REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Partners of Sun Energy Partners, L.P. and
the Board of Directors of Oryx Energy Company:
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheet of Sun Energy Partners, L.P. and its Subsidiaries as of
March 31, 1996, and the related condensed consolidated statements
of income and cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
1996 and 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility
of Oryx Energy Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A
review of interim financial information consists principally of
applying analytical review procedures to financial data and
making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an
audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December
31, 1995, and the related consolidated statements of income and
cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in
our report dated February 19, 1996, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our
opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995, is fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated
balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Partnership's cash and cash equivalents increased by $3
million over the three months ended March 31, 1996. Cash flows
for the first quarter of 1996 included $83 million provided from
operating activities, $69 million used for investing activities
and $11 million used for financing activities. The $83 million
net cash flow provided from operating activities was comprised of
$97 million net cash flow provided from operating activities
before changes in current assets and liabilities and $14 million
of net cash flow used for changes in current assets and
liabilities. The $97 million net cash flow provided from
operating activities before changes in current assets and
liabilities was favorably impacted by increased crude oil and
natural gas prices and decreased operating costs. The $14
million net cash flow used for changes in current assets and
liabilities consisted of a $1 million increase in accounts
receivable and other current assets, a $6 million increase in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities and a $19 million
decrease in advances from affiliates.
The $69 million net cash flow used for investing activities
primarily consisted of $67 million used for capital expenditures.
The $11 million net cash flow used for financing activities
resulted from the scheduled payment of $3 million of long-term
debt and $8 million of cash distributions paid to unitholders.
A first quarter cash distribution in the amount of $.02 per unit
was paid in 1996. A second quarter cash distribution of $.07 per
unit has been declared by Oryx Energy Company's Board of
Directors and will be paid on June 10, 1996 to unitholders of
record on May 17, 1996. The cash distribution includes $.01 per
unit from divestment proceeds.
<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income for the first quarter of 1996 was $53 million, or $.13
per unit, compared to net income of $23 million, or $.05 per
unit, in the first quarter of 1995. Revenues for the 1996 first
quarter were $158 million versus $144 million for the first
quarter of 1995. In comparing the first quarter of 1996 to the
first quarter of 1995, crude oil and natural gas prices increased
while production decreased because of asset sales and normal
declines. Total costs and expenses decreased $16 million, or 13
percent, as a result of reductions in almost all categories.
Average net production of crude oil and condensate was 45
thousand barrels daily during the first quarter of 1996 compared
to an average net production of 49 thousand barrels daily for the
first quarter of 1995. The average crude oil and condensate
price in the first quarter of 1996 increased to $18.13 per
barrel, as compared to $16.26 per barrel in the same period last
year.
Average net production of natural gas for the first quarter of
1996 was 461 million cubic feet daily or nine percent lower than
average net production of 504 million cubic feet daily for the
same period in 1995. The average natural gas price for the first
quarter of 1995 was $2.03 per thousand cubic feet, as compared to
$1.69 per thousand cubic feet in the same period last year.
