PART I
ITEMS 1. AND 2. BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES
GENERAL
Oryx Energy Company (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the
context otherwise requires, Company) engages in the oil and gas exploration and
production business. The Company has a strong base of U.S. and international
reserves and production in the Gulf of Mexico, the southwestern U.S., the U.K.
North Sea, Ecuador and Kazakstan. It also has exploration and development
projects in the Gulf of Mexico, the U.K. North Sea, Kazakstan, Australia and
Algeria. The Company also had producing assets in Indonesia and Gabon which were
sold in 1995. The Company's business in the United States is conducted through
Sun Energy Partners, L.P. (Partnership), of which the Company is the Managing
General Partner and owns a 98 percent interest.
In 1995, the Company implemented a plan which refocused strategic direction,
significantly reduced debt, restored profitability and set the Company on a
course for sustained long-term growth in cash flow. The Company reoriented its
strategic direction by changing the nature of its capital investing program. The
Company is emphasizing lower-risk and shorter cycle-time prospects. The U.S. is
the centerpiece of the Company's investment strategy for the foreseeable future,
supplemented by a measured and focused international program. Investing has been
supported by proven technology. Major development programs will be funded and
opportunities around existing fields will be exploited. Exploration spending is
directed toward areas of proven success, and overall exploration spending has
been decreased. The Company emphasizes projects that generate near-term cash
flow and de-emphasizes entry into new countries. The primary geographic focus of
both exploration and development spending is the Gulf of Mexico.
For the five years 1991 through 1995, the Company's average production
replacement rate was 92 percent at a cost of $5.04 per eb. In 1995, the Company
replaced 67 percent of its production at $5.86 per eb.
The Company determines its ED&A investing plans primarily based on the cash
flow that it expects to generate. For 1995, the Company invested $300 million
for ED&A programs. The Company plans to invest approximately $420 million for
ED&A in 1996, with the primary emphasis being near-term volume additions,
primarily in the Gulf of Mexico. The Company is basing its 1996 investing plans
on oil and gas spot prices averaging $18.00 per barrel (WTI) and $1.80 per mmbtu
(H H). The Company's cash flow available for investment will continue to be
affected by prevailing oil and gas prices, costs and volumes. In 1995, about 22
percent of the Company's total ED&A investing was on exploration and about 78
percent on development. About 73 percent of total ED&A outlays were made in the
U.S., and this will remain at 73 percent in 1996.
PROVED RESERVES
As of December 31, 1995, the Company's estimated proved reserves were 344
mmb of liquids and 1,323 bcf of natural gas which represents an aggregate of 564
mmeb of reserves. The Company's liquids reserves were located in the United
States (60 percent), the United Kingdom (29 percent) and other foreign countries
(11 percent). The Company's natural gas reserves were located in the United
States (98 percent) and the United Kingdom (2 percent). More information on the
estimated quantities of proved oil and gas reserves, proved developed reserves,
and the Standardized Measure, are presented in the "Consolidated Financial
Statements -- Supplementary Financial and Operating Information" in the
Company's 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders. The Company files oil and gas
reserve estimates with various governmental regulatory authorities and agencies,
the variability of which does not exceed 5 percent.
ASSET SALES
In July 1995, the Company completed the sale of all of its assets in the
Alba field in the U.K. North Sea for cash consideration of $270 million. In
November 1995, the Company sold its interest in Block 48/15a in the U.K. North
Sea for $120 million. Assets sold included the Company's 33.7 percent
2
<PAGE>
interest in the Audrey field; its estimated 10 percent interest in the Galleon
field; and its undetermined interest in the Ensign discovery. The sale of these
North Sea assets was part of a series of related asset dispositions which the
Company entered into in 1995 for the purpose of reducing debt. In addition, the
Company completed sales of certain U.S. oil and gas producing assets and all of
its assets in Indonesia and Gabon. The sale of U.S. assets occurred primarily
during the six months ended June 30, 1995 and generated cash proceeds of $77
million; the sale of the Indonesian assets occurred in May 1995 for cash
proceeds of $67 million; and the sale of the Gabonese assets occurred in March
1995 for cash proceeds of $2 million. Asset dispositions, totaling $536 million
of gross proceeds, represent 138 million equivalent barrels of proved reserves
and 43 thousand average equivalent barrels of production per day.
OFFSHORE UNITED STATES
The Company emphasizes projects that generate near-term cash flow. The
Company has identified the Gulf of Mexico as the cornerstone of its growth
strategy.
The Company has significant presence in the Gulf of Mexico with an interest
in 115 blocks in various stages of exploration, development and production. The
Company has an interest in 36 producing platforms, 17 of which it operates. The
Company also holds interests in various offshore pipelines and facilities.
EXPLORATION
As of December 31, 1995, the Company held 275 thousand net undeveloped acres
offshore, as compared to 344 thousand as of December 31, 1994. Of the 115 Gulf
of Mexico blocks in which the Company owns an interest, 71 are undeveloped. In
1995, the Company spent $5 million to acquire interests in seven blocks.
As of December 31, 1995, one exploratory well was being drilled. The Company
drilled 6 gross (3 net) exploratory wells offshore in 1995 and 4 gross (3 net)
in 1994. Of the wells drilled in 1995, 2 gross (1 net) wells were successful.
PRODUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT
Average daily production of crude oil and condensate offshore was 16, 10 and
9 mbbls in 1995, 1994 and 1993. Average daily production of natural gas offshore
was 180, 203 and 193 mmcf in 1995, 1994 and 1993.
The Company owns a 100 percent interest in the High Island A-576 block. In
1994, the HI A-576 #1 discovery well encountered 168 feet of net pay from the
Lower Pleistocene sands. The well is located 110 miles off the Texas coast in
290 feet of water and is 20 miles southwest of the Company's discoveries at High
Island 379 and 385. This development, which has been named the Sherman Project,
began production in December 1995. Peak production was 7 meb per day.
The Company owns a 100 percent interest in the four-block High Island 384
unit. The High Island 384 unit is composed of blocks 378, 379, 384 and 385 and
is located approximately 112 miles off the Texas coast in water with an average
depth of 360 feet. In 1993, the Company announced an oil discovery in High
Island 379 which encountered 179 feet of oil pay. In the early part of 1994, the
Company announced an oil and gas discovery in High Island 385. The High Island
385 discovery encountered 80 feet of net pay. This new development, which has
been named the Patton Project, began production in January 1995 and in September
achieved the expected peak production of 20 meb per day.
Late in 1995, the Company confirmed the presence of natural gas reserves in
a previously untested area of the High Island 384 Unit. The High Island 385 #3
well encountered 158 feet of net gas pay. Two subsequent delineation wells found
the same pay interval in nearby fault blocks. In the second phase of Patton, the
Company will install a platform in 360 feet of water and develop the new gas
reservoir. First production from phase II is expected by the fourth quarter of
1996 with gross peak production estimated to be 30-40 mmcf per day.

<PAGE>
In early 1995, the Company confirmed the presence of hydrocarbons in a
previously untested fault block on the Garden Banks 260 discovery in the Gulf of
Mexico. The Garden Banks (GB) 215 #2 well, which drilled a new fault block about
two miles north of the original discovery well on GB 260, encountered
approximately 170 feet of net pay. The GB 259 #2 well was then drilled as a
side-track, and encountered over 115 feet of new pay in the same reservoir
sands. A total of nine successful wells have been drilled in the GB 260 area.
The most recent well, GB 216 #2, encountered 150 feet of net pay. This
development, which has been named the Baldpate Project, is in federal waters
offshore Louisiana in water depths of approximately 1,700 feet. In 1995, the
Company entered into a plan of development to install a compliant tower platform
and processing facility. The Company expects to begin production in 1998 with
gross peak production of 50-60 meb per day. The Company owns a 50 percent
interest in a four-block area.
In 1995, the Company approved a plan for the development of Viosca Knoll 826
which lies 80 miles off the Alabama coast in water depths of 1,500 to 2,500
feet. This development has been named the Neptune Project. First production is
anticipated in 1997 with a gross peak rate of 24-30 meb per day. The Company
operates the four-block Viosca Knoll unit and owns a 50 percent interest. The
project will utilize a new type of floating production facility called a spar.
The spar is a cylindrical-shaped vessel which floats in a vertical position,
similar to a buoy. Production risers will be routed through the cylinder to
allow the spar to float around them. The field will be developed in multiple
phases with the spar being moved from location to location. In 1994, the Company
exchanged its interest in an undeveloped block in the Gulf of Mexico for a
royalty interest in Viosca Knoll 826.
As of December 31, 1995, the Company was drilling 12 gross (7 net) offshore
development wells. The Company drilled 14 gross (11 net) development wells
offshore in 1995 and 16 gross (6 net) in 1994. All of the 14 gross (11 net)
development wells drilled in 1995 were successful.
ONSHORE UNITED STATES
The onshore area continues to be a major contributor of production volumes
and cash flow with relatively modest reinvestment needs. The Company has
interests in 60 major onshore fields in five states and operates about 75
percent of its production. In addition, the Company has increased its drilling
activity to more rapidly exploit its onshore asset portfolio.
The Company is applying 3-D technology creating opportunities in new fault
blocks and deeper pool horizons which provide new volumes. To optimize cash
flow, the Company will continue to exploit its waterflood operations. The U.S.
onshore will be managed for maximum cash flow generation.
EXPLORATION
The Company drilled no exploratory wells onshore in 1995, and at December
31, 1995, none were being drilled.
PRODUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT
Average daily production of crude oil and condensate onshore was 30, 38 and
47 mb in 1995, 1994 and 1993. The decrease in 1995 crude oil and condensate
production compared to 1994 and in 1994 compared to 1993 was due primarily to
asset sales and normal declines. Average daily net production of natural gas
onshore was 288, 335 and 330 mmcf in 1995, 1994 and 1993.
As of December 31, 1995, the Company was drilling or participating in the
drilling of 34 gross (29 net) development wells onshore. Of the 132 gross (89
net) development wells drilled onshore during 1995, 121 gross (80 net) were
successful.
UNITED KINGDOM
The U.K. North Sea provides a strong stream of earnings and cash flow with
relatively modest reinvestment needs. This is important for the funding of the
Company's plans in other strategic areas.
In 1995, the Company initiated significant cost-reduction measures at its
operated fields. As a result, the Company expects an overall reduction of U.K.
production costs in 1996.
4
<PAGE>
Drilling activities are concentrated on infield and near-field opportunities
near existing infrastructure. In total, the Company has an interest in 29 blocks
in the North Sea.
EXPLORATION
The Company held 212 thousand net undeveloped acres in the North Sea as of
December 31, 1995, compared to 266 thousand net undeveloped acres as of December
31, 1994.
In 1995, the Company drilled no exploratory wells in the North Sea, and at
December 31, 1995, none were being drilled.
PRODUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company's producing fields set forth in the table below, are located in
the northern sector of the North Sea.
As of December 31, 1995, the Company was drilling or participating in the
drilling of 4 gross (1 net) development well in the North Sea. All of the 8
gross (2 net) development wells drilled in the U.K. in 1995 were successful.
The Company's average daily net production of crude oil and condensate in
the United Kingdom was 55, 54 and 35 mb during 1995, 1994 and 1993. The increase
in production in 1994 was due to the acquisition of additional interest in
Ninian, the exchange for additional interests in Hutton, Lyell and Murchison and
the results of development drilling. Average daily production of natural gas was
50, 62 and 80 mmcf during 1995, 1994 and 1993. The decrease in net daily
production of natural gas in 1995 and 1994 was due to reduced takes by British
Gas plc and asset sales.
The following table sets forth the North Sea producing fields held at
December 31, 1995 and their net daily production:
<TABLE>

