               NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUE AND DIRECT OPERATING
                 EXPENSES FOR CERTAIN OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES OF
            COX & PERKINS EXPLORATION, INC. ACQUIRED BY SEITEL, INC.


Note A - The Properties

On June 24, 1996, DDD Energy, Inc. ("DDD"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Seitel,
Inc.,  acquired an additional working interest of approximately 28.5% in oil and
gas  exploration  and  production  properties  in  Wharton  County,  Texas  (the
"Properties")  from  Cox &  Perkins  Exploration,  Inc.  ("Cox &  Perkins")  for
approximately $25.2 million.  The effective date of the transaction was April 1,
1996.


Note B - Basis for Presentation

During the periods presented,  the Properties were not accounted for or operated
as a separate  division by Cox & Perkins.  Certain costs,  such as depreciation,
depletion and amortization,  general and administrative  expenses, and corporate
income taxes were not allocated to the  Properties.  Accordingly,  full separate
financial  statements  prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles   do  not  exist  and  are  not   practicable   to  obtain  in  these
circumstances.

Revenue and direct operating  expenses  included in the  accompanying statements
represent the net working  interest  acquired by DDD in the  Properties  and are
presented  on the  accrual  basis of  accounting.  Depreciation,  depletion  and
amortization, allocated general and administrative expenses and corporate income
taxes have been excluded.


Note C - Supplemental Oil and Gas Information (Unaudited)

Oil and Gas Reserves:  Proved reserves represent  estimated  quantities of crude
oil,  condensate,  natural  gas and  natural gas  liquids  that  geological  and
engineering data demonstrate,  with reasonable  certainty,  to be recoverable in
future  years from known  reservoirs  under  economic and  operating  conditions
existing at the time the  estimates  were made.  Proved  developed  reserves are
proved  reserves  expected to be recovered  through wells and equipment in place
and under operating methods being utilized at the time the estimates were made.

The following table sets forth estimates of proved reserves and proved developed
reserves of crude oil (including condensate and natural gas liquids) and natural
gas attributable to the Properties.  All 1995 reserve estimates presented herein
were computed from reserve  estimates  prepared by Forrest A. Garb & Associates,
Inc., independent petroleum reserve engineers, in connection with Seitel, Inc.'s
Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31,  1995.  It should be noted that these
reserve  quantities  are estimates and may be subject to  substantial  upward or
downward  revisions.  The estimates  were based on the most current and reliable
information  available  at December 31, 1995;  however,  additional  information
obtained through future production and experience and additional  development of
existing  reservoirs  has and  may  continue  to  significantly  alter  previous
estimates  of proved  reserves.  Subsequent  to December  31,  1995,  additional
exploratory and development  drilling was done on the Properties resulting in an
increase in the estimated reserves.

            COX & PERKINS EXPLORATION, INC. ACQUIRED BY SEITEL, INC.

Standardized  Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Oil
and Gas Reserves: The following table sets forth the standardized measure of the
discounted future net cash flows  attributable to the Properties' proved oil and
gas reserves as  prescribed by Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No.
69. Future cash inflows were computed by applying year-end prices of oil and gas
to the estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves. Future prices
actually received may differ from the estimates in the standardized measure.

Future   production  and  development   costs  represent  the  estimated  future
expenditures  (based on current  costs at December  31,  1995) to be incurred in
developing and producing the proved reserves,  assuming continuation of year-end
economic  conditions.  Future  income tax  expenses  were  computed  by applying
statutory  income tax rates to the  difference  between  pre-tax  net cash flows
relating to the  Properties'  proved oil and gas  reserves  and the tax basis of
proved oil and gas  properties,  adjusted  for tax credits and  allowances.  The
resulting annual net cash flows were then discounted to present value amounts by
applying a 10 percent annual discount factor.

                    NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
                        FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


Note A - Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated  statements of operations reflect
the  combination of Seitel,  Inc.'s  historical  results of operations  with the
historical  revenue  and  direct  operating  expenses  of  certain  oil  and gas
properties acquired from Cox and Perkins  Exploration,  Inc. (the "Properties").
Such statements of operations  reflect income from  continuing  operations as if
the  acquisition  of the  Properties  occurred at the  beginning  of the periods
presented.

A pro forma  balance  sheet has not been  presented  as the  acquisition  of the
Properties  was reflected in Seitel,  Inc.'s  balance sheet as of June 30, 1996,
included in Seitel,  Inc.'s From 10-Q for the  quarterly  period  ended June 30,
1996.

The pro forma data are based on assumptions and include adjustments as explained
in Note B below.  The pro  forma  data  are not  necessarily  indicative  of the
financial results that would have occurred had the transaction been effective on
and as of the dates referenced  above, and should not be viewed as indicative of
operations in future  periods.  The unaudited pro forma  consolidated  condensed
financial  statements  should be read in conjunction with Seitel,  Inc.'s Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended  December 31, 1995,  and Quarterly
Report  on Form 10-Q for the  quarterly  period  ended  June 30,  1996,  and the
Statements of Revenue and Direct Operating  Expenses included  elsewhere in this
Form 8-K.


Note B - Pro Forma Adjustments

The  unaudited  pro  forma  statements  of  operations   reflect  the  following
adjustments:

     (a)  To record incremental depreciation, depletion and amortization expense
          related to the purchase of the Properties.

     (b)  To record increases in general and administrative expenses as a result
          of the purchase of the Properties.

     (c)  To record  additional  income tax  expense  relating  to the excess of
          revenue over direct  operating  expenses of the Properties and the pro
          forma adjustments, assuming an effective federal and state tax rate of
          37 percent.
