REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the  Administrative  Committee  of the  Cabot Oil & Gas  Corporation  Savings
Investment Plan:

We have audited the  accompanying  statements  of net assets  available for plan
benefits of Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation  Savings Investment Plan ("the Plan") as
of December  31,  1994 and 1993,  and the  related  statement  of changes in net
assets  available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1994.  These
financial  statements  are the  responsibility  of the  Plan's  management.  Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements,  referred to above, present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in net assets  available for plan
benefits  for the year ended  December  31, 1994 in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audits  were  performed  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial  statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental  schedules of the Plan
are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part
of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary information required by
the  Department of Labor's Rules and  Regulations  for Reporting and  Disclosure
under the Employee  Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The fund information
in the statement of net assets  available for plan benefits and in the statement
of changes in net assets  available  for benefits is  presented  for purposes of
additional  analysis  rather than to present the net assets  available  for plan
benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund. The
supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic  financial  statements  for the year ended  December  31,
1994,  and,  in our  opinion,  are fairly  stated in all  material  respects  in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                            SAVINGS INVESTMENT PLAN

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




1.    Description of Plan:

     The following brief description of the Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation  Savings
Investment Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information  purposes only.
Participants  should  refer to the  summary  plan  description  and  legal  plan
document for more complete information.

      General

      Cabot  Oil & Gas  Corporation  ("COGC"  or  "Company")  was  previously  a
subsidiary  of Cabot  Corporation  ("Cabot").  In  February  1990,  the  Company
completed  its  initial  public  offering  of  approximately  18% of  the  total
outstanding shares of common stock and, accordingly, ceased to be a wholly-owned
subsidiary  of Cabot.  On March 28, 1991,  Cabot  completed  an exchange  offer.
Following  the  completion  of the  exchange  offer,  the  Company  became  100%
publicly-owned and ceased to be a subsidiary of Cabot.

      Effective  January 1, 1991,  COGC  established the Plan which is a defined
contribution benefit plan in which participation is voluntary on the part of the
employees.  Employees are eligible to become a participant  in the Plan upon the
first day of employment.

      Prior to the commencement of the Plan, COGC employees  participated in the
Cabot Profit  Sharing and Savings Plan  ("PSSP")  and the Cabot  Employee  Stock
Ownership  Plan  ("ESOP").  All  COGC  employees  who were  members  of the PSSP
automatically  became a  participant  in the Plan on January 1, 1991,  were 100%
vested with  respect to balances in the PSSP and ESOP as of December  31,  1990,
and had their PSSP and ESOP account  balances  transferred to the Plan. The Plan
assumed legal responsibility for the accrued benefits of such affected employees
on January 1, 1991.

      Benefits  under the ESOP were frozen as of  December  31,  1990.  The ESOP
balance is comprised of Cabot and/or COGC common stock.  The  participant is not
eligible to withdraw, exchange, or take a loan against the ESOP balance while an
active COGC employee.  Dividends earned on the ESOP common stock are distributed
to the other Plan investment  election(s)  according to the  participant's  most
recent  investment  election.  If such an election is not made by a participant,
dividends from the ESOP are placed in the money market fund.

      Vested Benefits

      A participant  can  contribute in the aggregate from 1% to 15% of eligible
compensation as defined in the Plan on a pre-tax (before federal and state taxes
are  withheld)  and/or  after-tax  basis  through  payroll  deduction,  with the

                                       F-6
<PAGE>

exception of Pennsylvania which requires that state taxes be withheld before the
pre-tax  contribution.  The  participant  is always  fully  vested in his or her
contributions  made on either a pre-tax or after-tax basis. The Company provides
an incentive for each employee to participate in the pre-tax portion of the Plan
by  matching  100%  of  the  first  4%   contributed.   None  of  the  after-tax
contributions by a participant are matched by the Company.  The company matching
contribution  vests 20% per year after the first year of vesting  service,  with
100% vesting attained after five years of vesting service.

