    Availability of each Crude Oil Stream. The Contractors agree
    that as of August 1, 1994 there are two Crude Oil Streams
    available at the Santan Terminal:  (i) Bontang Mix, which
    results from the commingling of Crude Oil from VICO-operated
    fields with liquid condensates from the Bontang LNG plant; and
    (ii) Attaka/Badak, which results from the commingling of
    Bontang Mix with Crude Oil from fields operated by other
    parties.  From the Effective Date through July 31, 1994, the
    Contractors agree that only Badak Crude Oil was available at
    the Santan Terminal.

3.2 Any Contractor shall have the right to nominate for Lifting in
    any Month any portion of IJV Availability of a Crude Oil
    Stream not nominated for Lifting by any other Contractor as of
    the tenth (10th) day of the preceding Month. 

3.3 The Contractors recognize that of primary importance in the
    operation of the Contract Area as well as the Santan Terminal
    is the uninterrupted production of Natural Gas and its
    subsequent transformation into LNG at the Bontang liquefaction
    facilities in order to meet contractual obligations and market
    demands therefor.

3.4 VICO is hereby appointed and authorized by the Contractors to
    schedule and control all Crude Oil Liftings in conjunction
    with the Terminal Operator and to act on behalf of the
    Contractors when dealing with Pertamina pursuant to the terms
    and conditions of the Offtake Procedure.

3.5 VICO shall appoint a representative to be designated as the
    Crude Oil Offtake Coordinator who shall coordinate Liftings
    among the Contractors and at the same time endeavor to ensure
    that all Liftings are scheduled such that (i) the production
    of Natural Gas from the Contract Area and subsequent
    transformation thereof into LNG is not interrupted or
    otherwise adversely affected and (ii) planned Crude Oil
    production can at all times be contained within the limits of
    available storage.

3.6 Each Contractor shall consult with and seek advice and
    assistance from the Crude Oil Offtake Coordinator on matters
    relating to scheduling of Liftings and shipments.

3.7 Title to and risk of loss of all Crude Oil Lifted shall pass
    to the Lifting Contractor at the Point of Lifting.

3.8 All deliveries of IJV Availability shall be made at the Santan
    Terminal to a vessel nominated pursuant to the terms of this
    Agreement.

3.9 All Lifting Contractors shall comply with the applicable
    Santan Port Rules which have been properly adopted pursuant to
    Sections 4.4 and 4.5 of the Santan Operating Agreement in
    order to ensure the safe operation of the Santan Terminal and
    its harbor.  VICO shall provide copies of the Santan Port
    Rules to the Contractors upon request and shall advise of any
    proposed and actual changes with respect thereto.

3.10    Each Contractor shall pay or arrange for payment of all
        consular, agency, towage, pilotage, customs, quarantine,
        tonnage and port fees, taxes, charges and expenses
        assessed against or with respect to a vessel engaged in
        Lifting Crude Oil on behalf of that Contractor.

3.11    Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each
        Contractor shall be responsible for all taxes and other
        payments arising with respect to all Crude Oil Lifted by
        such Contractor.

        ARTICLE IV - NOTICES TO CONTRACTORS REGARDING PSC AND IJV
                              AVAILABILITY

4.1 On or before October 15th of each Year (Y), VICO shall notify
    all Contractors of the following:

    a.  VICO's estimate of PSC Availability of each Crude Oil
        Stream as of the last day of each Month of the ensuing
        Year (Y+1); 

    b.  VICO's estimate for each Crude Oil Stream of Crude Oil
        Price, Cost Oil, Pertamina Share Oil and Domestic Market
        Obligation for the ensuing Year (Y+1); and

    c.  VICO's estimate of PSC Availability of each Crude Oil
        Stream allocated to each Contractor for Lifting during
        each Quarter of the following Year (Y+1).

4.2 Upon notification, if any, by Terminal Operator of the receipt
    from Pertamina of the notice issued pursuant to Section 4(c)
    of the Offtake Procedure, VICO shall send to each Contractor
    a notice detailing the following for each Crude Oil Stream:

    a.  VICO's estimate of PSC Availability for each Month of the
        following Year (Y+1);

    b.  Pertamina's estimate, if available, of the Domestic Market
        Obligation and Pertamina Share Oil which Pertamina will
        nominate for Lifting during each Quarter of the following
        Year (Y+1); and
    
     c. VICO's estimate of IJV Availability for each Quarter
        of the Year (Y+1).

