                ITEM 1.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   (Continued)
                            EOG RESOURCES, INC.
                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  The consolidated financial statements of EOG Resources, Inc. and
    subsidiaries (the "Company") included herein have been  prepared  by
    management without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
    Securities  and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, they reflect  all
    adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a
    fair  presentation of the financial results for the interim periods.
    Certain   information  and  notes  normally  included  in  financial
    statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
    regulations.  However, management believes that the disclosures  are
    adequate  to  make the information presented not misleading.   These
    consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
    the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included
    in  the  Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for  the  year  ended
    December 31, 1999.

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
    accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States
    requires  management to make estimates and assumptions  that  affect
    the  reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and  disclosure  of
    contingent  assets  and  liabilities at the date  of  the  financial
    statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses  during
    the  reporting  period.   Actual results  could  differ  from  those
    estimates.

    Certain  reclassifications have been made to prior period  financial
    statements to conform with the current presentation.

    As  more  fully  discussed in Notes 1 and  14  to  the  consolidated
    financial statements included in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on
    Form  10-K,  the Company engages in price risk management activities
    from  time to time primarily for non-trading and to a lesser  extent
    for trading purposes.  Derivative financial instruments  (primarily
    price swaps and costless collars) are utilized selectively for  non-
    trading  purposes  to  hedge the impact of  market  fluctuations  on
    natural  gas  and  crude  oil market prices.   Hedge  accounting  is
    utilized  in non-trading activities when there is a high  degree  of
    correlation between price movements in the derivative and  the  item
    designated   as  being  hedged.   Gains  and  losses  on  derivative
    financial  instruments used for hedging purposes are  recognized  as
    revenue in the same period as the hedged item.  The gains or  losses
    are recorded in Net Operating Revenues for Natural Gas  and  Crude
    Oil,  Condensate  and  Natural Gas Liquids.   Gains  and  losses  on
    hedging  instruments that are closed prior to maturity are  deferred
    in the consolidated balance sheets and amortized over the original
    hedge  period.   In instances where the anticipated  correlation  of
    price  movements does not occur, hedge accounting is terminated  and
    future  changes  in  the value of the derivative are  recognized  as
    gains  or  losses  using  the mark-to-market method  of  accounting.
    Derivative  and other financial instruments utilized  in  connection
    with  trading activities and derivatives not designated  as  hedges,
    primarily price swaps and call options, are accounted for using  the
    mark-to-market  method, under which changes in the market  value  of
    outstanding financial instruments are recognized as gains or  losses
    in  the  period  of change.  The cash flow impact of derivative  and
    other   financial  instruments  used  for  non-trading  and  trading
    purposes is reflected as cash flows from operating activities in the
    consolidated statements of cash flows.

2.  On  August  16, 1999, the Company and Enron Corp. completed  the
    Share Exchange whereby the Company received 62,270,000 shares of the
    Company's common stock out of 82,270,000 shares owned by Enron Corp.
    in exchange for all the stock of the Company's subsidiary, EOGI-India,
    Inc.  (see  Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements  in  the
    Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K).

3.  Natural gas revenues for the three-month and nine-month  periods
    ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999, are net of costs of natural  gas
    purchased  for  sale related to natural gas marketing activities  of
    $16.2  million,  $13.7  million, $40.3 million  and  $48.0  million,
    respectively.

5.  The Company's total comprehensive income was $111 million, $514 million,
    $223 million and $549 million for the three-month and nine-month periods
    ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  The difference
    between net  income  and  total comprehensive income in the periods
    was primarily due to  a  foreign currency translation loss of
    $5 million, gain of $1 million, loss of $13 million and gain of
    $11 million for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30,
    2000 and 1999, respectively.

6.  During  the  first  quarter of 2000,  the  Company  completed  a
    property exchange with Burlington Resources Oil & Gas Company.   The
    acquired properties were assigned the net book value of the properties
    transferred of approximately $45 million, resulting in  no  gain  or
    loss.

