                  -This presentation contains projections and other
                  forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A
                  of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
                  Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These projections and
                  statements reflect the company's current views with respect to
                  future events and financial performance. No assurances can be
                  given, however, that these events will occur or that these
                  projections will be achieved, and actual results could differ
                  materially from those projected as a result of certain
                  factors. A discussion of these factors is included in the
                  company's periodic reports filed with the Securities and
                  Exchange Commission.

                  -The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with
                  the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves that a company has
                  demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation
                  tests to be economically and legally producible under existing
                  economic operating conditions. We use certain terms in this
                  presentation, such as probable reserves, that the SEC's
                  guidelines prohibit registrants from including in filings with
                  the SEC. Investors are urged to consider closely the
                  disclosure in Amerada Hess's Form 10-K, File No. 1-1204,
                  available from Amerada Hess, 1185 Avenue of the Americas, New