      The  participant is credited with a year of vesting  service for each plan
year in which he or she has 1,000 or more hours of service.  Service  with Cabot
prior to January 1, 1991 counts as vesting service to the extent and in the same
manner as computed under the PSSP. A  participant's  account becomes 100% vested
with less than five years of vesting service as a result of either (i) permanent
and  total  disability,  (ii)  death  (account  value is paid to the  designated
beneficiary),  or (iii)  attainment  of age 65. The Plan was amended in February
1992 to 100% vest certain participants who were terminated due to a reduction in
workforce.

      If a participant  leaves COGC and is rehired within five years,  the prior
service  with  COGC  will be  restored  under  the  Plan.  Additionally,  if the
participant was partially  vested when the employment was initially  terminated,
COGC will redeposit any amount of the matching  contribution which was forfeited
from the account  (because the  participant  left before  becoming  100% vested)
after repayment by the participant of his or her previous distribution, if any.

      Investment Options and Other Elections

      The Plan offers eight different  investment options with varying levels of
risk for the participant to choose from, as follows:

      Fidelity  Money  Market  Trust:  Retirement  Money  Market  -  a  low-risk
investment and seeks  stability of principal and high money market  yields.  The
portfolio  manager invests in a variety of money market  instruments,  including
certificates of deposit,  banker's  acceptances,  commercial  paper,  repurchase
agreements and obligations of the U.S. government.

      Fidelity  Magellan Fund - seeks  capital  appreciation  primarily  through
investments in common stock, diversified across many sectors of the market. Some
of the  companies  in the fund's  portfolio  are  well-known,  while  others are
smaller or less well-known.  All of the stocks have a potential for growth. When
the  value of one  stock is down,  it may be  balanced  by the  rising  price of
another.

      Fidelity U.S. Equity Index Portfolio - seeks to match the compositions and
total  return of the  Standard  and Poor's Daily Stock Price Index of 500 common
stocks (S&P 500 Index),  while keeping transaction costs and other expenses low.
The  portfolio  manager tries to achieve this  objective by investing  mostly in
common  stocks of the 500  companies  that make up the S&P 500 Index.  Dividends
will be reinvested  automatically,  creating a compounding  effect on its value.
Share prices and returns will vary.

                                       F-7
<PAGE>

      Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Portfolio - seeks to match the investment returns
of the Shearson Lehman Hutton Aggregate Bond Index.  This index,  which includes
6,500  different  bond issues,  consists of about 75%  government  and corporate
bonds and about 25% mortgage-backed securities.

     Fidelity  Asset  Manager Fund - seeks a high total return with reduced risk
over the long term by  allocating it assets among  domestic and foreign  stocks,
bonds and short-term instruments.  In order to achieve the investment goals, the
Fund gradually shifts it assets among and across stocks,  bonds and money market
funds as merit or other conditions  change. The neutral mix for this fund is 40%
stocks, 40% bonds and 20% short-term investments.

     Fidelity  Asset Manager  Growth Fund - seeks to maximize  total return over
the  long  term  by  allocating  its  asset  among  stocks,  bonds,   short-term
investments and other  investments.  This fund gradually shifts its assets among
and  across  stocks,  bonds,  and  short-term  investments  as  market  or other
conditions  change.  The neutral mix for this fund is 65% stocks, 30% bonds, and
5% short-term investments.

     Fidelity Asset Manager Income Fund -- seeks a high current income through a
mixture of stocks, bonds and money market funds with an emphasis on money market
funds to promote  capital  preservation.  This fund gradually  shifts its assets
among  and  across  stocks,  bonds,  and money  market  funds as market or other
conditions  change.  The neutral mix for this fund is 20% stocks, 30% bonds, and
50% short-term investments.

     Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation Common Stock - provides participants the option
to invest  in COGC  common  stock,  effective  in the  second  quarter  of 1994.
Dividends paid on COGC common stock are automatically  reinvested in COGC common
stock.