7.  During  the first and second quarters of 1999, the Company  sold
    its 3.2 million options to purchase common stock of Enron Corp. having
    a strike price of $39.1875 per share.  In the first quarter of 1999,
    the  Company sold 1.6 million options at an average price of  $24.81
    ($64.00 Enron Corp. stock price equivalent), realizing net proceeds of
    $40 million and a gain of $28 million pre-tax ($18 million after-tax).
    Early  in the second quarter of 1999, the Company sold the remaining
    1.6 million options at an average price of $27.07 ($66.26 Enron Corp.
    stock price equivalent), realizing net proceeds of $43 million and a
    gain of $32 million pre-tax ($21 million after-tax).

9.  As  reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
    year  ended December 31, 1999, two stockholders of the Company filed
    separate lawsuits purportedly on behalf of the Company against Enron
    Corp.  and  directors of the Company, alleging that Enron Corp.  and
    directors of the Company breached their fiduciary duties of good faith
    and loyalty in approving the Share Exchange described in Note 2 above.
    The  lawsuits have been consolidated and seek to rescind  the  Share
    Exchange  or  to  receive monetary damages and costs  and  expenses,
    including reasonable attorneys' and experts' fees.  The Company, Enron
    Corp.  and directors of the Company believe the lawsuits are without
    merit and intend to vigorously contest them.

    There  are  various other suits and claims against the Company  that
    have arisen in the ordinary course of business.  However, management
    does not believe these suits and claims will individually or in  the
    aggregate  have a material adverse effect on the financial condition
    or results of operations of the Company.  The Company has been named
    as   a   potentially  responsible  party  in  certain  Comprehensive
    Environmental  Response Compensation and Liability Act  proceedings.
    However,  management does not believe that any potential assessments
    resulting  from  such  proceedings  will  individually  or  in   the
    aggregate   have  a  materially  adverse  effect  on  the  financial
    condition or results of operations of the Company.

10. In  June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
    issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133 -
    "Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities"
    effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.   In  June
    1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, which delays the effective date of
    SFAS No. 133 for one year, to fiscal years beginning after June  15,
    2000.  In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, which amends  the
    accounting  and  reporting standards of SFAS  No.  133  for  certain
    derivative instruments and certain hedging activities.  SFAS No. 133,
    as  amended  by  SFAS  No.  137  and  No.  138,  cannot  be  applied
    retroactively and must be applied to (a) derivative instruments  and
    (b) certain derivative instruments embedded in hybrid contracts that
    were  issued, acquired or substantively modified after a  transition
    date  to  be selected by the Company of either December 31, 1997  or
    December 31, 1998.

                            EOG RESOURCES, INC.
                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


    The   statement  establishes  accounting  and  reporting   standards
    requiring  that  every  derivative instrument  be  recorded  in  the
    balance  sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its  fair
    value.  The statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair
    value  be  recognized  currently in earnings unless  specific  hedge
    accounting  criteria  are  met.  Special accounting  for  qualifying
    hedges  allows  a  derivative's gains and losses to  offset  related
    results  on the hedged item in the statements of income and requires
    a   company   to  formally  document,  designate  and   assess   the
    effectiveness   of   transactions  that  receive  hedge   accounting
    treatment.

    The  Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001.  During
    the  third  quarter of 2000, the Company conducted an assessment  on
    the  Company's  current  derivative  and  hedging  activities.   The
    results of the assessment indicate that the adoption of SFAS No. 133
    will   not  have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company's  financial
    statements.

11. During  the  third quarter of 2000, the Company repurchased  1.7
    million  shares of common stock, primarily to reduce the  number  of
    shares of stock outstanding and to manage the dilution resulting from
    shares issued or anticipated to be issued under the Company's employee
    stock plans.  To supplement its share repurchase program, the Company
    had   previously   entered  into  a  series  of  equity   derivative
    transactions.  During the quarter, several of the put options written
    by the Company expired without requiring any cash outlay on the part
    of  the  Company.  Additionally, the Company closed  certain  equity
    derivative  contracts which were to expire in April 2001  by  paying
    $3.75 million to the counterparty.  These transactions are accounted
    for as equity transactions with amounts received and or paid recorded
    to Additional Paid In Capital in the consolidated balance sheets.  The
    Company had one million put options which it had written which  were
    still  outstanding at September 30, 2000.  The strike price of these
    options is $18.00 per share, and they expire in April 2001.