4.3 VICO shall immediately notify the Contractors of the receipt
    from Pertamina of any notice of its decision to market Cost
    Oil under Section 7.1.1(d) of the PSC.  Within twenty (20)
    days of receipt of VICO's notice of Pertamina's decision, each
    Contractor shall notify VICO if it elects to match the sales
    price designated by Pertamina for such Cost Oil and the volume
    of Cost Oil it plans to Lift from each Crude Oil Stream.  All
    estimates of IJV Availability previously delivered under this
    Article shall be subject to revision in the event Pertamina
    should exercise its right to and does, in fact, market Cost
    Oil pursuant to Section 7.1.1(d) of the PSC.
  
  4.4   VICO shall issue each Month a revised estimate of IJV
        Availability of each Crude Oil Stream for the current Year
        (Y) by Quarters reflecting changes, if any, in the
        estimated PSC Availability, the applicable Crude Oil Price
        or in any other factor used by a Contractor to calculate
        the volume of Cost Oil as to that Crude Oil Stream.


ARTICLE V - NOTICES TO CONTRACTORS REGARDING CONTRACTORS'
                              AVAILABILITY

5.1 On or before the first (1st) day of each Month (M), VICO shall
    send to each Contractor a notice setting out the following
    information, which shall be presented separately for each
    Crude Oil Stream:

    a.  Estimated Overlift or Underlift position of each
        Contractor and of Pertamina at the end of the preceding
        Month (M-1);

    b.  Estimated PSC Availability at the end of the preceding
        Month (M-1);

    c.  The estimated additions to PSC Availability during the
        Month (M), the following Month (M+1) and a provisional
        forecast for the succeeding two (2) Months (M+2 and M+3);

    d.  Pertamina's and each Contractor's Liftings for the Year to
        date and cargo nominations for the Month (M); and

    e.  Each Contractor's Availability for the following Month
        (M+1) and the PSC Availability which is available for
        Lifting by Pertamina during  such  Month (M+1).  For
        purposes of calculating a Contractor's Availability for
        the following  Month (M+1) under this subsection, a
        Contractor shall be deemed to have Lifted the quantity of
        Crude Oil equal to its accepted nomination, if any, for
        the  Month (M).

5.2 In the event VICO determines that there is a significant
    increase or decrease in the Cost Oil being attributed to the
    Contractors, VICO may choose to allocate such increased or
    decreased volumes to the Contractors in varying increments
    over any given period of Months (thereby increasing or
    reducing IJV Availability for such Months) in order to avoid
    any problems associated with a significant one-time alteration
    in the amount of Crude Oil available for Lifting by the
    Contractors or Pertamina.

5.3 Each Contractor's Interparty Imbalance shall be carried
    forward from each Year (Y) to the following Year (Y+1) and
    shall be included in the Contractor's Overlift or Underlift
    for such following Year (Y+1). Such carry-forward shall be
    performed in the manner prescribed by Section 5.4 hereof.

5.4 For each Year (Y) following the Effective Date, as to each
    Crude Oil Stream, VICO shall provide to all Contractors the
    following information (substantially in the form of Exhibit A
    attached hereto and made a part hereof) by March 1 of the
    following Year (Y+1): 

    a.  Each Contractor's Interparty Imbalance at the beginning of
        the Year (Y);

    b.  Each Contractor's Working Interest Share of additions to
        PSC Availability during the Year (Y);

    c.  The actual quantities of Crude Oil Lifted by each
        Contractor during the Year (Y);

    d.  The actual quantities of Crude Oil Lifted by Pertamina
        during the Year (Y); and

    e.  Each Contractor's Interparty Imbalance at the end of the
        Year (Y).

5.5 In reporting quantities of Crude Oil Lifted by each Contractor
    during any period pursuant to this Article V, VICO shall
    utilize the best information available at the time of each
    such report.  The Contractors recognize, however, that events
    occurring subsequent to a report may result in adjustments to
    the reported quantities of Crude Oil Lifted by one or more
    Contractors.  Pending any such adjustment, information
    reported by VICO shall be considered valid for all purposes of
    this Agreement.

