Agreement, Kelley issued, sold and delivered to Contour, and Contour
purchased from Kelley, 48,000,000 newly issued shares of Common Stock for a
purchase price of $48 million (the "Initial Purchase").

          Pursuant to the Option Agreement, Kelley granted to Contour an
irrevocable option (the "Option"), exercisable at any time or from time to
time, to purchase at an option price equal to $1.00 per share, subject to
certain antidilution adjustments, up to the number of newly issued shares
of Common Stock equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum number of shares
Contour may purchase without causing the occurrence of a Debt Event (as
defined below) and (ii) the number of shares equal to (A) $27 million less
any amounts previously paid for shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
Option Agreement divided by (B) the then applicable option price of $1.00
per share, as adjusted in accordance with the Option Agreement. Contour
agreed to exercise the Option for the full number of shares of Common Stock
specified in clause (ii) above within 30 days after the date on which
Contour concludes in its sole discretion that a Debt Event could not occur
upon exercise of the Option with respect to such number of shares of Common
Stock. On December 1, 1997, Contour exercised the Option and purchased
27,000,000 shares of Common Stock from Contour at a price of $27 million
(the "Option Purchase") to help Kelley finance the acquisition by Kelley of
substantially all the assets of SCANA Petroleum Resources Inc. A copy of
the Option Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and is incorporated
herein by reference. The description of the Option Agreement set forth
herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the
agreement.

          As a result of the Initial Purchase and the Option Purchase,
Contour and BH beneficially own 58.9% of the total voting power of the
outstanding voting stock of Kelley.

          (a). Pursuant to Section 5(g) of the Stock Purchase Agreement,
Kelley agreed that, in the event that equity securities of Kelley, in
addition to the securities issuable pursuant to the term of the settlement
of the lawsuit titled 7547 Partners v. Kelley Oil et. al., are issued to
former unitholders of Kelley Oil & Gas Partners, Ltd., a Texas limited
partnership ("Kelley Partners"), as a result of any challenges to the
consolidation of Kelley Partners and Kelley Oil Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("Kelley Oil"), effected in 1995, including as a result of the
failure to uphold such settlement, Kelley will, concurrently with any such
issuance to or on behalf of former unitholders, issue to Contour without
additional consideration that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the
sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock necessary, when added to
the number of shares of Common Stock then owned by Contour, to maintain
Contour's percentage ownership of the total outstanding shares of Common
Stock (including any securities issuable pursuant to such settlement) at
the same level, after giving effect to such issuance, and (ii) a number of
shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the fair market value of any
preferred stock, par value $1.50 per share, of Kelley so issued to former
unitholders by the lesser of a purchase price equal to $1 per share of
Common Stock or the average market price of the Common Stock during the
five trading days immediately prior to the issuance of such preferred
stock; provided, however, that (unless Contour and Kelley otherwise agreed)
any Common Stock issuable to Contour pursuant to such section would be
issued only to the extent such issuance would not cause (i) a "Change of
Control" under the Indenture (the "13-1/2% Indenture") relating to the
Kelley's 13-1/2% Senior Notes due June 15, 1999 (the "13-1/2% Notes"), (ii)
a "Change in Control" under the Indenture (the "7-7/8% Indenture") relating
to the 7-7/8% Convertible Subordinated Notes due December 15, 1999 (the
"7-7/8% Notes") of Kelley Partners or (iii) or a "Redemption Event" as
defined in the Indenture (the "8-1/2% Indenture") relating to the 8-1/2%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures due April 1, 2000 (the "8-1/2%
Debentures") of Kelley Partners. Any such event referred to in (i), (ii) or
(iii) of the proviso in the preceding sentence is hereinafter referred to
as a "Debt Event".

          A Debt Event with respect to the 13-1/2% Notes, the 7-7/8% Notes
or the 8-1/2% Debentures would entitle the holders of the affected
securities to require the repurchase or redemption of such holders'
securities. Under the 13-1/2% Indenture as in effect at the date of the
Initial Purchase, a Change of Control would occur if, among other things,
any person were to become the beneficial owner of securities representing
50% or more of the total voting power in Kelley. The 13-1/2% Indenture was
amended in October 1996 to eliminate the "Change of Control" concept. Under
the 7-7/8% Indenture, a Change in Control would occur if, among other
things, any person other than Kelley Oil and its affiliates were to become
the beneficial owner of securities representing 50% or more of the total
voting power in Kelley Oil, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kelley that is the
managing general partner of Kelley Partners, or 50% or more of the equity
interests of Kelley Partners. Under the 8-1/2% Indenture, a Redemption
Event would occur if, among other things, any person were to become the
beneficial owner of securities representing 25% or more of equity interests
in Kelley Partners, unless such event were approved by the board of
directors of Kelley Oil within 20 days after the first public disclosure of
such event.

          After giving effect to the issuance of the Common Stock pursuant
to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Contour beneficially owned approximately
49.8% of the total voting power of the Common Stock. The board of directors
of Kelley Oil approved the Initial Purchase for the purposes of the 8-1/2%
Indenture within the applicable 20 day period.

          A copy of the Stock Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as
Exhibit 1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the
Stock Purchase Agreement set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text thereof.

          The Reporting Persons reserve the right to determine in the
future to formulate plans or proposals which relate to, or would result in,
or to take or cause to be taken any action relating to, or resulting in,
the acquisition of additional securities of Kelley or the disposition of
any securities of Kelley.

          (b) and (c). Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Contour
agreed to refrain from voting any shares of Common Stock it owns to approve
a merger or consolidation of Kelley with, or a sale of all or substantially
all the assets of Kelley to, Contour or any affiliate of Contour (other
than a merger, consolidation or sale that does not increase the percentage
ownership of Contour in the surviving entity) unless (i) so long as Contour
and its affiliates are the controlling stockholder of Kelley, the effective
consideration per share of Common Stock to be received by the other holders
of Common Stock in such transaction complies in all material respects with
any applicable requirements of the law of the State of Delaware regarding
the fairness of transactions between a corporation and a controlling
stockholder and (ii) if such transaction is consummated within three years
of the consummation of the sale and purchase of the shares of Common Stock
as contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, the consideration to be
received in such transaction on an equivalent per share basis has a value
that is not less than $1 per share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
provision of the Stock Purchase Agreement will not apply to any transaction
that is approved by holders (other than Contour and its affiliates) of
Common Stock representing a majority of the Common Stock (other than Common
Stock held by Contour and its affiliates) voted with respect to approval of
such transaction.

          (d). Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, four designees of
Contour initially were appointed to the board of directors of Kelley (the
"Board"). The newly appointed members of the Board were Mr. Bookout, Mr.
Ogden Mills Phipps, Mr. Woods and Mr. Rothfeld. In connection with the
Initial Purchase, the Board elected Mr. Bookout as the Chairman of the
Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Kelley, Dallas D. Laumbach
as the Senior Vice President--Exploration and Production, William C. Rankin
as the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and William E.
Albrecht as the Vice President--Production.

          (e). Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Kelley and certain
subsidiaries entered into a new credit agreement. The new credit agreement
prohibits the payment of dividends in respect of the capital stock of
Kelley.

<PAGE>


          (g). As required by the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Board duly
approved and adopted an amendment to the Amended Certificate of
Incorporation increasing the authorized number of shares of Common Stock
from 100,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares. The amendment was approved
by the stockholders of Kelley by written consent.

          Except as set forth in this Statement or as contemplated by the
Stock Purchase Agreement, the Option Agreement or the Registration Rights
Agreement (which agreement is discussed in Item 6 and attached hereto as
Exhibit 4), none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of the
Reporting Persons, any of the persons named in Item 2 or listed on
Schedules I through IV has any other present plans or proposals which would
result in or relate to (a) the acquisition by any person of additional
securities of Kelley, or the disposition of securities of Kelley; (b) an
extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or
liquidation, involving Kelley or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or
transfer of a material amount of assets of Kelley or of any of its
subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present Board or management of Kelley,
including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors
or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board; (e) any material change in
the present capitalization or dividend policy of Kelley; (f) any other
material change in Kelley's business or corporate structure; (g) changes in
Kelley's charter, by-laws or instruments corresponding thereto or other
actions which may impede the acquisition of control of Kelley by any
person; (h) causing a class of securities of Kelley to be delisted from a
national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in
an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities
association; (i) a class of equity securities of Kelley becoming eligible
for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the
Exchange Act; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
Any of the Reporting Persons may, however, discuss one or more of the
foregoing matters with other stockholders of Kelley or may formulate a plan
or proposal relating to one or more of the foregoing matters. In addition,
in the context of the performance of their duties associated with
membership on the Board, any of the designees of the Reporting Persons on
the Board may discuss one or more of the foregoing matters with the other
directors of Kelley or the members of the management team of Kelley or may
formulate a plan or proposal relating to one or more of the foregoing
matters.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

          (a) and (b). Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Kelley
issued, sold and delivered to Contour, and Contour purchased from Kelley,
48,000,000 newly issued shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to the Option
Agreement, Kelley issued, sold and delivered to Contour, and Contour
purchased from Kelley, 27,000,000 newly issued shares of Common Stock.
Together, the 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock acquired by Contour
represent approximately 59.7% of the approximately 125,603,594 shares of
outstanding Common Stock.

          The 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock issued to Contour represent
approximately 58.9% of the total voting power of the outstanding voting
stock of


                            Page 11 of 21 Pages

<PAGE>


Kelley. The outstanding voting stock of Kelley is comprised of shares of
Common Stock and shares of preferred stock of Kelley, par value $1.50 per
share, which shares are designated $2.625 convertible exchangeable
preferred stock (the "$2.625 Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock").
The holder of each share of Common Stock and $2.625 Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock is entitled to one vote per share on all
matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. The approximation of the
aggregate percentage of the total voting power of the outstanding voting
stock was derived from the 98,603,594 shares of Common Stock and the
1,745,431 shares of $2.625 Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock
reported by Kelley in its most recent Form 10-Q and the 27,000,000 shares
issued as contemplated by the Option Agreement.

          A copy of the Stock Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as
Exhibit 1 and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Option
Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and is incorporated herein by
reference. The description of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Option
Agreement set forth herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to
the full text thereof.

          Subject to the matters described in this Item 5, neither the
Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of
the persons named in Item 2 or listed in Schedules I through IV
beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock other than such 75,000,000
shares.

          As discussed in Item 2, (i) Kylix is the sole general partner of
BH, (ii) Woods 1994 Family Partnership, Lindsay 1994 Family Partnership and
Rothfeld 1994 Family Partnership are the principal members of Kylix and
(iii) each of Woods 1994 Family Partnership, Lindsay 1994 Family
Partnership and Rothfeld 1994 Family Partnership has designated a
corporation to manage the activities of Kylix, the sole stockholder and
president of which is, respectively, Mr. Woods, Mr. Lindsay and Mr.
Rothfeld. Kylix, Woods 1994 Family Partnership, Lindsay 1994 Family
Partnership, Rothfeld 1994 Family Partnership, Mr. Woods, Mr. Lindsay and
Mr. Rothfeld, by virtue of such relationships, may be deemed to share with
BH the power to vote or direct the vote and to dispose of or to direct the
disposition of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by BH,
although each such person disclaims any beneficial ownership of such
shares. In addition, as discussed in Item 2, BSC is the primary limited
partner of BH. BSC disclaims any beneficial ownership of the shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by BH.

          Under the constitutive documents of Contour, a majority of the
membership interests in Contour must approve any action to be taken by
Contour, except that so long as (i) JFB, Bevairohn, Mr. Bookout or any
other affiliate of Mr. Bookout holds any membership interests in Contour,
(ii) Mr. Bookout is not subject to any disability (as defined in Mr.
Bookout's employment agreement with Kelley) and (iii) Mr. Bookout's
employment with Kelley is not terminated for cause (as defined in Mr.
Bookout's employment agreement with Kelley), the approval of BH and
Bevairohn (as holders of a majority of the separate classes of membership
interests in Contour) is required for Contour to (A) vote any shares of
Common Stock against the


                            Page 12 of 21 Pages

<PAGE>


election of Mr. Bookout as a director of Kelley or (B) take any action as a
stockholder of Kelley that would result in Mr. Bookout not being elected
as, or being removed as, a director of Kelley. Bevairohn, by virtue of
these matters, may be deemed to share with BH the power to direct the vote
of the Common Stock beneficially owned by Contour. By virtue of their
interests in the control over Bevairohn, Mr. Bookout, his wife and Mr.
Bookout III may be deemed to have the power to direct the vote of the
Common Stock beneficially owned by Bevairohn, although each such person
disclaims any beneficial ownership of such Common Stock.

          (c). Neither the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of the
Reporting Persons, any of the persons named in Item 2 or listed on
Schedules I through IV has effected any transactions in the shares of
Common Stock during the past 60 days.

          (d). JFB owns approximately 3.8% of Contour. In addition, under
the agreements relating to the formation of Contour, Bevairohn will have
the right to receive, subject to certain financial and other conditions, up
to 10% of any profit that Contour may realize from any sale by Contour of
Common Stock.

Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with 
          Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

          The shares of Common Stock that are the subject of this Statement
were acquired by the Reporting Persons pursuant to the Stock Purchase
Agreement and the Option Agreement. Under the Stock Purchase Agreement,
Kelley has issued, sold and delivered to Contour, and Contour has purchased
from Kelley, 48,000,000 newly issued shares of Common Stock for an
aggregate purchase price of $48 million. Pursuant to the Option Agreement,
Kelley issued, sold and delivered to Contour, and Contour purchased from
Kelley, 27,000,000 newly issued shares of Common Stock for an aggregate
purchase price of $27 million.

          In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Stock
Purchase Agreement, Kelley and Contour entered into a registration rights
agreement, dated as of February 15, 1996 (the "Registration Rights
Agreement"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4, which grants
certain registration rights to Contour and its permitted assignees with
respect to the shares acquired by Contour in the Initial Purchase and the
Option Purchase.

          In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Stock
Purchase Agreement, Kelley paid Bessemer Partners & Co., a New York general
partnership ("BP&Co.") and an affiliate of BH, certain fees and expenses
related to advisory services provided to Kelley by BP&Co., including a
financial advisory fee of $2 million in respect of financial advisory
services related to the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase
Agreement. BP&Co. will also receive, in annual installments of $500,000, a
financial advisory fee in respect of ongoing financial advisory services
provided during each of 1996, 1997 and 1998. In addition, Kelley has agreed
to reimburse BP&Co. for certain out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred


                            Page 13 of 21 Pages

<PAGE>


by BP&Co. or Contour. Kelley has also agreed, subject to certain
limitations, to indemnify BP&Co., its partners and affiliates, and the
respective directors, officers, agents and employees of BP&Co., its
partners and affiliates, from and against liabilities incurred in
connection with the rendering of financial advisory services to Kelley,
including liabilities under the Federal securities laws.

          Except as described in Item 4, Item 5 and this Item 6, the
documents described in Item 4, Item 5, this Item 6 and elsewhere in this
Statement, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there exist no
contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or
otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 or listed on Schedules I
through IV and between such persons and any person with respect to any
securities of Kelley, including but not limited to transfer or voting of
any of the shares of Common Stock, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or
option arrangements, put or calls, guarantees of profits, division of
profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
