   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


   To the Board of Directors of Amoco Corporation

   In our  opinion, the accompanying  statement of  financial position (with
   fund information)  and the  related statement  of  income, expenses,  and
   changes in  plan equity (with  fund information) present  fairly, in  all
   material respects,  the financial position of the  Amoco Employee Savings
   Plan at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its operations and
   the changes in  its plan equity for the year  ended December 31, 1994, 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 (with fund information) and statement of
   income, expenses, and  changes in plan equity (with fund  information) 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 (the "Company")  established the Employee  Savings
   Plan  of  Amoco Corporation  and  Participating  Companies  (the "Savings
   Plan") effective July 1, 1955.  The Savings Plan was amended and restated
   effective November 29, 1994.   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 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 and Plan Administrator of the Plan.
   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 31,036 participants of the various companies in the  Plan
   at  December   31,  1994,  of  which   29,189  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.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

        The contributions  made by  participating companies are  invested by
   the Trustee  in the  Amoco Stock Fund.   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  can be
   used  to purchase  short-term investments  and  other public  and private
   debt, equity,  and derivative  securities (including options  and futures
   contracts).    There  were   no  investments  in   derivative  securities
   during the year ended December 31, 1994.   The Trustee,  as  directed  by
   the fund manager, makes purchases and sales  of  securities  on the  open
   market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.   From time to
   time the Plan also  borrows  funds as necessary, through  available lines
   of credit totaling $200 million, from one or  more financial institutions
   on a  short-term basis at market rates to provide sufficient liquidity to
   the Amoco Stock   Fund.  The assets  of  the Amoco Stock Fund are used as
   security  for such loans.  There  were  no  borrowings on  these lines of
   credit for  the  year ended December 31, 1994.

        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,
   1994, was 7 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 or her 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, 1994,  there were 150,253,624  units in the fund  at a unit
   value  of $12.92.  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, 1994, there were 1,900,018 units in
   the fund at a unit value of $6.84.  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.   This fund will cease to be an investment option
   effective July 1, 1996.

   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, 1994,  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

   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.   A small portion of the Balanced Fund is held in
   derivative instruments  to  manage  its currency  and  market  exposures.

   the investment manager of the Balanced Fund.  At  December 31, 1994 there
   were 12,463,336 units in the fund at a unit value of $7.72.

   Market Fund").  The BT Broad Market Fund is part of the  BT Pyramid Trust

   Fund is  managed by Bankers Trust  Company.  At  December 31,  1994 there
   were 8,010,988 units in the fund at a unit value of $16.38.

   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 in other funds
   is 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, 1994, was as follows:

        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  received in  March  1995, a  ruling from  the  Internal
   Revenue Service that the Plan, as restated and amended November 29, 1994,
   qualifies under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Company
   reserves  the right  to  make  any amendment  necessary to  maintain  the
   qualification of the Plan and Trust.

<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 $160,539  during  1994.   This amount  has been
   reflected in  the statement  of  income, expenses,  and changes  in  plan
   equity  (with  fund  information)  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, 1994, the balance
   of participants'  accounts withdrawn, expressed in  thousands of dollars,
   totaled $293,219.   Disbursements in cash or securities in  settlement of
   such accounts amounted  to $292,838.  The difference of  $381 represented
   the total amount of  participating Company contributions forfeited during
   that period.
