               UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENT

On January 4, 1994, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Seagull Energy
Corporation ("Seagull" or the "Company") acquired all of the outstanding shares
of stock (the "Stock") of Novalta Resources Inc. ("Novalta") and an
intercompany note (the "Note") from Novalta to its parent, Novacor
Petrochemicals Ltd. ("Novacor Petrochemicals"). The Stock and the Note were
acquired for a purchase price of approximately $203 million in cash, subject to
customary post-closing adjustments (the "Seagull Canada Acquisition"). As of
February 1, 1994, the adjusted purchase price was estimated at $200.5 million.
The economic effective date of the Seagull Canada Acquisition was December 31,
1993 (the "Effective Date"). Effective as of the January 4, 1994 Closing Date,
Novalta was amalgamated with one of its subsidiaries along with Seagull Energy
Canada Ltd., the indirect subsidiary of Seagull that acquired Novalta. The
resulting amalgamated company was named Seagull Energy Canada Ltd. ("Seagull
Canada").

The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 1993 and 
the unaudited pro forma condensed statement of earnings for the year ended 
December 31, 1993 give effect to the Seagull Canada Acquisition, financed
initially under a new $175 million reducing revolving credit facility (the
"Canadian Credit Agreement") as well as borrowings under Seagull's amended
and restated $475 millon revolving credit line (the "Revolver") with a group of
major U.S. and international banks.

The following unaudited pro forma information has been included as required by
the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is provided for
comparative purposes only. The unaudited pro forma information presented is
based on the respective historical consolidated financial statements of Seagull
and Novalta and should be read in conjunction with such financial statements
and the related notes thereto. The historical consolidated financial statements
of Novalta as presented do not reflect the effect of certain transactions
between Novalta and NOVA Corporation of Alberta and its subsidiaries that were 
completed prior to the closing of the Seagull Canada Acquisition, such as the 
elimination of intercompany debt balances. The effect of such transactions are 
reflected in the conforming adjustments to the pro forma unaudited condensed 
financial statements. The unaudited pro forma information presented does not 
purport to be indicative of actual results, if the combinations had been in 
effect on the dates or for the periods indicated, or of future results.

All amounts are in U.S. dollars.
