ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation is one of the world's largest independent
oil and gas exploration and production companies with 935.1 million energy
equivalent barrels (MMEEBs) of proved reserves as of December 31, 1998.
The Company's reserve mix shifted in 1998, primarily due to recent
discoveries in the Gulf of Mexico's sub-salt trend and continued development
activity onshore the U.S., which resulted in a significant increase in natural
gas reserves. As of year-end 1998, natural gas reserves accounted for 47% of the
Company's total proved reserves, compared to 41% at year-end 1997.
About 74% of the Company's total proved reserves are located in the U.S.,
primarily in the mid-continent (Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas) area, offshore in
the Gulf of Mexico and in Alaska. During 1998, 97% of the Company's production
was located in the U.S. The Company also owns and operates gas gathering systems
in its U.S. core producing areas.
Overseas, Anadarko is developing crude oil reserves in Algeria's Sahara
Desert and has commenced oil production. At year-end 1998, the Company had 245
million barrels (MMBbls) of proved crude oil reserves in Algeria, which accounts
for 26% of Anadarko's total proved reserves. First oil production from the Hassi
Berkine South (HBNS) Field began in May 1998. Development of other commercial
fields in Algeria is underway and production is expected to increase
substantially over the next several years. The Company also participates in
other international exploration projects in Eritrea, the North Atlantic Margin
and Tunisia.
The principal subsidiaries of Anadarko include: Anadarko Algeria
Corporation (Anadarko Algeria); Anadarko Energy Services Company; and, Anadarko
Gathering Company. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "Anadarko"
or "Company" refer to Anadarko and its subsidiaries. The Company's corporate
offices are located at 17001 Northchase Drive, Houston, Texas 77060-2141, where
the telephone number is (281) 875-1101.
A discussion of key issues that face Anadarko and the industry are included
in the narrative on pages 6 through 17 of the Anadarko Petroleum Corporation
1998 Annual Report to Stockholders (Annual Report), which is incorporated herein
by reference.
PROVED RESERVES AND FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS
As of December 31, 1998, Anadarko had proved reserves of 2.65 trillion
cubic feet (Tcf) of natural gas and 494.0 MMBbls of crude oil, condensate and
natural gas liquids (NGLs). Combined, these proved reserves are equivalent to
935.1 MMBbls of oil or 5.61 Tcf of gas. The Company's reserves have grown
significantly over the past three years, due to substantial natural gas reserves
discovered in the Gulf of Mexico and onshore U.S., crude oil reserves discovered
in Algeria and Alaska and acquisitions of producing properties. At year-end
1998, Anadarko's total proved reserves were comprised of 47% natural gas and 53%
crude oil, condensate and NGLs.
As of December 31, 1998, Anadarko had proved developed reserves of 1.64 Tcf
of natural gas and 163.7 MMBbls of crude oil, condensate and NGLs. Proved
developed reserves comprise 47% of the total proved reserves on an energy
equivalent barrel basis.
The Company's estimates of proved reserves and proved developed reserves
owned at December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 and changes in proved reserves during
the last three years are contained in the Supplemental Information on Oil and
Gas Exploration and Production Activities (Supplemental Information) in the
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation 1998 Consolidated Financial Statements
(Consolidated Financial Statements) under Item 8 of this Form 10-K Annual Report
(Form 10-K). The Company files annual estimates of certain proved oil and gas
reserves with the Department of Energy, which are within 5% of these amounts.
Also contained in the Supplemental Information in the Consolidated
Financial Statements are the Company's estimates of future net cash flows,
discounted future net cash flows before income taxes, and discounted future net
cash flows after income taxes from proved reserves.

Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of natural gas,
crude oil, condensate and NGLs which geological and engineering data demonstrate
with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known
reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Reserves are
considered proved if economical producibility is supported by either actual
production or conclusive formation tests. Reserves which can be produced
economically through application of improved recovery techniques are included in
the "proved" classification when successful testing by a pilot project or the
operation of an installed program in the reservoir provides support for the
engineering analysis on which the project or program was based. Proved developed
oil and gas reserves can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with
existing equipment and operating methods.
The Company emphasizes that the volumes of reserves are estimates which, by
their nature, are subject to revision. The estimates are made using all
available geological and reservoir data, as well as production performance data.
These estimates are reviewed annually and revised, either upward or downward, as
warranted by additional performance data.
VOLUMES AND PRICES
The following table shows the Company's annual production volumes. Volumes
for natural gas are in billion cubic feet (Bcf) at a pressure base of 14.73
pounds per square inch (psi) and volumes for oil, condensate and NGLs are in
thousands of barrels (MBbls). Total volumes are in MMEEBs. For this computation,
six thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of gas is the energy equivalent of one barrel of
oil, condensate or NGLs.

PROPERTIES AND ACTIVITIES -- UNITED STATES
U.S. reserves comprise 74% of Anadarko's total proved reserves, compared to 74%
in 1997 and 79% in 1996.
ONSHORE
OVERVIEW The Company's onshore reserves comprise about 52% of total proved
reserves. These reserves are located principally in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and
Alaska. In 1998, average production from the Company's onshore properties was
334 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of gas and 38,000 barrels of liquids per
day, or 73% of the Company's total production volumes. Anadarko has 1,355,000
gross (540,000 net) undeveloped lease acres and 1,073,000 gross (824,000 net)
developed lease acres onshore in the U.S.
The accompanying map illustrates by state Anadarko's undeveloped and
developed net acreage, number of net producing wells and other data relevant to
its onshore oil and gas operations.
HUGOTON EMBAYMENT One of Anadarko's largest assets is its reserves in the
Hugoton Embayment, located in southwest Kansas and the Oklahoma and Texas
panhandles. Currently, Anadarko controls about one million lease acres in this
area and operates about 2,750 wells. Anadarko's net production from the Hugoton
Embayment in 1998 was 84.4 Bcf of gas and 1.45 MMBbls of oil and condensate, or
about 33% of the Company's total production volumes.
In 1998, Anadarko only drilled 118 conventional wells, seven horizontal
wells and recompleted 24 wells in the area due to lower oil and gas prices. By
comparison, 1997 activity included 177 conventional wells, 49 horizontal wells
and 55 recompletions. It should be noted that the 1997 activity was
exceptionally high as a result of a special initiative to increase domestic
production growth.
Anadarko's activities in the Hugoton Embayment are concentrated on two
areas: the shallow gas fields in southwest Kansas and the Oklahoma and Texas
panhandles and the deeper oil and gas zones below the shallow gas production.

Highlights from Anadarko's deep drilling program in the Hugoton Embayment
during 1998 included the discovery of a new interval in the prolific Chester
formation. The Smith AF-1 well, which was drilled in the Lorena Field of Beaver
County, Oklahoma, tested 1.5 MMcf/d of gas and 82 barrels of oil per day (BOPD)
and confirmed the presence of the Basal Chester reservoir. In 1998, the Company
drilled six wells in the Lorena Field, five of which were successful and were
producing 7.5 MMcf/d of gas and 617 BOPD at year-end 1998.
In Seward County, Kansas, Anadarko continued a major delineation program in
the Archer Field targeting the deeper St. Louis formation. While traditionally
more prolific than other zones in the area, the St. Louis interval is more
difficult to image with seismic. Data obtained as part of a 3-D seismic
acquisition program in 1997 was instrumental in allowing the Company to identify
prospects. During 1998, a total of 14 wells were drilled in the St. Louis
formation. During 1999, Anadarko plans to shoot an additional 34 square miles of
3-D seismic data in an effort to extend the Archer and Lorena Fields.
In 1998, Anadarko obtained approximately 180 square miles of seismic
information on acreage acquired in 1997 as part of a joint venture with Mobil
Exploration and Production, U.S., Inc. Anadarko serves as operator of the 50/50
partnership.
Over the last five years, Anadarko has drilled more than 600 wells (gross)
in the Hugoton Embayment. In addition to development drilling, Anadarko's
operations in this area have benefited from acquisitions of producing
properties, gas gathering systems and waterflood operations.
CENTRAL OKLAHOMA Anadarko more than doubled its acreage position in Central
Oklahoma's Golden Trend area in 1998 after acquiring 37,000 gross acres from OXY
USA, Inc. The $118 million purchase gave the Company working interests in five
oil and gas fields with net production of 2,600 BOPD and 5.4 MMcf/d of gas, as
well as an interest in an eight-inch, 120-mile CO(2) pipeline. Prior to the
acquisition, Anadarko operated about 300 oil and gas wells in the Golden Trend
area and had interests in 31,000 gross acres. The OXY purchase added 370
producing and injection wells. Aside from the additional production volumes, the
OXY purchase offers Anadarko opportunities to build on its success in a
traditionally gas-producing area. The properties contain proved reserves of 19.2
MMEEBs and Anadarko has identified a significant number of additional prospects
that could increase reserves and production of oil and gas in the future. With
the purchase of the pipeline, Anadarko becomes the only CO(2) provider in the
area. In addition to using CO(2) for its own tertiary recovery operations, the
Company is marketing CO(2) to third parties.
At year-end 1998, gross production from the Company's 286 Golden Trend
wells was 31.1 MMcf/d of gas and 900 BOPD. In the last five years, Anadarko has
drilled 100 wells in the Golden Trend and implemented a 40-acre infill drilling
program. Since 1994, the Company has drilled 31 increased density wells,
including 22 in 1998 alone. Value is added to the Company's Golden Trend assets
through the Anadarko-operated Antioch Gathering System. The system has 130 miles
of pipe and connects over 200 wells in the area. During 1998, the Antioch system
moved an average of 28 MMcf/d of gas and 300 BOPD.
PERMIAN BASIN Drilling activity during 1998 declined from record levels
achieved in 1997, due directly to low oil prices. Anadarko drilled 94 Permian
Basin wells in 1998 (39 primary and 55 secondary). About 130 wells planned for
1998 were deferred. Net oil production from the area at year-end 1998 was 10,700
BOPD, approximately 35% of the Company's total oil production volumes.
In the Permian Basin, Anadarko holds interests in 227,000 gross (137,000
net) lease acres and operates about 2,800 active wells. In 1998, Anadarko
increased its acreage position in the Permian Basin by acquiring an additional
14,800 net acres.
A field extension program which was started in 1994 in the Ketchum Mountain
(Clearfork) Field of Irion County, Texas, continued in 1998 as the Company
successfully completed 19 producing wells. During 1998, Field production peaked
at 3,360 BOPD. Anadarko owns an 89% working interest in the Ketchum Mountain
Unit and a 97% working interest in the extension area.
Permian Basin activity during 1998 was also focused on infill drilling and
secondary recovery operations at the Company's TXL North and TXL South Units in
Ector County, Texas. In 1998, a total of 47 wells were drilled in the two units,
which had combined gross production at year-end of 5,100 BOPD (3,250 BOPD net).
Anadarko has a 79% working interest in the TXL North Unit and a 66% working
interest in the TXL South Unit.

EAST TEXAS Anadarko continued to build on its success in the Bossier Sand Play
in 1998, with the completion of 36 wells in the Dew West and Mimms Creek Fields
of Freestone County, Texas. Year-end gross production from the Bossier Play, the
Company's third largest onshore gas field, was 50 MMcf/d of gas, compared to an
average of 5.4 MMcf/d of gas in 1997. The Company owns approximately 26,000
gross acres in the Bossier Sand Play and had an average of five rigs running in
1998.
GULF COAST Along the Gulf Coast of Texas, Anadarko has been active in several
exploration plays. Using 3-D seismic data and advanced processing techniques,
the Company is evaluating the exploration potential of several plays.
In the Wilcox Play of Jim Hogg County, Texas, Anadarko has a 33% working
interest in about 28,000 gross undeveloped acres.
The Company has an interest in approximately 2,000 gross undeveloped acres
held by production in the Hartburg Play, located in Orange County, Texas.
Anadarko's working interest varies from 25%-50%.
Along the upper Texas coast, Anadarko has been developing reserves in the
Yegua Trend since the early 1990s. The Company has an average 50% working
interest in about 12,000 gross lease acres in the Play.
COAL-BED METHANE Anadarko is developing coal-bed methane acreage in the Helper
Field, located in Carbon County, Utah. During 1998, Anadarko drilled 12 wells on
state and private leases, increasing the number of producing wells to 39. The
Helper Field was producing 7.6 MMcf/d (gross) at year-end with gas production
continuing to increase. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is near
completion on the Company's federal leases that contain 12,500 gross acres
within the Helper Field. Completion of the EIS will allow Anadarko to continue
development of the Helper Field and drill up to 60 wells over the next three
years. Anadarko has a 100% working interest in the project.
GATHERING AND PROCESSING
GAS GATHERING SYSTEMS Anadarko owns and operates five major gas gathering
systems in the nation's mid-continent area: the Antioch Gathering System in the
Southwest Antioch Field of Oklahoma; the Hemphill Gathering System, located in
Hemphill County, Texas; the Sneed System in the West Panhandle Field of Texas;
the Hugoton Gathering System in southwest Kansas; and the Dew Gathering System
in East Texas, the first phase of which was completed in 1998. The Company's
gathering systems have more than 2,500 miles of pipeline connecting about 2,000
wells and have more than 500 MMcf/d of gas gathering capacity. In addition,
Anadarko owns interests in nine other smaller gas gathering systems.
GAS PROCESSING FACILITIES The Company's last fully-owned and operated gas
processing facility, the Sneed Gas Processing Plant in the West Panhandle Field
of Texas, was closed in 1997. The Company also sold its remaining interests in
three other plants in 1997. These decisions, together with the closing of the
Company's Panther Creek Gas Processing Plant in 1996, were based upon a strategy
to take advantage of excess capacity in more modern and efficient plants owned
by third parties in the mid-continent. This strategy resulted in an increase in
NGL product recoveries due to the improved efficiency of the newer processing
facilities. Anadarko's NGLs sales volumes increased 21% in 1998 compared to
1997.

ALASKA
Anadarko is active in two geographic areas in Alaska -- the North Slope and the
Cook Inlet of south central Alaska. Overall, the Company had interests in
596,000 gross lease acres in Alaska at year-end 1998.
NORTH SLOPE Development of the Alpine Field, discovered by Anadarko and its
partner ARCO Alaska, Inc. in 1994, continued in 1998 and is about 40% complete.
Progress continued on the construction of gravel surfaces at the drilling pads
and airstrip. As a result of the project, which began in the winter of
1997-1998, personnel now remain on site year-round to conduct drilling and
development operations. Production modules are currently being built at
fabrication yards in Corpus Christi, Texas, and Nikiski on the Kenai Peninsula
of south central Alaska. The modules will be sea lifted to the North Slope this
summer with site installation scheduled for the 1999-2000 winter season.
In early 1998, one extension well at Alpine was drilled, the results of
which have not been released. In addition, the Field's first two horizontal
wells were drilled and tested. Among the many benefits of horizontal drilling
are more efficient recovery of reserves, fewer wells required for full field
development, lower project costs and minimal environmental impact. In fact,
Alpine is being developed much like an offshore field, with no roads or bridges
connecting to existing infrastructure. Operations will affect only 100 acres out
of the 40,000-acre productive limits of the Alpine Field -- or one-quarter of 1%
of the total surface area. The Company's development program for 1999 calls for
drilling 15 wells from the first of the Field's two pad locations. Anadarko owns
a 22% working interest in the ARCO Alaska-operated Alpine Field. The Alpine
Field is expected to begin producing at an initial rate of 40,000 BOPD (gross)
in mid-2000, ramping up to 70,000 BOPD (gross) in mid-2001. Anadarko and ARCO
Alaska also jointly hold six offshore lease blocks in the Beaufort Sea west of
the Alpine Field.
In August 1998, Anadarko announced an agreement with the Arctic Slope
Regional Corporation (ASRC) that gives the Company exclusive access to more
lands for exploration than any other oil company operating in the state. The
agreement, which covers the Foothills region of the state, provides Anadarko
with exploration rights to 2.2 million gross acres that ASRC has under title
currently. Additionally, the Company has exploration rights to an additional
900,000 gross acres now held by the Bureau of Land Management. From that 900,000
gross acres, ASRC will eventually claim title to about 240,000 gross acres as
part of its land selection rights under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act.
Following initial exploration work, Anadarko has the exclusive option to lease
the 2.2 million acres from ASRC and the exclusive option to acquire a lease on
the 240,000 acres when selected by ASRC. Future phases of the agreement will be
based on a work commitment by Anadarko.
In the summer of 1998, Anadarko added to its acreage position on the North
Slope by investing $8.1 million (net) to acquire 26 tracts covering 123,000
gross acres in State Lease Sale 87. The area covered by the lease sale, called
the Central Arctic State Sale Area, is located on the North Slope south of the
Alpine, Kuparuk and Prudhoe Bay Fields and east of the National Petroleum
Reserve -- Alaska (NPRA). Anadarko was the third most active bidder in the sale
and holds 20 of the tracts alone. The remaining six are held in partnership with
Petrofina Delaware, Inc.
Anadarko's Sale 87 acreage and the Alpine discovery are strategically
located near the Northeastern Planning Area of the NPRA. Anadarko and its
partners are conducting a 3-D seismic acquisition program in the NPRA in
preparation for an expected 1999 NPRA lease sale.
COOK INLET In the third quarter of 1998, Anadarko completed its first
Company-operated well in Alaska. The Lone Creek No. 1 well on the Moquawkie
Prospect flowed 10.6 MMcf/d of gas at a flowing tubing pressure of 925 psi from
53 feet of perforations at a depth of approximately 2,400 feet. This represents
one of the best shallow gas tests in the area. Located about 40 miles west of
Anchorage on lands leased from Cook Inlet Region, Inc., the well also
encountered several other possible gas zones, which total about 180 feet of
additional net pay, but have not yet been tested. Anadarko and ARCO Alaska each
have a 50% interest in the discovery. The venture is reviewing development plans
for the Lone Creek discovery, which may include additional drilling and
installation of facilities necessary to produce this and subsequent wells. The
well is located within five miles of a 16-inch natural gas pipeline. The
partners also hold approximately 56,000 gross leasehold acres in the Moquawkie
Prospect area and 178,000 gross acres total in the Cook Inlet area, which
includes an option on 16,000 gross acres not yet exercised.