      The Plan also allows the  participants to (i) change the percentage of pay
withheld  through  payroll  deduction  a maximum  of four  times per year,  with
changes  taking  effect the first pay period after advance  notice,  (ii) change
investment  fund  options  for future  contributions  at any time,  directly  by
telephone with the Fidelity Management Trust Company ("Trustee"), (iii) transfer
the total balance of his or her accumulated investments from one fund to another
four times per year, and (iv) discontinue participation in the Plan at any time,
to be effective the first pay period after advance notice.  Re-enrollment can be
at any time, except after a hardship withdrawal.

      Payment of Benefits

      A  participant  eligible  for a  distribution  from the Plan can  elect to
receive an immediate lump sum payment,  or if the participant's  account balance
exceeds $3,500 he or she can defer the payment up to age 70-1/2.

      An  exception is made for those  participants  who (i) had shares of Cabot
stock  transferred  from the  PSSP  and/or  ESOP to the Plan and (ii)  exchanged
shares of Cabot  common  stock in his or her PSSP and/or ESOP account for shares
of COGC common stock pursuant to an exchange  offer  completed by Cabot in April

                                       F-8
<PAGE>

1991.  Such  participants  can have the stock  balance paid in cash or as common
stock certificates.  If the participant decides to sell such stock certificates,
the  commission fee will be reflected in the net asset value of the stock trade.
Balances  transferred  to the Plan  from the PSSP  and/or  ESOP  retain  payment
options provided under the PSSP and/or ESOP.

      Withdrawals During Employment

      The  participant is eligible to make certain  withdrawals  while employed.
The first category of funds that is eligible for withdrawal  represents  amounts
that were  transferred  from the PSSP. The second  category  represents  amounts
contributed under the Plan.  Different rules apply to the withdrawal,  depending
on the category.  If a former member in the PSSP, the participant is eligible to
make either a voluntary  withdrawal  or a hardship  withdrawal  from the amounts
that  were  transferred.  A  voluntary  withdrawal  may be made  from  the  PSSP
after-tax and employeer  contribution accounts. Two voluntary withdrawals can be
made per year,  provided  that not more than two are made within three months of
each other.  A voluntary  withdrawal  will be  deducted  from the  participant's
account in a specific order as provided for in the Plan.

      A participant is also eligible for a hardship  withdrawal  from his or her
PSSP pre-tax account under the following conditions,  (i) in a year in which the
participant  has  already  made two  voluntary  withdrawals  and (ii) when three
months have not elapsed since the time of the last voluntary withdrawal. Special
rules apply which  determine the  hierarchy of access to the various  sources of
funds  including (i) the  participant  has already  withdrawn the full amount of
both the after-tax contributions and the vested Company contributions,  (ii) the
participant must have fully exhausted the ability to obtain funds from any other
source,  including a loan from the Plan, and (iii) the participant  submitted an
application to the Administrative Committee for a hardship withdrawal. Following
a hardship  withdrawal,  there will be an automatic  12-month  suspension of the
participant's pre-tax contributions.

      A  participant  can withdraw at any time an amount equal to the  after-tax
contributions  made to the Plan after  January 1, 1991.  The minimum  withdrawal
amount is $500. A withdrawal of after-tax contributions requires a withdrawal of
a proportionate share of investment earnings thereon,  which will be taxable and
will include 10% early  distribution tax if made before age 59-1/2 under current
tax laws.  Additionally,  the  participant  can  withdraw an amount equal to the
pre-tax  contributions  made to the plan after January 1, 1991 at any time after
age 59-1/2. This withdrawal will be taxable,  but will not include the 10% early
distribution tax under current tax laws.

