              UPR SAYS PENNZOIL'S RESPONSE TO TENDER OFFER RESULTS
                   SHOWS DISREGARD FOR PENNZOIL SHAREHOLDERS


Fort Worth, TX - July 22, 1997 - Union Pacific Resources Inc. (NYSE: UPR)
issued the following statement from Chief Executive Officer Jack L. Messman on
Pennzoil Company's response to the results of UPR's tender offer:

"Pennzoil's response to the results of UPR's tender offer is nothing more than
an attempt to mischaracterize the overwhelmingly positive shareholder response
to our offer. We are disappointed that Pennzoil management, without any further
consideration, would irresponsibly disregard the will of its shareholders, who
tendered an extraordinary 61.5% of Pennzoil shares into our offer.

"Pennzoil's attempts to explain away this result will convince no one. The fact
is, by tendering their shares, Pennzoil shareholders embraced UPR's proposal
and asked Pennzoil's Board to take the necessary steps to allow UPR to complete
the transaction."