OFFSHORE
OVERVIEW At year-end 1998, about 22% of the Company's proved reserves were
located offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. Production volumes from these properties
were 176 MMcf/d of gas and 6,500 BOPD at year-end 1998. The Company's production
from the Gulf of Mexico increased during 1998 as new discoveries were brought on
line and enhancements were made to producing platforms. At year-end 1998,
Anadarko owned an average 50% working interest in 126 lease blocks representing
182,000 gross (56,000 net) acres in developed properties and 514,000 gross
(276,000 net) acres in undeveloped properties offshore.
The accompanying map illustrates the Company's undeveloped and developed
net acres, number of producing net wells and other data relevant to its offshore
properties.
EXPLORATION Anadarko is active in exploration projects in conventional,
sub-salt and deepwater plays in the Gulf of Mexico. In 1998, the Company drilled
five offshore exploration wells (two sub-salt and three conventional).
Major sub-salt discoveries were announced at Anadarko's Tanzanite and
Hickory prospects offshore Louisiana. After being drilled to 14,350 feet, the
Tanzanite No. 1 discovery well encountered a 600-foot sand with 427 feet of
continuous hydrocarbon pay. The reservoir rock is of high quality with excellent
porosity and permeability. During testing operations, Tanzanite flowed 21,917
BOPD and 29.7 MMcf/d of gas, a Company record. Additional drilling and refined
seismic imaging will be required to determine the true areal extent of the main
reservoir and the extent of other pay zones. Construction and design work for a
platform is now underway, with first production slated to begin in the third
quarter of 2000. Anadarko has a 100% working interest in the Tanzanite discovery
which is located on Eugene Island Block 346, about 75 miles offshore Louisiana
in 314 feet of water. One development well and one wildcat well at Tanzanite are
currently drilling.
In the fourth quarter of 1998, Anadarko announced a discovery at Hickory,
its second success of the year in the sub-salt play. Located on Grand Isle Block
116 in 320 feet of water, Hickory encountered 300 feet of net hydrocarbon pay in
multiple sands. On its way to a total depth of 21,600 feet, the discovery well
penetrated an 8,000-foot section of salt, which is believed to be the thickest
ever drilled in the Gulf of Mexico. A development well was spudded from the same
surface location in November 1998 to help develop the reservoir. Design work has
already started on a platform in anticipation of possible first production in
the second half of 2000. Anadarko serves as operator of Grand Isle Blocks 110,
111 and 116 and has a 50% working interest. Partners include Shell Oil Company
(37.5%) and Ocean Energy (12.5%).
During 1999, Anadarko expects to drill up to four exploration wells on its
sub-salt prospects in the Gulf of Mexico. The Company is completing several
imaging projects that will help determine its next sub-salt drilling prospects.
Anadarko has identified about 20 sub-salt prospects across its holdings in the
Gulf.
Conventional offshore exploration projects in 1998 included the A-7 well at
East Cameron 157, which discovered new reserves that were fault-separated from
the main field. The A-7 well was completed at a rate of 40 MMcf/d of gas and
1,100 barrels of condensate per day (BCPD). Anadarko has a 100% working interest
in the Block which is located off the Louisiana coast.
At High Island Block 376, the B-5 extended-reach well was completed and
placed on production at 4 MMcf/d of gas. The completion of a compressor package
at the platform during the fourth quarter more than doubled the Company's output
to 21 MMcf/d of gas. Anadarko owns a 100% working interest in the B-5 well and a
33.8% working interest in the Field.

11
In addition to offshore properties in the conventional and sub-salt plays,
Anadarko also has working interests in 34 deepwater lease blocks, 26 of which
are Company-operated. Seismic data were acquired over several of the deepwater
blocks during 1998. Lease blocks in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico are held for
10-year terms and can be easily deferred for later drilling.
DEVELOPMENT Anadarko's 1998 work program combined projects to bring recent
discoveries on line and enhance production from existing platforms.
The Agate Field, discovered in 1996 by Anadarko and its partner Phillips
Petroleum (operator), was placed on production in the third quarter of 1998.
Field production is from one sub-sea well, located at Ship Shoal Block 361 about
70 miles offshore Louisiana. The well was tied back to the Mahogany platform,
which is six miles to the east, through a sub-sea completion. Average gross
production from Agate in 1998 was 1,940 BOPD and 12 MMcf/d of gas. Anadarko has
a 50% working interest in the Block. Additional development wells are being
evaluated.
At the Phillips-operated Mahogany platform (Ship Shoal Block 349/359), the
A-4, A-5 and A-7 wells were completed in the main pay zone ("P" sand) during
1998. Year-end gross production from the platform was 26 MMcf/d of gas and
13,700 BOPD. Anadarko has a 37.5% working interest in the Mahogany Field.
Much of the 1998 work program in the Gulf of Mexico centered on improving
production from existing platforms, particularly at the Matagorda Island 622/623
Complex, located offshore Texas. Construction of a new pipeline that connects
the platform to the El Paso Energy-operated Tomcat system was completed. The
seven-mile tie-in alleviated a major production bottleneck and increased volumes
from 270 MMcf/d of gas just prior to the start of the pipeline project to a
current rate of 360 MMcf/d of gas. During 1998, the C-2 sidetrack well was
completed at the Complex and placed on production at 65.6 MMcf/d of gas and 453
BCPD. Anadarko owns a 37.5% interest in the Amoco-operated Complex.

PROPERTIES AND ACTIVITIES -- INTERNATIONAL
OVERVIEW Over the past few years, Anadarko has devoted a larger portion of its
capital expenditures to international exploration ventures. Development work is
underway in Algeria and exploration activities are being conducted in Eritrea,
the North Atlantic Margin and Tunisia. Studies are also underway in other
prospective areas around the world. In May 1998, the Company's first production
from Algeria commenced. See Additional Factors Affecting Business -- Foreign
Operations Risk under Item 7 of this Form 10-K.
ALGERIA Anadarko's largest international venture involves development of liquid
hydrocarbons discovered by the Company in Algeria's Sahara Desert. Since 1989,
Anadarko has drilled 40 successful wells (13 exploration and 27 delineation) and
has submitted Commerciality Reports for 11 fields in Algeria. The Company has
booked proved reserves of 245 MMBbls (net) of crude oil as of year-end 1998, up
33% from 184 MMBbls (net) at year-end 1997. The Company estimates that more than
2.0 billion barrels (gross) of crude oil and condensate have been discovered to
date on its portion of the lease area.
As of December 31, 1998, the Company's cumulative net investment in Algeria
was $557 million (including capitalized interest and overhead), about $156
million of which was spent in 1998. Anadarko plans to invest about $99 million
in Algeria in 1999. At the end of 1998, the Company had 3.4 million gross (1.3
million net) acres in Algeria.
The accompanying map illustrates the Company's developed and undeveloped
acreage, number of productive wells and other data relevant to its properties in
Algeria.
Anadarko's interest in the production sharing agreement (PSA) relating to
the four company-operated blocks is 50% before participation at the exploitation
stage by SONATRACH, the national oil and gas enterprise of Algeria. The Company
has two partners, each with a 25% interest in the Algerian venture, also prior
to participation by SONATRACH; they are LASMO Oil (Algeria) Limited, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of LASMO plc, and Maersk Olie Algeriet AS, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Maersk Olie Og Gas AS, a company in the Danish A.P.
Moeller group. Under the terms of the PSA, liquid hydrocarbons that are
discovered, developed and produced will be shared by SONATRACH, Anadarko and its
two partners. SONATRACH is responsible for 51% of development and production
costs. In addition, Anadarko and its partners are entitled to recover a portion
of exploration costs out of production in the exploitation phase. SONATRACH is
the beneficial owner of 9.9% of Anadarko's outstanding common stock.
During 1998, Anadarko and its partners commenced first oil production and
recorded the highest level of drilling activity since work began in the program
in 1989. First oil production began on May 4, 1998 from Stage I facilities at
the HBNS Field. Oil produced from the HBNS Field is sold as Saharan Blend, a
very high quality crude that provides refiners with large quantities of premium
products like jet and diesel fuel. From May to November 1998, production from
the HBNS Field averaged 18,700 BOPD (gross). In December 1998, production from
the HBNS Field increased to an average of 38,000 BOPD (gross) with the start-up
of SONATRACH's new 30-inch oil pipeline. In 1999, Anadarko expects gross
production to average about 60,000 BOPD. During 1998, about 1.4 MMBbls of oil
were produced net to Anadarko. Two cargoes of crude were lifted in 1998 and sold
to major refiners in southern Europe. Other partners lifted separate cargoes.
Anadarko expects to lift between eight to ten cargoes of crude oil from its
operations in Algeria during 1999. In late 1998, bids were received for
construction of Stage II production facilities at the HBNS Field. By the end of
1999's first quarter, Anadarko expects to award an Engineering, Procurement and
Construction contract for the Stage II facilities, which will expand production
from the HBNS Field to 135,000 BOPD (gross) beginning in 2001.
In 1998, Anadarko and its partners completed 21 exploration, delineation
and development wells on Blocks 404 and 208. By comparison, the group drilled 33
total wells in the project between 1991-1997. Up to five drilling rigs were
active in field delineation and development drilling during 1998. Of the 21
wells drilled in 1998, 18 were successful. One exploration well was drilled and
was successful -- the El Merk North (EMN) Field discovery, which was announced
in March 1998. The EMN No. 1 well encountered 36 meters (119 feet) of net pay in
the Triassic formation and flowed 21,395 BOPD, the highest flow rate achieved by
Anadarko and its partners in Algeria. A deeper gas and condensate zone was also
successfully tested. In addition, ten delineation wells were drilled in 1998
with eight successful. Ten development wells also were drilled with nine
successful.

