3. LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES

    As  reported in the Form 10-K, TransAmerican Natural Gas
Corporation  (TransAmerican) 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
sought  actual damages of $100 million and exemplary damages
of $300 million.  EOG 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.  On October 16, 1995,  EOG,
TransAmerican  and  its  sole shareholder  entered  into  an
agreement  which resolved all claims.  Enron  believes  that
the settlement will not have a materially adverse effect  on
its 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 was placed
back  into  commercial operation in June 1995.   Based  upon
business  interruption and other insurance coverages,  Enron
currently  anticipates that the explosion will  not  have  a
materially  adverse  effect  on its  financial  position  or
results of operations.

    In  connection  with  a Power Purchase  Agreement  dated
December  8, 1993, as amended, between Dabhol Power Company,
Enron's  80%-owned  subsidiary, and  the  Maharashtra  State
Electricity Board (the MSEB), Dabhol Power Company has  been
developing Phase I (approximately 695 megawatts) of a  2,015
megawatt electricity generating power plant south of Bombay,
State   of  Maharashtra,  India  (the  Project).   Financial
closing occurred and Project construction began on March  1,
1995.  After construction had begun, and following elections
to  the  Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, a  new  coalition
government took office in the State of Maharashtra.  The new
coalition government appointed a review committee  to  study
the  Project,  and  on August 3, 1995, announced  the  State
government's  intention to terminate the Project.   Work  on
the   Project   was  ordered  stopped  by  the   MSEB,   and
construction ceased on August 8, 1995.  Enron believes  that
such actions were in clear violation of the contract and  in
response  to these actions, Dabhol Power Company is pursuing
two  courses  of  action.  First, pursuant to  Dabhol  Power
Company's   remedies  in  the  agreements  with  the   State
government, arbitration has commenced in London against  the
State  government for the actions it has taken to  terminate
the  Project.  Dabhol Power Company seeks to recover all  of
its  construction  and other expenses, in addition  to  lost
profits.   The  arbitration tribunal has been appointed  and
one  arbitration  hearing  has occurred  in  London  with  a
subsequent   hearing  scheduled  for  late  November   1995.
Second,  Dabhol Power Company has both orally and in writing
communicated to the Maharashtra State government its  desire
to  go  forward  with construction of the  Project  and  its
willingness   to   resolve  any  outstanding   issues,   and
discussions  to  resolve  outstanding  issues  have   begun.
Although        the        outcome        of         neither
the  arbitration  nor  the  renegotiation  process  can   be
predicted  with  certainty,  based  on  currently  available
information, Enron believes that the ultimate outcome of the
Project  will  not have a materially adverse effect  on  its
financial position.

   In March 1993, Enron entered into long-term gas contracts
with  Phillips  Petroleum  Company United  Kingdom  Limited,
British  Gas  Exploration and Production  Limited  and  Agip
(U.K.)  Limited to purchase all of the future gas production
from  the  J-Block field which is located in the  North  Sea
offshore  the United Kingdom (the J-Block Contracts).   Such
agreements provide for Enron to take or pay for the gas at a
fixed  price  (with  possible  escalations  throughout   the
contract  period).   Gas paid for, but  not  taken,  may  be
recovered  in  later contract years.  The J-Block  Contracts
provide  for a first delivery date of not later than October
1,  1996.   The contract price for such natural  gas  is  in
excess of current spot market prices in the United Kingdom.

    In  September 1995, Enron announced that, in  accordance
with  its  contractual rights, it had notified  the  J-Block
sellers  that Enron's nominations for gas from  the  J-Block
fields  were  estimated to be zero from the  first  delivery
date through September 30, 1997.  In addition, in accordance
with  its  contractual rights, Enron has made  no  estimated
nominations  for  J-Block  gas to  date  under  the  J-Block
Contracts for the contract year ending September 30, 1998.