               ARTICLE VI - VESSEL NOMINATION AND SCHEDULING

6.1 The Lifting of Crude Oil by the Contractors shall be scheduled
    by VICO in conjunction with the Terminal Operator, which is
    the party ultimately responsible pursuant to the terms of the
    Santan Operating Agreement for coordinating the shipping
    program at the Santan Terminal.  The actual Lifting of Crude
    Oil at the Santan Terminal shall be governed by the provisions
    of the Santan Operating Agreement (including the Offtake
    Procedure) and, as between the Contractors, the terms and
    conditions set forth herein, to the extent they do not
    conflict with the Santan Operating Agreement.

6.2 Not later than the fifth (5th) day of each Month (M), each
    Contractor shall advise VICO of its requested nomination(s)
    for each Crude Oil Stream for the forthcoming Month (M+1) and
    its provisional nominations for the following two (2) Months
    (M+2 and M+3).  With respect to Month (M+1), such
    nomination(s) shall include the following:

    a.  The name of each vessel nominated to be loaded at Santan
        Terminal (the designation "TBN" being acceptable);

    b.  The quantity to be delivered to each vessel, such quantity
        (when considered with other quantities co-loaded from the
        Santan Terminal pursuant to Section 6.7 hereof) not to
        exceed the applicable maximum or be lower than the
        applicable minimum established for an individual Lifting
        by Terminal Operator; and

    c.  The date range for each vessel, which range shall be two
        (2) days before and two (2) days after the expected
        arrival date.

6.3 If, in the opinion of VICO, cargo nominations received from
    the Contractors exceed the estimated IJV Availability of a
    Crude Oil Stream for any Month (M+1), then as to that Crude
    Oil Stream VICO shall bring such amounts into balance by
    application of the following procedures, in the sequence
    indicated:

    a.  First, VICO shall endeavor to bring such amounts into
        balance by consultation among the Contractors.  

    b.  Second, should consultation be unsuccessful, then each
        nominating Contractor shall be allocated an amount equal
        to such Contractor's Availability or the amount of its
        nomination, whichever is less.  For purposes of this
        Section 6.3, a Contractor's Availability shall be deemed
        to be zero (0) if it is otherwise determined to be a
        negative number.  

    c.  Third, should the aggregate of the amounts allocated
        pursuant to Subsection b. above exceed the estimated IJV
        Availability for Month (M+1), then in lieu of such
        allocation the IJV Availability shall be allocated for
        each Contractor based on the lesser of the following:

        i.   The Contractor's nomination; or

        ii.  An amount determined for each nominating Contractor
             by multiplying the IJV Availability for Month (M+1)
             by a fraction having a numerator equal to such
             Contractor's Availability for Month (M+1) and a
             denominator equal to the sum of Contractor's
             Availabilities of all Contractors nominating for such
             Month.

    d.  Fourth, any balance of the Crude Oil Stream available for
        Lifting following the procedure set out in Subsections a.
        through c. above shall be allocated to the nominating
        Contractors in the following order of priority:

        i.   First, to a Contractor with a positive Contractor's
             Availability for Month (M+1) in an amount not
             exceeding such Contractor's nomination (or the
             balance thereof, as the case may be), and if there is
             more than one such Contractor, priority shall be
             established in sequence commencing first with the
             nomination submitted by the Contractor with the
             greatest Contractor's Availability for such Month;
             and

        ii.  Second, to a Contractor with a negative Contractor's
             Availability for Month (M+1) in an amount not
             exceeding such Contractor's nomination (or the
             balance thereof, as the case may be), and if there is
             more than one such Contractor, first priority shall
             be established in sequence commencing with the
             nomination submitted by the Contractor with the
             smallest negative Contractor's Availability for such
             Month.

    Should two or more Contractors have Contractor's
    Availabilities of identical size, whether positive or
    negative, the highest ranking shall be given to the Contractor
    whose last Lifting (including, for this purpose, scheduled
    Liftings for the remainder of the Month) prior to the end of
    the Month (M) was earliest in time.

