Item 5.    Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class

           Not applicable.


Item 6.    Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another
           Person

           The Long-Term Stock Savings Plan (LTSSP) borrowed
           $250 million in 1988 and $400 million in 1990 to purchase
           Phillips Petroleum Company common stock (Phillips Stock).
           The LTSSP also holds shares purchased with contributions by
           participants.  In addition, the LTSSP holds Phillips Stock
           formerly held by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan of
           Phillips Petroleum Company (ESOP) and the Payroll Stock
           Ownership Plan of Phillips Petroleum Company Subsidiary
           Companies (PAYSOP), which were merged into the LTSSP in
           1988.  The total LTSSP shares as of December 31, 1997,
           consisted of 12,732,919 unallocated shares and
           17,446,774 shares allocated to participants.  The
           unallocated shares will be allocated to participants as the
           LTSSP loans are repaid.  Dividends paid on shares of
           Phillips Stock purchased with all participant contributions
           and on shares of Phillips Stock acquired with company
           contributions after August 4, 1989, become assets of the
           LTSSP and are included in the valuation of participants'
           accounts.  Dividends paid on the shares purchased with the


                                    2

           proceeds of the loans, on shares purchased with company
           dividend replacement contributions, and on shares
           attributable to company contributions which were acquired
           prior to August 5, 1989, in the ESOP, PAYSOP and LTSSP are
           used to repay the LTSSP loans.  Shares acquired with the
           two loans, in an amount equal to the value of dividends on
           Phillips Stock retained by the LTSSP for loan repayment,
           are allocated to and included in the valuation of
           participant accounts.  Under certain circumstances,
           participants have the right to make withdrawals or receive
           distributions from the LTSSP in shares of Phillips Stock
           and in cash representing the value of any fractional
           shares.  Shares of Phillips Stock held by the LTSSP are
           sold to make the cash payments representing any such
           fractional shares.

           In December 1995, the company extended the LTSSP to the
           year 2015.  Without the extension, allocations of stock to
           employees would have been completed in 2005 or before.  The
           new extension will require additional shares to be
           delivered to the LTSSP.  The LTSSP will be eligible to
           receive shares from the company's Compensation and Benefits
           Trust, also established in December 1995.

                acquired in the ordinary course of business and were not

                securities and were not acquired in connection with or as a
                participant in any transaction having such purposes or
                effect.