12. During the quarter, the Company completed two exchange offers for
    its preferred stock whereby shares of the Company's Series A preferred
    stock  were exchanged for shares of the Company's Series B preferred
    stock,  and  shares of the Company's Series C preferred  stock  were
    exchanged for shares of the Company's Series D preferred stock.  All
    preferred  shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn  prior  to
    expiration of the offers.  The Company accepted all of the  tendered
    shares and issued the respective series in exchange.

13. During  the  quarter,  the Company filed  a  shelf  registration
    statement  for the offer and sale from time to time of  up  to  $600
    million  of  Company debt securities, preferred stock and/or  common
    stock.   Such registration statement was declared effective  by  the
    Securities and Exchange Commission on October 27, 2000.  As of October
    31,  2000, the Company had sold no securities pursuant to this shelf
    registration.  When combined with the unused portion of a previously
    filed   registration  declared  effective  in  January  1998,   such
    registration statements provide for the offer and sale from time  to
    time of Company debt securities, preferred stock and/or common stock
    by the Company in an aggregate amount up to $688 million.

   The  following review of operations for the three-month  and  nine-

million  from the Share Exchange described in Note 2 of the  Notes  to
the  Consolidated Financial Statements.  Net operating  revenues  were
$394  million compared to $227 million for the third quarter of  1999.

           ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
      FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)
                          EOG RESOURCES, INC.

   Wellhead revenues increased 73% to $391 million in the third quarter
of 2000 compared to $226 million in the third quarter of 1999.

   Average  wellhead natural gas prices were up by 67%, increasing  net
operating  revenues by $120 million.  Average wellhead  crude  oil  and
condensate  prices  were approximately 58% higher than  the  comparable
period  in  1999,  increasing net operating revenues  by  $30  million.
Third  quarter 2000 wellhead natural gas deliveries were less  than  1%
lower  than  the comparable period in 1999, as the decrease in  volumes
due  to the transfer of producing properties in the Share Exchange  was
offset  by  increased deliveries in North America and  Trinidad.   (See
Note  2  in  the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements  for  a
discussion  of the Share Exchange.)  Wellhead crude oil and  condensate
deliveries  were 26% higher than the prior year period  increasing  net
operating  revenues by $11 million.  The increase is primarily  due  to
increased  North  American crude oil production from  the  East  Texas,
South Texas, West Texas, California and Wyoming areas, partially offset
by  the  transfer  of  producing properties in the Share  Exchange  and
decreased  Canadian crude oil production.  Natural gas  liquids  prices
and  deliveries were 37% and 53% higher than the comparable  period  in
1999 respectively, increasing net operating revenues by $5 million.

  Gains (losses) on sales of reserves and related assets and other, net
totaled a $4 million gain in the third quarter of 2000 compared to a $3
million gain in the comparable period of 1999.  Included in 2000 was  a
$7  million gain related to the sale of a coal lease, partially  offset
by a loss on a crude oil price swap of $3 million, calculated using the
mark-to-market method of accounting.

  Operating  expenses  of $190 million for the third  quarter  of  2000
were  approximately $90 million lower than the third quarter  of  1999.
Depreciation,  depletion  and amortization ("DD&A")  expense  decreased
$106  million compared to the prior year period primarily due to a non-
recurring  charge of $114 million in the third quarter of 1999  related
primarily  to  assets  determined no longer central  to  the  Company's
business, partially offset by increased natural gas and crude oil   and
condensate deliveries in North America and Trinidad.  Taxes other  than
income  were  $10  million higher primarily due to  increased  wellhead
revenues in North America and Trinidad.  Exploration and dry hole costs
were $6 million higher than the third quarter of 1999 primarily due  to
increased   exploratory  drilling  and  other  exploration  activities.
General  and administrative ("G&A") expense was $3 million  lower  than
the prior year period primarily due to non-recurring costs incurred  in
the  third  quarter  of  1999 related to the completion  of  the  Share
Exchange.  Lease and well expenses were $3 million higher primarily due
to  the increase in natural gas and crude oil and condensate deliveries
in   North  America,  partially  offset  by  the  transfer  of  certain
properties in the Share Exchange.