6.4 A Contractor whose Lifting has been reduced in accordance with
    Section 6.3 hereof shall have the right to withdraw its
    nomination by notice given promptly to VICO.  In the event of
    such withdrawal, VICO shall reapply the priorities according
    to Section 6.3 hereof to all other nominations.  With respect
    to any Month (M+1), all the adjustments, if any, which are to
    be made pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof and to this Section to
    the Contractors' nominations shall be taken into account
    before it is determined whether any conflict exists as
    described in Section 6.5 hereof.

6.5 If VICO receives two or more nominations, as adjusted pursuant
    to Sections 6.3 and 6.4 to the extent that such sections are
    applicable, which in terms of loading date conflict (which
    shall include being insufficiently separated in time to allow
    for the accumulation at Santan Terminal of PSC Availability
    necessary to supply in full the accepted nominations of the
    Contractors during the period under consideration), VICO shall
    endeavor to resolve such conflict (by means of one or more
    loading date alterations or loading quantity reductions, or
    both) by consultation with the Contractors.  Should such
    endeavor be unsuccessful, then the nomination having the
    highest ranking (as determined in accordance with Section
    6.3.d hereof) shall be accepted and the nomination(s)
    conflicting with it rejected.  This Section shall be invoked
    whether the two or more nominations which conflict as to
    loading date are nominations for Lifting of the same or of
    different Crude Oil Streams.  Any Contractor whose nomination
    is so rejected shall promptly be notified accordingly by VICO
    and shall have the right to submit, within two (2) working
    days of such notice, a further nomination for a date range in
    Month (M+1) other than (but which may overlap with) the date
    range for which it originally nominated and for a quantity of
    Crude Oil not greater than the quantity accepted by VICO in
    respect of the original nomination.  The foregoing provisions
    of this Section shall be applied to any conflict between such
    further nomination and any other nomination with respect to
    Month (M+1).  Notwithstanding the above, should the terms and
    provisions of the Offtake Procedure, including Exhibit 1,
    Tanker Nomination Procedure, attached thereto, conflict with
    the scheduling priorities as determined above, the provisions
    of the Offtake Procedure shall control.

6.6 With respect to Month (M+1), if insufficient nominations are
    received from the Contractors to enable, in VICO's reasonable
    opinion, a shipping program for that Month to be compiled
    which will keep available Crude Oil stocks of any Crude Oil
    Stream within available storage capacity of the Santan
    Terminal, then VICO shall endeavor through consultation with
    the Contractors to achieve a sufficient increase in such
    nominations.  If such endeavor is unsuccessful, VICO shall
    determine the minimum acceptable level of production for that
    Crude Oil Stream and, should the aforesaid nominations be
    insufficient to permit that level of production to be
    maintained,  one or more of the Contractors with a positive
    Contractor's Availability for that Crude Oil Stream shall be
    deemed to have nominated a quantity (or an additional
    quantity) of Crude Oil, beginning with the Contractor with the
    largest positive Contractor's Availability and followed
    successively, as necessary, by the Contractor(s) with the next
    largest positive Contractor's Availability, equal to the
    lesser of (i) the difference between the Contractor's
    Availability of such Contractor and its nomination submitted
    for the Month (M+1), or (ii) the remaining Barrels required to
    be Lifted to maintain the acceptable level of production.  No
    Contractor shall be required to nominate a volume of Crude Oil
    pursuant to this provision which, when combined with any
    existing nomination of such Contractor, would be less than any
    minimum lift requirement imposed by Terminal Operator.

6.7 Contractors may nominate for less than full cargoes of Crude
    Oil, and the nominations of more than one Contractor may be
    Lifted and loaded onto the same vessel.  Further, one or more
    Contractors may combine Liftings of a Crude Oil Stream with
    liftings of a fungible Crude Oil by another non-Contractor
    party from Santan Terminal.

6.8  Within one (1) day of receipt by VICO of the shipping program
    from Terminal Operator pursuant to Section 1.4 of Exhibit 1,
    Tanker Nomination Procedure, to the Offtake Procedure [but no
    later than the 18th day of each Month (or, in the case of
    February, the 16th day of such Month), assuming the proper and
    timely notice is given by Terminal Operator], VICO shall
    notify each Contractor of the accepted shipping program for
    the Month (M+1) and provisional programs for the following two
    (2) Months (M+2 and M+3) together with an expected loading
    date for the Month (M+1) within the five (5) day date range
    notified under Section 6.2 hereof (or applicable under Section
    6.5 or 6.6 hereof).  

