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, 1995 and 1994, and the related statement of changes in net
assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1995. 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 benefit of the Plan as
of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1995 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 plan 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 and fund information have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 1995, and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

CABOT OIL & GAS CORPORATION SAVINGS INVESTMENT PLAN
Notes to the 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.
F-6
<PAGE>
1. Description of Plan, continued:
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 deductions, except for
employees residing in the state of Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania 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 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
1993 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:
The Fidelity Retirement Money Market Portfolio is 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.
The 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 reinvented automatically in participant accounts creating a
compounding effect on its value. Share prices and returns will vary.

Investment Options and Other Elections, continued
The 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.
The 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 other firms are
smaller or less well-known.
The Fidelity Assets 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. The 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.
The Fidelity Assets Manager Fund seeks a high total return with reduced
risk over the long term by allocating its assets among domestic and foreign
stocks, bonds and short-term instruments. In order to achieve the investment
goals, the Fund gradually shifts its 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.
The Fidelity Asset Manager: Growth Fund tries to maximize your total return
over the long term by allocating its assets 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 changes. The neutral mix for this fund is 65% stocks, 30% bonds and
5% short-term investments.
Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation Common Stock participants were allowed to
invest in COGC common stock effective the second quarter of 1994. Dividends paid
on COGC commons 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.

<PAGE>
1. Description of Plan, continued:
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 70.5.
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
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 employer 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.
F-9
<PAGE>
1. Description of Plan, continued
Withdrawals During Employment, continued
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 59.5 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 59.5. 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 1995 Plan year, it was 1% above the prime rate charged by COGC's principal
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.

<PAGE>
1. Description of Plan, continued:
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 presents
the net appreciation in the fair market value of investments which consists of
realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those
investments.
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 1995.
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.
F-11
<PAGE>
4. 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, be 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 being 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.