Political unrest continues in Algeria. Anadarko is closely monitoring the
situation and has taken reasonable and prudent steps to ensure the safety of
employees and the security of its facilities in the remote regions of the Sahara
Desert. Anadarko is presently unable to predict with certainty any effect the
current situation may have on activity planned for 1999 and beyond. However, the
situation has not had any material effect to date on the Company's operations.
ERITREA In September 1995, Anadarko signed an agreement with the government of
the State of Eritrea for offshore exploration on a 6.7 million-acre area in the
Red Sea, known as the Zula Block. This acreage position was expanded in late
1997 with the signing of a second PSA for 2.3 million acres. This area is called
the Edd Block and is contiguous with the Zula Block, giving Anadarko exploration
rights on 9.0 million gross acres in Eritrea. In 1998, Anadarko and its partners
drilled two unsuccessful exploration wells on the Zula Block. The venture's
third exploration well began drilling on the Edd Block in January 1999. Anadarko
serves as operator and holds a 50% interest in both the Zula and Edd
concessions. The remaining interests are held by Agip Eritrea B. V. with 30% and
Burlington Resources Eritrea Limited with 20%.
Border disputes between Eritrea and Ethiopia continue. The Company is
closely monitoring this situation and has taken reasonable and prudent steps to
ensure the safety of employees and the security of its facilities in Eritrea.
Anadarko presently is unable to predict with certainty any effect the current
situation may have on activity planned for 1999 and beyond. However, the
situation has not had any material effect to date on the Company's operations.
NORTH ATLANTIC MARGIN During 1997, Anadarko established an exploration presence
in the North Atlantic Margin, located north and west of Scotland and offshore
Ireland. Through two separate bid rounds, Anadarko and its partners were awarded
five exploration areas totaling about 1.2 million gross acres.
Anadarko has been studying the exploration potential in this area since
1995. During 1997, Anadarko and its partners were awarded three tranches in the
United Kingdom's 17th Bid Round and two exploration areas in the Irish Bid
Round. Anadarko will participate in its first exploration well on Tranche 61
which is expected to begin drilling in the first half of 1999. Anadarko has a
7.5% interest in the well. Anadarko and its partners have a significant amount
of 2-D and 3-D seismic data and expect to drill several exploration targets over
the next four years. Anadarko has an average interest of 30% in the exploration
areas.
TUNISIA In 1997, Anadarko became a 50% partner (prior to a back-in by the
Tunisian government) in Agip S.p.A.'s Jenein Nord Block -- a 384,000 gross acre
exploration area in Tunisia near the Algerian border. The Jenein Nord Block is
contiguous with the Company's Blocks 401a and 402a in Algeria (operated by BHP
Algeria). Several exploration leads have been identified and exploration
drilling is expected to begin in mid-1999.
PERU The Company has decided not to continue its exploration efforts on Block
84 in Peru at this time. Anadarko served as operator of the exploration venture
with a 100% interest.
JORDAN Anadarko has decided not to pursue exploration efforts on the Safawi
Block in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Anadarko operated the exploration
venture with a 50% interest.

DRILLING PROGRAMS
The Company's 1998 drilling program again focused on known oil and gas
provinces onshore and offshore North America and Algeria. Onshore activity was
concentrated in Kansas, Oklahoma, the Texas panhandle, the Permian Basin of west
Texas, Alaska and Utah. Exploration activity consisted of 25 wells onshore in
the U.S., three wells offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, 16 wells in Algeria, and
one well in Eritrea. Development activity included 341 wells onshore in the
U.S., six wells offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and 10 wells in Algeria.

this Form 10-K.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1998, the Company employed 1,476 persons. The Company's
employees are not represented by any union. Relations between the Company and
its employees are considered to be satisfactory and the Company has had no work
stoppages or strikes.
REGULATORY AND LEGISLATIVE DEVELOPMENTS
See Regulatory Matters under Item 7 of this Form 10-K.
ADDITIONAL FACTORS AFFECTING BUSINESS
See Additional Factors Affecting Business under Item 7 of this Form 10-K.
TITLE TO PROPERTIES
As is customary in the oil and gas industry, only a preliminary title
examination is conducted at the time properties believed to be suitable for
drilling operations are acquired by the Company. Prior to the commencement of
drilling operations, a thorough title examination of the drill site tract is
conducted and curative work is performed with respect to significant defects, if
any, before proceeding with operations. A thorough title examination has been
performed with respect to substantially all leasehold producing properties owned
by the Company. Anadarko believes the title to its leasehold properties is good
and defensible in accordance with standards generally acceptable in the oil and
gas industry subject to such exceptions which, in the opinion of counsel
employed in the various areas in which the Company has conducted exploration
activities, are not so material as to detract substantially from the use of such
properties. The leasehold properties owned by the Company are subject to
royalty, overriding royalty and other outstanding interests customary in the
industry. The properties may be subject to burdens such as liens incident to
operating agreements and current taxes, development obligations under oil and
gas leases and other encumbrances, easements and restrictions. Anadarko does not
believe any of these burdens will materially interfere with its use of these
properties.

RATIOS OF EARNINGS TO COMBINED FIXED CHARGES AND PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS
The Company's ratios of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred
stock dividends for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 were 0.05,
3.04 and 3.34, respectively. As a result of the Company's net loss in 1998, the
Company's earnings did not cover combined fixed charges and preferred stock
dividends by $101 million in 1998. These ratios were computed by dividing
earnings by fixed charges. For this purpose, earnings include income before
income taxes and fixed charges. Fixed charges include interest and amortization
of debt expenses, the estimated interest component of rentals and preferred
stock dividends. See Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations under Item 7 of this Form 10-K.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
See information appearing under Item 1 of this Form 10-K.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
KANSAS AD VALOREM TAX The Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 allowed a "severance,
production or similar" tax to be included as an add-on, over and above the
maximum lawful price for natural gas. Based on the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) ruling that the Kansas ad valorem tax was such a tax, the
Company collected the Kansas ad valorem tax.
Background of Present Litigation FERC's ruling regarding the ability of
producers to collect the Kansas ad valorem tax was appealed to the United States
Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (D.C. Circuit). The Court
held in June 1988 that FERC failed to provide a reasoned basis for its findings
and remanded the case to FERC.
Ultimately, the D.C. Circuit issued a decision on August 2, 1996 ruling
that producers must refund all Kansas ad valorem taxes collected relating to
production since October 1983. The Company filed a petition for writ of
certiorari with the Supreme Court. That petition was denied on May 12, 1997.
Anadarko estimates that the maximum amount of principal and interest at
issue which has not been paid to date, assuming that the October 1983 effective
date remains in effect, is about $42.7 million (pretax) as of December 31, 1998.
FERC Proceedings Depending on future FERC orders, the Company could be required
to pay all or part of the amounts claimed by all pipelines (which might include
PanEnergy) pending further potential review by FERC or the courts.
PanEnergy Litigation On May 13, 1997, the Company filed a lawsuit in the
Federal District Court for the Southern District of Texas against PanEnergy
seeking declaration that pursuant to prior agreements Anadarko is not required
to issue refunds to PanEnergy for the principal amount of $14 million (pretax)
and, if the petition for adjustment is denied in its entirety by FERC with
respect to PanEnergy refunds, interest in an amount of $27.1 million (pretax) as
of December 31, 1998. The Company also seeks from PanEnergy the return of
$816,000 of the $830,000 (pretax) charged against income in 1993 and 1994. In
response to a motion filed by PanEnergy, the United States District Court issued
an order on March 17, 1998 staying the litigation, pending the exercise by FERC
of its regulatory jurisdiction.
FERC Order of October 13, 1998 On October 13, 1998, FERC issued a final order
on Anadarko's complaint. The order declares that Anadarko Production Company
(now an affiliate of Duke Energy) is responsible as first seller for making
refunds of Kansas ad valorem tax reimbursements collected from 1983 through
August 1, 1985. The Company estimates this amount to be as much as $26 million.
The Company is responsible to make refunds for reimbursements it collected as
first seller from August 1, 1985 through 1988. The Company estimates this amount
to be as much as $16 million. The FERC order states that whether Anadarko
Production Company or the Company is entitled to reimbursement from another
party for the refunds ordered is a matter to be pursued in an appropriate
judicial forum. On January 15, 1999, FERC issued an order denying a request for
rehearing filed by PanEnergy and reaffirming the October 1998 order. FERC
18
19
may, in the near future, issue an order based upon the above allocation
regarding when the refunds must be paid and the specific refund amount. The
issue of reimbursement will now be pursued in U.S. District Court.
Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) Proceeding On April 30, 1998, the Company's
subsidiary, Anadarko Gathering Company (AGC), filed a petition with the KCC to
clarify AGC's rights and obligations, if any, related to the payment by first
sellers of Kansas ad valorem tax refunds. The refunds at issue relate to sales
made by Anadarko Production Company, a PanEnergy affiliate, through facilities
known as the Cimmaron River System during the time period from 1983 to 1988. AGC
purchased the Cimmaron River System from Centana, the successor of Anadarko
Production Company in 1995. The petition, among other things, asks the KCC to
determine whether AGC or Anadarko Production Company is responsible for the
payment or distribution of refunds received from first sellers to Anadarko
Production Company's former customers and requests guidance concerning the
disposition of refunds received that are attributable to sales made to Anadarko
Production Company customers that did not reimburse Anadarko Production Company
for Kansas ad valorem taxes during the relevant time periods. This matter is
presently being pursued before the KCC. The KCC staff is expected to issue a
recommendation upon Anadarko's petition in this matter by March 15, 1999.
Anadarko's net income for 1997 included a $1.8 million charge (pretax)
related to the Kansas ad valorem tax refunds. This charge reflects all principal
and interest which may be due at the conclusion of all regulatory proceedings
and litigation to parties other than PanEnergy. The Company is unable at this
time to predict the final outcome of this matter and no provision for liability
(excluding the amounts recorded in 1993, 1994 and 1997) has been made.
OTHER The Company is subject to other legal proceedings, claims and liabilities
which arise in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of the
Company, the liability with respect to these actions will not have a material
effect on the Company.