6.9 At least twelve (12) days prior to the expected loading
    date(s) referred to in Section 6.8, each Contractor Lifting in
    Month (M+1) shall:

    a.  Establish with VICO a firmly scheduled three (3) day date
        range(s) of arrival at the Santan Terminal (within the
        date range(s) specified in Section 6.2.c hereof) for the
        Lifting(s) during Month (M+1) of nominations which are
        acceptable to the Lifting Contractor and VICO; and

    b.  Submit to VICO the following information for each such
        Lifting in order that such information can be conveyed to
        Terminal Operator:
        i.   Designation of the tanker, including both its name
             and size (the designation "TBN" being acceptable only
             if it is acceptable to Terminal Operator);
        ii.  Date range of the Lifting(s) (as established pursuant
             to a. above);
        iii. Designation of Crude Oil Stream from which the
             Lifting is to be made;
        iv.  Quantity of Crude Oil to be loaded on each tanker;
        v.   Designation of the Consignor and Consignee along with
             the required number of documentation copies needed
             for each (the standard documentation passing from
             Jakarta to the Santan Terminal to include a Bill of
             Lading reading "Freight Payable as Arranged",
             Certificate of Quantity, Certificate of Quality,
             Certificate of Origin, Cargo Manifest, Ullage Report,
             Tanker Time and Loading Report, the Master's Receipt
             for Sample, the Master's Receipt for Shipping
             Documents, the Dry Certificate and the Notice of
             Readiness);
        vi.  Destination of the tanker(s); and
        vii. Name of the Lifting Contractor or Contractors.
        
    The failure of a Lifting Contractor to provide the above-
    referenced information (with the exception of the name of the
    designated tanker) shall result in VICO having the right to
    invoke the emergency sale provisions of Article VIII hereof
    for the exclusive account  of  such  Contractor, 
    notwithstanding  any  provisions  thereof to the  contrary.  
    Except as otherwise provided below, such accepted program for
    the forthcoming Month (M+1) shall be considered final and
    binding.

6.10    If as a result of circumstances arising after the
        establishment of a firm shipping program for a Month (M+1)
        such program becomes infeasible, VICO shall, in
        consultation with Terminal Operator and the Contractors,
        make such equitable revisions to the scheduled Lifting(s)
        of one or more Contractors as are necessary to restore the
        feasibility of the program.

6.11    In order to ensure continuous production, VICO shall be
        further empowered to request alterations to the programs
        notified pursuant to Section 6.8 hereof.

6.12    Any Contractor may at any time request changes to its
        scheduled Lifting and VICO shall endeavor to implement
        such changes to the extent practicable under the terms of
        the Offtake Procedure, provided such changes do not
        jeopardize the scheduled Lifting of any other Contractor
        or cause a reduction of production.

6.13    All other matters concerning the actual Lifting of Crude
        Oil at Santan Terminal, whether or not specifically
        addressed in this Agreement, including, but not limited
        to, substitution of vessels, changes in Lifting date
        ranges, notification requirements and other harbor
        procedures, applicable safety regulations and Santan
        Terminal documentation requirements, shall be governed by
        the Santan Operating Agreement and the Offtake Procedure
        attached thereto (including the Tanker Nomination
        Procedure which is attached as Exhibit 1 thereto), all of
        which are incorporated herein by reference as though fully
        set forth herein.  The actual Liftings shall be ultimately
        scheduled and implemented by Terminal Operator; therefore,
        any notices required to be given to Terminal Operator by
        a Lifting Contractor shall be first submitted to VICO
        within a reasonable time prior to the date such notice is
        due under the applicable terminal procedures to allow VICO
        to relay such notice to Terminal Operator as required. 
        VICO shall use its best efforts to relay by the
        appropriate time any notice to Terminal Operator on behalf
        of a Contractor but shall in no way be held responsible
        for a failure to do so.


