulted from the sale of EOTT's
operations in the first quarter of 1994.

   Cash provided by financing activities totaled $221
million during the first quarter of 1995 as compared to $180
million during the same period in 1994.  During the first
quarter of 1995, net issuances of short- and long-term debt
totaled $294 million.  Proceeds from these issuances were
used primarily to fund capital and other expenditures and
meet working capital requirements.

   At March 31, 1995, Enron had a working capital deficit of
$117 million as compared to a deficit of $388 million at
December 31, 1994. Enron is able to fund its normal working
capital deficit through the utilization of credit facilities
and its ability to sell commercial paper and accounts
receivable.

   Total capitalization at March 31, 1995 was $6.8 billion.
Debt as a percentage of total capitalization was 45.4% at
March 31, 1995 as compared to 44.2% at year-end 1994 and
47.7% at March 31, 1994.  The increase from December 31,
1994 primarily reflects the increase in debt levels
occurring during the first quarter of 1995 as discussed
above.
