             REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS






To the Administrative Committee,
Pennzoil Company Savings and
Investment Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available
for benefits of the Pennzoil Company Savings and Investment Plan
(the Plan) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the
year ended December 31, 1995.  These financial statements and the
schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the Plan's
administrative committee.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by the Plan's administrative committee, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for
benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended
December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules
of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1995, included
as Schedule I, and reportable transactions (series of investment
transactions) for the year ended December 31, 1995, included as
Schedule II, are presented for purposes of additional analysis
and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but
are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's
Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The Fund Information in
the statements of net assets available for benefits and statement of
changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for
benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund.
The supplemental schedules and Fund Information have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

           PENNZOIL COMPANY SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN


                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN:

General

The Pennzoil Company Savings and Investment Plan (the Plan) was
established effective December 20, 1986, by Pennzoil Company.  The
purpose of the Plan is to encourage employees of Pennzoil Company
and participating subsidiaries and affiliated companies
(collectively referred to as Pennzoil) to save, and invest
systematically, a portion of their current compensation in order
that they may have an additional source of income upon their
retirement or disability, or for their families in the event of
their death.

Each person employed by Pennzoil as of December 20, 1986 (effective
date), who was a member of the Pennzoil Company and Participating
Companies Employees Stock Purchase Plan (Pennzoil Stock Purchase
Plan) or the Employee Stock Ownership Plan of Pennzoil Company
(Pennzoil Stock Ownership Plan), became eligible to participate in
the Plan on that date.  All other salaried employees become
eligible to participate in the Plan on the effective date or entry
date coinciding with or immediately following their completion of
one year of service.  Effective January 1, 1989, the account
balances of all hourly employees (if such hourly employee was a
member of a collective bargaining unit to which the Plan had been
made available) were transferred to the Pennzoil Company Savings
and Investment Plan for Hourly Employees (Hourly Plan).  Upon
changing wage status, a participant's account balance is
transferred between the Plan and the Hourly Plan.  Such transfers
are reflected at current value as of the date of transfer in the
accompanying financial statements.

Effective October 24, 1986, the Pennzoil Stock Purchase Plan and
Pennzoil Stock Ownership Plan were terminated.  As a result of
these terminations, participants were able to elect to receive all
Pennzoil Company common stock (Common Stock) and Battle Mountain
Gold Company common stock (Battle Mountain Stock), as well as the
cash value of any related fractional shares, or to transfer such
vested amounts to the Plan.

In January 1990, Pennzoil acquired 80 percent (on a fully diluted
basis) of the common stock of Jiffy Lube International, Inc.
Effective October 1, 1990, the board of directors of Pennzoil
approved the merger of the assets of the Jiffy Lube International,
Inc. 401(k) Plan and Trust Agreement (Jiffy Lube Plan) into the
Plan.  Accordingly, the account balances of participants in the
Jiffy Lube Plan were transferred to the Plan.  The Pennzoil Stock
Purchase Plan, the Pennzoil Stock Ownership Plan and the Jiffy Lube
Plan are collectively referred to as the Prior Plans.

The transferred amounts applicable to the Prior Plans are
maintained in separate accounts for each participant (Prior Plan
Accounts) segregated into amounts representing each participant's
employee and employer accounts under the Prior Plans (see
"Investment Choices" below).
<PAGE>
<PAGE>



Contributions

In order to participate in the Plan, an eligible employee may
authorize, by payroll deduction, a contribution of not less than
1 percent and not more than 12 percent of annual compensation.
Employee contributions may be made "after-tax" or, under a
Section 401(k) option, on a "before-tax" basis.  Pennzoil will
contribute an amount equal to 100 percent of the first 6 percent of
each employee's contribution.

Upon written request filed with the administrative committee, a
participant in the Plan or an employee of Pennzoil who is otherwise
eligible to participate in the Plan but who has not yet completed
the participation requirements may transfer an amount from another
qualified investment plan (Rollover Amount) into the Plan, provided
that such Rollover Amount is transferred in the form of cash.  The
Rollover Amount will be deposited in an investment fund and shall
at all times be fully vested and nonforfeitable and share in the
income of the investment fund.  However, such Rollover Amount will
not share in employer matching contributions.