                    ARTICLE VII - LAYTIME AND DEMURRAGE

The provisions of Part II of Exhibit 1, Tanker Nomination
Procedure, to the Offtake Procedure concerning laytime and
demurrage shall be specifically incorporated herein for all
purposes, including, but not limited to, the calculation of laytime
and amounts due for demurrage, if any.


                     ARTICLE VIII - EMERGENCY DISPOSAL

8.1 If the production of Crude Oil or Natural Gas from the
    Contract Area is in jeopardy because insufficient quantities
    of any Crude Oil Stream have been Lifted or scheduled for
    Lifting and if, in the opinion of VICO, an emergency has
    thereby arisen, then VICO may take such action as may be
    reasonably necessary, including arranging for the disposition
    of sufficient quantities of that Crude Oil Stream so as to
    maintain the production of Crude Oil and Natural Gas at an
    acceptable rate.  Such Crude Oil shall be sold by VICO through
    an independent broker selected by VICO on an F.O.B. Santan
    Terminal basis.  VICO shall use its best efforts to receive
    the current market price for such Crude Oil sold, but in no
    way warrants its ability or the ability of the broker to do
    so.  The quantities allocated to the Contractors as set forth
    below shall be sold by VICO for the separate accounts of the
    respective Contractors concerned.

8.2 Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.9 and in this
    Section, the quantity of Crude Oil in each Lifting under this
    Article (the "Emergency Lifting Quantity") shall be allocated
    to those Contractors (if any) which have an Underlift with
    respect to the relevant Crude Oil Stream as of a time
    immediately prior to the Lifting in question.  However, if a
    Contractor has been scheduled to make a Lift pursuant to an
    accepted shipping program during a Month in which VICO deems
    an emergency to exist hereunder but such Lift has not occurred
    or been completed, or if a Contractor's nomination for the
    Month in which an emergency Lift occurs had been rejected
    pursuant to Section 6.5 hereof and was not rescheduled for
    such Month despite the best efforts of such Contractor to do
    so, the Barrels such Contractor is scheduled to Lift from the
    relevant Crude Oil Stream, or the Barrels attributable to such
    Contractor's rejected nomination, shall be subtracted from the
    Underlift attributable to such Contractor, if any, when
    determining the existence or size of a Contractor's Underlift
    for purposes of this Section.  In addition, notwithstanding
    the foregoing, if a Contractor is underlifted at the time of
    an emergency Lift but has a positive Contractor's Availability
    for the relevant Crude Oil Stream at the beginning of the
    month in which such Lift occurs which is less than the minimum
    Lift requirement imposed by Terminal Operator, the Barrels
    comprising such Contractor's Underlift shall not be considered
    for purposes of allocating to such Contractor an Emergency
    Lifting Quantity hereunder.  The Emergency Lifting Quantity
    (or a portion thereof) shall first be allocated to the
    Contractor having the largest Underlift for the relevant Crude
    Oil Stream.  The number of Barrels allocated to such
    Contractor shall equal the number of Barrels that, when
    subtracted from such Contractor's Underlift, reduces such
    Underlift to the extent that it equals the Underlift of the
    second most underlifted Contractor.  Thereafter, any remaining
    Emergency Lifting Quantity shall be allocated to both such
    underlifted Contractors equally, on a Barrel per Barrel basis,
    until their respective Underlifts, when reduced by the number
    of Barrels allocated hereunder, equal the size of the
    Underlift of the third most underlifted Contractor.  This
    process shall continue in similar fashion until the entire
    Emergency Lifting Quantity has been allocated or until all
    Underlifts for the relevant Crude Oil Stream attributable to
    the Contractors have been eliminated.  If the combined
    Underlifts of the Contractors pursuant to this Section is less
    than the Emergency Lifting Quantity, the volume in excess of
    such combined Underlifts shall be allocated to each respective
    Contractor based on such Contractor's Working Interest Share. 
    Those Barrels allocated to a Contractor hereunder comprising
    a portion of the Emergency Lifting Quantity shall be
    considered as having been Lifted by such Contractor under the
    terms of this Agreement.

8.3 The proceeds from the sale of the Emergency Lifting Quantity
    (after deduction of all related costs, including the fee
    charged by the above-mentioned broker) shall be distributed to
    the Contractors in the proportion in which the Emergency
    Lifting Quantity was allocated to the Contractors in Section
    8.2 hereof.

