ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

On July 14, 2000, Dakota Merger Corp., a Utah corporation ("Merger Sub") and a
wholly owned subsidiary of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("Anadarko"), merged (the "Merger") with and into Union Pacific
Resources Group Inc., a Utah corporation ("UPR"), pursuant to an Agreement and
Plan of Merger, dated as of April 2, 2000 (the "Merger Agreement").

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock, no par value, of
UPR ("UPR Common Stock") issued and outstanding, other than UPR shares held by
UPR, which were canceled and retired, was converted into 0.455 shares of
Anadarko common stock, par value $0.10 per share ("Anadarko Common Stock"). UPR
stockholders who would otherwise receive fractional shares of Anadarko Common
Stock instead were entitled to receive a cash payment for their fractional share
interest. The Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current
Report on Form 8-K, is incorporated by reference. Anadarko will account for the
transaction as a purchase.

Anadarko and UPR mailed a definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus (the
"Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus") to their respective stockholders on or about
June 1, 2000, which sets forth certain information regarding the Merger,
Anadarko, UPR and Merger Sub, including, but not limited to, the manner of the
Merger, the nature of any material relationships between UPR and Anadarko or any
of Anadarko's affiliates, any director or officer of Anadarko, or any associate
of any such director or officer, the nature of UPR's business and Anadarko's
intended use of the assets acquired in the Merger. Excerpts from the cover page
and pages 1, 4 to 6, 8 to 9, 26, 52 to 56, 59 to 60 and 75 of the Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus, which are filed as Exhibit 20.1 to this Current Report on
Form 8-K, are incorporated by reference.

ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS.

In connection with the Merger, Anadarko's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
was amended to increase the maximum size of the Board of Directors of Anadarko
(the "Anadarko Board") from nine to 15 members and increase the authorized
number of shares of Anadarko Common Stock from 300,000,000 to 450,000,000.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, George Lindahl III and four others who were
independent directors of the former UPR will be named to the Anadarko Board. On
July 14, 2000, Anadarko filed a Certificate of Amendment of its Restated
Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State, which
Certificate of Amendment is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form
8-K and is incorporated by reference.
