NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
------------------------------------------
Note 1. Formation of Equilon Enterprises LLC
- --------------------------------------------
On January 15, 1998, Texaco and Shell Oil Company reached agreement on the
formation and operational start up, effective January 1, 1998, of Equilon
Enterprises LLC (Equilon), a Delaware limited liability company. Equilon is a
joint venture that combines major elements of the companies' western and
midwestern U.S. refining and marketing businesses and their nationwide trading,
transportation and lubricants businesses. Texaco owns 44 percent and Shell owns
56 percent of Equilon.
Beginning January 1, 1998, we are accounting for our interest in Equilon using
the equity method. Under this method, we record our share of Equilon's results
of operations on a one-line basis to Equity in Income of Affiliates in the
Consolidated Statement of Income. We reclassified the net amount of assets and
liabilities of the businesses contributed to Equilon to Investments and Advances
in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, we now record transactions
between Texaco and Equilon as outside third-party transactions. The foregoing
results in significant variances between the 1998 and 1997 periods in the
individual line captions appearing in our financial statements.
The carrying amounts at January 1, 1998, of the principal assets and liabilities
of the businesses we contributed to Equilon were $.3 billion of net working
capital assets, $2.8 billion of net properties, plant and equipment and $.2
billion of debt.
Summarized unaudited financial information for Equilon, for the three month
period ended March 31, 1998, is presented below on a 100% Equilon basis (in
millions of dollars):
Gross revenues $6,360
Income before income taxes $ 112
We record provision for income taxes and related liability applicable to our
share of Equilon's income in our consolidated financial statements.
At March 31, 1998, we had a note receivable from Equilon of $463 million,
representing reimbursement of certain capital expenditures incurred prior to the
formation of the joint venture. These proceeds were received in April, 1998.
- 4 -
In April, 1998, Shell Oil Company entered into an agreement to sell its
Anacortes refinery to Tesoro Petroleum Corporation as part of an agreement with
the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Equilon is entitled to the net proceeds of
the sale and any gain or loss which may result from the disposition of the
refinery. Tesoro will acquire the refinery for $237 million plus a working
capital adjustment. Subject to final FTC approval, the transaction is expected
to close during the summer of 1998.
Texaco, Shell and Saudi Refining, Inc. are working to finalize agreements for a
separate joint venture involving their eastern United States and Gulf Coast
refining and marketing businesses. Initially, Texaco and Saudi Refining, Inc.
will each own 32.5 percent and Shell will own 35 percent of the joint venture.

Information relative to commitments and contingent liabilities of Texaco Inc.
and subsidiary companies is presented in Notes 16 and 18, pages 57-58 and 61,
respectively, of Texaco Inc.'s 1997 Annual Report to Stockholders.
----------
In the company's opinion, while it is impossible to ascertain the ultimate legal
and financial liability with respect to contingent liabilities and commitments,
the aggregate amount of such liability in excess of financial reserves is not
anticipated to be materially important in relation to the consolidated financial
position or results of operations of Texaco.

In the determination of preliminary and unaudited financial statements for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, our accounting policies have
been applied on a basis consistent with the application of such policies in our
financial statements issued in our 1997 Annual Report to Stockholders. In our
opinion, we have made all adjustments and disclosures necessary to present
fairly our results of operations for such periods. These adjustments include
normal recurring adjustments. The information is subject to year-end audit by
independent public accountants. We make no forecasts or representations with
respect to the level of net income for the year 1998.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Texaco's net income for the first quarter of 1998 was $259 million ($.46 per
share). This compares with net income for the first quarter of 1997 of $980
million ($1.80 per share), including a special item. Net income for the first
quarter of 1997, before a special benefit of $488 million associated with a tax
settlement, was $492 million ($.90 per share).
In the first quarter of 1998:
o Worldwide daily production rose 16 percent;
o Cash operating expenses per barrel dropped more than five
percent, aided by lower energy costs and higher volumes;
o Capital and exploratory expenditures grew 21 percent; and
o Equilon Enterprises LLC, a joint venture combining Texaco's and
Shell's western and midwestern U.S. downstream assets, began
commercial operations.
