REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
Plan Administrator
Burlington Resources Inc. Retirement Savings Plan
We have audited the financial statements of the Burlington Resources Inc.
Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") as listed in the accompanying index on
Page 1. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits at December
31, 1993 and 1992, and changes in net assets available for plan benefits for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
As further described in Note 8, the 1992 and 1991 financial statements have
been restated to include accrued benefit payable in net assets available for
plan benefits.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules listed in
the Index on Page 1 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.