Lyell............................................ Oil/Gas 66.6 7
Strathspey....................................... Oil/Gas 6.5 3
</TABLE>
The Company also receives tariff income on production from several satellite
fields that produce through the Ninian facilities.
In early 1994, the Company began producing oil from the Alba field. Alba is
located on Block 16/26 in the central sector of the North Sea. The Company owned
a 15.5 percent interest in the field which it sold in 1995.
In the third quarter of 1994, the Company exchanged its interest in the
undeveloped Britannia field for additional interests in the Hutton, Lyell and
Murchison producing fields and $40.4 million in cash. This transaction increased
near-term production volumes and considerably reduced future development capital
expenditures. Effective January 9, 1995, the Company took over operatorship of
the Hutton, Lyell and Murchison fields. In late 1994, the Company completed a
development well for 20 mb gross per day in a newly discovered extension to the
Hutton field. The well encountered in excess of 150 feet of net pay in the Brent
sandstone.
In the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company began producing gas from the
Galleon field at a net of 19 mmcf per day. Galleon is located in the southern
portion of the North Sea. The Company had a 10 percent interest in the field,
subject to unitization, which it sold in 1995.
5
<PAGE>
In addition, the Company has interests in and receives tariff income from
North Sea transportation systems, terminal storage facilities and certain other
related income producing assets, including the Brent and Ninian Pipeline Systems
and the Sullom Voe Terminal in the Shetland Islands.
OTHER FOREIGN
In 1995, the Company sold all its interests in Indonesia and Gabon.
In 1995, the Company had producing interests in Ecuador where the Gacela
field began producing in 1993. Also development of the Jaguar and Mono fields
has begun. The Company is conducting geophysical work on Block 21 in Ecuador.
During 1994, the Company signed two oil and gas agreements with the Republic
of Kazakstan. The agreements involve both the development of a known field as
well as the rights to explore a large block in western Kazakstan. A joint
venture agreement was signed for development of the Arman Field which was
discovered in the 1980's but had not been developed. The Company jointly
operates the venture and currently holds a 50 percent interest with two
Kazakstani partners. The Arman Field is located in the north Buzachi Peninsula.
In 1995, the first 380 thousand net barrels of oil were produced and sold from
four wells in the Arman Field. The Company has a production sharing agreement
for approximately 3 million acres located east of the Arman Field. In September
1995, the Company farmed-out 50 percent of this exploration venture in exchange
for a carry on the initial exploration phase.
EXPLORATION
As of December 31, 1995, the Company held 3,777 thousand net undeveloped
acres in other foreign properties, as compared to 5,749 thousand net undeveloped
acres as of December 31, 1994. The decrease of 1,972 thousand net undeveloped
acres in 1995 as compared to 1994 is due primarily to the sale of the Company's
interests in Indonesia and the relinquishment of a production sharing contract
area in Algeria.
The Company drilled 1 successful gross exploratory well in 1995 in the Zone
of Cooperation between Australia and Indonesia. The Bayu #1 discovery well was
drilled on ZOCA 91-13 and encountered 570 gross feet of pay (353 net feet) and
flowed at a cumulative rate of 90 mmcf/d of gas and 5250 b/d of condensate from
four zones. Since then, three successful appraisal wells have been drilled on
the adjacent block with results that indicate a consistent gas-water contact
across the field and similar reservoir properties. The field is estimated to be
approximately 17 miles long and 6 miles wide. Preliminary estimates for
recoverable reserves from the field are 3.5-4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas
and 175-200 mmb of hydrocarbon liquids (approximately 750-850 mmeb). The field
is located 185 miles off the northern coast of Australia in 240 feet of water.
The Company owns 25 percent of ZOCA 91-13.
At December 31, 1995, the Company was drilling or participating in the
drilling of 1 gross exploratory well.
PRODUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company's average daily net production of crude oil and condensate from
other foreign areas was 13, 19 and 19 mb in 1995, 1994 and 1993. The average
daily production of crude oil and condensate decreased in 1995, compared to
1994, due to the sale of Indonesia, partially offset by increased production in
Ecuador.
The Company drilled 14 gross (2 net) development wells, all of which were
successful in 1995. As of December 31, 1995, the Company was in the process of
drilling or participating in the drilling of 1 gross development well.

<PAGE>
PRODUCTION
In 1995, the Company's production was concentrated primarily in the United
States and the United Kingdom. In 1995, the Company produced 48 mmeb from its
properties in the United States, 23 mmeb from its properties in the United
Kingdom, and 5 mmeb from its other foreign properties.

ASSET DISPOSITIONS
Assets are managed on a portfolio basis. The Company will continue to buy
and sell assets with the intention of upgrading its asset base.
RECOVERY METHODS
During 1995, the Company obtained 62, 37 and 1 percent of its U.S. crude
production from primary, secondary and tertiary recovery methods. This compares
to 55, 38 and 7 percent of its crude oil production in 1994. At December 31,
1995, the Company participated in no major tertiary oil recovery programs.
The terms "secondary recovery" and "tertiary recovery" relate to those
methods used to increase the quantity of crude oil and condensate and natural
gas that can be recovered in excess of the quantity recoverable using the
primary energy found in a reservoir. Secondary recovery methods include pressure
maintenance by waterflooding or natural gas injection.

MARKETING OF OIL AND GAS
DISTRIBUTION
In the U.S., crude oil, condensate and natural gas are distributed through
pipelines and/or trucks to traders, end users, gatherers and transportation
companies and in foreign locations by tankers and/ or pipelines to traders and
end users. Worldwide, sufficient distribution systems exist and are readily
available in the areas of the Company's production to enable the Company to
effectively market its oil and gas. In some instances, the Company owns an
interest in these systems.
CRUDE AND CONDENSATE
During 1995, sales to J. Aron & Company and Chevron totaled approximately 15
and 13 percent of the Company's sales of crude oil and condensate. No other
customer purchased more than 10 percent of the Company's sales of crude oil and
condensate.
Since most of the Company's crude and condensate is produced in areas where
there are other buyers offering to purchase at market prices, the Company
believes that the loss of any major purchaser would not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business. In 1995, the ten largest customers, including
J. Aron & Company and Chevron accounted for approximately 59 percent of such
sales.
Currently, approximately 63 percent of domestic sales are made pursuant to
arrangements that are cancelable upon 30 days' written notice by the Company or
the purchaser, with substantially all of the remainder of the domestic
production being sold pursuant to contracts of varying terms of up to nine years
in length.
The Company markets its foreign crude oil production, which is sold under
short-term contracts, on a cargo lot basis.
NATURAL GAS
During 1995 the Company marketed its natural gas production. Sales of
natural gas into short-term markets averaged 46 percent of total sales. At
year-end over 50 percent of total sales were contracted to end-users of natural
gas on a term basis. Contract length of these term sales agreements ranges from
three months to ten years.
During the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company, Apache Corporation and
Parker & Parsley Petroleum Company formed Producers Energy Marketing, LLC
(ProEnergy). Upon commencement of full operations, which is expected to occur in
the second quarter of 1996, ProEnergy will purchase substantially all of its
members' U.S. gas production at index prices.
During 1995, the Company sold its natural gas production from the North Sea
under long-term agreements with British Gas plc, which represented 12 percent of
the Company's natural gas sales for 1995.
During 1995, British Gas plc was the only customer who accounted for more
than 10 percent of the Company's natural gas sales. The ten largest customers
including British Gas plc, accounted for approximately 24 percent of total gas
sales during 1995.
HEDGING
Because of the volatility of oil and gas prices, the Company periodically
enters into crude oil and natural gas hedging activities.
REGULATION
GENERAL
The oil and gas industry is subject to regulation by the public policies of
national, state and local governments relating to such matters as the award of
exploration and production interests, the
11
<PAGE>
imposition of specific drilling obligations, environmental protection controls,
control over the development and abandonment of a field (including restrictions
on production and abandonment of production facilities) and, in some cases,
possible nationalization, expropriation, regulatory taking, cancellation or
frustration of contract rights. The industry is also subject to the payment of
royalties and taxes, which tend to be high compared to those levied on other
commercial activities. The Company cannot predict the impact of future
regulatory and taxation initiatives.
NATURAL GAS
The natural gas industry in the United States remains under federal
regulation pursuant to the Natural Gas Act and the Natural Gas Policy Act.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company is subject to, and makes every effort to comply with, various
environmental quality control regulations of national, state and local
governments. Although environmental requirements can have a substantial impact
upon the energy industry, generally these requirements do not appear to affect
the Company any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than other
exploration and production companies.
The Company has been named as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at four
sites pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act of 1980, as amended. At two of these sites, the Company has been
named as a de minimis party and therefore expects its liability to be small. At
a third site, the Company is reviewing its options and anticipates that it will
participate in steering committee activities with the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). At the fourth and largest site, the Operating Industries, Inc.
site in California, the Company has participated in a steering committee
consisting of 139 companies. The steering committee and other PRP's previously
entered into two partial consent decrees with the EPA providing for remedial
actions which have been or are to be completed. The steering committee has
successfully negotiated a third partial consent decree which provides for the
following remedial actions: a clay cover, methane capturing wells and leachate
destruction facilities. The remaining work at the site involves groundwater
evaluation and long-term operation and maintenance.
Based on the facts outlined above and the Company's ongoing analyses of the
actions where it has been identified as a PRP, the Company believes that it has
accrued sufficient reserves to absorb the ultimate cost of such actions and that
such costs will not have a material impact on the Company's liquidity, capital
resources or financial condition. While liability at superfund sites is
typically joint and several, the Company has no reason to believe that defaults
by other PRPs will result in liability of the Company materially larger than
expected.
COMPETITION
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive. Integrated companies,
independent companies and individual producers and operators are active bidders
for desirable oil and gas properties, as well as for the equipment and labor
required to operate and develop such properties. Although several of these
competitors have financial resources substantially greater than those of the
Company, management believes that the Company is in a position to compete
effectively.
The availability of a ready market for the Company's oil and gas production
depends on numerous factors beyond its control, including the level of prices
and consumer demand, the extent of worldwide oil and gas production, the cost
and availability of alternative fuels, the cost and proximity of pipelines and
other transportation facilities, regulation by national and local authorities
and the cost of compliance with applicable environmental regulations.
TECHNOLOGY
The Company's exploration, development and production activities depend upon
the use of applied technology. In support of this, the Company has 27 engineers,
geoscientists, technicians and support personnel focusing on the technology used
in the exploration for, and development and
12
<PAGE>
production of, energy resources. The Company's expenditures on technology
activities, including employee-related costs, were $8 million, $11 million and
$15 million for the years 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
THE PARTNERSHIP
Since December 1, 1985, the Company has functioned as the managing general
partner for, and has conducted its business operations in the United States
principally through the Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership. As of
December 31, 1995, the Company had a 98 percent interest in the Partnership. The
remaining 2 percent partnership interest is a limited partnership interest and
is held by public unitholders in the form of depositary units. There were
7,543,100 depositary units outstanding at December 31, 1995.
The Partnership operates through Sun Operating Limited Partnership, which is
a Delaware limited partnership, and several other operating partnerships.
Certain conflicts of interest may arise as a result of the relationships
between the Company and the Partnership. The directors and officers of the
Company have fiduciary duties to manage the Company in the best interest of its
stockholders. The Company, as managing general partner of the Partnership, has a
fiduciary duty to manage the Partnership in a manner that is fair to the public
unitholders. The duty of the directors of the Company to its stockholders may
therefore come into conflict with the duties of the Company to the public
unitholders. The Partnership may sell limited partnership units to the Company
for the purpose of funding the Partnership's property acquisition, exploration
and development cash requirements.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (Audit
Committee), none of whose members is affiliated with the Company except as
Company directors or stockholders or as holders of units, reviews policies and
procedures developed by the Company for dealing with various matters as to which
a conflict of interest may arise. The Audit Committee also monitors the
application of such policies and procedures.
EMPLOYEES
At December 31, 1995, the number of full-time active employees of the
Company was approximately 1,200.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Three federal securities actions, subsequently consolidated into a single
action, brought against the Company and certain of its senior officers in 1992,
alleging the Company made false and misleading statements about its financial
prospects and, in particular, about its intentions to continue paying dividends
at the same level as in the past have been dismissed by the U.S. District Court
for the Northern District of Texas.
The Company is involved in a number of legal and administrative proceedings
arising in the ordinary course of its oil and gas business. Although the
ultimate outcome of these proceedings cannot be ascertained at this time, it is
reasonably possible that some of the proceedings could be resolved unfavorably
to the Company. Management of the Company believes that any liabilities which
may arise would not be material in relation to its financial position at
December 31, 1995. The Company intends to maintain liability and other insurance
of the type customary in the oil and gas business with such coverage limits as
the Company deems prudent.

EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN
PREAMBLE
Oryx Energy Company (the "Company") adopted and established the Oryx
Energy Company Executive Retirement Plan (the "Plan"), for the exclusive
benefit of certain of its executives and their beneficiaries in November
1988. The Plan superseded the Sun Company, Inc. Executive Retirement Plan
(the "Predecessor Plan") with respect to those Executives of the Company who
had been participants in the Predecessor Plan. Subsequently, the Plan was
amended from time to time. Effective as of January 1, 1995, (except as
otherwise provided herein) the Company has, by execution of this document,
amended and restated the Plan in its entirety, subject to the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth.
Except as otherwise provided herein, any Participant under the Plan
prior to January 1, 1995, who died, retired, became disabled, terminated
employment or otherwise ceased to be a Participant thereunder prior to
January 1, 1995, shall receive any benefits to which he or she is entitled
based upon the provisions of the Plan as in effect prior to January 1, 1995.
The purpose of the Plan is primarily to provide additional retirement
benefits to a select group of highly compensated or management employees of
the Company through an unfunded plan.