Investment Choices

Employer contributions are invested solely in Common Stock.  At
Pennzoil's option, employer contributions may be made either in
cash or in Common Stock.  Therefore, the statement of net assets
available for benefits and statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits present participant directed and non-
participant directed activity separately.  During 1995, Pennzoil
contributed 218,232 shares of its Common Stock valued at the
average of the high and low market prices on the date of the
contribution.  All employee and employer contributions (other than
stock) are initially invested in interest-bearing short-term,
highly liquid investments and are classified in the accompanying
statements of net assets available for benefits under the caption
"Cash and temporary investments."

Participants who have attained age 55 may direct all or a part of their
existing employer contributions to be invested among the various
investment options.  Employee contributions are invested as
designated by participating employees in the following investment
funds:


      Fund Name                        Type of Investments(s)
- --------------------------       ----------------------------------

I.   Merrill Lynch Retirement    Invests primarily in guaranteed investment
     Preservation Trust          contracts (generally with insurance companies
                                 or banks which agree to return principal
                                 and a stated rate of return over a specified
                                 period of time) and U.S. Government and U.S.
                                 Government Agency securities.

II.  J. P. Morgan Institutional  Normally, at least 65% of the fund's assets
     Bond Fund                   will be represented by investment in
                                 securities rated "A" or better by a major
                                 ratings agency.  The fund's duration
                                 (a measure of average maturity) ranges
                                 between 3-1/2 and 5-1/2 years.

III.  Fidelity Advisor Income   Invests in a diversified portfolio of
      and Growth Fund           equity and fixed-income securities
                                with income, growth of income and capital
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
                                appreciation potential.

IV.  Merrill Lynch Equity       Consists of common stocks that, to
     Index Trust                the extent possible, duplicate the
                                composition of Standard & Poor's Index
                                of 500 stocks.

V.  Davis New York Venture      Invests primarily in common stock and
    Fund (formerly New York     securities convertible into common
    Venture Fund)               stock.  The fund ordinarily invests in
                                securities which management believes
                                have above-average appreciation
                                potential.

VI.  Company Stock Fund         Common stock of Pennzoil Company


Under the terms of the Plan, Prior Plan Accounts are not commingled
with other Plan assets for investment purposes, are not allocated
investment income from other Plan assets and are not allocated
employer contributions.  In addition, amounts transferred to the
Plan from the Pennzoil Stock Purchase Plan and Pennzoil Stock
Ownership Plan must remain invested in Common Stock and Battle
Mountain Stock.  Amounts transferred from the employer account of
the Jiffy Lube Plan must remain invested in Common Stock while
amounts transferred from the employee account may be invested in
any one of the six options described above.  Dividends or other
income earned on shares of Common Stock and Battle Mountain Stock
in the Prior Plan Accounts are required to be reinvested in Common
Stock.  Participants are fully vested in such Prior Plan Accounts
and will receive distributions upon giving written notice to the
administrative committee for withdrawals or upon termination of
employment.  Included in Prior Plan Accounts at December 31, 1995
and 1994, respectively, are 78,293 and 95,260 shares of Common
Stock and 21,169 and 24,717 shares of Battle Mountain Stock which
have been reflected in the Non-Participant Directed Company Stock
Fund in the accompanying financial statements.  The fair value of
the Common Stock was $3,307,897 at December 31, 1995, and
$4,203,348 at December 31, 1994.  The fair value of the Battle
Mountain Stock was $179,938 at December 31, 1995,  and $271,883 at
December 31, 1994.

Loans

A participant may apply to the administrative committee of the Plan
to borrow from his accounts, subject to certain limitations.  Such
loans will be for a term not to exceed five years (20 years in the
case of loans to purchase a primary residence) and cannot exceed
the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of the participant's account
balances.

Participant loans are reported as an asset of the Loan Fund and
principal and interest payments received are transferred to the
investment funds based on the participant's current contribution
elections.