    Enron  continues  its  good  faith  efforts  to  develop
mutually  beneficial solutions regarding  pricing  terms  so
that  production from J-Block can begin as soon as possible.
Enron  believes that there are many commercial  reasons  for
the parties to resolve any contract issues, but efforts have
not  been successful to date.  Enron has advised the J-Block
sellers that it intends to assert all legal rights, exercise
all   available  commercial  flexibility  and   pursue   all
available  commercial and legal remedies under  the  J-Block
Contracts,  and stands ready and able to perform  all  legal
obligations under the J-Block Contracts, including potential
pre-payments for gas to be taken in later years.

    The  long-term  market  demand for  J-Block  gas  supply
remains  favorable and Enron anticipates being able to  meet
all  of its various short- and long-term market commitments.
Although  no  assurances  can  be  given,  based  upon   the
foregoing  and other information currently available,  Enron
does  not at this time anticipate that the J-Block Contracts
will  have  a materially adverse effect on Enron's financial
position.

4.   Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

    In  March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 -
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and  for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" (the "Standard").   The
Standard  requires,  among  other  things,  that  long-lived
assets  and certain identifiable intangibles to be held  and
used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events
or  changes  in  circumstances indicate  that  the  carrying
amount  of  an  asset  may  not be  recoverable.   Enron  is
required  to  adopt  the Standard no later  than  the  first
quarter  of  1996.   While  Enron  has  not  finalized   its
evaluation  of  the effect of adoption of the Standard,  its
evaluation  to  date  indicates  that  application  of   the
Standard  to  its   current portfolio  of  assets  could
result in  non-cash  impairment charges  ranging from $5 million
to $60 million ($3  million to  $31  million after minority
interests and Federal income taxes).

5.   Registration of EOG Shares

   In November 1995, EOG filed a registration statement with
the  Securities and Exchange Commission relating to a public
offering  of  27  million outstanding shares (not  including
shares  related to the underwriters' over-allotment options)
of  EOG common stock currently held by Enron.  Concurrently,
Enron filed a registration statement relating to Enron Corp.
Exchangeable  Notes, which will be mandatorily  exchangeable
in  three  years  into a maximum of 10 million  shares  (not
including  notes related to the underwriters' over-allotment
option) of EOG common stock owned by Enron.

    Enron currently owns 80 percent of EOG.  Upon completion
of  the  proposed offerings, and assuming the maximum number
of  shares  of EOG common stock is mandatorily exchanged  at
the  maturity of the Exchangeable Notes and all  underwriter
over-allotment options are exercised in full, Enron will own
approximately 54 percent of EOG's outstanding common stock.

    There  is  no  assurance  that  the  offerings  will  be
completed  or  of  the ultimate amount  of  proceeds  to  be
received by Enron.

                ENRON CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Third Quarter 1995
vs. Third 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 third quarter 1995 net income increased to $100.6
million  as  compared  to  $96.0 million  during  the  third
quarter  of 1994.  Net income in the third quarter  of  1995
benefited from increased earnings in all operating  segments
except the Transportation and Operation and Exploration  and
Production segments, partially offset by higher interest and
related   charges,   dividends   on   preferred   stock   of
subsidiaries and income tax expense. Earnings per share rose
to $0.40 in the third quarter of 1995 from $0.38 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).

</TABLE>

TRANSPORTATION AND OPERATION

   The transportation and operation segment includes Enron's
regulated  natural  gas pipelines, construction,  management
and  operation of pipelines, liquids and clean fuels  plants
and  power  facilities and Enron's investment in  crude  oil
marketing  and transportation operations conducted  by  EOTT
Energy   Partners,   L.P.  (EOTT)   and   liquids   pipeline
operations.  The segment's IBIT decreased $4 million  during
the third quarter of 1995 as compared to the same period  in
1994.   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 $28 million (13%) during the third quarter of 1995
as  compared  to the same period in 1994.  The  decrease  in
revenues  primarily  reflects lower  recoveries  of  certain
transition  costs at Northern Natural Gas Company  (Northern
Natural).