Our first quarter 1998 results were marked by increases in production, improved
downstream results and tight controls on cash operating expenses. However, these
positive factors could not overcome the decline in worldwide crude oil and
natural gas prices. Operationally, we experienced a very good first quarter.
Production increases were on target toward achieving our planned double-digit
growth for the year; however, total earnings were significantly impacted by the
drop in worldwide crude oil and natural gas prices.
The first quarter of 1998 included a full quarter of production from the Captain
and Erskine fields, both in the U.K. North Sea. Production increased in the
Partitioned Neutral Zone (between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait), Colombia, and in the
U.S. as a result of the November, 1997 acquisition of Monterey Resources.
Additionally, first quarter production included the recently acquired 20 percent
interest in the Karachaganak field in Kazakhstan.
Our worldwide downstream operations benefited from higher gasoline sales volumes
and higher margins. In the U.S., margins improved over last year's depressed
levels but weakened during the quarter due to oversupply. Equilon, our U.S.
downstream alliance with Shell Oil Company, recently began operations and
agreements are being finalized by Texaco, Shell and Saudi Refining, Inc. for a
separate joint venture involving the Eastern and Gulf Coast refining and
marketing businesses.

OPERATING EARNINGS
PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS
EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION
United States
First quarter 1998 earnings were $107 million, compared to $311 million for the
first quarter of 1997. The decline was a result of lower crude oil and natural
gas prices. Average realized crude oil prices were $11.78 per barrel, $7.84
below 1997. Crude oil prices have plummeted due to rising oil stocks and slowing
of world demand growth. Average natural gas prices were $2.14 per thousand cubic
feet (MCF), $.52 below 1997. Prices for natural gas decreased due to mild
weather as well as increased inventory levels.
Production increased more than 12 percent; however, earnings did not
significantly benefit from this increase due to low heavy crude oil prices.
Higher volumes included production from the acquired Monterey properties and
continued development of natural gas opportunities in Texas and Louisiana.
We continued to aggressively pursue producing opportunities in the Gulf of
Mexico leading to higher exploration expenses this year. Exploration expenses
for the first quarter were $96 million before tax versus $42 million last year.
Operationally, cash operating expenses on a per barrel basis were lower than the
first quarter of 1997.
International
First quarter 1998 earnings were $40 million, compared to $156 million for the
first quarter of 1997. The decline in earnings was the result of lower crude oil
prices. Average realized crude oil prices were $11.95 per barrel for the
quarter, $7.53 below 1997. At these depressed prices, earnings did not
significantly benefit from a daily production increase of 20 percent. The
increase was from a full quarter of Captain and Erskine production in 1998, both
of which are in the U.K. North Sea. Production also increased in the Partitioned
Neutral Zone and Colombia, and as a result of our recently acquired 20 percent
interest in the Karachaganak field in Kazakhstan.
Operating results for the first quarter 1998 included a non-cash currency charge
of $4 million related to deferred income taxes denominated in British pounds.
This compares to a benefit of $19 million for the first quarter of 1997.
MANUFACTURING, MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
United States
First quarter 1998 earnings were $47 million and include results from the
recently formed Equilon, our downstream alliance with Shell Oil Company.
Earnings for the first quarter of 1997 were $6 million.
Earnings in 1998 included the impact of overall lower crude costs that
temporarily improved margins. However, weather conditions weakened demand for
heating oil and West Coast gasoline. Gasoline prices, adjusted for inflation,
hit their lowest levels in 25 years. Additionally, refinery results included
scheduled downtime at several plants within our system.
Earnings for 1997 included the adverse effects of intense competition that
squeezed margins in the West Coast marketplace. Refinery fires late in 1996 and
early in 1997 negatively affected product yields and caused casualty loss
expenses during 1997.
- 8 -
International
First quarter 1998 earnings were $182 million, compared to $104 million for the
first quarter of 1997. The international refining and marketing businesses in
Europe, Latin America and our affiliate Caltex, reported higher 1998 earnings.
Our refining operations in Europe and Latin America experienced improved margins
from lower crude costs in 1998. Improved European marketing results were due to
increased sales volumes and higher retail margins primarily in the United
Kingdom. The recovery from the 1997 Scandinavian price war also contributed to
the higher earnings. Improved margins and higher sales volumes in Central
America, the Caribbean, and Brazil drove stronger marketing results in Latin
America.