      Loans to Participants

      A participant  can borrow up to 50% of his or her vested  account  balance
(excluding ESOP) while in the Plan. The amount borrowed may be from a minimum of
$1,000 to a maximum of  $50,000,  but never more than 50% of the vested  account
balance. Only one loan can be outstanding at any one time. A loan must be repaid
by payroll  deduction  over a period not to exceed five years;  early  payoff is
permitted.  The loan interest rate is set by the Administrative  Committee.  For
the 1994 plan year,  it was 1% above the prime rate charged by COGC's  principal

                                       F-9
<PAGE>

commercial  bank in  effect  at the time of the  loan.  The  set-up  fee and the
ongoing   administrative   fee  for  the  loan  are  charged   directly  to  the
participant's account on a quarterly basis.

 Withdrawals Upon Termination of Employment

      A participant  can withdraw the total vested amount in the Plan account as
a result of either (i) termination of employment (ii) retirement at age 65 or at
age 55 or later with 10 years of service or (iii) permanent and total disability
or death. The full value of the Plan account will be paid and will be subject to
income tax when the participant  retires or qualifies as permanently and totally
disabled,  unless an election is made by the  participant to roll over the funds
as allowed by the Internal Revenue Code. If death occurs before retirement,  the
full value of the account will be paid to the designated beneficiary.

      Disposition of Forfeitures by Participants

      A forfeiture of unvested  benefits shall be accounted for in the following
manner.  First,  the  forfeiture  shall be credited to the company  contribution
account  of  a  re-employed  participant  for  whom  a  reinstatement  of  prior
forfeiture  is required.  Second,  the  forfeiture  shall be applied  toward the
account of a former participant  pursuant to the unclaimed benefit provisions of
the Plan.  To the extent that  forfeitures  for any Plan year exceed the amounts
required to reinstate the accounts noted above, they will be applied against the
next succeeding Company contribution.

      Rollover Contributions

      Generally,  if a participant  received a qualified  total  distribution as
defined in the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986 as amended,  the  participant  can
deposit  or   "rollover"   those   funds  into  the  Plan  if  approved  by  the
Administrative Committee.


2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      Basis of Presentation

      The  accompanying  financial  statements have been prepared on the accrual
basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

      Valuation of Investments

      Investments  are recorded at fair market value based on market prices that
have been provided by the Trustee.

      Net Appreciation in Fair Market Value of Investments

      The  statement  of  changes  in net  assets  available  for Plan  benefits

      Plan Trustee

      Fidelity  Management Trust Company was appointed  trustee of the Plan by a
contract  dated June 1, 1991.  Under the  contract,  the trustee  shall hold all
property received, manage the plan and invest and reinvest Plan assets.

      Administrative Expenses

      Administrative   expenses   consist  of  all  expenses   incident  to  the
administration,  termination  or  protection  of the  Plan,  including,  but not
limited  to,  legal,  accounting,  investment  manager  and  trustee  fees.  All
administrative   expenses,   except  for  expenses   associated  with  loans  to
participants, were paid by the Company in 1994.

3.    Plan Termination

      While  the  Company  has not  expressed  any  intent  to  discontinue  its
contributions  or terminate  the Plan,  it is free to do so at any time.  In the
event of such a discontinuance  or termination of the Plan, all amounts credited
to the accounts of participants shall become fully vested and non-forfeitable.

5.    Tax Status of Plan

      The Plan is designed to constitute a "Qualified Plan" under the provisions
of Section 401(a) of the Internal  Revenue Code and,  therefore,  is exempt from
federal income tax under the provisions of Section 501(a). The Plan obtained its
latest  determination  letter on October 23, 1993, in which the Internal Revenue
Service stated that the Plan was in compliance with the applicable  requirements
of the Internal  Revenue Code.  The Plan was amended in 1994,  subsequent to the
receipt of the determination  letter.  The Plan Administrator and the Plan's tax
counsel  believe that the Plan is currently  designed and operated in compliance
with the applicable  requirements of the Internal  Revenue Code.  Therefore,  no
provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.