COSTS AND EXPENSES

    Operating  expenses in the transportation and  operation
segment  declined $13 million (14%) during the third 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 transition costs.

    Amortization  of  deferred  contract  reformation  costs
decreased $16 million (79%) during the third quarter of 1995
as  compared to the same period in 1994 primarily due to the
completion  by Northern Natural of the recovery  of  certain
transition costs in early 1995.

OTHER INCOME AND DEDUCTIONS

     Equity   in  earnings  of  unconsolidated  subsidiaries
decreased  $12 million during the third quarter of  1995  as
compared  to the same period in 1994 primarily reflecting  a
charge to fully reflect the termination by EOTT of its  West
Coast  processing operations.  Additionally,  earnings  from
Citrus  Corp.  decreased due to higher allowance  for  funds
used during construction of Florida Gas Transmission's Phase
III  pipeline  expansion during the third quarter  of  1994,
partially  offset  by  higher  operating  income  from   the
expansion in the same period of 1995.

    Other  income, net increased $6 million  for  the  third
quarter  of 1995 compared to the same period in  1994.   The
increase  was primarily due to a gain of $9 million  related
to the disposition of non-strategic 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's  IBIT  for the  third  quarter  of  1995
increased by $16 million (37%) from the same period in 1994.
The  following discussion analyzes the contributions to IBIT
for each of these businesses.

    Volume  and  price  statistics  (including  intercompany
amounts) are as follows:

    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  domestic  gas
processing activity.  Also reported in this 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
$36 million in the third quarter of 1995 and $19 million  in
the  same  period in 1994.  The earnings from this  business
unit increased in the third quarter of 1995 primarily due to
increased  earnings  related to  electricity  marketing  and
ECT's  physical  gas  assets.  This was somewhat  offset  by
decreased earnings from clean fuels activities.

     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.  Third quarter earnings before
overhead expenses from this unit decreased from $44  million
in  1994  to  $31  million in 1995 primarily  due  to  lower
earnings  from  long-term contracts with  independent  power
plants.

    ECT's  finance operations provide capital  to  customers
through various product offerings.  Earnings before overhead
expenses  from this unit increased from $11 million  in  the
third quarter of 1994 to $19 million in the third quarter of
1995, primarily due to the partial sale of its interests  in
certain equity investments.

    ECT's  overhead expenses such as rent, systems  expenses
and  other support group costs were $26 million in the third
quarter of 1995 and $30 million in the same period in  1994.
These  costs decreased by 14% in the third quarter  of  1995
due to timing of certain expenses in the current year.

INTERNATIONAL GAS AND POWER SERVICES

    The  international segment includes  earnings  from  the
development and promotion of natural gas pipeline and  power
projects, commercial power generation activities outside  of
North  America  and  activities  of  Enron  Global  Power  &
Pipelines  L.L.C.  The segment's IBIT increased $17  million
during  the  third quarter of 1995 as compared to  the  same
period  in  1994.   The  following discussion  analyzes  the
significant changes in the segment's results.

NET REVENUES

    Net  revenues (gross revenues less cost of gas and other
products)  for  the international segment increased  by  $29
million (159%) in the third quarter of 1995 as compared with
1994.   This  increase is primarily due to revenues  of  $24
million   which   were  recognized  as  a  result   of   the
satisfaction of Enron's support obligations related  to  the
formation of Enron Global Power & Pipelines L.L.C.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

    Operating expenses increased $2 million (12%) during the
third quarter of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994
primarily as a result of increased international activities.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased  $5  million
as a result of increased international project activities.

OTHER INCOME AND DEDUCTIONS

     Equity   in  earnings  of  unconsolidated  subsidiaries
decreased  by  $1 million during the third quarter  of  1995
compared  to  the  same period in 1994 reflecting  decreased
earnings  from  the Teesside facility in the United  Kingdom
following the promotion of a portion of Enron's interest  in
its power assets in the first quarter of 1995.

EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION

    The  exploration and production segment's IBIT decreased
to $53 million in the third quarter of 1995 from $64 million
in  the  same  period  of 1994.  These results  include  the
impact of hedges placed by Enron on open commodity positions
not  hedged  by EOG.  The following discussion analyzes  the
significant changes in the segment's results.

    volumes  described  in  note (2),  net  of  transportation
    costs.

REVENUES

    The  exploration and production segment's gross revenues
decreased from $199 million in the third quarter of 1994  to
$183  million  in  the third quarter of 1995.   The  decline
primarily reflects a $30 million reduction in gains realized
on  sales  of reserves and related assets as a result  of  a
major sale completed in the third quarter of 1994.  Gains on
sales  of  reserves  and related assets totaled  $3  million
during  the  third quarter of 1995 compared to  $33  million
during  the  same  period  in 1994.   The  impact  of  lower
wellhead  natural  gas  prices was  mitigated  by  increased
wellhead  volumes and gains of $20 million on EOG's  natural
gas  commodity price hedging activities in the third quarter
of 1995 compared to $4 million in the third quarter of 1994.
Gains  related  to hedges placed by Enron on open  commodity
positions  not hedged by EOG totaled $16 million during  the
third  quarter  of 1995 compared to $11 million  during  the
comparable period in 1994.

     Because of significantly lower average wellhead natural
gas   prices,   U.S.  wellhead  natural  gas  volumes   were
voluntarily curtailed by an average of 150 Mmcf/d during the
third  quarter of 1995 compared to an average of 140  Mmcf/d
during  the  same  period in 1994.   The  effects  of  these
curtailments were offset by increased volumes resulting from
acquisitions made during 1995.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

   The cost of gas sold in connection with other natural gas
marketing  activities declined $14 million  (51%)  from  the
third  quarter of 1994 compared to the same period  in  1995
due  to lower average associated costs per Mcf and decreased
other natural gas marketing volumes.

    Operating  and exploration expenses for the  exploration
and  production segment increased $4 million (9%) during the
third  quarter of 1995 when compared to the same  period  in
1994  primarily  due to increased lease  and  well  expenses
reflecting   higher   volumes  and  expanded   international
activities.

    Depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A)  expense
increased  $2  million (3%) reflecting increased  production
volumes  partially offset by a decline in the  average  DD&A
rate from $0.79 per thousand cubic feet equivalent (Mcfe) in
the  third  quarter of 1994 to $0.68 per Mcfe in  the  third
quarter of 1995.  The decrease in the DD&A rate is primarily
due  to  an increase in the amount of North America  volumes
coming  from  lower cost fields, the disposition  of  higher
cost properties and increased international volumes at lower
than average domestic DD&A rates.

CORPORATE AND OTHER

    The  corporate and other segment's IBIT increased to  $3
million  in  the  third quarter of 1995  due  to  timing  of
certain  employee  benefit  and insurance  expenses  in  the
current year.

INTEREST AND RELATED CHARGES, NET

    Interest  and related charges, shown net of  capitalized
interest, increased from $65 million in the third quarter of
1994  to  $76  million in the third quarter of  1995.   This
increase  is  primarily  due  to  higher  debt  levels   and
increased interest rates.

DIVIDENDS ON PREFERRED STOCK OF SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

     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, 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. and  the
issuance  in March 1995 by Enron Oil & Gas - Carthage,  Inc.
of  19,000  shares of Non-Voting Preferred Stock, $0.01  par
value  (liquidation/redemption value of  $1,000  per  share)
with dividends payable at an annual rate of $70 per share.

