        This Rule 13e-4 Issuer Tender Offer Statement (the "Tender
   Offer Statement") is being filed by Petroleum Heat and Power Co.,
   Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the "Company" or "Petro").  In
   accordance with an Offer to Purchase dated July 20, 1994 (the
   "Offer to Purchase"), included as Exhibit (a) to this Tender Offer
   Statement, and the accompanying Letter of Transmittal, the Company
   commenced an offer to purchase for cash all of the outstanding
   shares of its Class B Common Stock, par value $.10 per share (the
   "Class B Common Stock") at $17.50 per share net plus all accrued
   and unpaid Special Dividends (as defined) through the Expiration
   Date.  The Offer to Purchase and the accompanying Letter of
   Transmittal together constitute the "Offer."

        The Board of Directors of Petro has determined to exercise
   Petro's right to terminate the Special Dividends (as defined in the
   Offer to Purchase) on the Class B Common Stock, effective the
   Expiration Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase).  As a result
   of the termination of the Special Dividends, the Company's restated
   and amended articles of incorporation provides that holders of
   Class B Common Stock have the right to require that Petro purchase
   (the "Purchase Obligation") all of the issued and outstanding
   shares of Class B Common Stock at a purchase price of $17.50 per
   share plus all accrued and unpaid Special Dividends through the
   Expiration Date (which dividends would amount to $0.2763 per share
   assuming that the Expiration Date is August 31, 1994).  The Offer
   is being made by Petro in order to satisfy the Purchase Obligation. 
   The Purchase Obligation and the Offer terminate on the Expiration
   Date.

   
        The Company completed the Offer on August 31, 1994 at 5:00 p.m.
   The total number of shares of Class B Common Stock tendered pursuant
   to the Offer and accepted by the Company was 190,738 shares out of
   the 216,901 shares of Class B Common Stock that were outstanding. 
   The Company subsequently paid in cash an aggregate of (a) $3,337,915 
   for the shares tendered and (b) an aggregate of $52,701 in accrued 
   dividends on such shares.

        On August 31, 1994, the American Stock Exchange ("ASX")
   suspended trading of the Class B Common Stock pending an application 
   by the ASX to delist the Class B Common Stock from trading.