Vesting and Disposition of Forfeitures

Participants are always fully vested in employee contributions.
Participants vest in employer contributions at a rate of 25 percent
per year beginning at the end of two years of service, becoming
fully vested after five years of service or attainment of age 55.
Any nonvested portion of employer contributions shall be forfeited
upon termination.  Forfeitures shall be allocated as follows:
first, to reinstate any employer contribution amounts of
participants who return to service and second, to restore any
amounts previously forfeited as unclaimed benefits.  Any remaining
amounts are applied to reduce succeeding employer contributions.

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

Withdrawals

Withdrawals may be made from either of an employee's previous pre-
tax or after-tax contributions, net of previous withdrawals, upon
written notice to the administrative committee.  After-tax
withdrawals cause the participants to forfeit the right to
participate in the Plan for 180 days, while pre-tax withdrawals are
allowed only when the participant is age 59-1/2 or older, unless a
financial hardship exists.  Hardship withdrawals will cause the
participants to be suspended from making further contributions for
365 days.  Withdrawals may be made from employer contributions only
if the participant is fully vested and only after withdrawing all
amounts from any Prior Plan Accounts and any Rollover Amounts, and
not being in a suspended status.

Distribution of Benefits

Benefits are payable to participants or their beneficiaries at
retirement, permanent disability, death or termination of service.

Plan Administration

The Plan is administered by an administrative committee consisting
of at least three members appointed by the board of directors of
Pennzoil Company.  Merrill Lynch Trust Company (Trustee) is sole
trustee of the Plan.  All administrative expenses are borne by
Pennzoil Company with the exception of fees for investment
management and loan processing fees for participant loans.

The Plan is subject to reporting and regulations pursuant to the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Termination or Amendment of the Plan

The Plan may be terminated, amended or modified by the board of
directors of Pennzoil Company at any time.  Upon complete or
partial termination of the Plan, all amounts credited to the
accounts with respect to which the Plan has been terminated shall
become fully vested and nonforfeitable.


2.   SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are presented on the accrual
basis of accounting.  Amounts allocated to accounts of persons who
have withdrawn from participation in the earnings and operations of
the Plan are not recorded as a liability of the Plan but are
classified as a component of net assets available for benefits.
There were no such amounts outstanding at December 31, 1995 and 1994.
A  separate  account is  maintained  for  each participant
which reflects the participant's  contributions, net of
withdrawals, and the participant's allocable share of Pennzoil
Company's contributions and the Plan's investment earnings.


<PAGE>
<PAGE>

Management's Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires the plan's
management to use estimates and assumptions that affect the
accompanying financial statements and disclosures.  Actual results
could differ from these estimates.

Asset Valuation

The Plan's investments are reflected in the accompanying financial
statements at year-end current values, which represent fair values,
except for the Retirement Preservation Trust, which is stated at
contract value.  For the Company Stock Fund, fair value was
determined by using the closing price of the securities held as
listed on the New York Stock Exchange on the last trading day of
the Plan year.  Fair value of the mutual funds was determined based
on the closing price of the securities held by the collective fund
as listed on the applicable stock exchange on the last trading day
of the Plan year and the number of participating units held by the
Plan.  Contract value for the Retirement Preservation Trust was
determined based on contributions made under the investment
contract plus interest earned at the contract's rate less funds
used to pay investment fees charged by the insurance companies.

Realized gains (losses) are calculated based on proceeds from the
sale of assets and the current value of the assets at the beginning
of the Plan year or at time of purchase if acquired during the
current Plan year.  Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of
investments is calculated based on the current value of the assets
at the end of the Plan year and the current value of the assets at
the beginning of the Plan year or at time of purchase if acquired
during the current Plan year.

3.   FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:

The Plan received a determination letter on October 26, 1994 that
the Plan, as currently designed, is in compliance with the
applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the Code).  The Internal Revenue Service concluded that
the Plan is designed and operated in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the Code.  Therefore, the Plan was qualified and
the related trust was tax-exempt as of December 31, 1995 and 1994.