INCOME TAXES

    Income taxes increased during the third quarter of  1995
as  compared  to  the third quarter of 1994 primarily  as  a
result  of higher pretax income and a decrease in tight  gas
sand Federal tax credits.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995
vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 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  net income for the nine months ended  September
30,  1995 (the 1995 Period) increased to approximately  $390
million as compared to approximately $345 million during the
nine months ended September 30, 1994 (the 1994 Period).  The
increase  in  consolidated  net  income  primarily  reflects
improved  income  before  interest, minority  interests  and
income   taxes  for  all  of  Enron's  operating   segments,
partially  offset  by higher interest and  related  charges,
dividends on preferred stock of subsidiaries and income  tax
expense.   Earnings  per share rose to  $1.55  in  the  1995
Period from $1.37 in the 1994 Period.

INCOME BEFORE INTEREST, MINORITY INTERESTS AND INCOME TAXES

TRANSPORTATION AND OPERATION

    The transportation and operation segment realized a  $19
million increase in IBIT for the 1995 Period as compared  to
the  1994  Period.  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  $99  million  (13%) during  the  1995  Period  as
compared  to  the  1994  Period.  The decrease  in  revenues
primarily  reflects  lower recoveries of certain  transition
costs  at Northern Natural.  Additionally, the reduction  in
Enron's ownership interest in EOTT in March 1994 contributed
to the decline in revenue.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

     The  cost  of  gas  and  other  products  sold  by  the
transportation  and  operation  segment  decreased  by   $23
million (43%) during the 1995 Period as compared to the 1994
Period  primarily as a result of decreased gas purchases  by
Northern Natural.

    Operating  expenses in the transportation and  operation
segment declined by $26 million (10%) during the 1995 Period
as  compared  to  the  1994 Period.  The  decline  primarily
reflects  lower operating expenses of the regulated  natural
gas  pipelines  due to lower transmission,  compression  and
storage  transition costs.  Additionally, operating expenses
decreased as a result of the decreased ownership interest in
EOTT.

    Amortization  of  deferred  contract  reformation  costs
decreased  $46  million  (71%) during  the  1995  Period  as
compared  to the 1994 Period primarily due to the completion
by  Northern  Natural of the recovery of certain  transition
costs in early 1995.

OTHER INCOME AND DEDUCTIONS

     Equity   in  earnings  of  unconsolidated  subsidiaries
decreased  by  $22 million (65%) during the 1995  Period  as
compared  to  the 1994 Period reflecting decreased  earnings
from EOTT and charges to reflect the termination by EOTT  of
its   West   Coast  processing  operations,  as   previously
discussed.

   Other income, net, increased $44 million primarily due to
gains  related  to the disposition of non-strategic  natural
gas processing and gathering facilities.

DOMESTIC GAS AND POWER SERVICES

    The  domestic gas and power services segment had  a  $19
million   increase  in  income  before  interest,   minority
interest and income taxes for the 1995 Period as compared to
the  1994  Period.   The following discussion  analyzes  the
contributions to IBIT for the segment's business lines.

    Volume  and  price  statistics  (including  intercompany
amounts) are as follows:

</TABLE>

     The  cash  and  physical  operations'  earnings  before
overhead expenses were $85 million and $104 million  in  the
1995  and  1994 Periods, respectively.  Earnings  from  this
business  unit decreased due to lower margins  for  physical
natural  gas resulting from less volatile market  conditions
due  to  mild  weather  in the first  quarter  of  1995  and
decreased  earnings  from  clean  fuels  activities.    This
decrease  was  partially offset by an increase  in  earnings
from electricity marketing and ECT's physical gas assets.

   Earnings before overhead expenses for the risk management
business  were  $115  million in the 1995  Period  and  $101
million in the 1994 Period.  This increase was due primarily
to  earnings related to long-term gas supply contracts  with
independent  power plants and the utility sector  (including
$19  million associated with the non-affiliated  portion  of
earnings  from a long-term gas supply contract  with  a  50%
owned independent power plant).