RETIREMENT BENEFITS
3.01 NORMAL RETIREMENT. Except as provided in Section 3.04, each Participant
will be eligible to retire on his Normal Retirement Date.
3.02 NORMAL RETIREMENT INCOME. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.03, a
Participant who retires on or after his Normal Retirement Date and after
the completion of five years of Executive Service will be entitled to a
monthly normal retirement income equal to the excess of (a) over (b),
where:
(a) equals the sum of:
(i) 3% of his Final Average Earnings multiplied by his Credited
Service up to a maximum of 10 years, plus
(ii) 1-1/2% of his Final Average Earnings multiplied by his Credited
Service in excess of 10 years, and
(b) equals the sum of:
(i) 1% of his Social Security Benefit multiplied by his Credited
Service up to a maximum of 30 years,
(ii) 100% of his Affiliated Company Benefit, plus
(iii) 100% of his Statutory Benefit.
3.03 MAXIMUM NORMAL RETIREMENT INCOME.

-8-
<PAGE>
ORYX ENERGY COMPANY
EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN
3.05 EARLY RETIREMENT INCOME. The monthly early retirement income payable to
the Participant commencing on his early retirement date will be equal to
the monthly normal retirement income that would otherwise be applicable
under Sections 3.02 and 3.03, adjusted as follows:
(a) The Social Security Benefit referred to in Sections 3.02 and 3.03
will be determined by projecting the Participant's Credited Service
to his Normal Retirement Date (but such projected Credited Service
shall not exceed 30 years) and assuming constant Earnings, at his
last rate in effect, to Normal Retirement Date, and will then be
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which will be his Credited
Service to the date of actual retirement and the denominator of which
will be his projected Credited Service to Normal Retirement Date.
(b) The amount calculated in Section 3.02(a) and the offset for Social
Security Benefits calculated in Section 3.02(b) and 3.03 will be
reduced by 5/12% for each full month by which actual retirement
precedes Normal Retirement Date by more than five years.
3.06 NORMAL FORM OF BENEFIT. Except as provided for in Article IV, a
Participant's retirement benefits under this Plan will be paid in the form
of a lump sum equal to the lump sum present value of the retirement income
determined under Sections 3.02, 3.03 and 3.05, whichever is applicable.
For purposes of determining such lump-sum present value: (i) the interest
rate and mortality assumptions that would apply to such Participant at
such time for such purpose under the Oryx Energy Company Retirement Plan
shall be used; and (ii) the value of any early retirement and survivor
benefits subsidies otherwise included in the determination of benefits
under the Plan shall be reflected in such lump-sum amount.
3.07 TIME OF PAYMENT. The payment of a Participant's retirement benefits shall
be made or commence no later than the last day of the calendar month in
which the Participant retires.
3.08 SPECIAL ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM.

requirements for a benefit under
-9-

ORYX ENERGY COMPANY
EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN
the Special Enhancement Program, as set forth in Section 3.08(b),
shall have the Early Retirement Income under Section 3.05 or the
Normal Retirement Income under Section 3.02, whichever is applicable,
calculated in accordance with Section 3.08(b) below, subject to
3.08(c) below. For purposes of this Section 3.08, the following

plus two years. For purposes of the benefit under Section
3.08(a), a Participant's Adjusted Age shall not exceed 60.
(ii) ADJUSTED SERVICE - Adjusted Service shall be a Participant's
actual Service plus two years.
(iii) ADJUSTED CREDITED SERVICE - Adjusted Credited Service shall be
a Participant's actual Credited Service plus two years.

Enhanced Retirement Benefit under this Section if his employment with
the Employer terminated under an outplacement program during 1995 and
his actual age is at least 50 and his actual Executive Service equals
at least five years. A Participant who meets the requirements for an
Enhanced Retirement Benefit shall have his benefit determined in
accordance with Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.05, as applicable, provided
that:
(i) The amounts set forth in Section 3.02(a) and (b)(i) shall be
determined using the Participant's Adjusted Credited Service,
rather than his actual Credited Service; provided that for
purposes of determining the Social Security Benefit offset
amount described in Section 3.05(a), a Participant's Adjusted
Credited Service shall be used only in the numerator of the
fraction included in Section 3.05(a) (except such fraction so
determined cannot exceed 1.0).
(ii) The reductions described in Section 3.05(b), for commencement
of a
-10-
<PAGE>
ORYX ENERGY COMPANY
EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN
Participant's benefit that precedes Normal Retirement Date,
shall be determined by reference to the number of full months
that his Adjusted Age precedes his age at his Normal Retirement
Date, rather than the number of full months that his actual
retirement precedes his Normal Retirement Date.
(iii) To the extent that under the terms of the Plan, a Participant
who has met the early retirement eligibility requirements, or

OPTIONAL FORMS OF RETIREMENT INCOME
4.01 ELECTION OF STRAIGHT LIFE ANNUITY OR OTHER OPTIONAL FORM OF PAYMENT.
Not later than thirty (30) days prior to a Participant's retirement
date, a Participant may elect, in lieu of the lump-sum normal form of
retirement benefits, a straight life annuity (equal to the monthly
normal retirement income determined under Sections 3.02, 3.03 and 3.05,
whichever is applicable) or an optional form of retirement income as set
forth below. A Participant may not change or revoke an elected option
unless such change is made thirty (30) days prior to the Participant's
retirement date. Each election, designation and revocation of an option
will be made in writing and in conformity with such rules as may be
prescribed by the Plan Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
a Spouse may not elect an optional form of receiving any benefit payable
under Article V.
4.02 CONTINGENT ANNUITY OPTION. A Participant may elect to receive a reduced
retirement income, the amount of which will be determined by application
of appropriate Actuarially Equivalent factors adopted by the Plan
Administrator for the age and sex of the Participant and the contingent
annuitant. The contingent annuity option provides (a) payments to the
Participant for his life, and (b) continuation of such payments, or any
part of them designated by the Participant, to the contingent annuitant,
if surviving, for life.
4.03 TEN-YEAR CERTAIN OPTION. A Participant may elect to receive a retirement
income of Actuarially Equivalent value payable for his life, provided
that such income will be paid to him or to his Beneficiary for ten years
after the Participant's retirement regardless of whether the Participant
or his Beneficiary survives such period. At the discretion of the Plan
Administrator, any benefit payable hereunder to a Beneficiary may be
commuted and paid in one sum.
4.04 OTHER FORMS OF PENSION. A Participant may elect to receive a benefit
payable over a period not less than his remaining lifetime and, if he
so further elects, thereafter to his designated Beneficiary for
-12-
<PAGE>
ORYX ENERGY COMPANY
EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN
as long as his designated Beneficiary survives him in such other form
having an Actuarially Equivalent value as may be approved by the Plan
Administrator and subject to such conditions as he may prescribe.
4.05 RULES APPLICABLE TO CONTINGENT ANNUITY OPTION.
(a) If the Participant should die before the effective date of the
contingent annuity option, no benefit will be payable to the
contingent annuitant.
(b) If the contingent annuitant should die before the effective date
of the contingent annuity option, the option will automatically be
cancelled and the normal monthly retirement income will be payable
to the Participant in a straight life annuity as provided in
Section 4.01 as if the contingent annuity option had not been
elected.
(c) If the contingent annuitant should die before the Participant but
after the effective date of the contingent annuity option, benefits
will be payable or continue to be paid to the Participant on the
reduced basis; provided, however, that if the contingent annuitant
should die during the first four years following commencement of
the retirement income payments to the Participant, the amount of
the reduced retirement income payable to the surviving retired
Participant will be increased by restoring a percentage of the
reduction amount as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
DEATH OF CONTINGENT PERCENTAGE OF
ANNUITANT DURING DISCOUNT RESTORED
-------------------- ------------------
<S> <C>
First Year 80%
Second Year 60%
Third Year 40%
Fourth Year 20%
Fifth and Subsequent Years 0%
</TABLE>
(d) If the retirement date is earlier than the effective date of the
contingent annuity option, retirement benefits commencing at the
actual retirement date will be made in the straight life annuity
form of retirement income, as provided in Section 4.01. If the
Participant and his contingent annuitant are living on such
effective date, the retirement
-13-
<PAGE>
ORYC ENERGY COMPANY
EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN
benefit will be adjusted to provide retirement income on and after such
date on the optional form.
4.06 ACCELERATION OF ANNUITY OPTIONS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Internal Revenue Service makes a determination that the Participant must
include any amounts from the Plan in his taxable income in a taxable
year prior to the year in which the Participant actually receives those
amounts, the Participant shall receive the Actuarial Equivalent of the
remainder of his benefit determined under Sections 3.02, 3.03 and 3.05,
whichever is applicable. Such distribution shall be made no later than
the last day of the calendar year in which the Participant informs the
Plan Administrator that the Internal Revenue Service has made such a
determination.

DEATH BENEFITS
5.01 PRERETIREMENT SPOUSE'S DEATH BENEFIT. The actual form of payment
(monthly annuity or lump-sum) of the death benefit described in this
Section shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, be
determined in accordance with Section 5.02 hereof. In the event of the
death of a Participant during active employment and after having become
eligible to elect an early retirement date, a death benefit in the form
of monthly retirement income in the amount hereinafter set forth will be
payable to the Participant's Spouse at the time of his death for the
lifetime of such Spouse. The amount of each such monthly income payment
will be 50% of the monthly early retirement income that would have been
payable to the Participant under Section 3.05 had he retired on the date
of his death; provided, however, that:
(a) the reduction specified in Section 3.02(b)(ii) with respect to the
Participant's Affiliated Company Benefit will not be applicable;
(b) the early retirement reduction percentage described in Section
3.05(b) will be applied only to the offset for Social Security
Benefits;
(c) the monthly income payments to the Spouse will be reduced by 1/2%
for each month that the Spouse is more than ten years younger than
the Participant; and
(d) the amount payable to the Spouse will be reduced by any amount of
Affiliated Company Benefits that are attributable to Affiliated
Company contributions and that are payable to such Spouse.
5.02 ELECTION OF PAYMENT FORM OF PRERETIREMENT SPOUSE'S DEATH BENEFIT. A
Participant who is eligible to elect an early retirement date may elect
to have the preretirement spouse's death benefit under Section 5.01
paid in an annuity form pursuant to Section 5.01, or in an Actuarially
Equivalent lump-sum as soon as practicable after the Participant's death.
A Participant may change or revoke an elected option at any time prior
to his actual retirement. Each
-15-

ORYX ENERGY COMPANY
EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN
election, designation and revocation of an option will be made in writing
and in conformity with such rules as may be prescribed by the Plan
Administrator.
5.03 POSTRETIREMENT SPOUSE'S DEATH BENEFIT. In the event a Participant dies
after retiring or after attaining his Normal Retirement Date, and
provided the Participant's benefit was payable to him in a monthly form
under Article IV hereof, the Spouse to whom he is married on his annuity
starting date will receive a monthly retirement income payable for the
lifetime of such Spouse in an amount equal to 50% of the retirement
income being paid or payable to the Participant (before giving effect
to any reduction in income required by the election of an contingent
annuity or period certain optional form of payment under Article IV);
provided, however, that:
(a) the reduction specified in Section 3.02(b)(ii) with respect to the
Participant's Affiliated Company Benefit will not be applicable;
(b) the monthly income payable to the Spouse will be reduced by 1/2%
for each month that the Spouse is more than ten years younger than
the Participant; and
(c) the amount payable to the Spouse will be reduced by any amount of
spousal Affiliated Company Benefits that are attributable to
Affiliated Company contributions and that are attributable to such
Spouse (even though such amounts may not actually be payable to such
Spouse, due to a waiver of such amounts and/or election to receive
any Affiliated Company Benefits in an optional form not providing
a spousal benefit).
The Spouse's death benefit payable under this Section will be in addition
to any annuity benefits otherwise payable under Article IV. In the
event the Participant did not have a Spouse on his annuity starting
date, but is survived by a Spouse on the date of his death, the monthly
retirement income described above shall be paid to such surviving spouse.

