 (a)(18)          Published Message to Pennzoil Shareholders, published
                  July 24, 1997.




                                   HOUSTON...
                               WE HAVE A MANDATE!



       By tendering 61.5% of Pennzoil shares in response to UPR's offer,
             the owners of Pennzoil have sent a powerful message to
                         Pennzoil's Board of Directors.


                       Thank you, Pennzoil shareholders.


           You've told Pennzoil to negotiate a transaction with UPR.


      Now it's time for Pennzoil's Board to listen to shareholders and...


                              Do the right thing.

                                 
                                   [UPR LOGO]


This advertisement is not an offer to purchase shares of Pennzoil, nor is it an
offer to sell any UPR common stock which may be issued in a merger involving
Pennzoil and a subsidiary of UPR. The cash tender offer by a subsidiary of UPR
to acquire 50.1% of Pennzoil's common shares will be made solely by the Offer to
Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal. Any issuance of UPR common stock
in any merger involving Pennzoil and a subsidiary of UPR would have to be 
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and such UPR common
stock would be offered only by means of a prospectus complying with such Act.
