                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors of
Union Texas Petroleum:

We have audited the accompanying Historical Summary of Union Texas Petroleum
Holdings Inc.'s ("Union Texas") interest in the oil and gas revenues and direct
operating expenses of the property acquired from Oryx U.K. Energy Company, a
subsidiary of Oryx Energy Company, for the year ended December 31, 1994
("Historical Summary").  The Historical Summary is the responsibility of Union
Texas' management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Historical Summary based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Summary is free of
material misstatement.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Summary.  We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Historical Summary was prepared for the purpose of complying
with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for
inclusion in Union Texas' Form 8-K/A) and are not intended to be a complete
financial presentation of Oryx U.K. Energy Company's interests in the property
described above.

In our opinion, the Historical Summary referred to above presents fairly, in
all material respects, Union Texas' interests in the oil and gas revenues and
direct operating expenses of the property acquired from Oryx U.K. Energy
Company for the year ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                       NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF
                     UNION TEXAS PETROLEUM HOLDINGS INC.'S
                INTEREST IN THE OIL AND GAS REVENUES AND DIRECT
                  OPERATING EXPENSES OF THE PROPERTY ACQUIRED
                         FROM ORYX U.K. ENERGY COMPANY


1.     OPERATIONS AND ORGANIZATION:

       The accompanying Historical Summary presents the oil and gas revenues
       and direct operating expenses which are historically attributable to the
       15.5% interest of Union Texas Petroleum Holdings Inc. ("Union Texas") in
       the Alba field ("the property") acquired from Oryx U.K. Energy Company,
       a subsidiary of Oryx Energy Company ("Oryx"), effective July 1, 1995.
       The property is located in the U.K. North Sea.

2.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

       Historical financial statements reflecting financial position, results
       of operations, and cash flows required by generally accepted accounting
       principles are not presented as such information is neither readily
       available on an individual property basis nor meaningful for the
       property.  Historically, no complete allocation of administrative
       overhead was made by Oryx to the property, and depreciation, depletion,
       and amortization was based on Oryx's basis in the property.
       Accordingly, the accompanying Historical Summary is presented in lieu of
       financial statements required under Rule 3-05 of Securities and Exchange
       Commission Regulation S-X.

       The revenues and expenses presented in the Historical Summary reflect
       certain operating policies and procedures which were followed by Oryx,
       but which may not be continued by Union Texas.  Revenues and expenses
       are stated on an accrual basis of accounting.  Only those items related
       to the direct operations of the property are included.  Allocation of
       overhead, administrative expenses and income taxes are not included.

3.     SUPPLEMENTAL DATA (UNAUDITED):

       Production for the year ended December 31, 1994 and the six months ended
       June 30, 1995 was 2,347,000 barrels and 1,870,000 barrels, respectively.
       Development costs incurred for the year ended December 31, 1994 and the
       six months ended June 30, 1995 were $7,047,000 and $3,128,000,
       respectively.

              NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
                                   STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On July 18, 1995, Union Texas Petroleum Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"), through
its subsidiary, Union Texas Petroleum Limited ("UTPL"), completed the
acquisition from Oryx UK Energy Company ("Oryx") of its 15.5% working interest
in Block 16/26 in the central United Kingdom North Sea, which includes the Alba
field.  UTPL paid Oryx approximately $270 million for the interest, subject to
certain closing adjustments.  The effective date of the transaction was July 1,
1995.  The Company funded the acquisition under its bank credit facilities and
its uncommitted and unsecured lines of credit.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial information has been included as
required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is provided
for comparative purposes only.  The accompanying unaudited  pro forma financial
statements give effect to the acquisition as if the purchase occurred at an
earlier date.  The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect
to the acquisition of the Alba field as if the transaction had been consummated
on June 30, 1995, and accordingly includes the increase to plant, property and
equipment of $313 million, resulting from the purchase price of $270 million,
financed through debt, and an offset to deferred income taxes payable of $43
million.  The pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations were
prepared on the basis that the acquisition was consummated prior to the
beginning of the periods presented.  The pro forma financial statements are not
necessarily indicative of the financial results that would have occurred had
the sale taken place at the above indicated dates, or of future results.  The
pro forma financial statements and notes should be reviewed in conjunction with
the financial statements, notes and management's discussion contained in the
Company's  1994 annual report on Form 10-K.

NOTE 2 - PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the
following adjustments described below:

(a)   Reflects the assets and liabilities associated with the acquisition of
      the Alba field based on the purchase price of the assets acquired,
      deferred taxes recorded with the purchase and debt incurred as a result
      of the transaction.

(b)   Reflects the historical oil  revenues and direct operating costs
      associated with the Alba field adjusted for certain insurance costs for
      the periods indicated and the reclassification of certain transportation
      costs.  The Company does not expect that selling, general and
      administrative costs will be materially impacted as a result of this
      purchase.

(c)   Reflects additional depreciation and depletion expense for the periods
      indicated resulting from the acquisition of the Alba field.

(d)   Reflects additional interest expense for the periods indicated associated
      with the increased debt attributable to the acquisition.

(e)   Records the income tax provision of the pro forma adjustments.

NOTE 3 - PRO FORMA SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL DATA - OIL AND GAS PRODUCING
         ACTIVITIES

Reserve estimation

The Alba field, operated by Chevron U.K. Ltd, commenced production in January
1994.  As a result of the acquisition, the Company recorded approximately 45
million barrels of oil equivalent ("mmboe") as proved reserves as of July 1,
1995, of which approximately 30 mmboe are classified as proved undeveloped.
The Company expects to incur about $30 million of development expenditures over
the next five years related to those proved reserves.  Over time, the Company
anticipates recording additional proved reserves from the field based on
production history and future development activity.

As prior year oil and gas reserve reports have not been individually prepared
for the Alba field, the Company has developed the following reserve disclosures
based on reserves at the date of acquisition, adjusted for production for the
six months ended June 30, 1995.

(a)   As prior year oil and gas reserve reports have not been individually
      prepared for the Alba field, the Company has developed the following
      disclosures based on reserves at the date of acquisition, adjusted for
      production for the six months ended June 30, 1995.   Future net cash
      flows were computed using year-end prices and costs and statutory tax
      rates adjusted for permanent differences, tax credits and allowances.

Changes in the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows for the
consolidated subsidiaries for 1994 and giving effect to the Alba field
acquisition as if the purchase had occurred prior to January 1, 1994 were as
follows:
