PART I
Item 1. Business.
(a) General
Mobil Corporation (Mobil) was incorporated in March, 1976 in the state of
Delaware. Mobil's principal business, which is conducted primarily through
wholly-owned subsidiaries, is in the petroleum industry. Mobil is also a
manufacturer and marketer of petrochemicals, packaging films and specialty
chemical products. Through its subsidiaries, Mobil had business interests in
over 125 countries and employed approximately 50,400 people worldwide at
December 31, 1995.
Through its subsidiaries, Mobil operates a worldwide oil and gas exploration
and producing business, a global marketing and refining complex, a network of
pipelines and tankers linking these worldwide oil and gas businesses, a world-
scale chemical business and a highly sophisticated research and engineering
operation.
A list of Mobil's most significant subsidiaries is contained on pages 27
through 29 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Summarized financial data for
Mobil Oil Corporation is included on page 21 of this Annual Report on Form 10-
K. In this Report, except as otherwise indicated by the context, the term
"Mobil" refers to the parent corporation and all of its subsidiaries and
affiliates and their operating divisions collectively, and sometimes to one or
more of them.
Mobil makes no representations as to the future trend of its business and
earnings, or as to future events and developments that could affect the oil
industry in particular and that may affect other businesses in which Mobil is
directly or indirectly engaged. These include such matters as the divestiture
of certain operations, environmental quality control standards, oil imports,
new discoveries of hydrocarbons and the demand for petroleum products.
Furthermore, Mobil's business could be affected by future price changes or
controls, material and labor costs, legislation, taxes, labor conditions,
transportation regulations, tariffs, litigation, embargoes, foreign currency
exchange restrictions and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Mobil
has direct and indirect investments and interests in many enterprises worldwide
and makes no representation as to future developments which may have a profound
effect on its business enterprises throughout the world. Mobil also recognizes
that such enterprises are subject to political uncertainties in many of the
countries in which it operates. Countries outside of the U.S. which currently
are, and are expected to continue to be, significant contributors to Mobil's
operating earnings are Australia, Indonesia, Japan, Nigeria, Norway, Saudi
Arabia, Singapore and the United Kingdom (U.K.).

PETROLEUM OPERATIONS
Mobil is one of the largest oil companies in the world, with petroleum
product sales of 3.2 million barrels a day. In 1995 Mobil produced the oil
equivalent of 1.6 million barrels daily of crude oil, natural gas liquids and
natural gas and had refinery runs of 2.1 million barrels per day. Petroleum
net sales in 1995 were $58,121 million, up 12% from 1993 and about 9% from
1994.

Prices for crude oil have experienced dramatic fluctuations during the past
several years, making it difficult to forecast future trends in prices or
margins in Petroleum Operations. During 1995 the worldwide average price of
crude oil increased nearly $1.50 per barrel primarily reflecting higher demand
in the Asia-Pacific region and supply disruptions caused by hurricanes in the
Gulf of Mexico.
Mobil's Petroleum Operations are divided into two primary business
activities -- Upstream, which refers to exploration and producing; and
Downstream, which refers to marketing, refining, supply and transportation.

PETROLEUM OPERATIONS -- UPSTREAM
Exploration and Producing
Significant developments in 1995 in Mobil's exploration and producing
operations included the following:
Worldwide
In 1995, Mobil conducted exploration and producing activities in 35
countries. Net production of liquids (crude oil and natural gas liquids)
averaged 810 thousand barrels a day (TBD) in 1995, a decrease of 44 TBD, from
854 TBD in 1994. Net natural gas production of 4,554 million cubic feet a day
(MMCFD) in 1995 was 116 MMCFD lower than 1994. Combined production in the
United States was down 7% compared with 1994. International total production
was down 2%, primarily due to operational interruptions in Nigeria, natural
declines in Canada and expiration of short-term sales contracts in Indonesia,
somewhat offset by full year production from new fields in the United Kingdom
and Germany. Worldwide natural gas sales in 1995 were 6,626 MMCFD, up 689
MMCFD from the preceding year, as the gas marketing business expanded in the
U.S. and Europe. Proved liquids and natural gas reserve additions replaced
106% of 1995 production on a barrel of oil equivalent (BOE) basis, excluding
purchases and sales. The following table summarizes net production of crude
oil and natural gas liquids (NGL) and of natural gas for 1993 through 1995.

