ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

On July 1, 2000, Phillips Petroleum Company, a Delaware corporation
(Phillips), Chevron Corporation, a Delaware corporation (Chevron), and
Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(CPC) consummated the combination of certain of Phillips' and Chevron's
chemicals businesses in CPC. Phillips and Chevron, directly or through direct or
indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, each own 50 percent of the voting and
economic interests in CPC.

In connection with the combination, CPC borrowed $1.67 billion. The proceeds of
the borrowing were used to make cash distributions of $835 million each to both
Phillips and Chevron. Also in connection with the combination, Phillips made a
$70 million cash advance to CPC. This non-interest-bearing advance is subject to
adjustment depending upon the production volume thresholds achieved by the
K-Resin styrene-butadiene copolymer (K-Resin) operations. The net amount of
the advance will be treated as part of Phillips' initial capital contribution.

The Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Chevron
Phillips Chemical Company LLC, dated as of July 1, 2000, by and between
Phillips, Chevron, Chevron U.S.A. Inc., Chevron Overseas Petroleum Inc.,
Chevron Pipe Line Company, Drilling Specialties Co., WesTTex 66 Pipeline Co.,
and Phillips Petroleum International Corporation, is attached hereto as
Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

(b)  Pro Forma Financial Information.

      Basis of Presentation

      The following unaudited pro forma financial statements have been prepared
      from the historical financial statements of Phillips, adjusted to reflect
      the contribution to, and participation in, CPC. For presentation purposes,
      the transaction has been reflected in two parts--Phillips' disposition of
      its Chemicals business and simultaneous acquisition of a 50 percent equity
      interest in CPC.

      The unaudited pro forma income statements were prepared assuming the
      combination occurred January 1, 1999, while the unaudited pro forma
      balance sheet was prepared as if the combination occurred March 31, 2000.




                                       1


<PAGE>


      Phillips' historical consolidated income statements for the year ended
      December 31, 1999, and the three months ended March 31, 2000, have been
      adjusted on a pro forma basis to reflect:

      o  The March 31, 2000, disposition of Phillips' gas gathering, processing
         and marketing business and its acquisition of 30.3 percent of Duke
         Energy Field Services LLC. The unaudited pro forma impact of this
         transaction on the year ended December 31, 1999, was reported in
         Phillips' Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 13, 2000. The
         impact on the three months ended March 31, 2000, was reported in
         Phillips' Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 18, 2000.

      o  The acquisition of all of Atlantic Richfield Company's Alaskan
         businesses (ARCO Alaska).  On April 26, 2000, Phillips completed
         the purchase of all of ARCO's Alaskan oil and gas properties and
         those related to marine assets that were operating at that time.
         Phillips expects to complete the balance of the acquisition in the
         third quarter of 2000.  The unaudited pro forma impact of the total
         acquisition on the year ended December 31, 1999, and the three
         months ended March 31, 2000, was reported in Phillips' Current
         Report on Form 8-K filed on May 18, 2000.

      Phillips' historical consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2000, was
      adjusted on a pro forma basis to reflect the total ARCO Alaska
      acquisition, as reported in Phillips' Current Report on Form 8-K filed on
      May 18, 2000.

      This pro forma financial information is not intended to reflect results
      from operations or the financial position which would have actually
      resulted had the combination been effected on the dates indicated.
      Moreover, this pro forma information is not intended to be indicative of
      results of operations or financial position which may be obtained in the
      future.

      This pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with
      the historical financial statements included in Phillips' Annual Report on
      Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999, as amended, and its
      Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2000.
      The pro forma adjustments use estimates and assumptions based on currently
      available information. Management believes that the estimates and
      assumptions are reasonable, and that the significant effects of the
      transactions are properly reflected. However, actual results may differ
      from the estimates and assumptions used.

      This pro forma financial information does not include anticipated
      synergies from operating efficiencies which Phillips expects to result
      from the formation of CPC, nor does it include any anticipated benefit
      from Phillips' receipt of $835 million in cash upon the closing of the
      transaction. Management estimates that if debt bearing an estimated
      interest rate of 7 percent had been paid off on January 1, 1999, using the
      $835 million cash receipt, it would have increased 1999 pro forma net
      income by approximately $44 million and first quarter 2000 pro forma net
      income by approximately $11 million.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA                        PHILLIPS PETROLEUM COMPANY
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(a)   Phillips' historical income statements for the year ended December 31,
      1999, and the three months ended March 31, 2000, have been adjusted on a
      pro forma basis to reflect the disposition of Phillips' gas gathering,
      processing and marketing business, and its acquisition of a 30.3 percent
      interest in Duke Energy Field Services LLC; and the acquisition of ARCO
      Alaska. Phillips' historical balance sheet at March 31, 2000, has been
      adjusted for the ARCO Alaska acquisition. See pages 1 and 2 of this
      Form 8-K for further information on these adjustments.

(b)   Adjustment to remove Phillips' Chemicals business from consolidation.

(c)   Adjustment to include $42 million and $205 million in earnings from
      Phillips' 50 percent equity interest in CPC for the three months ended
      March 31, 2000, and the year ended December 31, 1999, respectively. The
      estimate of 1999 and first quarter 2000 earnings for CPC is based upon pro
      forma financial results of CPC as if Phillips' and Chevron's chemicals
      businesses had been contributed to it on January 1, 1999. Earnings have
      been reduced by $1 million and $2 million adjustments for the amortization
      of the basis difference between the book value of Phillips' contribution
      to CPC and its 50 percent interest in the equity of CPC for the three
      months ended March 31, 2000, and the year ended December 31, 1999,
      respectively. This difference is expected to be amortized over 20 years.
      Income taxes on these adjustments to earnings were calculated at an
      estimated rate of 38 percent.

(d)   The company estimates that if debt bearing an estimated interest rate of
      7 percent had been paid off on January 1, 1999, using the $835 million
      cash receipt, it would have increased 1999 pro forma net income by
      approximately $44 million and first quarter 2000 pro forma net income by
      approximately $11 million. However, that benefit is not reflected as a pro
      forma adjustment since it is not directly attributable to the transaction
      presented.

(e)   Adjustment to reflect Phillips' receipt of $835 million in cash from CPC
      upon the closing of the transaction. In connection with the combination,
      Phillips advanced $70 million to CPC. This non-interest-bearing advance is
      subject to adjustment depending upon the production volume thresholds
      achieved by the K-Resin operations. The net amount of the advance will be
      treated as part of Phillips' initial capital contribution.

(f)   Adjustment to reflect acquisition of investment in CPC at carryover value
      and impacts of cash activity described in note (e).
