                        PENNZOIL COMPANY
      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           (UNAUDITED)


(1)  General -

      The  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  included
herein  have been prepared by Pennzoil Company ("Pennzoil") without
audit  and  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  financial
statements  and  the  notes thereto included in  Pennzoil's  latest
annual  report.   The foregoing financial statements  include  only
normal  recurring  accruals  and  all  adjustments  which  Pennzoil
considers necessary for a fair presentation.


(2)  Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits -

      Effective  January 1, 1994, Pennzoil changed  its  method  of
accounting  for  postemployment  benefit  costs  by  adopting   the
requirements   of  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting   Standards
("SFAS")   No.   112,  "Employers'  Accounting  for  Postemployment
Benefits,"  and  recorded a charge of $4.9  million  ($7.6  million
before  tax),  or $.11 per share, as of that date  to  reflect  the
cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle for periods
prior to 1994.


(3)  Acquisition of Co-enerco Resources Ltd. -

      In  June 1994, Pennzoil Canada, Inc. ("Pennzoil Canada"),  an
indirect  wholly  owned subsidiary of Pennzoil, acquired  Co-enerco
Resources  Ltd.  ("Co-enerco"), a Canadian oil and gas  exploration
and production company operating in Western Canada.
     Pennzoil Canada paid $230.9 million in cash in connection with
the  acquisition  of  Co-enerco and the  repayment  of  Co-enerco's
outstanding bank debt.  The acquisition was accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting, and the results of operations of Co-
enerco   subsequent  to  June  1994  are  included  in   Pennzoil's
consolidated statement of income.


(4) Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets -

     In  March 1995 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
SFAS  No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," which is intended  to
establish  more consistent accounting standards for  measuring  the
recoverability  of  long-lived assets.  In certain  instances,  the
statement  specifies that the carrying values of assets be  written
down  to   fair  values,  which,  for  Pennzoil,  could  result  in
write-downs that  were previously not required under  its  existing
impairment  policy.  Such charges would result primarily  from  the
more  detailed impairment review procedures that would be  required
on  Pennzoil's  proved  oil  and gas  properties.   Under  the  new
standard, assets to be reviewed for impairment are required  to  be
grouped  at the lowest level for which there are identifiable  cash
flows  that  are  largely independent of the cash  flows  of  other
groups.  Under  current  policy, oil and gas  assets  reviewed  for

  6
             PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION - continued

impairment  are  grouped at a higher level.   While  the  potential
impact  of the new standard cannot be fully assessed at this  time,
Pennzoil believes that the adoption of this statement could  result
in  a  substantial charge to operating earnings and a corresponding
write-down of Pennzoil's fixed assets, primarily those  related  to
oil  and  gas  producing activities.  Pennzoil must adopt  the  new
standard no later than for its quarter ending March 31, 1996.




Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
        and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

      A  net loss was reported for the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1995 of $4.8 million, or $.10 per share, and $2.0 million,
or  $.04 per share, respectively.  This compares with net income of
$16.8  million, or $.37 per share, for the second quarter  of  1994
and $22.6 million, or $.49 per share, for the six months ended June
30,  1994.  Effective January 1, 1994, Pennzoil changed its  method
of  accounting  for postemployment benefit costs  by  adopting  the
requirements   of   SFAS  No.  112,  "Employers'   Accounting   for
Postemployment Benefits."  As a result, Pennzoil recorded a  charge
of  $4.9  million,  or $.11 per share, as of January  1,  1994,  to
reflect the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for
periods  prior  to  1994.  Excluding this charge,  income  for  the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995 decreased $21.6 million,
and  $29.6  million, respectively, from the comparable  periods  in
1994.  The decrease in earnings for both the quarter and six months
ended  June  30,  1995, compared to the prior year,  was  primarily
attributable  to lower results from the oil and gas and  motor  oil
and  refined  products  segments.  These decreases  were  partially
offset by higher results from the franchise operations segment.


Oil and Gas

      Operating  income from this segment for the quarter  and  six
months  ended  June 30, 1995 was $32.5 million and  $45.4  million,
respectively.  This compares with operating income of $54.1 million
and $91.7 million, respectively, for the same periods in 1994.  The
decrease  in operating income for both the quarter and  six  months
ended  June 30, 1995 was primarily due to lower natural gas  prices
and   higher  depreciation,  depletion  and  amortization  ("DD&A")
expense.   The higher DD&A expense was attributable to an  increase
in  barrels  of  oil equivalent  sold and higher  DD&A  rates.  The
higher  DD&A  rates resulted, in part, from a settlement  with  the
Internal  Revenue  Service  in October 1994,  which  increased  the
carrying  value  of certain oil and gas properties.   Reference  is
made  to  Note  8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  in
Pennzoil's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December
31,  1994.    Partially offsetting these decreases for the  quarter
ended  June  30,  1995 were higher liquids volumes and  prices  and
higher  other  income, primarily due to $6.6 million  in  gains  on
sales  of  assets.  The decreases in operating income for  the  six
months  ended June 30, 1995 were partially offset by higher liquids
and  natural  gas  volumes, higher liquids prices, lower  operating
expenses and higher other income, primarily due to $9.6 million  in
gains  on  sales  of  assets.  Operating costs per  barrel  of  oil
equivalent produced for the quarter and six months ended  June  30,
1995,  excluding DD&A and exploration expense, decreased  $.13  and
$.47, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1994.

  7
             PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION - continued

      Natural gas volumes produced for sale during the quarter  and
six  months ended June 30, 1995 were 718.6 MMcf per day  and  700.5
MMcf  per day, respectively.  This compares to 720.5 MMcf  per  day
and 690.2 MMcf per day, respectively, for the same periods in 1994.
Liquids  production volumes were 69.6 Mbbls per day and 71.4  Mbbls
per  day,  respectively, for the quarter and six months ended  June
30,  1995  compared to 66.2 Mbbls per day and 64.8 Mbbls  per  day,
respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June  30,  1994.
      In March 1995, Pennzoil and Brooklyn Union Gas Co.  formed  a
new gas marketing venture through their subsidiaries, Pennzoil  Gas
Marketing  Company  and BRING Gas Services  Corp.   The  50-50  gas
marketing  venture  is known as PennUnion Energy  Services,  L.L.C.
("PennUnion").  Pennzoil contributed $3.7 million to the venture in
March  1995 and has committed a substantial majority of its natural
gas  production  from  the  continental  U.S.  to  be  marketed  by
PennUnion.
      In March 1995 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
SFAS  No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," which is intended  to
establish  more consistent accounting standards for  measuring  the
recoverability  of  long-lived assets.  In certain  instances,  the
statement  specifies that the carrying values of assets be  written
down  to  fair  values,  which,  for  Pennzoil,  could  result   in
write-downs that  were previously not required under  its  existing
impairment  policy.  Such charges would result primarily  from  the
more  detailed impairment review procedures that would be  required
on  Pennzoil's  proved  oil  and gas  properties.   Under  the  new
standard, assets to be reviewed for impairment are required  to  be
grouped  at the lowest level for which there are identifiable  cash
flows  that  are  largely independent of the cash  flows  of  other
groups.  Under  current  policy, oil and gas  assets  reviewed  for
impairment  are  grouped at a higher level.   While  the  potential
impact  of the new standard cannot be fully assessed at this  time,
Pennzoil believes that the adoption of this statement could  result
in  a  substantial charge to operating earnings and a corresponding
write-down of Pennzoil's fixed assets, primarily those  related  to
oil  and  gas  producing activities.  Pennzoil must adopt  the  new
standard no later than for its quarter ending March 31, 1996.


Motor Oil & Refined Products

      Operating  income from this segment for the quarter  and  six
months  ended  June 30, 1995 was $13.4 million and  $27.7  million,
respectively.   This compares to operating income of $16.6  million
and $42.4 million, respectively, for the same periods in 1994.
      In  July  1995,  Pennzoil Products Company ("PPC")  announced
plans  to  close  The  Eureka  Pipe  Line  Company  ("Eureka")   in
approximately  six  months.   Eureka, a  wholly  owned  subsidiary,
operates  a  crude  oil  gathering system  in  West  Virginia.   In
connection with the decision to close the facility, PPC recorded  a
charge  of $5.7 million in June 1995 for estimated costs associated
with  the closing.  Excluding the closing costs accrued for Eureka,
operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 increased $2.5
million from the same period in 1994.  The increase was due in part
to  higher domestic and international motor oil margins and  higher
refinery  margins.  Partially offsetting these were lower specialty
product  and  other  product margins and lower domestic  motor  oil
volumes.
      Operating  income  for the six months ended  June  30,  1995,
excluding  the  closing  costs accrued for Eureka,  was  down  $9.0
million  from  the same period in 1994.  The decrease in  operating
income  was  primarily  due to lower specialty  and  other  product
margins,   and   a  $4.0  million  litigation  settlement   charge.
Partially  offsetting  these were higher  volumes  for  motor  oil,
specialty and other products.

             PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION - continued

      In July 1995, PPC agreed to purchase a one-third ownership in
a   manufacturing  and  marketing  company  located   in   Caracas,
Venezuela.   The  company,  Aceites y Solventes  Venezolanos  VASSA
S.A.,   is   constructing  a  facility  in  Cardon,  Venezuela   to
manufacture  white oils, solvents, and transformer  oils  for  sale
primarily  in  South America, Central America, and  the  Caribbean.
Pennzoil's capital investment will be approximately $14.5  million,
a  portion  of which will be financed through non-recourse  project
financing.


Franchise Operations

     The franchise operations segment, operating through Pennzoil's
wholly  owned  subsidiary  Jiffy Lube International,  Inc.  ("Jiffy
Lube"), recorded operating income of $5.0 million and $4.9 million,
respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June  30,  1995.
This  compares  with  operating income of  $2.3  million  and  $1.6
million,  respectively, for the same periods in 1994. The  increase
in  operating  income for 1995 is primarily due to  higher  company
store  results and lower operating expenses.  Results for  the  six
months  ended  June  30,  1995 include a  $6.0  million  litigation
settlement charge.
      Domestic systemwide sales  reported  on  a  comparable  store
basis  for  the   quarter  and  six   months  ended  June 30,  1995
increased  $7.4  million, or  4.9%,  and  $15.9  million, or  5.5%,
respectively, from comparable  periods in 1994.  Comparable  stores
in the  Jiffy Lube system  reported a 3.8% increase  in  the  total
number  of  vehicles  serviced.  There  were  1,142  domestic  lube
centers (including 462  Jiffy Lube  company-operated centers)  open
as of June 30, 1995.
      Jiffy  Lube currently operates six fast-oil change operations
in  Sears Auto Centers in Kentucky and New Jersey as part of a test
which  began in mid-1994.  In March 1995, Jiffy Lube and the  Sears
Merchandise Group ("Sears") agreed to open as many as 456  fast-oil
change units in Sears Auto Centers over the next three years.   The
agreement calls for Jiffy Lube to open as many as 234 company-owned
units  and 222 franchise units.  Under  the  agreement,  Jiffy Lube
remodels, equips  and  operates  service  areas  within  the  Sears
Auto  Centers, while Sears continues to utilize the remaining  bays
for  its  operations.  As a first step, Sears and Jiffy  Lube  have
agreed  to  set  up  145 company-owned units and anticipates having
approximately  50  to  60  of  these  centers  open  by  year  end.
Sears and Jiffy Lube will continue to review the  market  and  work
toward  agreement  on the  final  plans for the remaining 311 units
by later this year.


Sulphur

      In  October  1994,  Pennzoil entered into an  agreement  with
Freeport-McMoRan Resource Partners, Limited Partnership ("Freeport-
McMoRan") providing for the sale of substantially all the  domestic
assets  of  Pennzoil's  sulphur segment to  Freeport-McMoRan.   The
transaction  was completed in January 1995.  Pennzoil continues  to
operate  its related international sulphur business.  Beginning  in
January 1995, the results of such operations are included in  other
segment operating income.

Other

      Other  operating income for the quarter and six months  ended
June  30,  1995  was $6.9 million and $47.9 million,  respectively,
compared  with  $17.8 million and $34.7 million, respectively,  for
the  same periods in 1994.  The decrease in other operating  income
for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, compared to the same period in
1994,  was  due to lower investment income as the result of  having
lower investable funds.  The increase in other operating income for
the six months ended June 30, 1995, compared to the same period  in
1994,  was  primarily  due to a favorable  resolution  of  a  Texas
franchise tax issue, which resulted in Pennzoil's receiving a $23.2
million refund.  In addition, Pennzoil received approximately  $1.5
million in interest associated with the franchise tax refund.  This
increase  was  partially offset by lower investment income  as  the
result of having lower investable funds.
     Net interest expense for the quarter and six months ended June
30,  1995  increased $4.2 million and $11.1 million,  respectively,
from  the  same periods in 1994 primarily due to increased  average
borrowings at higher rates.




Capital Resources and Liquidity

     As of June 30, 1995, Pennzoil had cash and cash equivalents of
$36.4 million, an increase of $11.5 million over December 31, 1994.
Cash  flows from operating activities totaled $264.0 million during
the six months ended 1995.
      Pennzoil's  other income includes dividend  income  from  its
investment  in common  stock of Chevron Corporation ("Chevron")  of
$8.4 million and $16.7 million  for  the  quarter  and  six  months
ended June 30, 1995,  respectively  compared  to $8.4  million  and
$16.7  million,   respectively,  for  the  same  periods  in  1994.
In July 1995, Chevron  announced  an  increase  in  the  amount  of
quarterly dividends paid  to  holders  of  its  common  stock  from
$.4625 per share to $.50 per share.
      In February 1995, Pennzoil's Board of Directors increased the
limit on the aggregate amount of commercial paper that Pennzoil may
issue  under its domestic commercial paper program and/or its Euro-
commercial  paper  program from $250.0 million to  $500.0  million.
Borrowings  under  Pennzoil's commercial paper  facilities  totaled
$415.0 million and $243.9 million at June 30, 1995 and December 31,
1994,   respectively.   The  cash  provided  by  the  increase   in
borrowings  under Pennzoil's commercial paper facilities  was  used
primarily  to repay $205.0 million in borrowings under an unsecured
revolving credit facility with a group of banks.
      In  April 1995, Pennzoil received a cash tax refund of $116.9
million from the Internal Revenue Service, which was used to reduce
borrowings under its commercial paper facilities.