This table presents Mobil's net production from properties in which it has a
working or royalty interest and its share of production of investees accounted
for on the equity method. Net production excludes royalties and quantities
due others when produced, whether taken in kind or settled in cash.
United States
In the United States, Mobil produced 1,439 MMCFD of natural gas and 282 TBD
of liquids, or a total of 538 TBDOE during 1995. When compared with 1994,
total production decreased 7% due to natural decline of maturing fields, asset
divestment, and operational disruptions including shut-in production
associated with a number of hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico.
Mobil has narrowed its exploration focus in the U.S., concentrating
resources on high-potential Gulf of Mexico, outer continental shelf and deep
water opportunities. Mobil is also using advanced technologies to find and
develop low-cost reserves around existing infrastructures. To support these
Mobil - 3 -
Significant developments -- continued
efforts and ensure continued growth, Mobil has consolidated both exploitation
and exploration activities within a single new business opportunities team.
In 1995, the team's efforts resulted in proved reserve additions replacing 65%
of Mobil's U.S. production, excluding purchases and sales. This represents
Mobil's highest replacement rate in the U.S. since 1990.
Subsequent to year-end, Mobil announced that a non-binding letter of intent
had been signed with PanEnergy Corporation to negotiate the sale of Mobil's
natural gas gathering and processing assets (seven operated natural gas plants
and about 2,600 miles of pipeline) for approximately $300 million. The sale
would also include Mobil's equity interest in 17 additional gas-gathering and
processing operations which are operated by others in Texas, Utah, Louisiana
and Oklahoma.
In a separate but related move, Mobil Natural Gas Inc. and PanEnergy's
marketing unit are negotiating the formation of an energy marketing joint
venture which would represent the third largest gas marketing operation in
North America, with sales of more than 7 BCFD. Mobil would own 40%, with
PanEnergy controlling the remaining 60%.
Europe
1995 was a year of continued development and production growth in Europe.
Mobil's United Kingdom production reached a record 75 TBD of liquids and 577
MMCFD of natural gas for a cumulative total of 178 TBD oil equivalent, up 16%
from the previous year. Liquids production increased 7% from productivity
improvements in the Beryl, Scott and Hudson fields; gas production increased
23%, reflecting the first full year of production from the Excalibur field and
the startup of four new fields (Gawain, Galahad, Ganymede and Dawn) brought on
stream in the Southern Gas Basin.
Full year contributions from these new fields, together with commencement of
production from Nevis South, Mordred and Katrine fields, are expected to
increase 1996 production to over 185 TBD of oil equivalent.
Mobil was a successful participant in the U.K. government's 16th offshore
licensing round and received four new licenses, including one in the West of
Shetlands province. Within this promising area, Mobil is also progressing
plans to drill its first wildcat well in 1997 on previously awarded acreage.
In Norway, Mobil produced 91 TBD of liquids and 51 MMCFD of gas during 1995,
primarily from two of Europe's largest fields, Statfjord and Oseberg. To
maximize the value of these key areas, new fields are being tied into the
existing infrastructure. Two satellites are on stream in the Statfjord area,
and development will begin in 1996 on two Oseberg satellites, Oseberg East and
Oseberg South, scheduled for production start up in 1998 and 1999,
respectively.
To help replace declining production from existing assets, Mobil acquired a
20% interest in the Njord field, and increased its share in the unitized
development on Haltenbanken. The Njord field development was approved in 1995
and development is now under way with pre-drilling scheduled to begin by mid-
1996. Production start up is planned for late 1997 with Mobil's share at
peak rate expected to be 13 TBD.