NET INCOME AND REVENUES For 1998, Anadarko reported a net loss available to
common stockholders of $49.3 million, or 41 cents per share (diluted), compared
to 1997 net income of $107.3 million, or 89 cents per share (diluted). Revenues
for 1998 were down 17% to $560.3 million compared to 1997 revenues of $675.1
million. The decrease in revenues and net income was due to the steep decline in
crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) prices, higher operating
expenses, increased administrative and general costs, higher interest expense,
and preferred stock dividends. Anadarko's 1998 performance was also adversely
affected by a non-cash charge during the fourth quarter of $70 million before
taxes ($45 million after taxes) to impair all exploration activity in Peru and
Jordan, as well as two dry holes drilled on the Zula Block in Eritrea. Excluding
the impairment, Anadarko's net loss for 1998 was $4.7 million, or 4 cents per
share (diluted).
Anadarko's 1996 net income was $100.7 million (85 cents per share), which
included a gain of $19.4 million ($12.3 million after income taxes) on the sale
of the Company's Indonesia interests and was partially offset by provisions for
impairments of other international properties of $5.4 million ($3.4 million
after income taxes). Revenues for 1996 were $570.1 million. The increases in
revenues and net income in 1997 compared to 1996 reflect higher production
volumes of crude oil, natural gas and NGLs coupled with higher natural gas
prices.

COSTS AND EXPENSES During 1998, Anadarko's costs and expenses (excluding the
impairment) increased 6% over 1997 primarily due to increased levels of
activity. Anadarko pays close attention to costs, focusing on cost controls,
cost savings plans and the application of new technology to field production
operations. During 1998, costs and expenses were up largely due to these
reasons:
(1) Operating expenses increased $5.8 million (4%) due to costs associated
with the commencement of production in Algeria and the acquisition of
oil and gas producing properties in the U.S.
(2) Administrative and general expenses were up $21.3 million (29%),
reflecting increased costs associated with first production from
Algeria, expenses related to reducing future administrative and general
costs, and other expenses associated with the Company's growing
workforce.
(3) Depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense rose $5.7
million (3%) due primarily to the production volume increase.
22
23
Costs and expenses for 1997 increased 26% over 1996, including the effect
of the 1996 sale of the Company's Indonesia interests. In addition, costs and
expenses were impacted by the following factors:
(1) Operating expenses increased $39.4 million (34%) due primarily to
higher levels of drilling activity and revised NGLs contracts that
provide for processing through third-parties.
(2) Administrative and general expenses were up $5.9 million (9%) due to
higher costs associated with the Company's growing workforce.
(3) DD&A expense was up $31.6 million (19%) due primarily to the 18%
increase in U.S. production volumes from core areas of operation
compared to 1996.

Net interest expense $ 57.7 $ 41.0 $ 39.0
------ ------ ------
INTEREST EXPENSE Anadarko's gross interest expense has increased over the past
three years due primarily to higher levels of borrowings for capital
expenditures, including producing property acquisitions. Gross interest expense
in 1998 was up 33% compared to 1997 primarily due to higher average borrowings
in 1998. Gross interest expense in 1997 increased 11% compared to 1996 also
primarily due to higher average borrowings during 1997. See Liquidity and
Long-term Debt.

NATURAL GAS Anadarko's natural gas production volumes in 1998 were essentially
level with 1997. Anadarko's natural gas volumes in 1997 increased 8% compared to
1996 production primarily due to increased drilling activity in its core U.S.
onshore and offshore areas of operations. The Company's average wellhead gas
price in 1998 was down 17% from 1997. Anadarko's average wellhead gas price in
1997 had increased 8% from 1996.

24
Natural gas markets were volatile in 1998, with the Company's average
monthly price fluctuating from a high of $2.16 per Mcf in January 1998 to a low
of $1.55 per Mcf in September 1998. Prices for natural gas weakened
significantly in 1998 due to a lack of cold weather in major population centers
in the northeast. Natural gas markets were also volatile in 1997, with the
Company's average monthly price fluctuating from a high of $3.84 per Mcf in
January 1997 to a low of $1.61 per Mcf in March 1997. Anadarko employs marketing
strategies to help manage production and sales volumes and mitigate the effect
of the price volatility that is likely to continue. See Marketing
Strategies -- Use of Derivatives.

CRUDE OIL, CONDENSATE AND NATURAL GAS LIQUIDS Due primarily to initial
production from Algeria and an acquisition of producing properties in central
Oklahoma, Anadarko's crude oil and condensate production in 1998 increased 22%
from 1997. The 1997 oil and condensate production volumes increased 36% compared
to 1996, due primarily to increased drilling activity in the Permian Basin and
first production from the Mahogany Field.
Anadarko's average crude oil price for 1998 decreased 36% compared to 1997.
Crude oil prices weakened significantly in 1998 due to several factors,
including: continued lack of cold weather, higher storage inventories and
perceptions of the impact of increased quotas from the Organization of Petroleum
Exporting Countries (OPEC). Crude oil prices in 1997 were down 11% compared to
1996.
Generally, the Company's oil production is sold on a monthly basis as it is
produced. Production of oil usually is not affected by seasonal swings in demand
or in market prices.
The Company's NGLs sales volumes in 1998 increased 21% compared to 1997
primarily due to the restructuring of processing agreements in late 1997. NGLs
production volumes in 1997 increased 56% compared to 1996 volumes. The 1998
average NGLs price was down 30% compared to 1997. By comparison, 1997 NGLs
prices were 13% below 1996.

MARKETING STRATEGIES
NATURAL GAS The U.S. natural gas market has grown significantly throughout the
last 10 years and management believes continued growth to be likely. Natural gas
prices have been extremely volatile and are expected to continue to be so.
Management believes the Company's excellent portfolio of exploration and
development prospects should position Anadarko to continue to participate in
this growth. Anadarko's wholly-owned marketing subsidiary -- Anadarko Energy
Services Company (AES) -- is a full-service marketing company offering supply
assurance, competitive pricing and services tailored to its customers' needs.
Most of the Company's gas production is sold through AES. AES also purchases and
sells third-party gas in the Company's market areas.
AES sells natural gas under a variety of contracts and may also receive a
service fee related to the level of reliability and service required by the
customer. AES has expanded its marketing capabilities to move larger volumes of
gas into and out of the "daily" gas market to take advantage of any price
volatility. Included in this strategy is the use of leased natural gas storage
facilities and various hedging strategies to better manage price risk associated
with natural gas sales. See Use of Derivatives.
CRUDE OIL AND CONDENSATE Anadarko's revenues are derived from production in the
U.S. and Algeria. Presently, most of the Company's U.S. crude oil production is
sold on 30-day "evergreen" contracts with prices based on postings plus a
premium. Initial production from the HBNS Field in Algeria began in May 1998.
Oil from the HBNS Field is lifted by tanker load and sold as Saharan Blend to
customers primarily in the Mediterranean area. Saharan Blend is a very high
quality crude that provides refiners with large quantities of premium products
like high quality jet and diesel fuel. In 1998, the company lifted two cargoes
from Algeria. AES purchases and sells third-party crude oil and condensate in
the Company's market areas.
GAS GATHERING SYSTEMS AND PROCESSING PLANTS Anadarko's investment in gas
gathering operations allows the Company to better manage its gas production,
improve ultimate recovery of reserves, enhance the value of reserves and expand
marketing opportunities. The Company has invested $119 million to build or
acquire gas gathering systems over the last five years. Anadarko owns and
operates five major gas gathering systems in the Company's core producing areas.
The Company's overall gas gathering capacity is more than 500 MMcf/d and serves
about 2,000 wells. Approximately 80% of the gas flowing through these systems is
from Anadarko-operated wells.
During 1997, the Company shut down its last fully owned and operated gas
processing facility. The Company also sold its interests in three other plants
during 1997. The Company has elected to have its gas processed by third parties,
increasing the Company's net NGLs production volumes. The increased revenues
were partially offset by higher operating expenses.
USE OF DERIVATIVES Anadarko produces, purchases and sells natural gas, crude
oil, and NGLs. As a result, Anadarko's financial results can be significantly
affected by changes in these commodity prices. Anadarko uses derivative
financial instruments to hedge the Company's exposure to changes in the market
price of natural gas and crude oil, to provide methods to fix the price for
natural gas independently of the physical purchase or sale and to manage
interest rates. Commodity financial instruments also provide methods to meet
customer pricing requirements while achieving a price structure consistent with
the Company's overall pricing strategy. While commodity financial instruments
are intended to reduce the Company's exposure to declines in the market price of
natural gas and crude oil, the commodity financial instruments may also limit
Anadarko's gain from increases in the market price of natural gas and crude oil.
As a result, gains and losses on commodity financial instruments are generally
offset by similar changes in the realized price of natural gas and crude oil.
Gains and losses are recognized in revenues for the periods to which the
commodity financial instruments relate. Anadarko's commodity financial
instruments currently are comprised of futures, swaps and options contracts. See
Notes 1 and 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of
this Form 10-K.
While the volume of derivative commodity instruments utilized by the
Company to hedge its market price risk can vary during the year within the
boundaries of its established policy guidelines, the fair value of those
instruments at December 31, 1998 and 1997 was, in the judgment of the Company,
immaterial. Additionally, through the use of sensitivity analysis the Company
evaluates the potential effect that reasonably possible near term changes in the
market prices of natural gas and crude oil may have on the fair value of the
25
26
Company's derivative commodity instruments. Based upon an analysis utilizing the
actual derivative contractual volumes and assuming a 10% adverse movement in
commodity prices, the potential decrease in the fair value of the derivative
commodity instruments at December 31, 1998 and 1997 does not have a material
adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the
Company.
The Company also evaluated the potential effect that reasonably possible
near term changes in interest rates may have on the fair value of the Company's
interest rate swap agreement. Based upon an analysis utilizing the actual
interest rate in effect as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and assuming a 10%
increase in interest rates, the potential decrease in the fair value of the
derivative interest swap instrument at December 31, 1998 and 1997 does not have
a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the
Company.
OPERATING RESULTS
DRILLING ACTIVITY During 1998, Anadarko participated in a total of 402 gross
wells, including 192 oil wells, 149 gas wells and 61 dry holes. This compares to
646 gross wells (401 oil wells, 182 gas wells and 63 dry holes) in 1997 and 283
gross wells (166 oil wells, 65 gas wells and 52 dry holes) in 1996. The decline
in activity during 1998 is a direct result of lower commodity prices.
The Company's 1998 exploration and development drilling program is
discussed in Properties and Activities under Item 1 of this Form 10-K.