  The per unit operating costs of the Company for lease and well, DD&A,
G&A,  interest expense, and taxes other than income averaged $1.71  per
Mcfe during the third quarter of 2000 compared to $2.78 per Mcfe during
the third quarter of 1999. The decrease is primarily due to a lower per
unit  rate  of DD&A, G&A and interest expenses, partially offset  by  a
higher per unit rate of lease and well and taxes other than income. The
per  unit  operating costs of the Company were $1.56 per  Mcfe  in  the
third quarter of 1999, excluding the previously mentioned non-recurring
charges  in  DD&A and G&A.  The per unit operating costs of  $1.71  per
Mcfe  in  the third quarter of 2000 were $0.15 higher than the adjusted
per unit operating costs of $1.56 per Mcfe in the third quarter of 1999
primarily due to higher per unit rates of taxes other than income, G&A,
lease and well, and DD&A, partially offset by a lower per unit rate  of
interest.

  Other  income  (expense) - other, net for the third quarter  of  1999
included  an $18.7 million charge for estimated exit costs  related  to
the Company's decision to dispose of certain international assets.

  Income  tax  provision (benefit) decreased net income by $72  million
in  the  third quarter of 2000 as compared to an increase in net income
of  $29  million in the comparable period a year ago.  The increase  in
1999  was  primarily due to the tax-free net gain of $575 million  from
the  Share  Exchange  (see  Note 2 of the  Notes  to  the  Consolidated
Financial Statements).

   Wellhead  revenues increased approximately 65% to $971 million  in
the  first nine months of 2000 compared to $587 million in the first
nine months of 1999.

   Average  wellhead natural gas prices for the first nine months  of
2000  were  approximately 61% higher than the comparable  period  of
1999   increasing  net  operating  revenues  by  approximately  $276
million. Average wellhead crude oil and condensate prices were up by
93%,  increasing  net operating revenues by $105 million.   Wellhead
natural  gas  deliveries  for the first nine  months  of  2000  were
approximately 6% lower than the comparable period in 1999 decreasing
net  operating revenues by $26 million. The decrease in  volumes  is
primarily  due to the transfer of producing properties in the  Share
Exchange  and decreased deliveries in Trinidad, partially offset  by
increased  deliveries  in  North America.  Wellhead  crude  oil  and
condensate  deliveries were 13% higher than the  prior  year  period
increasing  net operating revenues by $13 million.  The increase  is
primarily  due to increased North America crude oil production  from
the  East  Texas,  South Texas, West Texas, California  and  Wyoming
areas,  partially offset by the transfer of producing properties  in
the  Share Exchange.  Natural gas liquids prices and deliveries were
91%  and  52% higher than the comparable period in 1999,  increasing
net operating revenues by $12 million and $5 million, respectively.

   Other marketing activities associated with sales and purchases  of
natural gas, and natural gas and crude oil price hedging and trading
transactions  decreased  net  operating  revenues  by  $15   million
compared  to a decrease of $13 million in the first nine  months  of
1999.   This  decrease in 2000 was primarily due  to  a  $7  million
revenue  decrease from natural gas marketing activities and  hedging
contracts closed in prior periods and a $6 million revenue  decrease
from  crude oil hedging contracts.  The $13 million revenue decrease
in  1999  primarily related to natural gas marketing activities  and
hedging contracts closed in prior periods.

   Gains (losses) on sales of reserves and related assets and other,
net  totaled a gain of $6 million in the first nine months  of  2000
compared  to a net loss of $2 million in the comparable  prior  year
period.   The  difference is due primarily  to  a  $6  million  loss
related  to  the  anticipated disposition of  certain  international
assets  in  the  first nine months of 1999 and  a  $7  million  gain
related  to the sale of a coal lease in the third quarter  of  2000,
partially  offset by a loss of $3 million on a crude oil price  swap
in  the  third  quarter of 2000, calculated using the mark-to-market
method of accounting.