Mobil - 4 -
Significant developments - continued
With a good position in the Aasgard unit, and a recent exploration discovery
on a license south of Aasgard, the Haltenbanken area will become Mobil's next
core area in Norway. The development of the Aasgard project is expected to
yield liquids production starting in 1998, and gas sales two years later.
Mobil's share of peak production will be 17 TBD and 85 MMCFD.
In early 1996, Mobil was awarded five licenses in the 15th Norwegian
licensing round, including its three top-ranked bids. These awards will allow
Mobil to continue exploring and to build on core production within the
Norwegian sector of the North Sea.
Germany's reserve replacement for gas was 135%, the result of a very
successful drilling program, including contributions from Mobil's first
horizontal well in Europe (Soehlingen Z-10) and a new gas field, Alvern.
Also in 1995, Mobil started natural gas deliveries to the former East
Germany, with an initial sales rate of 50 MMCFD, and finalized a new 500 BCF
gas import contract with Norway.
Asia-Pacific
In Indonesia, the Arun field, located in northern Sumatra, supplies
virtually all Mobil's Indonesian production. In 1995, production volumes
averaged 1,542 MMCFD of natural gas, 41 TBD of condensate and 36 TBD of
liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Booster compression facilities, needed to
maintain Arun's high gas deliverability rates, were completed and placed in
operation during 1995.
Other gas fields in North Sumatra are being developed to supplement Arun
production that will begin to decline. Development of the onshore South Lhok
Sukon A and D fields began in 1995 with first production scheduled for 1998.
The NSO "A" offshore field is planned for development beginning in 1996 with
production start up in 1999.
Mobil also has a 68.6% interest in the Madura Block offshore East Java.
Development of the Madura BD field will begin in 1996 to provide fuel for an
electric power generation plant.
P.T. Stanvac Indonesia, which was owned 50% each by Mobil and Exxon, has
been sold to an Indonesian company, Medco Energy. The sale was finalized in
December, 1995.
Other
In Canada, the Hibernia development project continued to progress in 1995
with construction of the production platform components at the main
construction site located at Bull Arm, 90 miles northwest of St. John's,
Newfoundland. The eventual site of the platform will be in 260 feet of water
at the Hibernia field some 195 miles offshore southeast of St. John's.
Production from this 615 million-barrel oil field will begin in late 1997
and should reach its peak production of approximately 135 TBD (Mobil's share,
45 TBD) before the year 2000. The crude will be transported to market by
specially built, state-of-the-art, double hulled shuttle tankers. Mobil's
share in the Hibernia project is 33.1%.
Mobil - 5 -
Significant developments -- continued
The Sable area, 130 miles off the east coast of Nova Scotia, has commercial
potential for gas production. The group of producers (Mobil and Shell
together hold about 70% of the interest) hope to tap into approximately three
trillion cubic feet of natural gas believed recoverable from six fields on the
Scotian Shelf. Mobil's interest in this area is roughly 40%. An additional
consortium, which includes Mobil and Shell, is studying the transportation
system which must be built to transport this gas to the Maritimes and
northeastern U. S. markets.
This project is expected to produce about 400 MMCFD of natural gas and 10
TBD of condensate through the staged development of the six fields.
Facilities will require the construction and installation of seven offshore
platforms, drilling of about 30 wells, laying about 250 miles of pipeline and
construction of an onshore gas processing plant. If current plans move ahead,
production from Sable could commence around the turn of the century.
In Nigeria, 1995 average equity production was 157 TBD, somewhat lower than
the 1994 level of 175 TBD due to temporary operational disruptions experienced
during the year. Despite this, there was an overall increase in field
producibility due to development projects associated with reservoir management
and workovers. Ubit field producibility, among others, increased from 18 TBD
(Mobil share) in 1994 to a record 32 TBD in 1995 as a result of technology
applications, including horizontal drilling, major facilities upgrades and
debottlenecking field processing.
The Inanga field development was fast-tracked in 1995 by leveraging existing
infrastructure. The field came on stream in late December within a year of
discovery. A peak producing rate of 20 TBD (Mobil's share, 8 TBD) is expected
in 1996 when the field is fully developed.
Proved reserves in Nigeria have grown by 50% over the past six years as a
result of exploration, 3-D seismic and reservoir management efforts. Mobil
replaced over 300% of its 1995 production, the highest replacement ratio for
any country where Mobil has production. Mobil's cost of finding and
development is among the lowest in Nigeria, inasmuch as existing
infrastructure continues to be optimized in progressing new development
opportunities.
The Oso natural gas liquids project moved a step closer in 1995 with
approval to proceed by the joint venture partners. The engineering,
procurement and construction contract was awarded in early 1995, and
construction is now progressing. Oso NGL is expected to stream in 1998, with
peak production of 51 TBD (Mobil's share, 26 TBD) being reached by year 2000.
Despite recent political problems in the country, our operations have
continued without any adverse impact.
In Qatar, Mobil participates in two liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects in
partnership with the Qatar General Petroleum Corporation. Mobil's first LNG
venture in Qatar, the Qatargas project (Mobil share 10%), expects to start
producing gas and condensate in late 1996. Initial gas production will be
used to commission the LNG facilities, while condensate production will be
sold. Qatargas expects to deliver its first cargo to Chubu Electric Power
Company of Japan in early 1997.
Mobil - 6 -
Significant developments -- Continued
Mobil's second LNG project in Qatar, Ras Laffan LNG Co. Ltd. (Mobil share,
30%), signed an agreement to supply Korea Gas Corporation with 2.4 million
metric tons of LNG annually for 25 years beginning in 1999. As a result of
the sales commitment, Mobil added 230 MMBOE of proved reserves, more than
doubling its proved reserves in Qatar.
New Business Development (NBD)
Mobil has been very active to capitalize on anticipated growth in regions
such as South America and Africa, as governments begin to allow participation
by foreign companies in upstream projects.
- Venezuela: In the Venezuelan Exploration Round in January 1996, Mobil and
partners were successful bidders on the first block awarded, the 445,000-
acre La Ceiba block located on the eastern shore of Lake Maracaibo in
western Venezuela. Mobil will have a 50% interest in the La Ceiba block.
A seismic program is scheduled to begin in 1996. During 1995, in
conjunction with Lagoven, an affiliate of Petroleos de Venezuela, Mobil
progressed negotiations for a heavy oil project.
- Peru: Mobil joined in negotiations for development of the large Camisea
gas/condensate discovery, as well as for adjacent exploration acreage.
Negotiations for additional exploration acreage in the Peruvian portion of
the Madre de Dios basin of southern Peru are ongoing.
- Equatorial Guinea: Mobil and partner, United Meridian, discovered oil in
the Zafiro prospect on the 547,000-acre B Block concession. The block is
located offshore in the Gulf of Guinea in close proximity to Mobil
production in Nigeria. Mobil, with a 75% interest, assumed operatorship
of the concession at the beginning of 1995 and made the discovery shortly
thereafter. Subsequent to the discovery, Mobil drilled three successful
appraisal wells on the Zafiro structure.
The Zafiro complex has been declared commercial. The fast-track
development plan will consist of a floating production, storage and
offloading vessel (FPSO) connected via flexible risers to subsea wells.
The four existing wells will be completed as producing wells, and four
more wells will be drilled in 1996. Production by year-end 1996 is
projected to be at 40 TBD (Mobil Share, 30 TBD). The FPSO has been
designed with the flexibility to process up to 80 TBD of crude.
- Angola: Mobil acquired a 21% interest in offshore Block 1 and
participated in two wildcat wells during 1995. While the first well was
unsuccessful, the second encountered significant signs of oil and gas. A
3-D seismic survey was acquired in late 1995 and evaluation of the area is
ongoing. Mobil expects to drill a third wildcat well in 1996.
Toward the end of 1995, Mobil and Sinangol, the national oil company,
reached agreement on a production sharing contract for the deep water
Block 20 in which Mobil holds a 50% interest and will operate. Mobil is
acquiring new seismic data and expects to drill the first wildcat well of
a two-well commitment in mid-1996.
- Algeria: Mobil's first wildcat well drilled on the 3.2 million-acre
Touggourt concession tested 1 TBD per day of light crude. Evaluation of
additional seismic data and another wildcat well are currently scheduled
for 1996.
Mobil - 7 -
Significant developments -- continued
- Egypt: Production sharing contracts were negotiated on three new Western
Desert concessions: East Bahariya, Marakia and Northeast Abu El Ghadariq.
Government approval of the production sharing contracts is expected in
early 1996. Future plans call for gathering new seismic data on all
three concessions and wildcat wells on two of the concessions by year-end
1996. Mobil will hold non-operated interests of 50% in East Bahariya;
33-1/3% in Marakia; and 24% in Northeast Abu El Ghadariq.
- Kazakstan: Mobil is the only U.S.-based member of an international
consortium selected to carry out extensive exploration of a 25 million-
acre area in the environmentally sensitive northern Caspian Sea. The
geophysical study is ongoing and expected to last through mid-1996, after
which selection of blocks by each member company is scheduled to begin.
In April 1995, Mobil signed a joint venture agreement and exploration and
development contract with the government of Kazakstan to explore for oil
and gas on the 4 million-acre Tulpar block. This block is located near
the large Karachagnak and Orenburg fields in northwestern Kazakstan.
- Azerbaijan: Mobil initiated and completed a Work Study Agreement with the
State Oil Company of the Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) which provided
improved technical data covering prospective areas of the south Caspian
offshore area.
Reserves
Mobil is required to report reserve estimates to the U.S. Department of
Energy. During 1995 Mobil filed proved reserve estimates covering the year
1994 under forms EIA-23, Annual Survey of Domestic Oil and Gas Reserves, and
EIA-28, Financial Reporting System. Such estimates were consistent with
reserve data filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (S.E.C.).

Average Sales Price/Transfer Value
The following table shows Mobil's average sales price/transfer value (transfer
values are essentially equal to third-party sales prices) and average production
costs in oil and gas producing activities in 1993, 1994 and 1995. In
calculating the "dollar per barrel" data, the divisor used is net production.
Natural gas volumes have been converted to oil equivalent barrels on a BTU
(British Thermal Unit) basis, with 5,626 cubic feet of gas per barrel. Mobil's
share of equity companies represents Mobil's share of results of operations for
producing activities of investees accounted for on the equity method. The
geographic segment "Other Areas", in this table, includes principally Canada and
Nigeria.

PETROLEUM OPERATIONS -- DOWNSTREAM
Refining
At December 31, 1995, Mobil owned or had an operating interest in 20
refineries in 12 countries. Mobil's share of crude oil refinery capacity was
2,256 TBD, 43% of which was located in the United States. Worldwide
utilization of Mobil's refining capacity averaged 94% in 1993, 92% in 1994 and
92% in 1995.
Significant developments in 1995 in Mobil's refining operations included the
following projects:
- At Altona, Australia, construction began in May, 1995 on a new fluid
catalytic cracking unit, which will increase gasoline and distillate
production at the refinery.
- At Adelaide, Australia, construction is under way on an expansion of the
refinery's lube base stock capacity. It is scheduled for completion in
late 1996.
- Construction is under way on a residual fuel oil upgrading unit at a joint
venture refinery (Mobil's share 25%) in Kawasaki, Japan, and will be
completed in 1997. It will increase production of gasoline and low-sulfur
distillates and fuel oil.
- Approval was obtained to construct an 8 TBD lubricant base stock unit
which will enhance the Jurong, Singapore, refinery. It is scheduled to
start-up in late 1997.
- In Saudi Arabia, the Petromin Lubricating Oil Refining Company (Mobil
share, 30%) is constructing a new 5.5 TBD lubricant basestock refinery in
Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, with completion scheduled in early 1997.
- In order to improve European downstream operations, the 104 TBD Woerth,
Germany, refinery was closed in 1995.

Petroleum products are marketed extensively in the U.S. and in more than 100
other countries. Mobil has nearly 19,000 retail outlets, about 40% of which
are located in the United States. Petroleum products include automotive and
aviation gasolines, motor oils, lubricants and greases, marine fuels, jet
fuels, fuel oil, diesel oil, kerosene, asphalts, naphthas, solvents, waxes and
liquefied petroleum gas.
The principal brand names identifying Mobil's products are "Mobil Unleaded",
"Mobil Super Unleaded+", "Mobil Special", "Mobil Regular", and "Mobil Premium"
gasolines, and "Mobiloil", "Mobilheat", "Mobilgrease", "Mobil 1", "Delvac 1",
and "Mobil" industrial and marine lubricants and process products.
In Tianjin, China, construction is under way on a lubricant blending plant
scheduled for streaming in 1996. This is the first 100% foreign-owned oil
industry facility approved in China. A second lubricant blending plant,
located at Taicang, China (near Shanghai), has been approved and is scheduled
to be streamed in 1997. Mobil has entered the lubricants market in Venezuela
and the retail fuels markets in Peru and Ecuador.

Marketing -- continued
Tankers
At December 31, 1995, Mobil owned 30 ocean-going tankers with an aggregate
of 3,866 thousand deadweight tons, of which one, with a capacity of 49
thousand deadweight tons, was registered in the United States. An additional
4 tankers, aggregating 324 thousand deadweight tons, were under term charter.
Mobil's second double-hull, 280 thousand deadweight-ton, very large crude
carrier was ordered in 1994, with estimated delivery in mid-1996. The vessel,
with a capacity of 2.2 million barrels of crude oil, will be similar to the
"Eagle" which was commissioned in 1993.
Pipelines
At December 31, 1995, Mobil's U.S. pipeline system, including partly-owned
facilities, consisted of 15,368 miles of crude oil, natural gas liquids,
natural gas, and carbon dioxide trunk and gathering lines, and 7,880 miles of
product lines. Also at that date, Mobil's pipeline system outside the U.S.,
including partly owned facilities, consisted of 9,182 miles of crude oil,
natural gas liquids, and natural gas trunk and gathering lines, and 2,069
miles of product lines.

Chemical Operations -- continued
Significant developments in 1995 in Mobil's chemical operations included the
following:
- The Plastics Division, consisting of the fabricated packaging and consumer
businesses, was sold in November for $1.27 billion. The sale included
plants in Macedon and Canandaigua, New York; Covington, Georgia; Temple,
Texas; Frankfort and Jacksonville, Illinois; Bakersfield, California; and
Belleville, Ontario, Canada. In 1995, Plastics had sales revenue of
approximately $1 billion. In addition, the resin trading operation, H.
Muehlstein & Co, Inc., was sold in early 1996.
- In November, a grass-roots plant for the manufacture of lubricant esters
was streamed in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The 4.4 million gallon
capacity plant will be capable of producing esters for synthetic
lubricants such as Advanced Formula Mobil 1(TM), refrigeration lubricants
for non-CFC compressors and biodegradable esters for environmentally
sensitive applications.
- A second orienter streamed in March 1995 at the oriented polypropylene
(OPP) plant in Kerkrade, the Netherlands. This doubles OPP capacity at
the plant to over 60 million pounds.
- In January, 1996 Mobil announced worldwide oriented polypropylene (OPP)
capacity expansions totaling 145 million pounds. This additional capacity
will be installed at various North American and overseas locations, and
will increase Mobil's annual worldwide OPP capacity from 430 million
pounds to 575 pounds by year-end 1998.
- Mobil authorized projects to expand capacity at Chalmette, Louisiana, and
Beaumont, Texas, as part of a program that will more than double its
worldwide paraxylene production capacity. Combined, the paraxylene
capacity of these expansions is 365,000 metric tons.
OTHER OPERATIONS
Mining and Minerals
Mobil Mining and Minerals produces and sells phosphate rock and fertilizers,
markets Mobil's recovered sulfur in the U.S. and administers other mineral
resources. The newly completed, 3.5 million ton (annual capacity) mine at
South Fort Meade, Florida, was sold in December, 1995 for $283 million. We
expect to divest our remaining mining assets in 1996. Phosphate rock
production totaled 2.7 million tons in 1995 compared with 2.3 million tons in
1994. Phosphate minerals net sales to trade were $192 million in 1995.

Other Operations - Continued
Real Estate
Mobil Land Development Corporation (Mobil Land) carries on Mobil's real
estate activities in the United States. Mobil Land has various properties in
Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Texas and Virginia. Mobil
Land sales to trade were $128 million in 1993, $201 million in 1994 and
$275 million in 1995. Included in 1995 is the sale of Colonial Place in
Arlington, Virginia. Rents to trade were $28 million in 1993, $29 million in
1994 and $20 million in 1995. Mobil Land is a 50% partner in a resort
community development in North Scottsdale, Arizona. Mobil Land is also the
100% owner of a commercial office and retail complex in Reston, Virginia.
Research
Mobil engages in research and development, principally in the U.S.,
Australia, France, Germany, Japan, Norway and the United Kingdom. Activities
include the development of technologies and services which improve Mobil's
competitiveness in core business areas -- finding oil and gas, and converting
them to fuels, lubricants and chemicals while meeting environmental, health
and safety standards. Annual research expense was $301 million in 1993, $275
million in 1994 and $252 million in 1995.

Item 2. Properties.
Mobil and its subsidiaries own, lease or have interests in extensive
production, manufacturing, marketing, transportation and other facilities
worldwide. Information on these properties has been incorporated into
Item 1. Business.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
Environmental Litigation
Mobil periodically receives notices from the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) or equivalent agencies at the state level that Mobil is a "potentially
responsible party" under Superfund or equivalent state legislation with
respect to various waste disposal sites. The majority of these sites are
either still under investigation by the EPA or the state agencies concerned,
or under remediation, or both. In certain instances, Mobil and other
potentially responsible parties have been named in court or administrative
proceedings by federal or state agencies seeking the cleanup of these sites.
Mobil has also been named as a defendant in various suits brought by private
parties alleging injury from disposal of wastes at these sites. The ultimate
impact of these proceedings on the business or accounts of Mobil cannot be
predicted at this time due to the large number of other potentially
responsible parties and the speculative nature of clean-up cost estimates, but
based on our long experience in managing environmental matters, we do not
anticipate that the aggregate level of future remediation costs will increase
above recent levels so as to materially and adversely affect our consolidated
financial position or liquidity.
On October 20, 1995, a proceeding involving Mobil Oil Corporation's Joliet,
Illinois, refinery was brought by the Environmental Protection Agency. The
penalty sought is $146,000. It is alleged that Mobil Oil Corporation violated
the Illinois State Implementation Plan under the Clean Air Act, violated the
state air regulatory standards for opacity, particulates and carbon monoxide
and failed to comply with an Agency request under the Clean Air Act.
The matter described in the preceding paragraph is not of material
importance in relation to Mobil's accounts and is described in compliance with
SEC rules regarding disclosure of such matters although not material.
Other Than Environmental Litigation
Mobil and its subsidiaries are engaged in various litigations and have a
number of unresolved claims pending. While the amounts claimed are
substantial and the ultimate liability in respect of such litigations and
claims cannot be determined at this time, Mobil is of the opinion that such
liability, to the extent not provided for through insurance or otherwise, is
not likely to be of material importance in relation to its accounts.
Mobil has provided in its accounts for items and issues not yet resolved
based on management's best judgement.

SUMMARIZED FINANCIAL DATA
Summarized financial data of Mobil Oil Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Mobil Corporation, are presented below. The year-end net obligations to
Mobil Corporation amounted to $2,676 million in 1993, $1,737 million in 1994 and
$3,373 million in 1995.
Mobil Oil Corporation engages in an integrated petroleum business and a
chemical business in the U.S., and certain of its subsidiaries are engaged in
petroleum operations outside the U.S. On December 31, 1995, Mobil Oil
Corporation transferred to its parent corporation, Mobil Corporation, its
ownership of the shares of Mobil International Petroleum Corporation, whose
