                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (UNAUDITED)



   1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
                
    The 1993 Annual Report on Form 10-K of Burlington Resources
    Inc. (the "Company") includes certain definitions and a summary of
    significant accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with this
    Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The statements for the periods presented
    herein are unaudited, condensed and do not contain all information required
    by generally accepted accounting principles to be included in a full set of
    financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material
    adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations have been
    included.  All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.  The
    results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative
    of the results of operations for the entire year.

    Earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of common
    shares outstanding on a year to date basis.  The weighted average number of
    common shares outstanding was 130 million and 131 million for the first six
    months of 1994 and 1993, respectively.

ITEM 2.      Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
             Results of Operations

Financial Condition and Liquidity

The total long-term debt to capital (total long-term debt and stockholders'
equity) ratio at June 30, 1994, and December 31, 1993, was 30 percent and 24
percent, respectively.  In May 1994, the Company issued $300 million of 7.15%
Notes due May 1, 1999.  The net proceeds were used for general corporate
purposes, including acquisition of oil and gas properties, repayment of
commercial paper and other capital expenditures.  In July 1994, the Company
increased the capacity under its shelf registration statements from $200 million
to $500 million.

In July 1994, the Company established new revolving credit facilities to
replace the previous $900 million facility that was due to expire in June 1996.
The new credit facilities are comprised of a $600 million revolving credit
agreement that expires in July 1999 and a $300 million revolving credit 
agreement that expires July 1995, but is renewable annually by mutual consent. 
The new revolving credit facilities retain the same debt covenants as the 
previous credit facility.  As of June 30, 1994, there were no borrowings 
outstanding under the previous credit facility although borrowing capacity is 
reduced by outstanding commercial paper.  At June 30, 1994, the Company had 
outstanding commercial paper borrowings of $90 million at an average interest 
rate of 4.54 percent.

During the first six months of 1994, the Company purchased approximately
677,000 shares of its common stock for $28 million.  Since December 1988, the
Company has repurchased 24.7 million shares under three 10 million share
repurchase authorizations.

Net cash provided by continuing operating activities for the first six months
of 1994 was $240 million compared to $215 million for the first six months of
1993.  The increase is primarily due to lower interest payments and other
working capital changes partially offset by decreased operating income.

The Company is involved in certain environmental proceedings and other related
matters.  Although it is possible that new information or future developments
could require the Company to reassess its potential exposure related to these
matters, the Company believes, based upon available information, the resolution
of these issues, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a materially
adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations
of the Company.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures during the first six months of 1994 totaled $539 million
compared to $201 million for the first six months of 1993.  On April 26, 1994,
the Company acquired Maxus Energy Corporation's ("Maxus") 87.1 percent interest
in Diamond Shamrock Offshore Partners Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"),
including the general partners' interests in the Partnership.  In July 1994, 
the Company acquired the remaining 12.9 percent of the Partnership by merging  
the Partnership into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  In a separate 
transaction, the Company purchased an additional offshore property and one 
onshore property from Maxus.  The aggregate net purchase price, including the 
12.9 percent of the Partnership acquired by merger, was $375 million.

The proved and probable reserves acquired from Maxus are approximately 375 BCFE
of natural gas.  The acquired properties currently produce approximately 95
MMCF per day of natural gas and 4 thousand barrels of oil per day from 49
structures of which approximately 50 percent are currently operated by the 
Company.

Capital expenditures for 1994, including $375 million for the Maxus acquisition
and the remaining Partnership interests, are projected to be approximately $920
million and will consist primarily of reserve acquisitions, spending for
exploration and development of oil and gas properties and processing plant and
pipeline expenditures.  Capital expenditures will be funded from internal cash
flow supplemented, as needed, by external financing.

Dividends

On July 6, 1994, the Board of Directors declared a common stock quarterly
dividend of $0.1375 per share, payable October 3, 1994.