RESERVE REPLACEMENT Drilling activity is not the best measure of success for an
exploration and production company. Anadarko focuses on growth and
profitability. Reserve replacement is the key to growth and future profitability
depends on the cost of finding oil and gas reserves. The Company believes its
performance in both areas is excellent. For the 17th consecutive year, Anadarko
more than replaced annual production volumes with proved reserves of natural
gas, crude oil, condensate and NGLs, stated on an energy equivalent barrel (EEB)
basis.
During 1998, Anadarko's worldwide reserve replacement was 581% of total
production, which was a record 47.2 MMEEBs. The Company's worldwide reserve
replacement in 1997 was 341% of total production, which was 44.3 MMEEBs. The
Company's worldwide reserve replacement in 1996 was 299% of total production.
Over the last five years, the Company's annual reserve replacement has averaged
359% of annual production volumes.
Anadarko continues to increase its energy reserves in the U.S. while the
nation's energy reserves have been declining over the past ten years. In 1998,
the Company replaced 462% of its U.S. production volumes with U.S. reserves.
This compares to a U.S. reserve replacement of 206% of production volumes in
1997. The
26
27
Company's U.S. reserve replacement for the five-year period 1994-1998 was 249%
of production. By comparison, the most recent published U.S. industry average
(1993-1997) was 99%. (Source: Department of Energy) Anadarko's U.S. reserve
replacement performance for the same period 1993-1997 was 183% of production.
Industry data for 1998 are not yet available.
COST OF FINDING Cost of finding results in any one year can be misleading due
to the long lead times associated with exploration and development. A better
measure of cost of finding performance is over a five-year period. Anadarko has
consistently outperformed the industry in average finding costs. For the period
1994-1998, Anadarko's worldwide finding cost was $3.17 per EEB. The Company's
U.S. finding performance for the same period was $3.61 per EEB. Industry data
for 1998 are not yet available. For comparison purposes, the most recent
published five-year average (1993-1997) for the industry shows worldwide finding
cost was $3.99 per EEB and U.S. finding cost was $5.05 per EEB. (Source: Arthur
Andersen and J.S. Herold) For the same five-year period of 1993-1997, Anadarko's
worldwide finding cost was $3.28 per EEB and its U.S. finding cost was $3.88 per
EEB. The Company's low finding costs are due to the success of Anadarko's
exploration programs.
For 1998, Anadarko's worldwide finding cost was $3.13 per EEB compared to
$4.28 per EEB in 1997 and $2.76 per EEB in 1996. Anadarko's U.S. finding cost
for 1998 was $3.11 per EEB compared to $4.79 per EEB in 1997 and $3.23 per EEB
in 1996.
PROVED RESERVES At the end of 1998, Anadarko's proved reserves were 935.1
MMEEBs compared to 708.0 MMEEBs at year-end 1997 and 601.3 MMEEBs at year-end
1996. Reserves increased by 32% in 1998 compared to 1997 primarily due to
exploration and development drilling in both the U.S. and overseas and producing
property acquisitions. Anadarko's proved reserves have grown by 78% over the
past three years, primarily as a result of successful exploration projects in
Algeria, the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska, as well as successful exploitation and
development drilling programs in major domestic fields in core areas onshore and
offshore and producing property acquisitions.
The Company's proved natural gas reserves at year-end 1998 were 2.65
trillion cubic feet (Tcf) compared to 1.73 Tcf at year-end 1997 and 1.82 Tcf at
year-end 1996. Anadarko's proved U.S. gas reserves have increased 44% since
year-end 1995, reflecting two major discoveries in the Gulf of Mexico's sub-salt
trend and continued development activity onshore U.S. Anadarko's crude oil,
condensate and NGLs reserves at year-end 1998 increased 18% to 494.0 million
barrels (MMBbls) compared to 419.7 MMBbls at year-end 1997 and 297.8 MMBbls at
year-end 1996. Crude oil reserves have risen by 125% over the last three years
primarily due to large discoveries in Algeria, the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska.
Crude oil, condensate and NGLs reserves comprise 53% of the Company's proved
reserves at year-end 1998 compared to about 59% at year-end 1997 and 50% at
year-end 1996.
The Company emphasizes that the volumes of reserves are estimates which, by
their nature, are subject to revision. The estimates are made using all
available geologic and reservoir data as well as production performance data.
These estimates are reviewed annually and revised, either upward or downward, as
warranted by additional performance data.
At December 31, 1998, the present value (discounted at 10%) of future net
revenues from Anadarko's proved reserves was $3.1 billion, before income taxes,
and was $2.2 billion, after income taxes, (stated in accordance with the
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and Financial Accounting
Standards Board). The 1998 estimated present value of future net revenues, after
income taxes, increased 10% compared to 1997 primarily due to additions of
proved reserves related to successful exploration and development drilling
worldwide, partially offset by significantly lower natural gas and crude oil
prices at year-end 1998. See Supplemental Information on Oil and Gas Exploration
and Production Activities in the Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8
of this Form 10-K.
The present value of future net revenues does not purport to be an estimate
of the fair market value of Anadarko's proved reserves. An estimate of fair
value would also take into account, among other things, anticipated changes in
future prices and costs, the expected recovery of reserves in excess of proved
reserves, and a discount factor more representative of the time value of money
and the risks inherent in producing oil and gas.
27
28
ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
The Company's strategy also includes an active asset acquisition and
divestiture program. During 1996-1998, Anadarko acquired through purchases and
trades 47.8 MMEEBs of proved reserves for $180 million. During the same time
period, the Company sold properties, either as a strategic exit or by asset
rationalization in existing core areas, with proceeds totaling $52 million.
Reserves associated with these sales and trades were 19.7 MMEEBs.
In 1998, Anadarko acquired reserves of 38.7 MMEEBs in several transactions
totaling $143 million. The largest acquisition was a package of working
interests in five oil and gas fields in the Anadarko Basin of central Oklahoma,
a core operating area of the Company for 20 years, which was purchased from OXY
USA, Inc. for $118 million. The five oil and gas fields cover 37,000 gross acres
with 370 producing and injection wells. Anadarko's 1998 net production from
these fields was about 2.6 MBbls/d and 5.4 MMcf/d of gas. The acquisition also
included an interest in a 120-mile, eight-inch diameter pipeline that delivers
CO(2) to the fields and primarily serves third parties.
In 1997, acquisitions of producing properties totaled $31.0 million and 8.0
MMEEBs. The largest acquisition was a package of properties in the West
Panhandle Field of Texas for $18.5 million, which accounted for 4.2 MMEEBs of
proved reserves. This purchase provided the Company producing properties with
significant development potential as well as settling a disputed claim on
revenues. During 1997, Anadarko sold reserves of about 1 MMEEBs in several
transactions with sales proceeds totaling $6.2 million. The largest component
was the sale of the Company's Norden Ltd. Partnership in Colorado in late 1997
for $5.8 million.
During 1996, Anadarko sold reserves of 18.7 MMEEBs, of which 17.7 MMEEBs
were attributed to the Company's interests in Indonesia. Total proceeds from
divestitures in 1996 amounted to $41 million. In 1996, acquisitions of producing
properties totaled $5.3 million and 1.1 MMEEBs. The largest acquisition was a
package of properties in the Oklahoma panhandle portion of the Hugoton
Embayment.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Under the full cost method of accounting, a non-cash charge to earnings
related to the carrying value of the Company's oil and gas properties on a
country-by-country basis may be required when prices are low. Whether the
Company will be required to take such a charge depends on the prices for crude
oil and natural gas at the end of any quarter, as well as the effect of both
capital expenditures and changes to proved reserves during that quarter. If a
non-cash charge were required, it would reduce earnings for the quarter, which
would result in lower DD&A expense in future periods.
Prices for crude oil and natural gas were significantly lower at year-end
1998 compared to year-end 1997. Since the end of 1998, gas prices have continued
to fall. If the current pricing environment continues or worsens, the Company
may be required to take a non-cash charge against earnings during the first
quarter of 1999.