8.4 VICO shall immediately advise each Contractor by means of
    facsimile transmission or telex whenever VICO decides to make
    a Lifting in accordance with this Article VIII.  Upon
    confirmation of an emergency sale, VICO shall immediately
    advise each Contractor by means of facsimile transmission or
    telex of the terms of the sale, including the price, credit
    terms and the volume sold.


                    ARTICLE IX - ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES

9.1 Exhibit B, attached hereto and made a part hereof, prescribes
    the manner of Final Settlement with Pertamina and the manner
    in which Indonesian taxes shall be shared among the
    Contractors.


               ARTICLE X - CONFLICTS AND ORDER OF PRECEDENCE

10.1    The provisions of this Agreement shall be controlling as
        among the Contractors  with regard to the matters referred
        to herein, and shall take precedence over any conflicting
        provisions of the Operating Agreement dated August 8, 1968
        among the Contractors (or their predecessors in interest).

10.2    Should the provisions of this Agreement be inconsistent
        with the provisions of the Santan Operating Agreement, the
        Santan Operating Agreement shall be controlling.

Exhibit A

         EXAMPLE OF IJV PARTY YEAR-END (OVER)/UNDER CARRY-FORWARD



                     [See ANDERSON - M:\123\CRUDE-4A]

                                                                  

Exhibit B

                           ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES
                    FOR FINAL SETTLEMENT WITH PERTAMINA
                              AND TAX MATTERS



1.   Final Settlement with Pertamina

     With respect to each Crude Oil Stream, within sixty (60) days
     after the end of each Year (Y), VICO shall send to each
     Contractor a notice setting forth the respective underlift or
     overlift position of the Contractors and Pertamina for each
     Crude Oil Stream, as documented in that certain report filed
     by VICO each year with Pertamina/BPPKA, entitled "Fourth
     Quarter Financial Status  Report for East Kalimantan Area"
     (the "4th Quarter Report").  For purposes of this Exhibit B,
     any payment owed by either the Contractors or Pertamina for a
     Year (Y) based on the applicable underlift or overlift
     position described in the 4th Quarter Report shall be referred
     to as the "Final Settlement" for such Year (Y).  

     Any Final Settlement payment received from Pertamina shall be
     distributed by VICO, within two (2) business days after
     receipt thereof, to the Contractors in proportion to their
     Working Interest Shares.  Any Final Settlement amount due
     Pertamina by the Contractors shall be borne by the Contractors
     individually in proportion to their Working Interest Shares. 
     Upon VICO's request, each Contractor shall advance to VICO its
     respective share of any payment due Pertamina pursuant to this
     Exhibit B.

     With respect to each Crude Oil Stream, if the Contractors make
     a payment to Pertamina or Pertamina makes a payment to the
     Contractors with respect to the Year (Y), the amount of Crude
     Oil Lifted by each Contractor during the Year (Y), as reported
     pursuant to Section 5.4 hereof, shall be adjusted, provided
     that, until the 4th Quarter Report is filed with
     Pertamina/BPPKA, the corresponding unadjusted positions shall
     be considered valid for the purposes of applying the
     provisions of Section 5.1 of this Agreement.  If the
     Contractors make a payment to Pertamina, the amount of Crude
     Oil Lifted by each Contractor during the Year (Y) shall be
     reduced by the number of Barrels determined by dividing the
     amount (expressed in United States Dollars) the Contractor
     contributed to the payment to Pertamina by the price per
     Barrel utilized in the 4th Quarter Report, being the weighted
     average Crude Oil Price in effect during such Year.  If
     Pertamina makes a payment to the Contractors, the amount of
     Crude Oil Lifted by each Contractor during the Year (Y) shall
     be increased by the number of Barrels determined by dividing
     the amount (expressed in United States Dollars) a Contractor
     received by the price per Barrel utilized in the 4th Quarter
     Report.