for any reason other than death under Article V or retirement under
Section 3.01 or 3.04, will not be entitled to benefits under this Plan.
6.02 TERMINATION OF EXECUTIVE STATUS. If a Participant remains employed by
the Company or an Affiliated Company but ceases to be an Executive, he
will forfeit the right to all benefits under this Plan unless otherwise
designated to remain as a Participant by the Board Committee or unless
he had attained his 55th birthday and completed at least five years of
Executive Service at the time he ceased to be an Executive. If any such
Participant is designated by the Board Committee as being eligible to
remain a Participant even though no longer an Executive, the
Participant will continue as such for all purposes of this Plan. If the
Participant is not so designated by the Board Committee but has attained
his 55th birthday and has completed at least five years of Executive
Service, he will remain a Participant, but will be entitled to benefits
based only upon his Service, Credited Service and Final Average Earnings

actual retirement or death, in accordance with Articles III and IV above.
6.03 REEMPLOYMENT.
(a) If a retired Participant is reemployed by the Company or an
Affiliated Company, his benefits will thereupon cease, and upon
again becoming such an Employee he will have his prior period of
Service, Credited Service and Executive Service restored to him.
If he had made an election of an optional form of payment, such
election will continue on file with the Plan Administrator, but
no payment will be due under such option in the event of his death
before he again retires. Upon subsequent retirement his retirement
income will be based on his Service

Service and Credited Service rendered while employed as an Executive
after the time of his reemployment.
(b) In all other situations where a retired Participant is reemployed,
there will be no cessation, interruption or adjustment of his
retirement income.
6.04 CHANGE IN CONTROL. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan,
all Participants shall become fully vested upon a Change in Control of
the Company and, upon termination of service from the Company shall
be entitled to benefits calculated as follows:
(a) If at the time of termination of service, the Participant has
attained his Early Retirement Date, he shall be entitled to a
benefit calculated in accordance with Section 3.05.
(b) If at the time of termination of service, the Participant has not
attained his early retirement date, he shall be entitled to
benefits calculated under Section 3.05 with the exception that the
benefits so determined shall, in lieu of the reductions provided
under Section 3.05(b), be reduced actuarially in accordance with
reasonable and appropriate actuarial factors.
Such benefits shall commence coincident with or next following the
first day of the calendar month in which the Participant attains age 55.
As used in the Plan a "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have
occurred if (a) individuals who were directors of the Company
immediately prior to a Control Transaction shall cease, within two years
of such Control Transaction, to constitute a majority of the Board
(or of the Board of Directors of any successor to the Company or to all
or substantially all of its assets) or (b) any entity, person or Group
acquires shares of the Company in a transaction or series of transactions
that result in such entity, person or Group directly or indirectly owning
beneficially fifty-one percent (51%) or more of the outstanding shares.

intends to continue the Plan indefinitely, but
necessarily reserves the right, by action of the Board
of Directors or its delegate, to amend, alter, suspend
or terminate the Plan in whole or in part, and at any

9.09 below, no benefits payable under the Plan will be
subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation,
sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or

alienating, selling, transferring, assigning, pledging,
encumbering or charging the same will be void and of no
effect nor will any such benefit be in any manner
liable for or subject to the debts, contracts,
liabilities, engagements or torts of the person
entitled to such benefit; provided, however, that
benefits may be paid in accordance with a qualified
domestic relations order referred to in ERISA Section

guardian or committee of such minor or incompetent, or
they may be paid to such person or persons who the Plan
Administrator believes is or are caring for or
supporting such minors or incompetents. Any such
payments, to the extent thereof, will be a complete
discharge for the payment of such benefit.

that if such person subsequently appears and identifies
himself to the satisfaction of the Plan Administrator,
then the liability will be reinstated.
9.05 PLAN VOLUNTARY. The Plan is purely voluntary on the
part of the Company. Neither the establishment of the
Plan, nor any amendment thereto, nor the creation of
any fund or account, nor the payment of any benefit
will be construed as conferring upon any Employee or
Participant the right to be retained in the employ of
the Company or any Affiliated Company, and all
Employees and Participants will remain subject to
discharge, discipline or termination to the same extent
as if the Plan had never been established.
9.06 GENDER. Whenever used herein, the masculine pronoun

remain subject to the claims of general unsecured
creditors of the Company. The benefits under the Plan

creation of, a trust, custodial or escrow account, or
other fund of any kind.

right, title, or interest whatever in or to, or any

any investment reserves, accounts, or funds that the

SAVINGS RESTORATION PLAN
AMENDED AND RESTATED SEPTEMBER 6, 1995
<PAGE>
I. STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN
The Oryx Energy Company Savings Restoration Plan ("Plan") is established
for the purpose of providing for certain employees benefits in excess of
the limitations imposed by Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended ("Code"), (without regard to the $150,000 compensation
limit under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code) on the contributions and
benefits under the Oryx Energy Company Capital Accumulation Plan ("CAP").
This Plan is intended to be an unfunded excess benefit plan within the
meaning of Section 3(36) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974.
II. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
The Plan Administrator of CAP, or its delegate, ("Plan Administrator")
shall administer the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall have full
authority to determine all questions arising in connection with the Plan.
The Plan Administrator shall have powers and duties with respect to this
Plan as set forth in CAP, including the power to interpret the Plan, adopt
procedural rules, and employ and rely on legal counsel, actuaries,
accountants and such agents as it may deem advisable to assist in the
administration of the Plan. Decisions of the Plan Administrator shall be
conclusive and binding on all persons.
III. PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN
1. GENERAL
The Plan Administrator shall select the employees eligible to
participate in the Plan for the next succeeding calendar year from among
the participants in CAP whose employing organization adopts this Plan
(hereinafter referred to as a "participating employer", which term also

selected for participation in this Plan shall be those CAP participants
whose benefits or contributions under CAP the Plan Administrator reasonably
expects to exceed the limitations imposed under Section 415 of the Code
("Annual Additions Limit") during the succeeding calendar year, based upon
the participant's contributions and benefits under CAP for the preceding
year.

2. SPECIAL PARTICIPATING EMPLOYER CREDITS
The participants in CAP whose employing organization is a participating
employer and who were subject to the Annual Additions Limit during 1987
shall be participants in this Plan for the purpose of the special
participating employer credits.
3. After being selected by the Plan Administrator to participate in this
Plan, an employee shall, as a condition precedent to participation
herein, complete and return to the Plan Administrator an executed
participation and deferral agreement, electing to participate herein
and defer such amounts as permitted under Article IV herein. By
execution of such agreement, a participant shall agree that all amounts
deferred thereby shall be irrevocably deferred and that in lieu thereof
the participant shall be entitled solely to benefits provided under
this Plan. Such agreement shall be returned to the Plan Administrator
by December 31 of the year preceding the year to which the agreement
relates. A participant may revoke his agreement and shall not
participate in this Plan by notifying the Plan Administrator in writing
prior to January 1 of the year to which the revocation shall apply.
The participant's agreement shall continue in effect for all subsequent
years until revoked or modified.
4. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if the benefits
or contributions of otherwise eligible employees participating in CAP
first become limited by Code Section 415 during a calendar year when
the employees have not otherwise been made eligible to participate in
this Plan, then such employees may be selected by the Plan
Administrator for immediate participation hereunder and their deferral
agreements for the remainder of such year may be executed and furnished
to the Plan Administrator accordingly.
IV. BENEFITS PROVIDED UNDER THE PLAN
1. PARTICIPANT DEFERRALS
If, as to a participant in this Plan, any limitations on contributions
imposed under the terms of CAP by reason of the Annual Additions Limit
have prevented the participant
-3-
<PAGE>
from making the maximum Basic Contributions and Additional
Contributions (as these terms are defined in CAP) allowed under CAP,
the participant may elect, before the beginning of the calendar year
during which the participant's Annual Additions Limit will be reached,
to defer a portion of his compensation which shall not exceed five
percent (5%) of his Compensation (as defined in CAP) for each pay
period subsequent to the pay period during which the participant's
Annual Additions Limit is reached. Such election shall be made at the
time and in the manner provided in Article III hereof. In calculating
when the Annual Additions Limit is reached, no change in a
participant's Basic Contributions, or Additional Contributions (as
these terms are defined in CAP) during a calendar year for purposes of
CAP shall be effective with respect to this Plan until the calendar
year following the calendar year in which the change is made.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, an election made by a participant under
this Plan will be void if made after the beginning of the calendar year
to which the election relates or the participant reduces his Basic
Contributions, or Additional Contributions (as these terms are defined
in CAP) during the calendar year to which the election relates. The
amount of salary deferrals under the Plan shall be and remain solely
the property of the participant's employer and a participant shall have
no right to such amounts. The amount deferred hereunder shall be
credited to a book account as deferrals are made and shall remain part
of the employer's general assets. Notwithstanding anything above in
this paragraph to the contrary, commencement of participation in this
Plan and an employee's initial deferral election may occur after the
beginning of a calendar year if in accordance with Paragraph 4. of
Article III.
2. PARTICIPATING EMPLOYER CREDITS
A participant's participating employer shall maintain, or cause to be
maintained, a book account for such participant to which the
participating employer shall credit an amount equal to the Basic
Matching Contributions (as this term is defined in CAP) that the
participating employer would have made on the participant's behalf to
CAP had the participant's Basic Contributions continued to be made to
CAP, instead of by salary deferral under this Plan.
-4-
<PAGE>
3. SPECIAL PARTICIPATING EMPLOYER CREDIT
The participating employer of a participant eligible to receive a special
participating employer credit shall credit to the book account maintained
for the participant an amount equal to the difference between (1) the
Matching Employer Contributions (as this term is defined in CAP) that the
participating employer would have made on the participant's behalf to CAP
had the participant made the maximum Pretax Contributions and Additional
Post-Tax Contributions permitted under CAP and without regard to the Annual
Additions Limit and (2) the Matching Employer Contributions actually made
on behalf of the participant during the 1987 year.
4. NONFORFEITABILITY OF AND EARNINGS ON BOOK ACCOUNTS
a. NONFORFEITABILITY
All amounts credited to book accounts on behalf of participants shall
be non-forfeitable.
b. EARNINGS
Participant, participating employer and special participating employer
contributions will be credited to book accounts as of the date such
contributions would have been made to CAP. All amounts credited to
book accounts shall be credited with interest based on the performance
of the CAP Stable Value Fund and such book accounts shall be revalued
monthly.
V. DISTRIBUTIONS
Each participating employer shall distribute to each participant in the
Plan for whom it maintains book accounts or his beneficiary under CAP an
amount in cash equal to 100% of the value of his book account(s) upon the
termination of employment of such participant under circumstances
entitling him or his beneficiary to a distribution of the participant's
interest in CAP whether or not a distribution is made at that time from
CAP.
-5-
<PAGE>
VI. GENERAL PROVISIONS
1. RIGHT TO TERMINATE
This Plan may be terminated at any time by the Company. The Company or
any participating employer may terminate this Plan with respect to its
employees participating in CAP. If a participating employer shall
terminate CAP with respect to its employees the amounts to their credit
in their book accounts established under this Plan shall be payable out
of the general assets of the employer to such participants in a single
sum in accordance with the provisions of CAP applicable in the event of
termination of CAP or the complete discontinuance of contributions
thereto.
2. RIGHT TO AMEND
This Plan may be amended at any time by the Board of Directors of the
Company, except that no such amendment shall reduce for any participant
the amount then credited to his book account established under this
Plan.
3. NONALIENATION OF BENEFITS
No right to payment or any other interest under this Plan shall be
assignable or subject to attachment, execution, or levy of any kind.
4. EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIPS
Nothing in this Plan shall be construed as giving any employee the
right to be retained in the employ of any participating employer. Each
participating employer in the Plan expressly reserves the right to
dismiss any employee at any time without regard to the effect which
such dismissal might have upon him under the Plan.
-6-
<PAGE>
5. PLAN NOT FUNDED
Benefits payable under this Plan shall not be funded and shall be made
out of the general funds of the participating employer.
6. CONSTRUCTION
This Plan shall be construed, administered and enforced according to
the laws of the State of Texas.