REGULATORY MATTERS
ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY The Company's oil and gas operations and properties
are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations relating
to environmental protection of most oil and gas projects from commencement to
abandonment. These laws and regulations govern, among other things, the amounts
and types of substances and materials that may be released into the environment,
the issuance of permits in connection with exploration, drilling and production
activities, the release of emissions to the atmosphere, discharge and
disposition of generated waste materials, offshore oil and gas operations, the
reclamation and abandonment of well and facility sites and the remediation of
contaminated sites. In addition, these laws and regulations may impose
substantial liabilities for the Company's failure to comply with them or for any
contamination resulting from the Company's operations.
Anadarko takes the issue of environmental stewardship very seriously and
works diligently to comply with applicable environmental and safety rules and
regulations. Compliance with such laws and regulations has not had a material
effect on the Company's operations or financial condition in the past. However,
because environmental laws and regulations are becoming increasingly more
stringent, there can be no assurances that such laws and regulations or any
environmental law or regulation enacted in the future will not have a material
effect on the Company's operations or financial condition.
For a description of certain environmental proceedings in which the Company
is involved, see Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under
Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
OTHER Regulatory agencies in certain states and countries have authority to
issue permits for seismic exploration and the drilling of wells, regulate well
spacing, prevent the waste of oil and gas resources through proration and
regulate environmental matters.
Operations conducted by the Company on federal oil and gas leases must
comply with numerous regulatory restrictions, including various
nondiscrimination statutes. Additionally, certain operations must be conducted
pursuant to appropriate permits issued by the Bureau of Land Management and the
Minerals Management Service under the Department of Interior. In addition to the
standard permit process, federal leases and most international concessions
require a complete environmental impact assessment prior to authorizing an
exploration or development plan.

