                  REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Advisory Committee of the
Snyder Oil Corporation Profit Sharing and Savings Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available
for plan benefits with fund information of Snyder Oil Corporation
Profit Sharing and Savings Plan ("the Plan") as of December 31, 1994
and 1993, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits with fund information for the years ended
December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992.  These financial statements and the
schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the Plan's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedules 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 its net assets available for plan benefits for the years
ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, 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
schedule of assets held for investment purposes (Schedule I) and
supplemental schedule of reportable transactions (Schedule II) are
presented for purposes 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
statements of net assets available for plan benefits with fund
information and the statements of changes in net assets available for
plan benefits with fund information 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 audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

               SNYDER OIL CORPORATION PROFIT SHARING AND SAVINGS PLAN

                           NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                         DECEMBER 31, 1994, 1993, AND 1992



(1)  DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN:

The following description of the Snyder Oil Corporation Profit
Sharing and Savings Plan (the "Plan") provides only general
information.  Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a
more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

On March 23, 1990, the parent of Snyder Oil Company, SOCO Holdings,
Inc., was involved in a consolidation transaction with Snyder Oil
Partners, L.P., a master limited partnership of which Snyder Oil
Company was general partner.  The resultant combined entity is now
known as Snyder Oil Corporation.  Prior to this consolidation, this
Plan was known as the Snyder Oil Company Profit Sharing and Savings
Plan.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution profit sharing and 401(k) savings
plan adopted on January 1, 1983, for the benefit of eligible
employees of Snyder Oil Corporation (the "Employer") who may elect to
participate in the Plan.  The Plan is administered by the Plan
administrator, an employee who is appointed by the Plan's advisory
committee.  Employees become eligible to participate in the Plan on
an entry date at least four months following the later of the date
the employee first performs an hour of service or attains age 18. 
The entry dates for the Plan are January 1 and July 1.  The Plan is
subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 (ERISA).

On October 4, 1993, all Plan assets were transferred to Wells Fargo
Institutional Trust Company who became the trustee of the Plan. 
Prior to this date, NationsBank Trust served as the trustee of the
Plan.

The Plan allows participants various investment options in which to
invest their individual and Employer contribution accounts. 
Investment income is allocated to participants based upon the ratio
of their participant account balance to the total participants'
accounts in a manner defined by the Plan agreement.

<PAGE>                                          7<PAGE>
Forfeitures

The nonvested amounts in a participant's Employer contribution
account are forfeited to the Plan upon termination.  Such forfeitures
are allocated to the remaining participants based upon annual
compensation in a manner defined by the Plan agreement.

Participant Contributions

Subject to certain maximum limitations imposed by the Internal
Revenue Code, a participant may elect to contribute to the Plan up to
15% of his or her annual pretax compensation.  A participant may
change the applicable percentage or completely suspend his or her
contributions in accordance with Plan policies.  The Plan also allows
employees to "rollover" contributions that have been made to another
qualified plan.

Employer Contributions

Employer contributions to the Plan are entirely discretionary and
determined on an annual basis by the Board of Directors.  Employer
contributions are allocated to participants based upon annual
compensation in a manner defined by the Plan agreement.

Vesting

Participants are fully vested at all times in their individual
contribution accounts.  Vesting in employer contribution accounts is
based on years of service.  A participant is 40% vested after two
years, 80% after three years and 100% after four or more years of
service.  In addition, participants also become fully vested in their
Employer contribution accounts upon retirement, at or after age 55,
death or total disability of the participant.

Distributions

Distribution of the participant's entire account becomes due upon
retirement, at or after age 55, or upon death or total disability. 
Such account balances may be distributed either in a lump-sum
distribution or in installments, as described in the Plan agreement. 
Participants are entitled to receive the balance of their individual
contribution account plus their vested interest in their Employer
contribution account upon termination of employment.  Participants
may make hardship withdrawals from their individual contribution
account at specified times during a Plan year, subject to certain
restrictions.  Participants may also receive loans from the Plan
secured by the participant's account for up to 50% of their vested
balance.  Each loan is evidenced by a note providing for repayment
over a maximum of five or ten years depending on the purpose of the
loan as defined by the Plan agreement and providing for interest at
a reasonable rate.

<PAGE>                                          8<PAGE>
Federal Income Taxes

The Plan received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue
Service dated May 9, 1995, confirming that the Plan, as amended on
October 28, 1993, is exempt from federal income taxes under Sections
401(a) and 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Plan Termination

Although it has expressed no intention to do so, the Employer may
suspend or discontinue contributions under the Plan and has reserved
the right to terminate the Plan subject to provisions of ERISA.  In
the event of full or partial termination of the Plan, participants
will become fully vested in their individual and Employer
contribution accounts and will be entitled to distributions of their
entire accounts according to the Plan document and ERISA.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

General

The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual
basis of accounting.  Certain amounts in the 1993 and 1992 financial
statements have been reclassified to conform with the 1994
presentation.

Investments

The Plan's investments are held by bank-administered trust funds and
are recorded at fair market value as determined by market quotations. 
Total cost of investments held by the Plan at December 31, 1994 and
1993 was $10,147,447 and $8,239,927, respectively.

Individual investments with a fair value greater than 5% of total net
assets available for Plan benefits consisted of the following fair
values:

</TABLE>

The Asset Allocation Fund invests in a changing mix of stocks, bonds
and money market securities.  At December 31, 1994, the mix was 60%
in bonds and 40% in equity securities.  From the financial
information available, it is impossible to determine the net realized
and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in each type of investment
(i.e., stocks).

In accordance with Department of Labor regulations, realized gains
(losses) on plan assets sold during the year are calculated as the
excess of sales price over the fair value of the assets at the
beginning of the plan year in which the asset is sold.

Cost of Administration

The Employer has paid for the majority of the expenses related to the
administration of the Plan, but is not obligated to do so.  The
employer will not require reimbursement for these expenses.  Any such
expenses not paid by the Employer shall be paid from the Plan assets.

Distributions to be Paid

As discussed in Note 1, participants are entitled to receive the
balance of their individual contribution account plus their vested
interest in their Employer contribution account upon termination of
employment.  However, if their total vested balance exceeds $3,500 as
defined in the Plan agreement, they may elect to continue to invest
it through the Plan.  Distributions that terminated employees are
entitled to by fund at December 31, 1994 and 1993 are as follows:
