   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


   To the Board of Directors of Amoco Corporation

   In our opinion, the accompanying statement of financial position and  the
   related statement of income, expenses, and changes in plan equity present
   fairly, in  all material respects,  the financial position  of the  Amoco
   Employee Savings Plan at December 31, 1993 and December 31, 1992, and the
   results of its operations and the changes in its plan equity for the year
   ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
   principles.   These financial statements are  the responsibility of Amoco
   Corporation's management; our responsibility is  to express an opinion on
   these financial statements  based on our audits.  We conducted our audits
   of  these  statements  in  accordance  with generally  accepted  auditing
   standards  which 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, assessing  the  accounting  principles used  and  significant
   estimates  made  by  management,  and  evaluating the  overall  financial
   statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a  reasonable
   basis for the opinion expressed above. 

   Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
   basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The fund information in the
   statement of financial position and statement of income, expenses, and
   changes in plan equity is presented for purposes of additional analysis
   rather than to present the financial position and the income, expenses and
   changes in plan equity of each fund.  The fund information has been 
   subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
   financial statements, and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
   respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


   1.    Description of the Plan: 

        Amoco  Corporation established  the Employee  Savings Plan  of Amoco
   Corporation  and Participating  Companies (the "Savings  Plan") effective
   July 1, 1955.   The Savings  Plan was amended from  time to time  and was
   amended in  its entirety  and restated  effective October 1,  1991.   The
   Savings Plan  is  now  known as  the  Amoco  Employee Savings  Plan  (the
   "Plan").   The  Plan includes  all approved  companies of  the controlled
   group of  corporations included  in the  consolidated Federal income  tax
   return of Amoco Corporation (the  "Company").  The purpose of the Plan is
   to encourage employees in the regular savings of a part of their earnings
   and  to  assist  them  in  accumulating  additional  security  for  their
   retirement.     The  Plan   provides  that  both  employee   and  Company
   contributions will be held  in a trust by an independent trustee  for the
   benefit of participating employees.  State Street Bank and Trust  Company
   ("State Street Bank") is the Trustee of the Plan and replaced the Company
   as Plan Administrator,  effective October 1, 1991.  The  Company reserves
   the right to make any changes to or terminate the Plan.

        Under  the Plan,  participating employees  may  contribute  up to  a
   certain percentage of  their qualified pay on a pre-tax  and/or after-tax
   basis.  A specified portion  of the employee contribution up to a maximum
   6 percent, is matched by the Company, in the form of contributions to the
   Amoco Stock Fund.

        There were 32,250 participants of the various companies in the  Plan
   at  December  31,   1993,  of   which  30,422  were  current   employees.
   Participants are fully vested in their contributed accounts.  Vesting  in
   Company  contributed  accounts is  dependent  upon  specific  criteria as
   described in the Plan document.  Forfeited Company contributions are used
   to  decrease the Company contributions and pay administrative expenses of
   the Plan. 

        All reasonable  and necessary Plan administrative  expenses are paid
   out  of  the Plan  trust or  paid by  the Company.   Generally,  fees and
   expenses related to  investment management of  each fund are paid  out of
   the respective funds.  As  a result, the returns on those investments are
   net of the fees and  expenses of the managers of those funds  and certain
   other brokerage  commissions  and other  fees and  expenses  incurred  in
   connection   with  those  investment  elections.      Fees  and  expenses
   associated  with U.S. Savings Bonds are paid as costs and expenses of the
   Plan.

        Effective February 1, 1993,  the Plan was amended  to add three  new
   investment  options:   the Balanced  Fund, the  Bond Index Fund,  and the
   Equity

   Index  Fund.   The  contributions  made  by  participating  companies are
   invested  by  the Trustee  in  the  Amoco  Stock Fund.    Apart from  the
   participating  Company  contributions, each  participating  employee  may
   direct  that any or all  cash consisting of  his contributions and income
   credited to his accounts shall  be invested or held by the Trustee in one
   or more of the following elections:  Amoco Stock Fund, Money Market Fund,
   U.S. Savings Bonds, Balanced Fund, Bond Index Fund, or Equity Index Fund.

   Amoco Stock Fund

        Most Amoco  Stock  Fund money  is used  by the  Trustee to  purchase
   shares of Company common  stock.  The balance is held as cash  or is used
   to  purchase short-term  investments and  other public and  private debt,
   equity,  and  derivative  securities   (including  options  and   futures
   contracts).    The  Trustee, as  directed  by  the  fund  manager,  makes
   purchases  and sales  of  securities  on the  open market,  in  privately
   negotiated transactions or otherwise.

        The  percentage of  assets of  the Amoco  Stock Fund  in investments
   other than  Company common stock  under normal circumstances  is about  5
   percent.   However, this figure may  change as transactions  are made and
   may be substantially higher or lower at a given time.  The  percentage of
   assets of the Amoco Stock  Fund in investments other than Company  common
   stock, primarily consisting of cash equivalents, at year-end December 31,
   1993, was 5 percent.  

        Shares of  common stock  held in the  fund and  dividends and  other
   distributions  on   common  stock  are  not   specifically  allocated  to
   participant  accounts.   Instead,  each participant's  investment  in the
   Amoco Stock Fund is based on the proportion of his investment in the fund
   to all Plan participants.  Participants' balances in the Amoco Stock Fund
   are denominated in "units."   The value of a unit upon  the establishment
   of the Amoco Stock  Fund at October 1,  1991 was $10.00.  The  value of a
   unit  fluctuates  in  response  to  various  factors  including,  without
   limitation, the price of and dividends paid on common stock, earnings and
   losses on other investments in the fund and the mix of assets in the fund
   among  Amoco common stock and  other investments.   At December 31, 1993,
   there were 169,047,312 units in the  fund at a unit value of $11.22.  The
   manager of the Amoco Stock Fund is State Street Bank.

   Cyprus Stock Fund

        Almost all of the Cyprus Stock Fund is comprised of shares of Cyprus
   AMAX Minerals Company ("Cyprus") common stock.  For liquidity purposes, a
   portion of the fund is kept as cash or  placed in short-term investments.
   Shares  of  Cyprus  common  stock and  other  Cyprus  securities are  not
   allocated  to  participants' accounts;  instead,  their  balances  in the
   Cyprus Stock Fund

   are denominated in  units.  The value of a unit upon establishment of the
   Cyprus Stock  Fund at  October 1, 1991  was $5.00.   The value  of a unit
   fluctuates in response to  various factors including, without limitation,
   the price of and dividends paid on Cyprus securities, earnings and losses
   on other investments in the  fund and the mix of assets  in the fund.  At
   December 31, 1993, there were 2,315,002 units in the fund at a unit value
   of $6.54.  The  manager of the  Cyprus Stock Fund  is State Street  Bank.
   Current contributions cannot be allocated to this fund.  Participants may
   elect, however, to liquidate their investment in the Cyprus Stock Fund.

   Money Market Fund

        Amounts invested in  the Money Market Fund are in  the Institutional
   Cash Management Fund  for Directed Accounts (the  "Cash Management Fund")
   established in 1984, under the First National Bank of Chicago Group Trust
   for  Pensions and Profit Sharing Trusts.  The exclusive investment of the
   Cash  Management   Fund  is  in  the  Brinson  Trust  Company  Collective
   Investment  Trust for  Pension and  Profit  Sharing Trusts  (the "Brinson
   Collective  Trust").   The types  of investments  the  Brinson Collective
   Trust may invest in include U.S. Treasury obligations,  commercial paper,
   bank  deposits,  certificates  of  deposit,  bonds, debentures,  publicly
   available money  market funds, loan participation  and other obligations;
   provided that  no  more than  20 percent  of  the value  of  the  Brinson
   Collective Trust  may be  invested  in longer-term  investments.   As  of
   December 31, 1993,  the fund was invested primarily in  cash equivalents.
   The manager  of  the  Money Market  Fund  is Brinson  Partners,  Inc.  of
   Chicago.  The fund manager is responsible for the selection of securities
   to be purchased for the Money Market Fund.

   U.S. Savings Bonds

        Participant contributions in U.S. Savings  Bonds are invested by the
   Trustee  in  the  most recent  offering  issued  by  the  U.S.  Treasury.
   Contributions are held in participants' accounts until they are  invested
   in U.S. Savings Bonds.

   Balanced Fund

        The Balanced  Fund is a  diversified fund which  offers investors  a
   mixture of stocks and  bonds.  The fund is balanced by an exposure to the
   equity markets of approximately 60  percent and an exposure to  the fixed
   income markets  of  approximately  40  percent.    The  equity  component
   includes  exposure  to  both the  domestic  and  foreign  markets.    For
   additional liquidity, a portion of the Balanced Fund is invested in State
   Street's  Short  Term  Investment  Fund  composed of  various  short-term
   financial instruments.  State  Street Global Advisors Inc.,  a subsidiary
   of State Street Bank, is the investment manager of the Balanced Fund.

   Bond Index Fund

        The  Bond  Index  Fund  is  invested  primarily in  Bankers  Trust's
   commingled BT  Pyramid Broad Market  Fixed Income Index  Fund ("BT  Broad
   Market Fund").  The BT Broad Market Fund  is part of the BT Pyramid Trust
   of Bankers Trust Company, of  which Bankers Trust Company is the trustee.
   A small  portion of the Bond Index Fund is held in money market and other
   short-term instruments and U.S.  Treasury futures contracts for liquidity
   purposes.  The investment manager of the Bond Index Fund is Bankers Trust
   Company.

   Equity Index Fund

        The Equity Index Fund is invested primarily in the BT Pyramid Equity
   Index Fund.  The  BT Pyramid Equity Index Fund is  part of the BT Pyramid
   Trust of Bankers Trust Company.  A small portion of the Equity Index Fund
   is invested in short-term investments and derivative instruments, such as
   S&P's  500 futures contracts,  for liquidity purposes.   The Equity Index
   Fund is managed by Bankers Trust Company.