In the Caltex area, margins in Korea improved due to decreased crude costs and
partial recovery of local fourth quarter 1997 currency losses. The Caltex area
also experienced a modest increase in refined product sales volumes. Although
inland sales volumes were lower due to the economic crisis in Southeast Asia,
higher trading volumes led to the overall volume improvement. Included in 1998
earnings were unfavorable net currency-related effects of $16 million; primarily
tax charges on local currency gains on U.S. obligations resulting from the
strengthening of the Korean won. Last year's results included Korean currency
losses of $21 million.
Results for 1998 included a non-cash currency charge of $3 million for the first
quarter related to deferred income taxes denominated in British pounds. This
compares to a benefit of $5 million for the first quarter of 1997.
NONPETROLEUM
Nonpetroleum earnings for the first quarter of 1998 were $2 million, compared
with $12 million for the first quarter of 1997.
CORPORATE/NONOPERATING
Corporate and nonoperating results for the first quarter of 1998 were charges of
$119 million, compared to $97 million for the first quarter of 1997, excluding
special items. The change was due principally to increased interest expense on
higher debt levels and Texaco's corporate advertising campaign introduced in the
second half of 1997.
Including a special benefit of $488 million associated with an IRS settlement,
corporate/nonoperating earnings for the first quarter of 1997 totaled $391
million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
Our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $421 million at March
31, 1998, as compared with $395 million at year-end 1997.
During 1998, our operations provided cash of $657 million. We raised an
additional $482 million from net borrowings. We spent $784 million on our
capital and exploratory program and paid $253 million in common, preferred and
minority interest dividends.
At March 31, 1998, our ratio of total debt to total borrowed and invested
capital was 33.7%, as compared with 32.3% at year-end 1997. At March 31, 1998,
our long-term debt included $1.7 billion of debt scheduled to mature within one
year which we have both the intent and ability to refinance on a long-term
basis. During the first quarter of 1998, we issued $83 million under our
Medium-Term Note Program and borrowed $150 million at 5.92% for seven years to
cover expenditures at our Erskine field in the U.K. North Sea. Commercial paper
at March 31, 1998 totaled $1,245 million, as compared with $892 million at
December 31, 1997. We maintained revolving credit facilities with commitments of
$1.7 billion, which were unused at March 31, 1998.
- 9 -
During the first quarter of 1998, we purchased about $100 million of common
stock in the open market. This completed a program under which we purchased $650
million of our common stock during the last two years. On March 30, 1998, we
announced that we will purchase up to an additional $1 billion of our common
stock, subject to market conditions, through open market purchases or privately
negotiated transactions.
In April ,1998, we received $463 million from Equilon, representing
reimbursement of certain capital expenditures incurred prior to the formation of
Equilon. Also in April, 1998, we received a cash distribution from Equilon of
$83 million.
During April, 1998, we repurchased approximately $200 million of 10.61% notes
which we assumed in connection with the November, 1997 acquisition of Monterey
Resources. We funded the repurchase by issuing commercial paper.
CAPITAL AND EXPLORATORY EXPENDITURES
- ------------------------------------
Capital and exploratory expenditures were $967 million for the first quarter of
1998, compared to $799 million for the same period in 1997.
In the United States upstream, offshore development continued in the deepwater
Gulf of Mexico where Texaco holds a strong lease-acreage position. Work
continued during the quarter on the fabrication and installation of the
Petronius compliant tower. Also, subsea development work moved forward on the
Gemini field, a major gas reserve with production expected during 1999.
Expenditures in 1998 increased for enhanced oil recovery projects using advanced
thermal recovery techniques to increase production from the acquired Monterey
properties and other core producing fields. Exploratory expenses in the United
States increased as we aggressively pursued our program to grow oil and gas
production and reserves.
Internationally, higher upstream expenditures include our investment in
discovered reserve opportunities, such as the Karachaganak venture. Development
work continued in the U.K. North Sea, Indonesia and other promising areas.
In the downstream operations, through domestic and international alliances and
subsidiaries, Texaco continues to invest in projects that enhance brand loyalty
and increase market share.
