   INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

   Item 5.  Other Events


        Amoco  Corporation ("Amoco")  disclosed  that the  basis  upon which

   operations are grouped  for the purpose of business segment  reporting to

   the external financial  community has been changed to align  with Amoco's

   organizational structure.  Amoco restructured  operations in 1994 into 17

   business groups  divided into three sectors -  Exploration and Production

   ("E&P"),  Petroleum  Products and  Chemicals.    The  changes  in segment

   reporting will  enable Amoco to move  to a common definition  of segments

   and sectors.   The E&P segment  is engaged in exploring  for, developing,

   and producing crude oil and  natural gas; and extraction,  transportation

   and marketing  of natural  gas and  natural gas  liquids.  The  Petroleum

   Products  segment  is  responsible  for  petroleum  refining  operations,

   marketing  of refined petroleum products, transportation of crude oil and

   petroleum products and  associated supply  and trading  activities.   The

   Chemical   segment  manufactures   and  sells   petroleum-based  chemical

   products.    Corporate and  Other  Operations  include  net  interest and

   general  corporate   expenses  as  well  as   investments  in  technology

   companies, real estate interests and other activities.

          Shown below are restated segment earnings for the years 1994, 1993

   and 1992.  Also disclosed are restated quarterly data for 1994 and 1993.
