                  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
               Financial Condition and Results of Operations


     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
the business section, consolidated financial statements, notes, and
management's discussion contained in the Company's 1993 annual
report on Form 10-K, and condensed consolidated financial
statements and notes contained in this report.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Cash flow from operations for the three months ended March 31,
1994 amounted to $26.7 million as compared to $21.8 million for the
same period in 1993.  Capital expenditures and partners'
contributions to the Company for the first quarter of 1994 were
$4.6 million and $14.3 million, respectively.  For the three months
ended March 31, 1993, capital expenditures and Company
distributions to the partners were $8.3 million and $12.6 million,
respectively.

     The Company's share of the 1994 Indonesian Joint Venture
expenditures is expected to be approximately $56 million of which
$38 million is anticipated for capital items.  During the first
three months of 1994, approximately $14 million was called by the
Joint Venture as compared to $18 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1993.

     The Company's ability to generate cash is primarily dependent
on the prices it receives for the sale of LNG, and to a lesser
extent, the sale of crude oil and LPG.  In the event cash generated
from operations is not sufficient to meet capital investment and
other requirements, any shortfall will be funded through additional
cash contributions by the partners.  The Company cannot predict
with any degree of certainty the prices it will receive in future
periods for its crude oil and LNG.  The Company's financial
condition, operating results and liquidity will be materially
affected by any significant fluctuations in its sales prices.

Results of Operations

                       Quarter Ended March 31, 1994
                 Compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 1993

     For the first quarter of 1994, revenues were $55.2 million,
compared to $58.3 million in 1993.  The decrease in revenues was
primarily attributable to a 15 percent reduction in the average
price per million BTUs received for LNG and a 15 percent decrease
in the realized price per barrel of crude oil.  The average price
received per million BTUs of LNG for the first quarter of 1994
decreased to $2.40 per million BTUs as compared to $2.84 for the
same period in 1993.  The average realized crude oil price fell
$2.71 to $15.64 per barrel in the first quarter of 1994 from $18.35

                 Management's Discussion and Analysis of
        Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued
                                    
                                    
per barrel in the first quarter of 1993.  The prices realized by
the Company for its products reflected the decrease in world wide
crude prices which occurred from the first quarter of 1993 to the
first quarter of 1994.  

     The Joint Venture's share of the LNG delivered from the
Bontang plant in the first quarter of 1994 increased to 120
trillion BTUs (40.8 net equivalent cargoes) from 107 trillion BTUs
(36.4 net equivalent cargoes) in the first quarter of 1993.  Total
LNG deliveries from the Bontang plant increased to 199 trillion
BTUs (69 gross cargoes)as compared to 165 trillion BTUs (58 gross
cargoes) in 1993.  The increased plant deliveries reflected the
recent completion of Train F and other plant improvements.  The
Joint Venture expects to deliver 135 net equivalent cargoes during
1994 as compared to 127 net equivalent cargoes in 1993.  Crude oil
volumes net to the Company decreased 7 percent to 428 thousand
barrels as compared to 461 thousand barrels for the quarter ended
March 31, 1993.  The first quarter benefitted from a favorable 
crude oil revenue final settlement from 1993 reflecting a
reallocation of certain capital expenditures from gas to oil.

     Depletion, depreciation and amortization increased $0.2
million due to the higher gas production volumes discussed above. 
The increase was offset by lower depletion rates resulting from a
higher level of reserves caused by fourth quarter reserve
additions.
     
     Indonesian income taxes in the first quarter of 1994 decreased
$0.3 million to $25.3 million from $25.6 million in the first
quarter of 1993.  The decrease in current income taxes was
primarily due to lower revenues and a favorable tax final
settlement from 1993.  Offsetting this, deferred taxes increased 
due to higher non-taxable revenues resulting from the 1993 revenue 
final settlements as discussed above.  The effective tax rates for
the 1994 and 1993 quarters were 79 percent and 70 percent,
respectively.  These rates are the aggregate of Indonesian source
income taxed at a 56 percent rate, and certain expenses
attributable to Unimar activities not deductible in the
partnership.  The increase in the effective tax rate for 1994 was
attributable to the loss on redemption of bonds as discussed above.

     Extraordinary loss on redemption of debt in 1994 included a
$3.1 million loss on the early redemption of the Company's 8-1/4%
convertible subordinated guaranteed debentures, due originally in
December 1995.  These debentures were repaid on January 5, 1994 in
the principal amount of $36.4 million.

Item 5.  Other Information

     Management, budgeting and financial control of Unimar is exercised
by a Management Board consisting of six members, three appointed by
each of the Unistar and LASMO (Ustar), Inc.  On April 28, 1994,
Enterprise Oil plc ("Enterprise"), an oil exploration and
production public limited company organized under the laws of
England, announced a proposed takeover bid for LASMO plc, the
parent company of LASMO (Ustar), Inc. which is one of the two
general partners of Unimar.  On April 28, 1994 LASMO's Board of
Directors advised shareholders to reject Enterprise's offer.

     The holders of the Indonesian Participating Units (IPUs) are
entitled to quarterly payments until September 1999 based on a
percentage of certain net cash flow generated by the Company's
interest in the Indonesian Joint Venture.  Revenues of the Joint
Venture are derived principally from the sale of LNG under long
term sales contracts principally with utility and industrial
companies in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan reduced by certain
expenditures and expenses of the Joint Venture and Indonesia Income
Tax.  See Note 3 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
of the 1993 10-K.