     ECT's   finance  operations  earnings  before  overhead
expenses  were $36 million in the 1995 Period compared  with
$8  million  for  the 1994 Period.  This  increase  was  due
primarily  to  the  finance  segment's  share  of   earnings
associated  with  long-term gas supply  contracts  with  the
independent power plant discussed above and the partial sale
of its interests in certain equity investments.

    ECT's  overhead expenses were $78 million  in  the  1995
Period  and  $74  million in the 1994 Period.   These  costs
increased  by  6% in the first nine months of  1995  due  to
continued expansion into new markets and increased  expenses
for insurance and employee benefits.

INTERNATIONAL GAS AND POWER SERVICES

    The  international segment's IBIT increased $29  million
(34%) during the 1995 Period as compared to the 1994 Period.
The following discussion analyzes the significant changes in
the segment's results.

NET REVENUES

    Net revenues for the international segment increased  by
$63 million (74%) in the 1995 Period as compared to the 1994
Period. Included in 1995 were $24 million from the promotion
of  a  portion  of Enron's interest in its power  assets  at
Teesside  in  the United Kingdom and increased net  revenues
from  the  natural gas marketing operations in  Europe.   In
addition,  revenues  of $48 million  were  recognized  as  a
result  of  the satisfaction of Enron's support  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 $12 million (28%) during the
1995  Period as compared to the 1994 Period primarily  as  a
result  of increased international activities.  Depreciation
and  amortization expense increased $10 million as a  result
of increased international project activities.

OTHER INCOME AND DEDUCTIONS

     Equity   in  earnings  of  unconsolidated  subsidiaries
increased  $6  million primarily as a  result  of  increased
earnings  from  Teesside  and improved  results  from  Enron
Americas'   Venezuelan  manufacturing   operations.    Other
income,  net decreased $16 million due primarily to  foreign
exchange  gains  realized  by Enron  Americas  in  the  1994
Period.

EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION

    The  exploration and production segment's IBIT increased
36% to $196 million in the 1995 Period from $144 million  in
the 1994 Period.  These results include the impact of hedges
placed  by  Enron on open commodity positions not hedged  by
EOG.   The  following  discussion analyzes  the  significant
changes in the segment's results.

</TABLE>

REVENUES

    The  exploration and production segment's gross revenues
increased  $12  million  (2%)  during  the  1995  Period  as
compared to the 1994 Period. The increase reflects gains  on
sales  of reserves and related assets of $63 million in  the
1995 Period compared with $52 million in the 1994 Period, as
well  as  increased crude and condensate volumes and prices.
The impact of reduced wellhead natural gas sales volumes and
prices was partially offset by the positive effects of EOG's
hedging  strategies which resulted in a gain of $51  million
from  natural gas commodity price hedging activities  during
the  1995 Period compared to a loss of $2 million during the
1994  Period.  Gains related to hedges placed  by  Enron  on
open  commodity  positions not hedged by EOG increased  from
$12  million in the 1994 Period to $43 million in  the  1995
Period.

    Because of significantly lower average wellhead  natural
gas   prices,   U.S.  wellhead  natural  gas  volumes   were
voluntarily curtailed by an average of 140 MMcf/d during the
1995 Period compared to an average of 110 MMcf/d during  the
same 1994 Period.  Sales of oil and gas reserves and related
assets net of purchases resulted in a reduction of 40 MMcf/d
in  delivered volumes during the 1995 Period as compared  to
the 1994 Period.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

   The cost of gas sold in connection with other natural gas
marketing  activities decreased $37 million (41%)  from  the
1994  Period compared to the 1995 Period due to lower  other
natural  gas marketing volumes and lower average  associated
costs per Mcf.

    Operating  and exploration expenses for the  exploration
and  production segment increased $14 million  (10%)  during
the  1995  Period  when compared to the  1994  Period.   The
increase   reflects   expanded   international   operations,
increased  exploration  activities,  impairments  associated
with  certain  offshore leases and higher  costs  associated
with certain employee related expenses.