   Operating  expenses of $539 million for the first nine  months  of
2000 were approximately $81 million lower than the comparable period
in  1999. DD&A expense decreased $102 million compared to the  prior
year  period primarily due to a non-recurring charge of $114 million
in  the third quarter of 1999 related primarily to assets determined
no  longer  central to the Company's business, partially  offset  by
increased  natural gas and crude oil  and condensate  deliveries  in
North  America.   Taxes other than income were  $23  million  higher
primarily  due to increased wellhead revenues in North  America  and
Trinidad.   Exploration and dry hole costs were $12  million  higher
than  the  first  nine  months in 1999 primarily  due  to  increased
exploratory  drilling and other exploration activities. G&A  expense
was  $21 million lower than the prior year period primarily  due  to
non-recurring costs incurred related to the completion of the  Share
Exchange,  costs  incurred  related to the  potential  sale  of  the
Company  and personnel expenses in the prior year.  Lease  and  well
expenses  were  $7 million higher primarily due to the  increase  in
natural  gas  and  crude  oil  and condensate  deliveries  in  North
America,  partially offset by the transfer of certain properties  in
the Share Exchange.

   The  per unit operating costs of the Company for lease and  well,
DD&A,  G&A,  interest expense, and taxes other than income  averaged
$1.67  per  Mcfe  during the first nine months of 2000  compared  to
$1.94 per Mcfe during the comparable period in 1999. The decrease is
primarily  due  to a lower per unit rate of DD&A and  G&A  expenses,
partially  offset by a higher per unit rate of lease  and  well  and
taxes  other  than  income.  The per unit  operating  costs  of  the
Company  were  $1.50  per Mcfe in the first  nine  months  of  1999,
excluding the previously mentioned non-recurring charges in DD&A and
G&A.   The  per unit operating costs of $1.67 per Mcfe in the  first
nine  months  of 2000 were $0.17 higher than the adjusted  per  unit
operating costs of $1.50 per Mcfe in the first nine months  of  1999
primarily  due to higher per unit rates of taxes other than  income,
G&A,  lease and well, and DD&A, partially offset by a lower per unit
rate of interest.

   Other  income (expense) - other, net for the first nine months  of
1999  included  a  $59.6 million gain on the  sale  of  3.2  million
options  owned by the Company to purchase Enron Corp.  common  stock
and  an $18.7 million charge for estimated exit costs related to the
Company's decision to dispose of certain international assets.

   Income  tax  provision (benefit) decreased  net  income  by  $144
million  in the first nine months of 2000 as compared to an increase
of  $19  million in net income in the comparable period a year  ago.
The  increase in 1999 was primarily due to the tax-free net gain  of
$575 million from the Share Exchange (see Note 2 of the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements).

Capital Resources and Liquidity

   The Company's primary sources of cash during the nine months ended
September   30,  2000  included  funds  generated  from  operations,
proceeds  from  sales of treasury stock and proceeds from  sales  of
reserves  and related assets.  Primary cash outflows included  funds
used   in  operations,  exploration  and  development  expenditures,
repayments  of  debt,  dividends paid to Company  shareholders,  and
common stock repurchases.

   Net operating cash flows of $612 million for the first nine months
of  2000  increased approximately $329 million as  compared  to  the
first  nine  months  of 1999 primarily reflecting  higher  operating
revenues and lower cash operating expenses.

   Net  investing cash outflows of approximately $449 million for the
first  nine  months  of 2000 increased by $203  million  versus  the
comparable  prior year period due primarily to increased exploration
and  development expenditures and equity investments  in  the  first
nine months of 2000 and the non-recurrence of proceeds from sales of
Enron  Corp.  options in the first nine months  of  1999,  partially
offset  by  increased  proceeds from sales of reserves  and  related
assets.  Changes  in Components of Working Capital  Associated  with
Investing Activities included changes in accounts payable associated
with  the  accrual  of exploration and development expenditures  and
changes in inventories which represent materials and equipment  used
in drilling and related activities.

   Exploration and development expenditures for the first nine months
of 2000 and 1999 are as follows (in millions):

  (1) See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

   Exploration and development expenditures of $479 million  for  the
first  nine months of 2000 were $139 million higher than  the  prior
year  period  due primarily to increased exploration and development
activities in the United States and Trinidad, and an acquisition  of
oil  and  gas  properties  of approximately $83  million,  partially
offset  by  the  Share  Exchange and the  acquisition  of  producing
properties in the Big Piney area in the first quarter of 1999.

   The level of exploration and development expenditures will vary in
future  periods  depending  on energy market  conditions  and  other
related  economic factors.  The Company has significant  flexibility
with respect to financing alternatives and the ability to adjust its
exploration  and  development expenditure  budget  as  circumstances
warrant.   There  are no material continuing commitments  associated
with expenditure plans.

