Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.


         On July 26, 1995, Quaker State signed a Definitive Agreement to sell
most of the assets of its Natural Gas Exploration and Production Division to 
Belden & Blake Corporation of Canton, Ohio for a purchase price of
approximately $56,000,000, subject to certain adjustments. The purchase price
was determined in arm's length negotiations. This transaction was completed on
August 9, 1995, with  net proceeds of $49,500,000 paid in cash at the time of
closing after estimation of certain adjustments. The sale included interests in
approximately 1,460 producing oil and gas wells, approximately 250,000 acres of
leasehold interests, approximately 250 miles of gas gathering lines, royalty
interests and gas storage rights and various inventories, equipment and rolling
stock used in oil and gas production activities. The assets sold are located in
the states of New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.  Final
adjustments to the purchase price are to be determined within six months of
the closing date. There is no material relationship between Quaker State  and
Belden & Blake Corporation, other than purchases by Quaker State of crude oil
in the ordinary course of business.

         Quaker State has either sold or is negotiating the sale, in several
transactions, of the remaining assets of the Natural Gas Exploration and
Production Division, consisting of a pipeline and timber rights. The estimated
net selling price is $19,400,000.
