		      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

				   (UNAUDITED)



1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   The 1994 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 during the year.  The weighted average number of common
   shares outstanding was 127 million and 130 million for the first six months
   of 1995 and 1994, respectively.


2. RECLASSIFICATION

   The Company's 1995 revenues include amounts from the sale of NGLs, less the
   actual costs incurred to gather, treat, process and transport the
   hydrocarbons to market.  To conform to current presentation, the Company
   reclassified approximately $80 million of costs and expenses to revenues
   for the first six months of 1994.  The financial statements for previous
   periods include certain other reclassifications that were made to conform
   to current presentation.  The reclassifications have no impact on
   previously reported operating income, net income, or stockholders' equity.

3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

   On May 25, 1995, the 270th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas
   entered an order in a lawsuit styled Caroline Altheide, et al. v. Meridian
   Oil Inc., et al. which allows the suit to be maintained as a class action
   on behalf of all royalty and overriding royalty interest owners in all
   Meridian properties and all working interest owners in properties operated
   by Meridian who have received payments from Meridian at any time from and
   after December 1, 1986 based upon wellhead sales of natural gas to Meridian
   Oil Trading Inc.  The lawsuit involves claims for unspecified actual and
   punitive damages based upon alleged breaches of duties owed to interest
   owners because of the use of Meridian corporate affiliates to gather, treat
   and market natural gas.  The plaintiffs allege that Meridian's gas
   producing affiliates have sold natural gas to marketing affiliates at low
   inter-affiliate settlement prices which are then used as the basis for
   accounting to interest owners.  Plaintiffs also allege that Meridian's
   pricing includes inappropriate deductions of inflated gathering and
   transportation costs.  Meridian is vigorously defending this litigation and
   perfected an interlocutory appeal of the class certification order on May
   30, 1995.  This appeal effectively stays class action proceedings in the
   trial court until the appeal is completed.

   The Company and its subsidiaries are named defendants in numerous lawsuits
   and named parties in numerous governmental proceedings arising in the
   ordinary course of business.  While the outcome of lawsuits and other
   proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management expects these
   matters, including the above-described Altheide litigation, will not have a
   materially adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results
   of operations of the Company.

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, 1995, and December 31, 1994, was 35 percent and 34 
percent, respectively.  In March 1995, the Company issued $150 million of 
8.20% Debentures due March 15, 2025.  The net proceeds were used for general 
corporate purposes, including acquisition of oil and gas properties, repayment 
of commercial paper, capital expenditures and repurchases of the Company's 
common stock.

The Company's credit facilities are comprised of a $600 million revolving 
credit agreement that expires in July 2000 and a $300 million revolving credit 
agreement that expires July 1996.  The $300 million revolving credit agreement 
is renewable annually by mutual consent and was renewed on July 15, 1995.  As 
of June 30, 1995, there were no borrowings outstanding under the credit 
facilities although borrowing capacity is reduced by outstanding commercial 
paper.  At June 30, 1995, the Company had outstanding commercial paper 
borrowings of $162 million at an average interest rate of 6.26 percent.  The 
Company also has the capacity to issue $350 million of debt securities under 
shelf registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 1995 was 
$201 million compared to $240 million for the first six months of 1994.  The 
decrease was primarily due to lower operating income partially offset by $39 
million received in June 1995 from the sale of a receivable related to a claim 
resulting from the breach of a take-or-pay gas contract.

The Company continued its divestiture of marginal and non-strategic properties 
that began in June 1994.  The Company divested 1,156 working interest wells 
for approximately $21 million during the first six months of 1995.  In 
February 1995, the Company completed the sale of its intrastate natural gas 
pipeline systems and its underground natural gas storage facility, including 
gas inventory, for approximately $80 million.  Effective August 1, 1995, the 
Company entered into an agreement to convey its working interest in certain 
coal seam gas wells.  The gross proceeds from all 1995 property transactions 
are expected to exceed $250 million.

The Company is routinely 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.

<PAGE>

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures for the first six months of 1995 totaled $302 million 
compared to $539 million for the same period in 1994. Capital expenditures are 
currently projected to be approximately $580 million for all of 1995 and are 
expected to be primarily for the development and exploration of oil and gas 
properties and reserve acquisitions.  Capital expenditures will be funded from 
internal cash flow supplemented, as needed, by external financing.

Dividends

On July 12, 1995, the Board of Directors declared a common stock quarterly 
dividend of $0.1375 per share, payable October 2, 1995.


