Item 5. Other Events
During 1994 and thereafter the financial condition of Presidio
Oil Company (the "Company") has deteriorated significantly,
resulting in uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to
service its debt and continue as a going concern. As previously
disclosed, because of the Company's deteriorating financial
condition and because of its failure to satisfy certain interest
payment obligations, Events of Default have occurred under both
the indenture governing the Company's Senior Gas Indexed Notes
Due 2000 (the "Senior Gas Indexed Notes") and under the Company's
bank credit agreement. Additionally, Defaults, which the Company
anticipates will become Events of Default after applicable grace
periods have expired, have occurred under the indenture governing
the Company's 11.5% Senior Secured Notes Due 2002 (the "Senior
Secured Notes").
To eliminate its current cash flow deficit and improve its
financial condition, the Company is continuing to negotiate with
its bank lenders and with certain institutional holders of its
Senior Secured Notes, Senior Gas Indexed Notes, and 9%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2002 with respect to a
restructuring (the "Restructuring") of the Company's debt
obligations. Additionally, the Company is considering the
possible sale of its oil, gas and related assets in connection
with the Restructuring. A data room and procedures for providing
potential buyers with information as to such assets have been
established, and potential buyers have begun to review such
information. No decision has been made to sell the Company's
assets, and the Company is continuing to examine other
alternatives that may be available to alleviate its financial
difficulties, including a Restructuring wherein the Company would
retain all or most of its oil, gas and related assets.
Although the Company and its financial advisors continue to work
toward improving the Company's financial condition, no assurance
can be given that the Company will be able to successfully
conclude the Restructuring or any other arrangement currently
being considered to alleviate its financial difficulties and, in
addition, assuming that the Company is successful in respect of
concluding the Restructuring or one of the other arrangements
currently being considered, no assurance can be given as to the
level and value of the equity interest in the Company that may be
retained by its existing shareholders. If the Company is
unsuccessful in its current efforts to improve its financial
condition, it is likely that Events of Default under the
Company's indebtedness such as those described above will have
the adverse consequences described under "Ability to Service
Debt" in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995.

EXHIBIT 20.1
PRESIDIO CONSIDERS POSSIBLE SALE OF ASSETS
Denver, Colorado, June 30, 1995....PRESIDIO OIL COMPANY
(ASE:PRS/A) announced today that it is considering the sale of its
oil, gas and related assets in connection with the previously
announced discussions relating to a restructuring of the Company's
$225 million of public debt. A data room and procedures for
providing potential buyers with information as to the Company's
assets will be established in the near future.
A sale of assets in connection with a restructuring is just
one of several alternatives being considered by Presidio, and thus
no determination has as yet been made to sell the Company's assets.
"We intend to pursue the course of action that maximizes the
Company's value for all of its constituencies, including its
shareholders and creditors," said George P. Giard, Jr., Presidio's
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, "which may or may not involve
disposing of some or all of the Company's oil, gas and related
assets."
Presidio Oil Company is an independent oil and gas company
engaged in onshore oil and gas exploration, development and
production in the continental United States, primarily in Wyoming,
North Dakota, Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. Presidio's common
shares are traded on the American Stock Exchange.