2.   Contractor's Share of Taxes

     As to each Crude Oil Stream, when the Final Settlement
     position between the Contractors and Pertamina is determined,
     a settlement between Contractors shall be made to ensure that
     the amount of Indonesian income taxes paid by each Contractor
     corresponds to the tax liability on each Contractor's final
     year-end lifting entitlement.  The amount of Indonesian income
     taxes incurred on Crude Oil Lifted by a Contractor shall be
     computed as if such Contractor's Indonesian tax return was
     prepared taking into consideration such Contractor's Annual
     Crude Oil Gross Receipts but excluding therefrom such
     Contractor's Working Interest Share of cost recovery and
     investment credit.  For purposes of the above computation, the
     Domestic Market Obligation adjustment shall be allocated to
     the Contractors based on their respective Working Interest
     Shares.  Each Contractor shall bear its own lifting price
     variance.  An adjustment will be made to each Contractor's
     taxable income for the Interparty Imbalance (in Barrels)
     multiplied by the price per Barrel utilized in the 4th Quarter
     Report.

     An illustration of the calculation of each Contractor's share
     of the final tax liability is attached.

     Each Contractor's income tax liability as determined above
     shall be compared to actual Indonesian income taxes paid,
     including each Contractor's share of taxes paid on Domestic
     Market Obligation receipts.  As soon as practicable after the
     end of a Year, VICO shall notify the Contractors of the amount
     of taxes owed and paid by each Contractor with respect to such
     Year, and if during the course of such Year a Contractor has
     paid an amount in taxes which is below or in excess of its
     income tax liability, an appropriate adjustment shall be made
     with respect to such Contractor in the following month's cash
     call.


3.   Termination of Production, P.S.C.

     Once production of Crude Oil ceases or the Contract Area is
     returned to Pertamina, or at such earlier time as shall be
     agreed by the Contractors, the Contractors shall, within
     ninety (90) days of such date, meet to determine an interim
     settlement procedure among the Contractors, pending Final
     Settlement with Pertamina.

Re:   Establishment of Lifting Groups;
      Side Letter to Fourth Amended and Restated 
                Implementation Procedures for Crude Oil Liftings


Gentlemen: 

For purposes hereof, please refer to the Fourth Amended and
Restated Implementation Procedures for Crude Oil Liftings (the
"Agreement") dated effective January 1, 1994, by and among the
undersigned.  All references to article and section numbers herein
are to the corresponding provisions in the Agreement, and all the
terms used herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the
Agreement.

The Contractors hereby agree that, for the period herein stated,
the right and obligation to Lift the Contractor's Availability of
each Crude Oil Stream attributable to Virginia International
Company ("Virginia International") and Virginia Indonesia Company
("VICO") under the terms and provisions of the Agreement shall be
allocated and transferred in equal portions to LASMO Sanga Sanga
Limited ("LASMO") and Union Texas East Kalimantan Limited ("UTP"). 
These two combinations of interests shall be referred to
respectively as the "LASMO Lifting Group" and "UTP Lifting Group".

The interests of those Contractors comprising each of the LASMO
Lifting Group and UTP Lifting Group shall be combined, and each
group shall be considered as a Contractor under the Agreement, for
purposes of determining or allocating, as the case may be, Working
Interest Share, Contractor's Availability, Overlifts, Underlifts,
annual and monthly nominations and entitlements, Emergency Lifting
Quantity, Final Settlement and Domestic Market Obligation, subject
to the further provisions hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
each of the Parties shall continue to prepare its individual tax
returns based on its specific interest and shall be entitled to
receive all notices as specified in Article XI.

As among the members of the two lifting groups created hereby, the
nominations and Liftings of such groups shall be allocated based on
a Contractor's prorata share of the combined interests of the
lifting group participants.  These percentages are as follows:

                    LASMO or UTP . . . . . . . . . .  69.42148%
                    Virginia International . . . . .  20.66116%
                    VICO . . . . . . . . . . . . . .   9.91736%

              The agreement set forth herein shall remain in effect for so
long as (i) each of LASMO plc and Union Texas Petroleum Holdings,
Inc., directly or indirectly through their respective subsidiaries,
continues to own fifty percent (50%) of the Unimar Company, which
in turn indirectly owns Virginia International and VICO or (ii) the
Agreement is terminated, whichever first occurs.

              If the foregoing fully and accurately sets forth our
agreement, please indicate your acceptance of this letter in the
appropriate space below.


                                  Sincerely,

VIRGINIA INDONESIA COMPANY