DEFERRAL OF COMPENSATION
2.1 ELECTION TO DEFER. A Participant may elect to defer all or a portion of
his compensation to be awarded under the VIP by filing a written election
with the Committee on forms to be prescribed by the Committee. Such
election must include a designation of beneficiary and an irrevocable
election of a method of payment as described in Articles IV and V. Any
such election shall apply to compensation to be earned in years beginning
after the effective date of the election. Any election made by a
Participant under the predecessor Deferred Compensation Plan shall
continue in effect under this Plan.
2.2 AMOUNT OF DEFERRAL. The amount of compensation to be deferred in any year
shall be designated by the Participant as a percentage of his
compensation in multiples of 5% but shall not be less than 10%.
2.3 TIME OF ELECTION. A separate election to defer must be filed for each
year and must be received by the end of the year preceding the year in
which the compensation is earned. Any election by a Participant with
respect to a compensation in a given year will not preclude a different
action with respect to compensation in subsequent years.
ARTICLE III
DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNTS
3.1 CREATION OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNT. The Company shall establish a
Deferred Compensation Account for each Participant. The account will be
the account the Company shall use to record any deferred compensation and
any amount transferred from the predecessor Deferred Compensation Plan to
this Plan as of November 1, 1988. The account shall be credited at the
time Participant would have otherwise been entitled to such compensation.
-3-
<PAGE>
3.2 CREDITING SHARE UNITS. Share Units shall be credited to a Participant's
Deferred Compensation Account at the time the compensation would
otherwise have been paid had no election to defer been made. The number
of Share Units to be credited to the Deferred Compensation Account shall
be determined by dividing the compensation by the closing price for
Shares as reported on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE")-Composite
Transactions on the day on which the compensation would otherwise have
been paid. Any fractional Share Units shall also be credited to a
Participant's Deferred Compensation Account. The number of Share Units
in a Deferred Compensation Account shall be appropriately adjusted by the
Committee in the event of changes in the Company's outstanding common
stock by reason of stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations,
reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations, exchanges or
other relevant changes in capitalization, and such adjustments shall be
conclusive. Share Units shall not entitle any person to the rights of a
stockholder.
3.3 CREDITING CASH UNITS. Cash units shall be credited to a Participant's
Deferred Compensation Account at the time the compensation would
otherwise have been paid had no election to defer been made.
3.4 CREDITING DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS. As additional deferred compensation for
Participants with Share Units credited to their Deferred Compensation
Accounts, the Company shall credit the Participant's Deferred
Compensation Account with Dividend Equivalents being equal to the
dividends declared on the Company's common stock. The crediting shall
occur when said dividends are paid. The number of Share Units to be
credited to the Deferred Compensation Account shall be determined by
dividing the Dividend Equivalents by the closing price for Shares as
reported on the NYSE-Composite Transactions on the date the dividends
are paid on the Company's Shares. Any fractional Share Units shall also
be credited to a Participant's Deferred Compensation Account. During the
seven months immediately before a date selected for withdrawal from the
Share Unit account (other than the date of death, disability,
termination, or retirement), dividend equivalents on share units shall be
paid only in Cash Units.
3.5 CREDITING INTEREST EQUIVALENTS. As additional deferred compensation for
Participants with Cash Units credited to their Deferred Compensation
Accounts, the Company shall credit the Participant's Deferred
Compensation Account on a quarterly basis with an Interest Equivalent.
-4-
<PAGE>
3.6 REDIRECTING DEFERRED UNITS. A Participant may direct from time to time,
but not more than once in any 12-month period, that all or any part of
the balance in the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account be
changed from Cash Units to Share Units, based upon the closing price of
Shares as reported on the NYSE-Composite Transactions on the date written
instructions, with respect to the change, are received by the Company,
provided that during the seven months immediately before a date selected
for withdrawal from the Share Unit account (other than the date of death,
disability, termination, or retirement) no transfer may be made from Cash
Units to Share Units. For purposes of converting Cash Units into Share
Units, there shall be taken into account interest accrued since the last
quarterly valuation.
ARTICLE IV
PAYMENT OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION
4.1 TIME OF PAYMENT. All payments of a Participant's Deferred Compensation
Account shall be made at, or shall commence on, the earliest of the
following dates:
(a) Separation from employment,
(b) Retirement,
(c) Permanent and Total Disability, and
(d) Death of a participant, in which case, payment will be made to the
heir, beneficiary, or successor designated by the employee under
Article V, provided, however, that the Participant may irrevocably
designate such other date on which payment will commence, so long
as the latest date shall not be more than three years following
retirement or separation from employment.
4.2 METHOD OF PAYMENT. Participant shall have the option of selecting either
a lump sum payment or a series of annual installments (not exceeding 10),
provided such election is irrevocable and made at the date of deferral.
Participant shall receive in cash all deferred compensation credited to
such Participant's Deferred Compensation Account. Share Units credited
to the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account shall be valued at the
closing price for Shares as reported on the NYSE-Composite Transactions
on the day of payment.
-5-
<PAGE>
4.3 HARDSHIP DISTRIBUTION. Participant may request a modification in the
payment terms hereunder only in the event of severe financial hardship
and only to the extent reasonably necessary to eliminate the hardship.
Such request shall specify in detail the grounds for the requested
modification and shall be referred to the Committee. A qualifying
severe financial hardship must be caused by accident, illness, or event
beyond the control of the Participant. The decision of the Committee
with respect to the requested modification shall be solely at the
discretion of the Committee and in accordance with its evaluation of the
exigencies of the situation. Such decision shall be binding on the
Company and Participant.
ARTICLE V
DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARIES
The Participant shall name a beneficiary to receive any payments due him at
the time of his death, with the right to change such beneficiary at anytime.
The beneficiary named by a Participant under the predecessor Deferred
Compensation Plan shall remain the Participant's beneficiary until changed by
a Participant under this Plan. In case of a failure of designation or the
death of the designated beneficiary without a designated successor,
distribution shall be made to the person or persons designated as beneficiary
in the designation most recently filed under the Oryx Energy Company Capital
Accumulation Plan, or if no such designation has been made or the Participant
is not participating in such programs, the surviving spouse of a deceased
Participant, or, if there is no surviving spouse, the children of the
Participant in equal shares (the share of any child who predeceases the
Participant to go in equal shares to the issue of such deceased child), or if
there is no surviving spouse, child, or issue of such children, the estate of
the Participant. No designation of beneficiaries shall be valid unless in
writing signed by the Participant, dated and filed with the Committee. Upon
the Participant's death, any balance in the Participant's Deferred
Compensation Account is payable under the method elected by the Participant
or in such other manner as the Committee may determine in its sole
discretion.
-6-
<PAGE>
ARTICLE VI
SOURCE OF PAYMENTS
All payments of deferred compensation shall be paid in cash from the general
funds of the Company and the Company shall be under no obligation to
segregate any assets in connection with the maintenance of the Deferred
Compensation Account, nor shall anything contained in this Plan or any action
taken pursuant to the Plan create or be construed to create a trust of any
kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and Participant. Title
to the beneficial ownership of any assets, whether cash or investments, which
the Company may designate to pay the amount credited to the Deferred
Compensation Account shall at all times remain in the Company and Participant
shall not have any property interest whatsoever in any specific assets of the
Company. Participant's interest in the Deferred Compensation Account shall
be limited to the right to receive payments pursuant to terms of this Plan
and such rights to receive shall be no greater than the right of any other
unsecured general creditor of the Company.
ARTICLE VII
NONALIENATION OF BENEFITS
Participant shall not have the right to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise
convey or encumber in whole or in part the right to receive any payment under
this plan except in accordance with Article V.
ARTICLE VIII
ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
The terms and conditions of this Plan shall be binding upon the heirs,
beneficiaries, and other successors in interest of Participant to the same
extent that said terms and conditions are binding upon the Participant. This
Plan shall not be construed in any way as an employment contract requiring
the Company or Participant to continue the employment relation.
-7-
<PAGE>
ARTICLE IX
ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
The Plan shall be administered by the Committee which shall have full
authority and power to interpret, amend and administer the Plan and shall
make such rules and regulations and establish such procedures for the
administration of this Plan in its sole discretion as it deems appropriate.
In the event of any dispute or disagreements as to the interpretation of this
Plan or of any rules, regulation, or procedure or as to any questioned right
or obligation arising from or related to this Plan, the decision of the
Committee shall be final and binding upon all persons. The Committee may

Compensation Committee in its sole discretion, and may be suspended or
amended at any time without notice or cause by the Committee in its sole
discretion provided, however, that no such amendment or termination shall
adversely affect the rights of Participants or their beneficiaries with
respect to amounts credited to Deferred Compensation Accounts prior to such
amendment or termination, without the written consent of the Participant.
ARTICLE XI
CONSTRUCTION
In the case of any one or more of the provisions contained in this Plan
shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect the remaining

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's discussion and analysis of the Company's financial position and
results of operations which follows should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and Selected Financial Data included in this
report.
BUSINESS CLIMATE
The Company's realized oil price in 1995 increased by $1.29 to $16.35 per
barrel, or 9 percent more than the 1994 price. The increase in 1995 followed a 6
percent decline in 1994 compared to 1993. The fundamentals in worldwide oil
markets continue to reflect an excess of supply over demand. Concerns regarding
the reentry of Iraq into world crude markets depress prices.
The Company's realized U.S. gas price in 1995 fell by $.14 to $1.73 per mcf
or 7 percent lower than the 1994 price. The U.S. experienced mild weather in
early 1995 which resulted in low prices. Extremely cold winter weather caused
record high prices in late 1995 and early 1996. The Company produced 73 mmeb in
1995, 57 percent crude and 43 percent natural gas.
In January 1995, the Company announced its new corporate direction which
included a plan to refocus its strategic direction, reduce debt by approximately
$400 million by the end of 1995, reposition assets to a base level where growth
is more reasonably assured and restore profitability through the lowering of
costs at all levels. In 1995, debt was reduced by $508 million and costs,
excluding restructuring provisions, were $112 million or 10 percent lower than
1994.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
ED&A outlays differ from capital expenditures in that they exclude
capitalized interest but include cash exploration costs. ED&A outlays were $300
million in 1995, compared to $314 million in 1994 and $451 million in 1993. In
1995, 22 percent of the Company's total ED&A investment was on exploration and
78 percent on development. In 1996, total ED&A outlays are expected to be $420
million of which about 80 percent is targeted for development and acquisition
and 20 percent for exploration, primarily in the U.S. FD&A costs per eb were
$5.86 in 1995. The average FD&A cost for the five years 1991 through 1995 was
$5.04 per eb and the average production replacement rate was 92 percent. In
1995, the Company replaced 67 percent of its production.
The Company's cash flow available for investment will continue to be
affected by prevailing oil and gas prices, costs and volumes. The Company is
basing its 1996 investment plans on oil and gas spot prices averaging $18.00 per
barrel and $1.80 per mmbtu. These assumptions are subject to change, along with
the associated investment levels.
The Company emphasizes projects that generate near-term cash flow and
de-emphasizes entry into new countries. The Gulf of Mexico is the cornerstone of
the Company's growth strategy.
In July 1995, the Company completed the sale of all of its assets in the
Alba field in the U.K. North Sea for cash consideration of $270 million. The
sale of the Company's assets in Alba was part of a series of related asset
dispositions which the Company entered into in 1995 for the purpose of reducing
debt. In November 1995, the Company completed the sale of its interest in Block
48/15a in the U.K. North Sea for $120 million. Assets sold included the
Company's interest in the Audrey field; its interest in the Galleon field; and
the Ensign discovery. In addition, the Company completed sales of certain U.S.
assets and all of its assets in Indonesia and Gabon. The sale of U.S. assets
occurred primarily during the six months ended June 30, 1995 and generated cash
proceeds of $77 million; the sale of the Indonesian assets occurred in May 1995,
for cash proceeds of $67 million; and the sale of the Gabonese assets occurred
in March 1995 for cash proceeds of $2 million. In 1995, the Company generated
net proceeds from divestments of $517 million, as compared to $78 million in
1994 and $46 million in 1993.