        During 1993,  participants in the  Plan were limited  in the  amount
   they could transfer per month from the existing investment options to the
   new investment  options for  a six-month  period, February  through  July
   1993,  to   insure  overall  liquidity  and  the   prompt  processing  of
   transactions.    During  the  transition period  to  the  new  investment
   options,  the maximum amount  a Plan participant could  transfer once per
   month  from the  existing investment  options (Amoco  Stock  Fund, Cyprus
   Stock  Fund,  Money Market  Fund,  and  U.S. Savings  Bonds)  to  the new
   investment options  (Balanced  Fund, Bond  Index Fund,  and Equity  Index
   Fund) was the greater  of 10 percent of existing investment options  of a
   participant's accounts  or up  to  $5,000  in total  existing  investment
   options  of a participant's  accounts.   There was no restriction  on the
   amount  of  funds which  could be  transferred among  existing investment
   options, among the new investment options or from new investment  options
   to the existing investment options.

   2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

        Common  stock of the Company and of Cyprus are valued at the closing
   market  price on  the New  York Stock  Exchange.   Common stock  of other
   companies  included in the Amoco Stock Fund  and common stock of equities
   in other  funds are also  valued at market  prices.  Series  "E" and "EE"
   Bonds are  valued at  the  current redemption  value prescribed  by  U.S.
   Treasury Department regulations.  Interests in the Money Market Fund  are
   valued  at cost,  which approximates  market value.   Realized  gains and
   losses are  recognized upon the disposition  of investments by  comparing
   the proceeds, or market value, to the average cost (see Note 5).

   4.   Participant Loans:

        Participants are eligible to borrow  from their account balances  in
   the Plan.  Loans are made  in the form  of cash  and the  amount may  not
   exceed the lesser  of 50 percent of the market value  of the total vested
   accounts or $50,000 less the highest loan balance outstanding during  the
   preceding twelve months.  The participant must execute a promissory  note
   to take out  a loan.   Interest rates are fixed  for the duration  of the
   loan and charged on the unpaid balance.  The interest rate charged is the
   prime rate as reported by the Wall Street Journal on the next to the last
   business day of the month preceding the month the participant applies for
   the loan.  Repayment of  loan principal and interest is generally made by
   payroll deductions and credited to the participant's accounts.

   5.   Sales, Redemptions, and Distributions of Securities:

        The  aggregate  of  income  realized  from sales,  redemptions,  and
   distributions  of securities in participants' accounts for the year ended
   December 31, 1993, was as follows:
                                                   Average      Gains(Losses)
   Securities                     Proceeds          Cost          Realized   
                                             (thousands of dollars)

   Amoco Stock Fund             $  1,083,511    $  1,026,091    $     57,420
   Cyprus Stock Fund                   6,029           6,093             (64)
   U.S. Savings Bonds                  7,110           7,962            (852)
   Balanced Fund                      45,055          43,731           1,324
   Bond Index Fund                     6,758           6,598             160
   Equity Index Fund                   5,764           5,534             230
     Total                      $  1,154,227    $  1,096,009    $     58,218

        Average cost is calculated as the weighted average of the fair value
   of the disposed securities  at the beginning  of the year or  acquisition
   cost if acquired during the year.

   6.   Taxes:

        The Company believes that the Plan qualifies under section 401(a) of
   the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as  amended (the "Code") and that  the
   related Trust is exempt from Federal income taxes under section 501(a) of
   the Code.   The Company intends during 1994 to request  a ruling from the
   Internal Revenue  Service that the Plan  and Trust, as amended  as of the
   date of such request,  qualify under  sections 401(a) and  501(a) of  the
   Code, respectively.  The Company reserves the right to make any amendment
   necessary to maintain the qualification of the Plan and Trust.  

                                      13.<PAGE>

<PAGE>
                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)


        Under  present  Federal  income  tax laws,  it  is  expected that  a
   participant will not be subject to income taxes on amounts contributed by
   the Company or on income accrued to the participant account until part or
   all of the participant  account is withdrawn or  distributed.  Gains  and
   losses  on the sale  of securities  within a participant account  are not
   reportable for income tax purposes unless withdrawn.

   7.   Unrealized Appreciation on Investments:

        Unrealized appreciation on  investments held, expressed in thousands
   of  dollars,  amounted to  $83,898  during 1993.    This amount  has been
   reflected in  the statement  of  income, expenses,  and changes  in  plan
   equity for the period.  Such amounts were computed in a manner similar to
   that  discussed in  Note  5  for computing  realized income  from  sales,
   redemptions and distributions to securities.

   8.   Withdrawals and Forfeitures:

        Distributions  to participants  are reported at market  value at the
   date of distribution.  For the year ended December  31, 1993, the balance
   of participants'  accounts withdrawn, expressed in  thousands of dollars,
   totaled $217,117.   Disbursements in cash or securities in  settlement of
   such accounts amounted  to $216,829.  The difference of  $288 represented
   the total amount of  participating company distributions forfeited during
   that period.
