Item 5. Other Information

 
                  UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
                             FINANCIAL INFORMATION


The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information reflects
the following:

 .   The acquisition of the Unocal Properties by Nuevo during April 1996 was for
  a net adjusted purchase price of $503.1 million in cash (including $22.5
  million of acquisition costs) plus a contingent payment pursuant to a purchase
  agreement dated February 16, 1996.  The Unocal Properties are located in
  central, coastal and offshore California.  The cash purchase price was
  financed through proceeds, net of offering costs, of $136.8 million and $155.6
  million related to Nuevo's issuances of common stock and 9.5% senior
  subordinated notes (the Notes) during April 1996, respectively, the incurrence
  of $199.1 million of bank debt, the issuance of 150,000 common stock warrants
  with a fair value of $1.6 million and a $10.0 million non-interest-bearing
  payable to Torch Energy Advisors Incorporated (Torch).  The contingent payment
  is not included in the cash purchase price.

 .   The contingent payment requires a cash payment to the seller in the years
  1998 through 2004 if crude oil prices exceed certain escalating threshold
  prices.  Although the contingent payment is not effective until 1998, if it
  had been in effect as of January 1, 1995, the impact on the unaudited pro
  forma condensed consolidated financial information would have been a reduction
  in income of $500,000 ($300,000 net of tax) and $10.8 million ($6.4 million
  net of tax) during the year ended December 31, 1995 and the nine-month period
  ended September 30, 1996, respectively.

 .   The acquisition of the Point Pedernales Properties from Torch was for a net
  adjusted price of $35.7 million in common stock pursuant to a letter agreement
  dated February 16, 1996, less a receivable of $1.3 million for a revenue
  earnout on oil production which was acquired from Unocal and Torch in
  conjunction with the acquisitions of the Unocal and Point Pedernales
  Properties.  The purchase price represents Torch's net book value of the
  properties; the Point Pedernales Properties are primarily located offshore
  California.

 .   The acquisition of the East Texas Properties during July 1996 was from a
  major independent oil company.  The net adjusted purchase price was $9.3
  million and was financed through the incurrence of bank debt.

These acquisitions are presented using the purchase method of accounting.

Nuevo, along with a third party, acquired all of the capital stock of Amoco
Congo Petroleum Company and Amoco Congo Exploration Company (collectively, the
Congo Companies) on February 24, 1995.  Through an interpurchaser agreement,
Nuevo and the third party have agreed to share the combined net operating
revenues and expenses of the Congo Companies evenly.  The results of operations
related to Nuevo's share of the Congo Companies is reflected in the unaudited
pro forma statement of operations for the period January 1, 1995 through 
January 31, 1995. Nuevo's share of the results of operations of the Congo
Companies for the period February 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995 and the 
nine-month period ended September 30, 1996 is reflected in the respective
historical statements of operations.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31,
1995 gives effect to the acquisition of the Unocal Properties, the Point
Pedernales Properties and the East Texas Properties as if such events had
occurred on December 31, 1995.  The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the nine-
month period ended September 30, 1996 give effect to the acquisition of the
Unocal Properties, the Point Pedernales Properties, the East Texas Properties
and the Congo Companies by Nuevo as if such events had occurred at January 1,
1995.  Appropriate interim financial amounts have been added to and subtracted
from the audited revenues and direct operating expenses of the Unocal Properties
and the Point Pedernales Properties to reflect the historical revenues and
direct operating expenses of the properties for the year ended 
December 31, 1995.

The following unaudited pro forma information has been included by the rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and is provided for comparative purposes
only.  The unaudited pro forma information presented is based upon the
historical consolidated financial statements of Nuevo, the historical revenues
and direct operating expenses of the Unocal Properties and the Point Pedernales
Properties, and it should be read in conjunction with such financial statements
and the related notes thereto.  The unaudited pro forma information related to
the East Texas Properties and the Congo Companies is based upon unaudited
historical financial information.

The pro forma data are based on assumptions and include adjustments as explained
in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements.  The unaudited pro forma data are not necessarily indicative of the
financial results that would have occurred had the transactions been effective
on and as of the dates referred to above and should not be viewed as indicative
of operations in future periods.

      the Torch Agreement, pro forma management fees for the year ended December
      31, 1995 and the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996 were $6.6

      Nuevo also obtained a commitment for a bridge loan facility in
      conjunction with the purchase of the Unocal Properties. However, the
      financing of the acquisition of such properties did not require the use of
      proceeds from the bridge loan facility.  Although Nuevo incurred bridge
      loan financing fees, such fees represent nonrecurring expenses directly
      related to the financing of the Unocal purchase transaction and are
      excluded from the pro forma presentation.  Such costs were expensed in the
      1996 statement of operations and were $1.7 million ($1.0 million, net of
      tax).

      Amortization of deferred debt financing costs for the Notes is
      estimated to be $440,000 and $110,000 during the year ended December 31,
      1995 and the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996 and amortization
      of the deferred debt financing costs for the bank debt is estimated to be
      $549,000 and $138,000 during the respective periods.  The repayment terms
      of the Notes and the bank debt are ten years and five years, respectively.