Results of Continuing Operations - Second Quarter 1994 Compared to Second
Quarter 1993

Income from Continuing Operations for the second quarter of 1994 was $33
million or $.25 per share compared to $134 million or $1.02 per share in 1993.
The 1993 results included $.50 per share from a gain on sale of the Burlington
Resources Coal Seam Gas Royalty Trust (the "Trust") units and $.09 per share
from a gain on the exchange of Company debt for Anadarko Petroleum Corporation
("Anadarko") common stock.  Operating income for the second quarter of 1994 was
$46 million compared to $69 million in 1993.

Revenues were $301 million for the second quarter of 1994 compared to $312
million in 1993.  Natural gas sales volumes improved 11 percent to 1,032 MMCF
per day which increased revenues $16 million.  Oil sales volumes improved 7
percent to 44.8 MBbls per day which increased revenues $5 million.  Gas and oil
sales volumes increased primarily due to continued development of the Company's
oil and gas properties and producing property acquisitions.  Processing and
transportation revenues increased $5 million primarily due to higher volumes.
The revenue increases were more than offset by an 11 percent decline in 1994
average natural gas sales prices to $1.58 per MCF and a 12 percent decline in
1994 average oil sales prices to $16.06 per barrel which decreased revenues $18
million and $9 million, respectively.  In addition, NGL revenues decreased $10
million due to lower sales prices and volumes.

Costs and expenses were $255 million for the second quarter of 1994 compared to
$243 million in 1993.  The increase was primarily due to a 10 percent
improvement in 1994 production levels which increased production and processing
related expenses $18 million and a $3 million increase in exploration costs
which were partially offset by an $11 million decrease in NGL product
purchases.

Interest expense was $22 million for the second quarter of 1994 compared to $18
million in 1993.  The increase was primarily due to the additional debt issued
in May 1994.

Other Income - Net  was $2 million for the second quarter of 1994 compared to
$128 million in 1993.  The second quarter of 1993 included a $108 million gain
on the sale of the Trust units and a $19 million gain from the exchange of
Company debt for Anadarko common stock.

The effective income tax rate was a benefit of 24 percent for the second quarter
of 1994 compared to an expense of 26 percent for the second quarter of 1993 and
17 percent for the full year 1993.  The second quarter 1993 tax rate is
significantly higher primarily due to the application of statutory tax rates to
the gains on the sale of the Trust units and from the exchange of Company debt
for Anadarko common stock.  Without the additional tax expense associated with
these gains, the second quarter 1993 effective tax rate was a benefit of 5
percent.  The higher beneficial tax rate in 1994 is due to increased
nonconventional fuel tax credits generated from increased coal seam gas
production.

Results of Continuing Operations - Six Months 1994 Compared to Six Months 1993

Income from Continuing Operations for the first six months of 1994 was $81
million or $.62 per share compared to $179 million or $1.37 per share in 1993.
Operating income for the first six months of 1994 was $115 million compared to
$136 million in 1993.

Revenues were $621 million for the first six months of 1994 compared to $629
million in 1993.  Natural gas sales volumes improved 10 percent to 1,015 MMCF
per day which increased revenues $27 million.  Oil sales volumes improved 4
percent to 43.6 MBbls per day which increased revenues $5 million.  Gas and oil
sales volumes increased primarily due to continued development of the Company's
oil and gas properties and producing property acquisitions.  Intrastate natural
gas sales increased $6 million primarily due to higher sales volumes.
Processing and transportation revenues increased $10 million primarily due to
higher volumes.  The revenue increases were more than offset by an 18 percent
decline in 1994 average oil sales prices to $15.01 per barrel which decreased
revenues $25 million and a $32 million decrease in NGL revenues primarily due
to lower sales prices and volumes.

Costs and expenses were $506 million for the first six months of 1994 compared
to $493 million in 1993.  The increase was primarily due to an 8 percent
improvement in 1994 production levels which increased production related
expenses $32 million.  Intrastate natural gas purchases and exploration costs
increased $8 million and $6 million, respectively.  These increases were
partially offset by a $33 million decrease in NGL product purchases.

Interest expense was $40 million for the first six months of 1994 compared to
$37 million in 1993.  The increase was primarily due to the additional debt
issued in May 1994 partially offset by the conversion of Company debt for
Anadarko common stock in April 1993.