Results of Operations - Second Quarter 1995 Compared to Second Quarter 1994

The Company reported net income of $2 million or $.02 per share for the second 
quarter of 1995 compared to net income of $33 million or $.25 per share in 
1994.  Operating income for the second quarter of 1995 was $125 thousand 
compared to $46 million in 1994.

Revenues were $211 million for the second quarter of 1995 compared to $266 
million in 1994.  Natural gas sales volumes improved 11 percent to 1,149 MMCF 
per day which increased revenues $18 million.  Oil sales volumes improved 7 
percent to 48.0 MBbls per day and average oil sales prices improved 6 percent 
to $17.07 per barrel which increased revenues $5 million and $4 million, 
respectively.  Gas and oil sales volumes increased primarily due to continued 
development of the Company's oil and gas properties and producing property 
acquisitions.  These revenue increases were more than offset by a 30 percent 
decline in 1995 average natural gas sales prices to $1.22 per MCF which 
decreased revenues $55 million.  Additionally, intrastate natural gas sales 
declined $22 million due to the sale of the intrastate pipeline systems in 
February 1995.

Costs and expenses were $211 million for the second quarter of 1995 compared 
to $220 million in 1994.  The decrease was primarily due to a $19 million 
reduction in intrastate natural gas purchases primarily due to the February 
1995 sale of the intrastate pipeline systems.  The decrease was partially 
offset by an $11 million increase in production and processing related 
expenses resulting from a 10 percent increase in 1995 production levels.

Interest expense was $28 million for the second quarter of 1995 compared to 
$22 million in 1994.  The increase was primarily due to additional debt issued 
in May 1994 and March 1995 as well as higher outstanding commercial paper 
balances during the second quarter of 1995.

The effective income tax rate was a benefit of 108 percent for the second 
quarter of 1995 compared to a benefit of 24 percent for the second quarter of 
1994.  The higher beneficial tax rate is due to a pre-tax loss in 1995 
compared to pre-tax income in 1994.  In both 1995 and 1994, the beneficial tax 
rate is due to low pre-tax income (loss) relative to the amount of non-
conventional fuel tax credits earned.

Results of Operations - Six  Months 1995 Compared to Six Months 1994

The Company reported a net loss of $3 million or $.02 per share for the first 
six months of 1995 compared to net income of $81 million or $.62 per share in 
1994.  Operating income for the first six months of 1995 was $2 million 
compared to $115 million in 1994.

Revenues were $426 million for the first six months of 1995 compared to $541 
million in 1994.  Natural gas sales volumes improved 13 percent to 1,147 MMCF 
per day which increased revenues $44 million.  Average oil sales prices 
improved 12 percent to $16.76 per barrel and oil sales volumes improved 9 
percent to 47.5 MBbls per day which increased revenues $15 million and $10 
million, respectively.  Gas and oil sales volumes increased primarily due to 
continued development of the Company's oil and gas properties and producing 
property acquisitions.  These revenue increases were more than offset by a 34 
percent decline in 1995 average natural gas sales prices to $1.22 per MCF 
which decreased revenues $130 million.  Additionally, intrastate natural gas 
sales declined $45 million due to the sale of the intrastate pipeline systems 
in February 1995.

Costs and expenses were $424 million for the first six months of 1995 compared 
to $426 million in 1994.  The decrease  was primarily due to a $39 million 
reduction  in intrastate natural gas purchases resulting from the February 
1995 sale of the intrastate pipeline systems.  The decrease was partially 
offset by a $34 million increase in production and processing related expenses 
resulting from a 12 percent increase in 1995 production levels and a $4 
million increase in exploration costs.

Interest expense was $54 million for the first six months of 1995 compared to 
$40 million in 1994.  The increase was primarily due to additional debt issued 
in May 1994 and March 1995 as well as higher outstanding commercial paper 
balances during the first six months of 1995.

The effective income tax rate was a benefit of 95 percent for the first six 
months of 1995 compared to a benefit of 7 percent for 1994.  The higher 
beneficial tax rate is due to a pre-tax loss in 1995 compared to pre-tax 
income in 1994.  In both 1995 and 1994, the beneficial tax rate is due to low 
pre-tax income (loss) relative to the amount of non-conventional fuel tax 
credits earned.

Other Matters

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment 
of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of, which is 
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.  

SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets to be held and used by an entity 
be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes indicate that the 
carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss would 
be recognized if the sum of expected future cash flows (undiscounted and 
without interest charges) from the use of the asset is less than the carrying 
amount of the asset.  SFAS No. 121 also requires that long-lived assets to be 
disposed of be reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less the 
cost to sell.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 121 
will have on its financial position or results of operations.