   Investing  cash flows other, net of $16 million outflow  for  the
first  nine  months of 2000 includes investments in the CNC  ammonia
plant in Trinidad and other investments.

   Cash  used by financing activities was $172 million for the  first
nine months of 2000 versus $25 million for the comparable prior year
period.  Financing activities for 2000 included repayment of debt of
$45  million,  repurchases of the Company's  common  stock  of  $197
million,  proceeds from sales of treasury stock of $92  million  and
cash  dividend  payments of $19 million.  Financing  activities  for
1999  included funds used in the Share Exchange of $609 million  and
dividend  payments of $14 million, partially offset by net  addition
to  long-term  debt  of  $22 million, net proceeds  from  an  equity
offering  of $578 million and proceeds from sales of treasury  stock

          ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
     FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Concluded)
                         EOG RESOURCES, INC.


   On  July  26,  2000, the $400 million credit  facility  that  was
scheduled  to expire was renewed for $375 million, thereby  reducing
aggregate  long-term committed credit from $800 million at  December
31,  1999  to  $775  million.  Credit facility  expirations  are  as
follows:   $375  million  in 2001 and $400  million  in  2004.  With
respect  to the $375 million expiring in 2001, the Company  may,  at
its  option,  extend the final maturity date of  any  advances  made
under the facility by one full year from the expiration date of  the
facility,   effectively  qualifying  such  debt  as  long-term.   At
September 30, 2000, there were no advances outstanding under  either
of these agreements.

   During  the  third  quarter of 2000, the Company  repurchased  1.7
million  shares of common stock, primarily to reduce the  number  of
shares  of  stock  outstanding and to manage the dilution  resulting
from  shares issued or anticipated to be issued under the  Company's
employee  stock plans.  To supplement its share repurchase  program,
the   Company  had  previously  entered  into  a  series  of  equity
derivative  transactions.  During the quarter  several  of  the  put
options  written by the Company expired without requiring  any  cash
outlay on the part of the Company.  Additionally, the Company closed
certain  equity derivative contracts which were to expire  in  April
2001   by   paying   $3.75  million  to  the  counterparty.    These
transactions  are accounted for as equity transactions with  amounts
received and or paid recorded to Additional Paid In Capital  in  the
consolidated  balance  sheets.  The  Company  had  one  million  put
options  which  it  had  written which  were  still  outstanding  at
September 30, 2000.  The strike price of these options is $18.00 per
share, and they expire in April 2001.

   Based  upon  existing  economic and market conditions,  management
believes   net   operating   cash  flow  and   available   financing
alternatives will be sufficient to fund net investing and other cash
requirements of the Company for the foreseeable future.

Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements

   This  Quarterly  Report  on Form 10-Q  includes  forward  looking
statements  within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities  Act
of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  All
statements  other  than statements of historical  facts,  including,
among  others,  statements regarding the Company's future  financial
position, business strategy, budgets, reserve information, projected
levels  of  production, projected costs and plans and objectives  of
management  for  future operations, are forward-looking  statements.
The  Company  typically  uses words such as "expect,"  "anticipate,"
"estimate,"  "strategy,"  "intend,"  "plan"  and  "believe"  or  the
negative of those terms or other variations of them or by comparable
terminology   to   identify  its  forward-looking  statements.    In
particular,  statements,  express  or  implied,  concerning   future
operating  results or the ability to generate income or  cash  flows
are  forward-looking statements.  Although the Company believes  its
expectations  reflected in forward-looking statements are  based  on
reasonable  assumptions,  no  assurance  can  be  given  that  these
expectations will be achieved.  Important factors that  could  cause
actual  results to differ materially from the expectations reflected
in  the forward-looking statements include, among others: timing and
extent of changes in commodity prices for crude oil, natural gas and
related products and interest rates; extent of the Company's success
in  discovering, developing, marketing and producing reserves and in
acquiring oil and gas properties; political developments around  the
world; and financial market conditions.

   In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events
anticipated  by the Company's forward-looking statements  might  not
occur.   The Company undertakes no obligations to update  or  revise
its   forward-looking  statements,  whether  as  a  result  of   new
information, future events or otherwise.
