ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
Nuevo Energy Company announced that it entered into a contract to sell its
California crude oil to Tosco Corporation for 15 years at prices tied to NYMEX
crude oil in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 (see Item 7). Based on
hedge transactions completed in 1999, Nuevo hedged 33,000 bpd of its total 2000
production based on a fixed "NYMEX" price. As a result primarily of the Tosco
contract, which fixes the price of Nuevo's California production at
approximately 72% of the NYMEX price, the hedge transactions that the Company
entered into in 1999 have the effect on a price basis of hedging substantially
all of the Company's current production for the year 2000.