<PAGE>
In 1994, the Company exchanged its interest in the undeveloped U.K.
Britannia field for a doubling of its interests in the U.K. Hutton, Lyell and
Murchison producing fields and $40.4 million in cash. This transaction increased
near-term production volumes and considerably reduced future development
expenditures. Effective January 9, 1995, the Company took over operatorship of
the Hutton, Lyell and Murchison fields.
Capital expenditures in 1993 included $33 million to acquire an additional
interest in the U.K. Ninian field.
Effective June 1, 1995, the Company replaced its $620 million revolving
credit facility with a $500 million revolving credit facility (Revolver) which
matures on June 30, 1998. The terms of the $500 million Revolver incorporate
restrictive covenants, including limitations on total debt, minimum cash flow
interest coverage and certain dividend limitations. In August 1995, as a result
of the sale of the Company's interest in the Alba field, the Company was
required by the holder to repay the 7.2% $100 million note.
In connection with the aforementioned, the Company recognized a non-cash
extraordinary loss of $15 million (net of $8 million of income tax). The $15
million extraordinary loss is comprised of $14 million from the write-off of
debt issuance costs deferred under the $620 million revolving credit facility
and a prepayment penalty of $1 million on the 7.2% $100 million note.
In August 1995, a swap option, in the notional amount of $250 million sold
by the Company in 1993 for $14 million, was exercised by the counterparties,
thereby obligating the Company, commencing September 15, 1995 and continuing
through September 15, 1998, to pay an annual rate of 9.75 percent while
receiving LIBOR (5.875 percent at September 15, 1995, to be reset at six-month
intervals). The $14 million of proceeds previously received is being amortized
and netted against the interest expense associated with the exercise of the swap
option.
The Company called for redemption on October 30, 1995 its $138 million
10 3/8% Debentures at 106.471 percent of par plus accrued interest, which
resulted in an $8 million extraordinary loss (net of $3 million of income tax)
in the fourth quarter. The redemption was funded with proceeds from divestments.
On October 20, 1995, the Company issued $100 million 8% Notes Due October
15, 2003 and $150 million 8.125% Notes Due October 15, 2005. The net proceeds of
$245 million were applied to the redemption of the Company's $250 million 9.75%
Notes Due September 15, 1998 on November 30, 1995 at par plus accrued interest.
The Company's total debt was $1,203 million at December 31, 1995, compared to
$1,711 million at December 31, 1994.
Cash was $20 million at the end of 1995 and $10 million at the end of 1994.
The Company's current borrowing capacity is more than adequate to meet its needs
under existing economic conditions. Moreover, the Revolver is available to
support the outstanding commercial paper program, potential refinancing needs
and general liquidity.
In December 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of."
Adoption did not impact results of operations.
During 1994, Standard & Poor's downgraded the Company's senior unsecured
debt from BBB- to BB, subordinated debt from BB+ to B+ and commercial paper from
A-3 to B. Subsequently, the holders of the Company's senior ESOP notes
(approximately $100 million principal outstanding) exercised their right to
require the Company to repay the notes in full plus a makewhole premium (see
Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company recognized a $12
million extraordinary loss associated with the notes, which were repaid in 1995.
During 1995, holders of the Company's Series B Junior Cumulative Convertible
Preference Stock (Series B Preference) converted the remaining shares of Series
B Preference into common stock on a share-for-share basis.

<PAGE>
In 1992, the amount of the quarterly dividend on common stock was reduced
from $.30 per share to $.10 per share. In 1994, the Board of Directors suspended
the dividend.
Any shortfall in expected cash flow from operating activities may require
adjustment of business plans. Among its options, the Company can defer
discretionary ED&A outlays, draw against the unused portion of the Revolver,
seek additional bank borrowings or seek access to capital markets. The Company
is in compliance with all the covenants in its Revolver and expects to remain in
compliance under existing conditions. The ability to incur additional
indebtedness as well as the long-term cash generation capability is ultimately
tied to the value of the Company's proved reserve base.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Net income in 1995 was $135 million which included net gains of $137 million
from the sale of assets, a $23 million extraordinary item related to early
extinguishment of debt (see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements)
and a $16 million net restructuring charge. Production volumes decreased by 8
mmeb or 10 percent as a direct result of the sale of producing assets. Total
costs and expenses decreased $112 million or 10 percent to $968 million in 1995
from $1,080 in 1994, excluding the restructuring provision.
The net loss for 1994 was $1,025 million, which included a $948 million
cumulative effect of an accounting change (see Note 7 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements), $12 million extraordinary item related to early
retirement of debt (see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and a
$59 million restructuring charge (net of $33 million of income tax). Production
volumes increased by 4 mmeb or 5 percent primarily from the U.K. North Sea.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense declined by $124 million or 31
percent because of the accounting change which decreased the Company's producing
property balance by $1,355 million. (See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.) General and administrative expense decreased by 20 percent
primarily because of fewer employees and capitalized interest decreased by 76
percent because of the completion of certain development projects. Total costs
and expenses decreased $82 million or 7 percent to $1,080 million in 1994 from
$1,162 million in 1993, excluding the restructuring provision.
The net loss for 1993 was $100 million which included tax-related charges of
$16 million including the recognition of a higher U.S. corporate tax rate, $5
million of losses on asset disposals and a $7 million extraordinary loss related
to early debt retirement. Production volumes fell by 10 percent due primarily to
asset sales and normal declines. Total costs and expenses decreased $157 million
or 12 percent to $1,162 million in 1993 from $1,319 million in 1992, excluding
the provisions for restructuring and relinquishment of non-producing properties.
RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
The Company incurred provisions for restructuring of $25 million in 1995 and
$92 million in 1994. The 1994 provision consisted of a charge of $161 million
provided in the first quarter, revised to $76 million because of the accounting
change, and $16 million provided in the fourth quarter. The restructuring
program involves some consolidation of the Company's business. The net result of
these actions has been a reduction of approximately 600 positions which, along
with other actions taken, should lead to an additional $91 million cost
reduction for 1996. For analyses of the restructuring provisions, see Note 5 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements.
HEDGING ARRANGEMENTS
The Company, from time to time, enters into hedging arrangements for foreign
currencies, interest rates and oil and gas prices. The Company has entered into
swap agreements for approximately 12 percent of its estimated 1996 crude oil
production with an average price of $18.48 per barrel. Approximately 41 percent
of its estimated 1996 U.S. gas production is under swap agreements with an
average price of $1.83 per mmbtu. (See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.)

<PAGE>
MARKETING
During the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company, Apache Corporation and
Parker & Parsley Petroleum Company formed Producers Energy Marketing, LLC
(ProEnergy). Upon commencement of full operations, which is expected to occur in
the second quarter of 1996, ProEnergy will purchase substantially all of its
members' U.S. gas production at index prices.
INCOME TAXES
Oryx Energy adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," effective
January 1, 1992. The overall effect for remeasurement of foreign deferred tax
was a benefit of $5 million in 1993, a charge of $2 million in 1994 and no
effect in 1995. As a result of applying the provisions of SFAS No. 109, a
non-cash charge or credit is included in business results based on the change in
foreign exchange rates and the corresponding impact on the deferred tax
liability. The Company believes these items tend to distort current period
business results and should be disregarded in analyzing its current business.
POSTRETIREMENT AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
Oryx Energy adopted SFAS No. 106, "Accounting for Postretirement Benefits,"
effective January 1, 1993, and began accruing the cost of postretirement
benefits other than pensions. The after-tax impact of $59 million, reduced by
curtailments in 1994 and 1995, is being amortized over a 20-year period. The
increase in annual expense for providing these benefits was $3 million after
taxes. However, cash outflows were unaffected.
Oryx Energy also adopted SFAS No. 112, "Employer's Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits," effective January 1, 1993, and began accruing the cost
of postemployment benefits. Since the Company has previously recognized certain
costs as required by this standard, the effect of adoption was insignificant.
ENVIRONMENTAL
The Company's oil and gas operations are subject to stringent environmental
regulations. The Company is dedicated to the preservation of the environment and
has committed significant resources to comply with such regulations. Although it
has been named as a potentially responsible party at sites related to past
operations, the Company believes it is in general compliance with applicable
governmental regulations and that the potential costs to it, in the aggregate,
are not material to its financial condition. However, risks of substantial costs
and liabilities are inherent to the oil and gas business. Should other
developments occur, such as increasingly strict environmental laws, regulations
and enforcement policies or claims for damages resulting from the Company's
operations, they could result in additional costs and liabilities in the future.

ORYX ENERGY COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
Oryx Energy Company together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the
Company) was incorporated in Delaware in 1971 and became a publicly traded
company on November 1, 1988. The Company's business operations consist of the
exploration for and development and production of oil and natural gas reserves.
Since December 1, 1985, the Company has functioned as the managing general
partner for and has conducted its United States operations through Sun Energy
Partners, L.P. The majority of the Company's operations located outside of the
United States were acquired effective January 1, 1990 and are identified herein
by the separate geographic areas of the United Kingdom and Other Foreign.
The consolidated financial statements contain the accounts of the Company
after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. The Company's
interests in Sun Energy Partners, L.P. and its related operating partnerships
(Partnership) are fully consolidated.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of
less than three months to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at
cost which approximates market value.
PROPERTIES, PLANTS AND EQUIPMENT
The successful efforts method of accounting is followed for costs incurred
in oil and gas operations.
Capitalization Policy -- Acquisition costs are capitalized when incurred.
Costs of unproved properties are transferred to proved properties when proved
reserves are added. Exploration costs, including geological and geophysical
costs and costs of carrying unproved properties, are charged against income as
incurred. Exploratory drilling costs are capitalized initially; however, if it
is determined that an exploratory well did not find proved reserves, such
capitalized costs are charged to expense, as dry hole costs, at that time.
Development costs are capitalized. Costs incurred to operate and maintain wells
and equipment are expensed.
Leasehold Impairment and Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization --
Periodic valuation provisions for impairment of capitalized costs of unproved
properties are expensed. The acquisition costs of proved properties are depleted
by the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves by field. Capitalized
exploratory drilling costs which result in the addition of proved reserves and
development costs are amortized by the unit-of-production method based on proved
developed reserves by field.
Ceiling Test -- Effective January 1, 1994, the Company changed its policy
for performing ceiling test comparisons to an individual field basis. Prior to
1994, the Company performed its ceiling test comparisons on a worldwide basis.
Prior to December 1995, the Company impaired the net book value of its proved
properties to the extent that they exceeded the estimated undiscounted future
pre-tax cash flows calculated by using current realized prices and costs held
constant. In December 1995, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." Under SFAS No. 121,
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
a long-lived asset may not be recoverable, the Company reviews for impairment by
comparing estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of an
asset and its eventual disposition to the carrying amount of the asset (Note 7).

Dismantlement, Restoration and Abandonment Costs -- Estimated costs of
future dismantlement, restoration and abandonment are accrued as a component of
depreciation, depletion and amortization expense; actual costs are charged to
the accrual.
Retirements -- Gains and losses on the disposals of fixed assets are
generally reflected in income. For certain property groups, the cost less
salvage value of property sold or abandoned is charged to accumulated
depreciation, depletion and amortization except that gains and losses for these
groups are taken into income for unusual retirements or retirements involving an
entire property group.
CAPITALIZED INTEREST
The Company capitalizes interest costs incurred as a result of the
acquisition and installation of significant assets.
INCOME TAXES
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes" in 1992. The remeasurement provisions of SFAS No. 109 have affected the
reported earnings of the Company for 1994 and 1993. Earnings for 1994 and 1993
were increased (decreased) by $(2) million and $5 million from remeasuring the
Company's foreign deferred tax liabilities. Management believes that such
non-cash remeasurements distort current period economic results and should be
disregarded in analyzing the Company's current business. Future economic results
may also be distorted because payment of the deferred tax liability is not
expected to occur in the near-term and it is likely that exchange rates will
fluctuate prior to the eventual settlement of the liability.
PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
The Company has established noncontributory defined benefit plans and
defined contribution plans to provide retirement benefits for most of its
employees. Pension benefits are charged against earnings over the periods in
which they are earned by the employees (Note 14).
In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company provides certain
health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees and certain
insurance and other postemployment benefits for individuals whose employment is
terminated by the Company prior to their normal retirement. Substantially all of
the Company's employees may become eligible for postretirement benefits if they
reach normal retirement age while working for the Company. Historically, the
cost of retiree health care and life insurance benefits and certain
postemployment benefits have been recognized as expenses as such claims or costs
were paid. In December 1990, SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," was issued and it requires
companies to recognize the costs of postretirement benefits other than pensions
on an accrual basis. The Company adopted SFAS No. 106 in 1993, and began
accruing the cost of postretirement benefits other than pensions. The related
transition obligation of $59 million after-tax is being amortized over a
twenty-year period. The increase in annual expense for providing these benefits
was $3 million after-tax. However, cash outflows are unaffected by the adoption
of SFAS No. 106.
In November 1992, SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits" was issued. It requires companies to recognize the costs of
postemployment benefits on an accrual basis. The Company adopted SFAS No. 112 in
1993, and began accruing the cost of postemployment benefits. Since the Company
had previously recognized certain costs as required by this standard, the effect
of adoption was insignificant.