     DD&A  expense  decreased  $24  million  reflecting  the
decrease  in production volumes noted earlier and a decrease
in  the  average DD&A rate from $0.81 per Mcfe in  the  1994
Period  to  $0.69  per Mcfe in the 1995  Period.   The  rate
decrease  reflects  increased production from  international
operations with lower average DD&A rates than North  America
operations.

    Taxes  other  than  income  increased  approximately  $4
million  primarily  due to a benefit realized  in  the  1994
Period  associated with reductions in state franchise  taxes
and  higher  production related taxes  associated  with  new
production in India in the 1995 Period.

CORPORATE AND OTHER

    The  corporate  and other segment's IBIT  increased  $13
million  from  the 1994 Period compared to the 1995  Period.
The  1994 amount includes a gain related to the sale  of  10
million  common units of EOTT and general and administrative
expense  reductions  realized in  1994.   The  1995  results
include  amounts  recognized  following  the  resolution  of
certain litigation in 1995.

INTEREST AND RELATED CHARGES, NET

    Interest  and related charges, shown net of  capitalized
interest, increased from approximately $202 million  in  the
1994 Period to $214 million in the 1995 Period primarily due
to higher debt levels and increased interest rates.

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 in August 1994, the  issuance
in  December 1994 of 880 shares of 8.57% Preferred Stock  by
Enron  Equity Corp. and the issuance in March 1995 by  Enron
Oil  &  Gas  - Carthage, Inc. of 19,000 shares of Non-Voting
Preferred Stock.

INCOME TAXES

   Income taxes increased during the 1995 Period as compared
to the 1994 Period primarily as a result of increased pretax
income and a decrease in tight gas sand Federal tax credits.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

   Cash provided by operating activities totaled $42 million
during the 1995 Period as compared to cash used in operating
activities of $63 million during the 1994 Period.

    Cash  used in investing activities totaled $478  million
during  the  1995 Period as compared to $591 million  during
the  1994  Period.   The decrease primarily  reflects  lower
equity  investments as compared to the first nine months  of
1994,  primarily as a result of investments in Citrus  Corp.
during  1994  in  connection with the  Phase  III  expansion
project.   This  decline was partially offset  by  increased
property  additions and lower proceeds from sales of  assets
and  investments.  Proceeds from asset sales during the 1995
Period primarily reflect sales of oil and gas properties and
non-strategic processing and gathering facilities.  Proceeds
during  the 1994 Period reflect amounts related to the  sale
of units in EOTT and oil and gas property sales.

    Cash  provided  by  financing  activities  totaled  $409
million  during the 1995 Period as compared to $713  million
during  the  1994 Period.  During the first nine  months  of
1995,  net  issuances of short- and long-term  debt  totaled
$622  million.   Proceeds  from these  issuances  were  used
primarily to fund capital and other expenditures and to meet
working capital requirements.

    In  November  1995,  EOG  and Enron  concurrently  filed
registration statements relating to (i) a public offering of
27  million  shares  (not including shares  related  to  the
underwriters'  over-allotment options) of EOG  common  stock
held by Enron and (ii) Enron notes which will be mandatorily
exchangeable  into  a  maximum of  10  million  shares  (not
including  notes related to the underwriters' over-allotment
option) of EOG common stock held by Enron.  The net proceeds
will  be added to Enron's general funds and are expected  to
be  used  to  retire existing indebtedness and  for  general
corporate   purposes.   See  Note  5  to  the   Consolidated
Financial Statements.

    Enron  is  able  to  fund  its  normal  working  capital
requirements  mainly through operations or, when  necessary,
through the utilization of credit facilities and its ability
to sell commercial paper and accounts receivable.

    Total  capitalization at September  30,  1995  was  $7.2
billion.   Debt as a percentage of total capitalization  was
47.3% at September 30, 1995 as compared to 44.2% at year-end
1994.   The  increase from year-end primarily  reflects  the
increase in debt levels as discussed above.