SALES OF OIL AND GAS
Sales of oil and gas are recorded on the entitlement method. Differences
between actual production and entitlements result in amounts due when
underproduction occurs and amounts owed when overproduction occurs.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for the Company's consolidated
foreign operations. For those operations, all transaction gains or losses from
currency fluctuations are included in income currently.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE HEDGING CONTRACTS
The Company, from time to time, enters into foreign currency hedging
arrangements to hedge the impact of changes in exchange rates on its receivables
and payables denominated in British pounds. Gains and losses realized from such
arrangements offset transaction gains and losses which are included in the
measurement of the related foreign currency transactions (Note 2).
INTEREST RATE HEDGING AGREEMENTS
The Company enters into interest rate hedging agreements to alter the
floating rate portion of its underlying debt portfolio. Advance proceeds
received under such agreements are included in deferred credits and other
liabilities and are amortized as offsets to interest and debt expense over the
relevant periods. The differentials paid or received during the terms of such
agreements are accrued as interest rates change and are recorded as adjustments
to interest and debt expense (Note 2).
OIL AND GAS PRICE HEDGING ACTIVITY
The Company, from time to time, enters into arrangements to hedge the impact
of price fluctuations on anticipated crude oil and natural gas sales. Advance
payments under such contracts are deferred and charged to oil and gas revenue
during the anticipated sales periods. The differentials paid or received during
the terms of such agreements are accrued as oil and gas prices change and are
charged or credited to oil and gas sales (Note 2).
ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS
The Company establishes reserves for environmental liabilities as such
liabilities are incurred (Note 18).
STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles 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 items in years prior to 1995 have been reclassified to conform to
the 1995 presentation.
(2) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
DERIVATIVES
As discussed in Note 1, the Company enters into hedging arrangements for
foreign exchange, interest rates and crude oil and natural gas prices with major
financial institutions. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions
for trading purposes.
The Company is active in the foreign exchange market to hedge its economic
exposures to the British pound. In addition, the Company has exposures to other
currencies in countries in which it
12

does business. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company had forward and option
contracts outstanding with various expiration dates to purchase 52 million and
53 million net British pounds at various prices. At December 31, 1995 and 1994,
the fair values of the Company's outstanding foreign exchange contracts, based
on quoted market prices, were nil, which approximated their associated carrying
values. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company recognized a net
transaction loss of $1 million and net gains of $2 million from foreign exchange
contracts. For the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company
recognized net transaction gains of nil and $2 million, and net gains (losses)
from foreign exchange contracts of $1 million and $(6) million.
The Company also participates in various interest rate hedging arrangements
to manage the floating rate portion of its debt. At December 31, 1995 and 1994,
the Company was a party to interest rate hedging agreements having notional
amounts of $600 million, of which $350 million represented interest rate caps
(Caps) with maturities in 1997 and 1998. The remaining $250 million represented
interest rate swaps (Swaps) expiring in 1998 that had been under option at
December 31, 1994 and were subsequently exercised on August 15, 1995. The terms
of the Caps expose the Company to interest rate risk when LIBOR (5.5 percent at
December 31, 1995) exceeds 5 percent per year. Under the terms of the Caps, the
Company received advance proceeds of $19 million from the counterparties and
must pay the excess by which LIBOR exceeds 5 percent on the notional amounts.
Under the terms of the Swaps, the Company received advance proceeds of $14
million from the counterparties and must pay an annual rate of 9.75 percent
while receiving LIBOR (5.875 percent at September 15, 1995, to be reset at
six-month intervals). The terms of the Swaps decrease the exposure of the
Company to increases in LIBOR. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the aggregate
carrying values of the gains deferred from the Company's interest rate futures
agreements were $25 million and $32 million, and their estimated fair market
values, based on market quotes, were $37 million and $41 million.
At December 31, 1995, the Company was a party to crude oil and natural gas
hedging contracts to hedge about 8 percent of its estimated 1996 crude oil
production at an average price of $18.34 per barrel. Approximately 40 percent of
its estimated 1996 U.S. natural gas production was hedged at $1.81 per mmbtu. At
December 31, 1994, the Company was a party to crude oil and natural gas hedging
contracts to hedge about 10 percent of its estimated 1995 crude oil production
at $17.80 per barrel and 40 percent of its 1995 U.S. natural gas production at
$1.95 per mmbtu. These arrangements serve to reduce the volatility associated
with prices of crude oil and natural gas. The aggregate carrying values of these
assets at December 31, 1995 and 1994 were $5 million and nil, and the aggregate
fair values, subject to daily fluctuation, based on quotes from brokers, were
approximately $(21) million and $13 million.
All of the above mentioned derivative contracts expose the Company to credit
risks. The Company has established controls to manage this risk and closely
monitors the creditworthiness of its counterparties, which are major
institutions. The Company believes that losses from nonperformance are unlikely
to occur.
OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the carrying values of the Company's
long-term debt, including amounts due within one year, were $1,203 million and
$1,711 million (Note 11). At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the aggregate fair
values of the Company's long-term debt were approximately $1,233 million and
$1,671 million, estimated primarily based on quoted market prices for the same
or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the
same remaining maturities.

* Revenue generated substantially from gains on the sale of the Company's
interest in the following properties. In July 1995, the Company completed the
sale of all of its assets in the Alba field in the U.K. North Sea for cash
consideration of $270 million. In November 1995, the Company sold its interest
in Block 48/15a in the U.K. North Sea for $120 million. Assets sold included
the Company's 33.7 percent interest in the Audrey field; its estimated 10
percent interest in the Galleon field; and its undetermined interest in the
Ensign discovery. The sale of these North Sea assets was part of a series of
related asset dispositions which the Company has entered into in 1995 for the
purpose of using the associated net proceeds to reduce debt. In addition to
the sale of the North Sea assets, the Company has completed sales of certain
U.S. oil and gas producing assets and all its assets in Indonesia and Gabon.
The sale of U.S. assets occurred primarily during the six-month period which
ended on June 30, 1995 and generated cash proceeds of $77 million; the sale of
the Indonesian assets occurred in May 1995, for cash proceeds of $67 million;
and the sale of the Gabonese assets occurred in March 1995 for cash proceeds
of $2 million. Asset dispositions, totaling $536 million of gross proceeds,
represent 138 million equivalent barrels of proved reserves and 43 thousand
average equivalent barrels of production per day.

(7) ACCOUNTING CHANGE
In December 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, resulting in no material
impact.
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company changed its accounting policy for
calculating the oil and gas asset ceiling test from a total company basis to an
individual field basis. The Company believes the field basis is preferable
because it is the way the Company manages its business. The basis underlying the
calculation of the cumulative effect of this change is a comparison of the
undiscounted pre-tax cash flows of each field's then existing proved reserves to
its net book value at each quarter-end during the life of the asset. This
subjects the ceiling test valuation to the lowest quarter-end price experienced
17
<PAGE>
ORYX ENERGY COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(7) ACCOUNTING CHANGE (CONTINUED)
over the asset's life. Prior to this change, the Company compared its worldwide
undiscounted standardized measure of future net cash flows from estimated
production of proved oil and gas reserves before income taxes to its net proved
property, plant and equipment. As a result of this change, the Company
recognized a non-cash cumulative effect charge of $948 million ($1,355 million
pre-tax) to 1994 results. Excluding the cumulative charge, the Company's net
loss for 1994 was $77 million ($.68 per share before extraordinary item and $.80
per share after extraordinary item). On a pro forma basis, the Company's
reported net earnings for 1993 would have been a net loss of $699 million ($7.18
per share before extraordinary item and $7.25 per share after extraordinary
item) if this accounting change had been enacted prior to 1993.
(8) INCOME PER SHARE
The 5,259,394 and 7,259,394 shares of Series B Preference Stock in 1994 and
1993 were common stock equivalents. During 1995, the remaining 5,259,394 shares
were converted to Common Stock on a share-for-share basis. Conversion of the
Series B Preference Stock in 1994 or 1993 would have been anti-dilutive to the
Company's loss per share. The Company has reserved 5,111,438 shares of Common
Stock for issuance to the owners of its 7 1/2% Convertible Subordinated
Debentures Due 2014 (Debentures). The Debentures are convertible into the
Company's Common Stock at any time prior to maturity at $39.125 per share of
Common Stock. The Debentures are not common stock equivalents. If conversion of
the Debentures were assumed to have occurred, the result would have been anti-
dilutive to 1995, 1994 and 1993 income (loss) per share.

In the third quarter of 1995, as a result of the sale of the Company's
interest in the U.K. Alba field, the Company was required by the holder to repay
the 7.2 percent $100 million note, resulting in an after-tax extraordinary loss
of $1 million.
In the second quarter of 1995, the Company replaced its $620 million
revolving credit facility with a $500 million revolving credit facility which is
scheduled to mature on June 30, 1998, resulting in an after-tax extraordinary
loss of $14 million.
The Company pays a fee ranging from .375 percent to .5 percent of the unused
portion of its $500 million revolving credit facility. At year end 1995, the
Company had the capacity to borrow $270 million under such facility; however,
the amount can change daily. The commitments are subject to withdrawal if there
were to be an event of default.
The Company's long-term debt contains restrictive covenants, including a
limitation on total indebtedness; restriction on the payment of common stock
dividends and minimum cash flow interest coverage. At December 31, 1995, the
Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants.
During 1994, Standard & Poor's downgraded the Company's senior unsecured
debt from BBB- to BB, subordinated debt from BB+ to B+ and commercial paper to B
from A-3. Subsequently, the holders of the Company's senior ESOP notes
(approximately $100 million principal amount outstanding) exercised their right
to require the Company to repay the notes in full at par plus a makewhole
premium tied to prevailing rates of interest on U.S. Treasury obligations. As a
result of the downgrade, the Company recognized a $12 million (net of $5 million
of tax) extraordinary loss associated with the notes which were paid in full
subsequent to year-end 1994.
During 1994 and 1993, the Company repurchased $33 million and $78 million of
its 10.375 percent debentures at a total cost of $33 million and $88 million
resulting in a loss of $7 million (net of $3 million of tax) in 1993 which is
reflected as an extraordinary item in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
(12) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Company has operating leases for office space and other property and
equipment. Total rental expense for such leases for the years 1995, 1994 and
1993 was $41 million, $37 million and $32 million. Under contracts existing as
of December 31, 1995, future minimum annual rental payments applicable to
non-cancelable operating leases that have initial or remaining lease terms in
excess of one year, less minimum rentals to be received under non-cancelable
subleases, were as follows (in millions of dollars):

(12) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)
Several legal and administrative proceedings are pending against the
Company. Although the ultimate outcome of these proceedings cannot be
ascertained at this time, and it is reasonably possible that some of them could
be resolved unfavorably to the Company, management believes that any liabilities
which may arise would not be material.
(13) SHAREHOLDERS' DEFICIT
Effective in October 1988, 3,001,876 shares of Common Stock of the Company
were issued to an operating partnership of the Partnership in exchange for
certain assets, which shares have been deducted from the number of shares shown
in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as outstanding. Such shares are not entitled
to be voted at the annual meeting of shareholders. All other shares of Common
Stock are entitled to one vote per share.
On August 1, 1989, the Company privately placed $110 million of notes (ESOP
Notes) pursuant to the provisions of the Oryx Energy Company Capital
Accumulation Plan (CAP). The Company loaned the proceeds to the CAP which used
the funds to purchase Common Stock of the Company. Prior to 1995, the CAP made
scheduled loan payments using Company contributions to the CAP. In 1995 and
1996, repayments were and continue to be deferred pending a favorable ruling
from the Internal Revenue Service concerning the leveraged ESOP portion of the
CAP.
The Company has 272,740,606 authorized shares of stock, consisting of (i)
250,000,000 shares of Common Stock having a par value of $1.00 per share, (ii)
7,740,606 shares of Cumulative Preference Stock (Preference Stock) having a par
value of $1.00 and a liquidation preference of $.001 per share, and (iii)
15,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock (Preferred Stock) having a par value of
$1.00 per share. As of December 31, 1995, there were 104,454,562 shares of
Common Stock outstanding. There are two series of Preference Stock designated,
of which there were no shares of Series B Preference Stock outstanding and
120,000 shares of Series A Preference Stock designated and reserved for issuance
upon exercise of the Stock Purchase Rights, of which none were outstanding. The
Preferred Stock was authorized by vote of the shareholders on May 5, 1992 and
there are currently no shares of Preferred Stock designated or outstanding. In
addition, on December 31, 1995 the Company had reserved for issuance 5,111,438
shares of Common Stock on conversion of the outstanding 7 1/2% Convertible
Debentures and 2,722,374 shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of outstanding
management options.
COMMON STOCK
Each share of Common Stock entitles its record owner to one vote on all
matters submitted to the stockholders for action. The stockholders are not
entitled to cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Subject to
the rights of holders of any class of Preference Stock or Preferred Stock, the
holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in dividends in such
amount as may be declared by the Company's Board of Directors (Board) from time
to time out of funds legally available therefor. The payment of dividends on the
Common Stock is restricted under the Credit Agreement and is prohibited in the
event of a default.
PREFERENCE STOCK
The Board is authorized by the Certificate to issue Preference Stock in one
or more series and to fix for each such series such qualifications, privileges,
limitations, options, conversion rights and other special rights as are stated
and adopted by the Board and as are permitted by the Certificate and the
Delaware General Corporation Law, including the designation and number of shares
issuable, the dividend rate, voting rights, conversion rights, redemption and
sinking fund provisions and liquidation values of each such series.

(13) SHAREHOLDERS' DEFICIT (CONTINUED)
Holders of Preference Stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by
the Board out of assets legally available for that purpose, annual cumulative
dividends payable in quarterly installments. Unless full cumulative dividends on
the Preference Stock have been paid, no dividend may be declared or paid on, or
other distributions made upon, Preferred Stock or Common Stock, nor may any
Preferred Stock or Common Stock be redeemed or purchased by the Company.
Subject to certain conditions, the Company may redeem all or any part of the
Preference Stock then outstanding.
During 1995, the holders of Series B Preference Stock converted the
remaining shares of Series B Preference Stock into Common Stock on a
share-for-share basis.
PREFERRED STOCK
The Board is authorized by the Certificate to issue Preferred Stock in one
or more series and to fix for each such series such qualifications, privileges,
limitations, options, conversion rights and other special rights as are stated
and adopted by the Board and as are permitted by the Certificate and the
Delaware General Corporation Law, including the designation and number of shares
issuable, the dividend rate, voting rights, conversion rights, redemption and
sinking fund provisions and liquidation values of each such series.
Subject to the rights of holders of any class of Preference Stock, if any,
the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends, when and as
declared by the Board out of funds legally available for that purpose. As to
dividends and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Preferred
Stock will rank junior and subordinate to any series of Preference Stock and
prior to the Common Stock.
RIGHTS
On September 11, 1990, the Board declared a dividend distribution of one
Stock Purchase Right on each outstanding share of Common Stock, payable
September 28, 1990, to holders of record of the Common Stock on that date. The
Rights are also issuable upon the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock
prior to the time the Rights are redeemed or expire. Initially, the Rights are
represented by the certificates for the Common Stock and will trade only with
the Common Stock. The Rights will expire September 11, 2000 unless earlier
redeemed by the Company.
(14) EMPLOYEE AND RETIREE BENEFIT PLANS
DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS
The Company has noncontributory defined benefit plans which provide
retirement benefits for most of its employees. Plan benefits are generally based
on years of service, age at retirement and the employee's compensation. It is
the Company's policy to fund defined benefit pension contributions, at a
minimum, in accordance with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.
The cost of the Company's primary defined benefit pension plans consisted of
the following:

December 31, 1995, less than 1 percent of plan assets was invested in Common
Stock of the Company.
**Accrued pension liability is included in "Accrued Liabilities" and "Deferred
Credits and Other Liabilities" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the projected benefit obligations were
determined using weighted average assumed discount rates of 6.75 and 8 percent
and a rate of compensation increase of 4 percent. The weighted average expected
long-term rate of return on plan assets was 9.5 percent in 1995 and 1994. All of
these rates are subject to change in the future as economic conditions change.

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PENSION PLANS
Defined contribution plans, which are designed to provide retirement
benefits, are available to substantially all employees. Contributions, which are
principally based on employees' compensation, are expensed as incurred.
At December 31, 1995, the principal defined contribution plan is CAP, which
is a combined stock bonus and leveraged ESOP available to substantially all U.S.
employees. The first 5 percent of employee contributions are matched by the
Company at 110 percent up to the first $50,000 of employee base salary and at
100 percent thereafter. In 1994, the Company's contributions to CAP were used to
repay the debt issued to fund the purchase of Common Stock held by the leveraged
ESOP. In 1995, stock allocations to employees from the leveraged ESOP were
suspended pending a ruling requested from the IRS; therefore, there was no debt
service in the form of Company matching contributions made to the ESOP. Instead,
Company matching contributions were made using Treasury Stock. Benefit expense
recognized for defined contribution plans amounted to $3 million, $11 million
and $10 million for 1995, 1994 and 1993.
Additional information with respect to the leveraged ESOP portion of CAP is

HEALTH CARE AND LIFE INSURANCE BENEFITS
The Company sponsors unfunded defined benefit health care and life insurance
benefit plans to substantially all employees and retirees. Benefits under the
health care plan are provided on a self-insured basis or through a Health
Maintenance Organization. The health care plan provides comprehensive major
medical coverage which integrates with Medicare and contains provisions for cost
sharing with participants through contributions, coinsurance, deductibles and
caps on employer costs. Benefits under the life insurance plan are provided
through an insurance contract. The life insurance plan contains provisions for
retiree cost sharing through contributions and provides benefits based on
preretirement compensation with a scheduled reduction in benefits commencing at
age 66 and termination of all benefits at age 70 for substantially all
participants.
The cost of health care and life insurance benefit plans was $15 million,
$19 million and $20 million, of which $11 million, $14 million and $12 million
was for retirees in 1995, 1994 and 1993. The Company adopted SFAS No. 106 on
January 1, 1993, and in accordance with its provisions has changed to the
accrual accounting method in computing postretirement health care and life
insurance benefit plan expense. The Company formerly accounted for these costs
using the pay-as-you-go (cash) method.

* Accrued postretirement benefit liability is included in "Accrued Liabilities"
and "Deferred Credits and Other Liabilities" in the Consolidated Balance
Sheets.
The assumed health care cost trend rate used to measure the expected cost of
benefits covered by the plan is approximately 7 percent. Health care cost trend
rates for future years are assumed to gradually trend downward over a six-year
period to meet and thereafter parallel the projected rate of general inflation
of 4.5 percent. A 1-percent increase in the assumed health care cost trend rates
for future years would result in no significant increase in annual cost but an
increase of $6 million in the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for
the Company's health care plan.
The weighted average assumed discount rates used to measure the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation are 7 and 8 percent in 1995 and 1994. For the
life insurance plan, an assumed rate of increase of compensation of 4 percent
was used to measure the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation.
(15) MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLANS
The principal management incentive plans are the 1992 Long-Term Incentive
Plan (1992 LTIP), the Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) and the Executive
Long-Term Incentive Plan (ELTIP). The

ELTIP provides that no awards may be granted after November 1, 1988 and was
replaced by the LTIP which provides that no awards may be granted after December
31, 1991. All previous awards granted under both the ELTIP and LTIP remain in
effect in accordance with their terms. As of December 31, 1995, there were no
outstanding awards granted under the ELTIP. The 1992 LTIP replaced the LTIP and
became effective January 1, 1992. A maximum of 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock
were authorized for issuance under the 1992 LTIP.
Under the provisions of these plans, stock options, stock appreciation
rights and limited rights were granted in various tandem combinations so that
the exercise of any one of them will reduce, on a one-for-one basis, the tandem
options or rights. In addition, certain stock options were granted which become
exercisable (subject to the option vesting schedule) only upon the cancellation
of the related performance shares for non-attainment of performance targets.

SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" which was issued in

value based method of accounting (i.e., using an option pricing model such as
Black-Scholes) for employee stock option or similar equity instrument plans but
also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation costs for those plans
using the intrinsic value (the amount by which the market price of the
underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of an option) based method of
accounting as prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25. The Company plans to continue to
use the intrinsic value based method.

During 1994, the Company exchanged its interests in the undeveloped U.K.
North Sea Britannia field and certain other undeveloped domestic properties for
Conoco's interests in the developed U.K. North Sea Hutton, Lyell and Murchison
fields and certain undeveloped interests. This transaction was accounted for by
the Company as a non-cash property exchange, except for $40 million of
associated divestment proceeds received by the Company. During 1993, the Company
recognized deferred tax liabilities of $3 million associated with international
properties acquisitions. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows," non-cash transactions are not
reflected within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

(18) DEFERRED CREDITS AND OTHER LIABILITIES
At December 31, the Company's deferred credits and other liabilities were
comprised of the following:

(MILLIONS OF

</TABLE>
Environmental cleanup costs have been accrued in response to the
identification of several sites that require cleanup based on environmental
pollution, some of which have been designated as superfund sites by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Company has been named as a
potentially responsible party (PRP) at four sites pursuant to the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended. At
two of these sites, the Company has been named as a de minimis party and
therefore expects its liability to be small. At a third site, the Company is
reviewing its options and anticipates that it will participate in steering
committee activities with the EPA. At the fourth and largest site, the Operating
Industries, Inc. site in California, the Company has participated in a steering
committee consisting of 139 companies. The steering committee and other PRPs
previously entered into two partial consent decrees with the EPA providing for
remedial actions which have been or are to be completed. The steering committee
has successfully negotiated a third partial consent decree which provides for
the following remedial actions: a clay cover, methane capturing wells, and
leachate destruction facilities. The remaining work at the site involves
groundwater evaluation and long-term operation and maintenance. The Company is a
member of the group that is responsible for carrying out the first phase of the
work, which is expected to take 5 to 8 years. Completion of all phases is
estimated to take up to 30 years. The maximum liability of the group, which is
joint and several for each member of the group, is expected to range from
approximately $450 million to $600 million, of which the Company's share is
expected to be approximately $13 million. Cleanup costs are payable over the
period that the work is completed.
Based on the facts outlined above and the Company's ongoing analyses of the
actions where it has been identified as a PRP, the Company believes that it has
accrued sufficient reserves to absorb the ultimate cost of such actions and that
such costs therefore will not have a material impact on the Company's liquidity,
capital resources or financial condition. While liability at superfund sites is
typically joint and several, the Company has no reason to believe that defaults
by other PRPs will result in liability of the Company materially larger than
expected.

ORYX ENERGY COMPANY
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors, Oryx Energy Company:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oryx Energy
Company and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the related
consolidated statements of income, cash flows and changes in shareholders'
deficit for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company'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 consolidated financial position of Oryx Energy
Company and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Notes 1 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company changed its accounting policy for calculating the oil and gas asset
ceiling test in 1994 and its methods of accounting for postretirement benefits
other than pensions and postemployment benefits in 1993.

ESTIMATED NET QUANTITIES OF PROVED OIL AND GAS RESERVES
Proved reserve quantities were based on estimates prepared by Company
engineers in accordance with guidelines established by the Securities and
Exchange Commission and were reviewed by Gaffney, Cline & Associates, Inc.,
independent petroleum engineers. The Company considers such estimates to be
reasonable; however, due to inherent uncertainties and the limited nature of
reservoir data, estimates of underground reserves are imprecise and subject to
change over time as additional information becomes available.
There has been no major discovery or other favorable or adverse event that
has caused a significant change in estimated proved reserves since December 31,
1995. The Company has no long-term supply agreements or contracts with
governments or authorities in which it acts as producer nor does it have any
interest in oil and gas operations accounted for by the equity method.

*Natural gas reserve volumes include liquefiable hydrocarbons approximating 5
percent of total gas reserves which are recoverable downstream. Such
recoverable liquids also have been included in natural gas liquids reserve
volumes.
**Represents reserves received in the asset exchange. These amounts have been
excluded in calculating FD&A and reserve replacement (see Note 17).
STANDARDIZED MEASURE
The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows from estimated
production of proved oil and gas reserves after income taxes is presented in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 69, "Disclosures about Oil and Gas
Producing Activities." In computing this data, assumptions other than those
mandated by SFAS No. 69 could produce substantially different results. The
Company cautions against viewing this information as a forecast of future
economic conditions or revenues.
The standardized measure has been prepared assuming year-end selling prices
adjusted for future fixed and determinable contractual price changes, year-end
development and production costs,
34
<PAGE>
year-end statutory tax rates adjusted for future tax rates already legislated
and a 10 percent annual discount rate. The year-end realized prices were $17.95,
$15.31 and $11.75 per barrel of oil and $2.27, $1.82 and $2.03 per mcf of gas
for 1995, 1994 and 1993.