ADDITIONAL FACTORS AFFECTING BUSINESS
The Company has made in this report, and may from time to time otherwise make in
other public filings, press releases and discussions with Company management,
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 concerning
the Company's operations, economic performance and financial condition. These
forward looking statements include information concerning future production and
reserves, schedules, plans, timing of development, contributions from Algerian
properties, and those statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise
include the words "believes", "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "estimates",
"projects", "target", "goal", "plans", "objective", "should" or similar
expressions or variations on such expressions. For such statements, the Company
claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward looking statements
contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such
statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, and actual results
could differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements due
to a number of factors in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this Form
10-K and in the Company's other public filings, press releases and discussions
with Company management, including:
COMMODITY PRICING AND DEMAND Crude oil prices continue to be affected by
political developments worldwide, pricing decisions and production quotas of
OPEC and the volatile trading patterns in the commodity futures markets. Natural
gas prices also continue to be highly volatile. In periods of sharply lower
commodity prices, the Company may curtail production and capital spending
projects, as well as delay or defer drilling wells in certain areas because of
lower cash flows. Changes in crude oil and natural gas prices can impact the
Company's determination of proved reserves and the Company's calculation of the
standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to oil and gas
reserves. In addition, demand in the U.S. and worldwide may affect the Company's
level of production.
EXPLORATION AND OPERATING RISKS The Company's business is subject to all of the
operating risks normally associated with the exploration for and production of
oil and gas, including blowouts, cratering and fire, each of which could result
in damage to or destruction of oil and gas wells or formations or production
facilities and other property and injury to persons. As protection against
financial loss resulting from these operating hazards, the Company maintains
insurance coverage, including certain physical damage, employer's liability,
comprehensive general liability and worker's compensation insurance. Although
Anadarko is not fully insured against all risks in its business, the Company
believes that the coverage it maintains is customary for companies engaged in
similar operations. The occurrence of a significant event against which the
Company is not fully insured could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position.
DEVELOPMENT RISKS The Company is increasingly involved in large development
projects. Key factors that may affect the timing and outcome of such projects
include: project approvals by joint venture partners; timely issuance of permits
and licenses by host country governmental agencies; manufacturing and delivery
schedules of critical equipment; and commercial arrangements for pipelines and
related equipment to transport and market hydrocarbons. In large development
projects, these uncertainties are usually resolved, but delays and differences
between estimated timing and actual timing of critical events are commonplace
and may, therefore, affect the forward-looking statements related to large
development projects.
DOMESTIC GOVERNMENTAL RISKS The domestic operations of the Company have been,
and at times in the future may be, affected by political developments and by
federal, state and local laws and regulations such as restrictions on
production, changes in taxes, royalties and other amounts payable to governments
or governmental agencies, price or gathering rate controls and environmental
protection regulations.
FOREIGN OPERATIONS RISK The Company's operations in areas outside the U.S. are
subject to various risks inherent in foreign operations. These risks may
include, among other things, loss of revenue, property and equipment as a result
of hazards such as expropriation, war, insurrection and other political risks,
increases in taxes and governmental royalties, renegotiation of contracts with
governmental entities, changes in laws and policies governing operations of
foreign-based companies, currency restrictions and exchange rate fluctuations
and other uncertainties arising out of foreign government sovereignty over the
Company's international operations. The Company's international operations may
also be adversely affected by laws and policies of the
30
31
United States affecting foreign trade and taxation. To date, the Company's
international operations have not been materially affected by these risks.
COMPETITION The oil and gas business is highly competitive in the search for
and acquisition of reserves and in the gathering and marketing of oil and gas
production. The Company's competitors include the major oil companies,
independent oil and gas concerns, individual producers, gas marketers and major
pipeline companies, as well as participants in other industries supplying energy
and fuel to industrial, commercial and individual consumers.
YEAR 2000 Overview The Year 2000 issue relates to the inability of certain
computers and software applications to correctly recognize and process date
sensitive information for the Year 2000 and beyond. Without correction, the
computers and software applications could fail or create erroneous information.
The Company has established a Year 2000 Compliance Program focused on minimizing
disruptions of the Company's operations as a result of the millennium change.
Since this problem could affect the Company's systems, as well as the systems of
its business partners, the Program focuses on the internal systems and external
services considered most critical to Anadarko's continuing operations.
Since 1993, the Company has enhanced its scientific processing
capabilities, implemented new business systems and upgraded its network
infrastructure. These information systems were purchased from leading suppliers
of technology, most of which are representing their products to be Year 2000
compliant. The Company is in the process of testing third-party hardware and
software for compliance, which should be completed by mid-year 1999. Any
necessary replacements of non-compliant computer equipment and software are
underway and should also be completed by mid-year 1999.
Embedded system inventories for domestic and internal operations were
completed on schedule by year-end 1998. Contract instrumentation specialists are
assessing the inventories of equipment and will develop remediation and test
plans by the end of first quarter 1999. All embedded systems are expected to be
compliant by the end of the third quarter of 1999.
The Company is assessing the readiness of its business partners, including
joint-venture operators and outside-operated pipeline and processing facilities
as well as suppliers of goods and services. Interruptions in these services
could disrupt Anadarko's production and delivery of oil, gas and NGLs early in
2000. Analysis and review of key business partners is underway. Natural gas
affiliates providing gathering, transportation and processing services are being
contacted to determine Year 2000 compliance at inter-connect and sales points.
Operations personnel have begun the development of critical vendor and
commodities lists and are assessing the suppliers and availability of goods and
services in these areas. These efforts should be completed by the end of the
third quarter of 1999.
Contingency Planning The Company will develop contingency plans to provide
business continuity and to address operations, safety and environmental
concerns. This effort has begun and is expected to be complete by the end of the
third quarter of 1999.
Estimated Cost The total cost of testing, remediation and contingency planning
is expected to be approximately $5 million, which will be funded by operating
cash flows. This estimate does not include the Company's share of potential Year
2000 costs as a result of participation in partnerships in which Anadarko is not
the operator. As of December 31, 1998, the Company had spent less than $1
million for the Year 2000 project. These expenditures include costs to establish
Year 2000 testing facilities, inventory field automation equipment domestically
and internationally, and purchase Year 2000 scanning software. In total, the
Company expects to spend $3.5 million to test internal systems, upgrade and
replace hardware and software, and complete field automation testing. The
remaining $1.5 million is for replacement of any non-compliant field automation
equipment discovered during testing, instrumentation consulting services and
contingency planning. Anadarko's Year 2000 Program is an on-going process that
may result in changes to cost estimates and schedules as testing and business
partner assessment progresses.
Risks The Company expects to have all internal systems and computer equipment
Year 2000 compliant prior to the millennium change. The Company is relying on
its business partners and suppliers to be Year 2000 ready as well. Failure of
significant third parties to complete their Year 2000 compliance projects could
interrupt the supply of materials and contract services needed for oil and gas
operations. Disruptions to oil and
31
32
gas transportation networks controlled by third-party carriers could result in
reduced production volumes delivered to market. Risk associated with foreign
operations may increase with the uncertainty of Year 2000 compliance by foreign
governments and their supporting infrastructures. Such occurrences could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and
financial condition. However, the Year 2000 Program is expected to significantly
reduce the Company's level of uncertainty about the Year 2000 issue.
KANSAS AD VALOREM TAX The Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 allowed a "severance,
production or similar" tax to be included as an add-on, over and above the
maximum lawful price for natural gas. Based on the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) ruling that the Kansas ad valorem tax was such a tax, the
Company collected the Kansas ad valorem tax. FERC's ruling regarding the ability
of producers to collect the Kansas ad valorem tax was appealed to the United
States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (D.C. Circuit). The
Court held in June 1988 that FERC failed to provide a reasoned basis for its
findings and remanded the case to FERC.
Ultimately, the D.C. Circuit issued its decision on August 2, 1996 ruling
that producers must refund all Kansas ad valorem taxes collected relating to
production since October 1983. The Company filed a petition for writ of
certiorari with the Supreme Court. That petition was denied on May 12, 1997.
Anadarko estimates that the maximum amount of principal and interest at issue
which has not been paid to date assuming that the October 1983 effective date
remains in effect, is about $42.7 million (pretax) as of December 31, 1998.
For a description of the court proceedings that have occurred, additional
action taken by FERC and litigation filed by the Company as a result of the D.C.
Circuit 1996 decision, see information appearing under Kansas Ad Valorem Tax
under Item 3 of this Form 10-K.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES Anadarko's total capital spending in 1998 was $917
million, an increase of 34% over 1997 capital spending of $686 million and up
115% over 1996 capital spending of $427 million. Anadarko's record capital
investment program in 1998 reflects increased activities in all core areas of
operation during the year. The largest categories of capital spending in 1998,
1997 and 1996 were for exploration and development activities in the U.S. and
overseas. The Company funded its capital investment program in 1998, 1997 and
1996 primarily through cash flow, plus increases in long-term debt, issuance of
preferred stock and proceeds from property sales.
Capital spending for 1999 has been set at about $410 million, a 55%
decrease from 1998. The reduced capital budget is driven by continued low prices
for crude oil and natural gas. The 1999 budget includes $97 million for
exploration, $197 million for development, $15 million for gas gathering and
other, and $101 million for capitalized interest and overhead.
In addition to its 1999 capital spending budget, Anadarko expects to
complete a financing arrangement of approximately $150 million that will be used
for expenditures to develop the Tanzanite and Hickory gas discoveries in the
Gulf of Mexico. These funds will be earmarked for development drilling and
construction of platforms and production facilities in order to bring both
Fields on production by the fall of 2000.
The Company believes that cash flows, development financing for Tanzanite
and Hickory, and existing or available credit facilities will provide the
majority of funds to meet its capital and operating requirements for
32
33
1999. The Company will continue to evaluate funding alternatives, including
property sales and additional borrowing, to secure other funds for capital
development.
LIQUIDITY AND LONG-TERM DEBT At year-end 1998, Anadarko's total debt was $1.43
billion. This compares to year-end 1997 total debt of $956 million. Anadarko's
total debt has increased primarily because of capital requirements related to
development operations in Algeria, the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska, exploration
activities and acquisitions of producing properties.
In January 1998, Anadarko issued $100 million principal amount of 6.625%
Debentures due 2028. The proceeds were used to fund capital spending projects in
core operating areas.
In March 1998, Anadarko filed a shelf registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that permits the issuance of up to $500
million in debt and equity securities. Net proceeds, terms and pricing of
offerings of securities issued under the shelf registration statement will be
determined at the time of the offerings.
In April 1998, the Company's Revolving Credit and 364-day Credit Agreements
were amended. The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for $225 million principal
amount and the 364-day Credit Agreement provides for $175 million principal
amount. The Revolving Credit Agreement expires in 2002. During 1998, 1997 and
1996, there were no outstanding borrowings under these Agreements.
In April 1998, the Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split.
The stock split was effected by way of a stock dividend. The distribution date
was July 1, 1998 to stockholders of record on June 15, 1998.
In May 1998, Anadarko issued $200 million of 5.46% Series B Cumulative
Preferred Stock in the form of two million Depositary Shares, each Depositary
Share representing 1/10th of a share of the 5.46% Series B Cumulative Preferred
Stock. The preferred stock has no stated maturity and is not subject to a
sinking fund or mandatory redemption. The shares are not convertible into other
securities of the Company. Anadarko has the option to redeem the shares at $100
per Depositary Share on or after May 15, 2008. Holders of the shares are
entitled to receive, when, and as declared by the Board of Directors, cumulative
cash dividends at an annual dividend rate of $5.46 per Depositary Share. The
proceeds from the offering were used to reduce commercial paper and bank
borrowings and provide capital for Anadarko's 1998 capital expenditures. The
preferred stock was issued under the Company's shelf registration statement.
In October 1998, the Company filed a registration statement with the SEC
that permits the issuance of Anadarko common stock under the Anadarko Dividend
Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (DRIP). The DRIP offers the opportunity to
reinvest dividends and provides an alternative to traditional methods of buying,
holding and selling Anadarko common stock. The DRIP provides the Company with a
means of raising additional capital for general corporate purposes through the
sale of common stock under the DRIP.
In October 1998, the Board of Directors adopted a Stockholders Rights Plan,
which replaced the Rights Plan that expired on October 20, 1998. Under the
Rights Plan, the Rights attached automatically to each outstanding share of
common stock on November 10, 1998. Each Right, at the time it becomes
exercisable and transferable apart from the common stock, entitles stockholders
to purchase from the Company 1/1000th of a share of a new series of junior
participating preferred stock at an exercise price of $175. The Right will be
exercisable only if a person or group acquires 15% or more of common stock or
announces a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would
result in ownership by a person or group of 15% or more of the common stock. The
Rights distribution is not taxable to stockholders. The Board of Directors may
elect to exchange and redeem the Rights. The Rights will expire on November 10,
2008.
In November 1997, the Company issued $100 million principal amount of 7%
Debentures due 2027. Net proceeds from the offering were used to repay floating
interest rate debt.
Anadarko's net cash from operating activities in 1998 was $240 million
compared to $362 million in 1997 and $315 million in 1996.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVES Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and for Hedging Activities",
provides guidance for accounting for derivative instruments and hedging
activities. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
1999. The Company has not yet completed an evaluation of the impact of the
provisions of SFAS No. 133.
DIVIDENDS
In 1998, Anadarko paid $22.5 million in dividends to its common
stockholders (3.75 cents per share in the first quarter, and 5 cents per share
in the second, third and fourth quarters). The dividend amount was $17.9 million
in 1997 (3.75 cents per share per quarter) and $17.8 million in 1996 (3.75 cents
per share per quarter). Anadarko has paid a dividend to its common stockholders
continuously since becoming an independent company in 1986.
In 1998, the Company also paid $7.1 million in preferred stock dividends
related to the preferred stock issued in May 1998.
The Company's Bank Credit Agreements require a minimum balance of $650
million to be maintained in stockholders' equity. As a result, the amount of
retained earnings available for dividends as of December 31, 1998 was $609.5
million. The amount of future common stock dividends will depend on earnings,
financial condition, capital requirements and other factors, and will be
determined by the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT
The Management of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation is responsible for the
preparation and integrity of all information contained in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. The financial statements have been prepared
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles appropriate in the
circumstances. In preparing the financial statements, Management makes informed
judgments and estimates.
Management maintains and relies on the Company's system of internal
accounting controls. Although no system can ensure elimination of all errors and
irregularities, this system is designed to provide reasonable assurance that
assets are safeguarded, transactions are executed in accordance with
Management's authorization and accounting records are reliable as a basis for
the preparation of financial statements. This system includes the selection and
training of qualified personnel, an organizational structure providing
appropriate delegation of authority and division of responsibility, the
establishment of accounting and business policies for the Company and the
conduct of internal audits.
The Board of Directors pursues its responsibility for the consolidated
financial information through its Audit Committee, which is composed solely of
Directors who are not officers or employees of Anadarko. The Audit Committee
recommends to the Board of Directors the selection of independent auditors and
reviews their fee arrangements. The Audit Committee meets periodically with
Management, the internal auditors and the independent auditors to review that
each is carrying out its responsibilities. The internal and independent auditors
have full and free access to the Audit Committee to discuss auditing and
financial reporting matters.
We believe that Anadarko's policies and procedures, including its system of
internal accounting controls, provide reasonable assurance that the financial
statements are prepared in accordance with the applicable securities laws.

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
GENERAL Anadarko Petroleum Corporation is engaged in the exploration,
development, production and marketing of natural gas, crude oil, condensate and
natural gas liquids (NGLs). The terms "Anadarko" and "Company" refer to Anadarko
Petroleum Corporation and its subsidiaries. The principal subsidiaries of
Anadarko are: Anadarko Algeria Corporation (Anadarko Algeria), Anadarko Energy
Services Company and Anadarko Gathering Company.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND USE OF ESTIMATES The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Anadarko and its subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The financial
statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles appropriate in the circumstances. Certain amounts for prior years
have been restated to conform to the current presentation. In preparing
financial statements, Management makes informed judgments and estimates that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the
financial statements and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
REVENUES Natural gas and NGLs revenues generally are recorded using the sales
method, whereby the Company recognizes revenues based on the amount of gas and
NGLs sold to purchasers on its behalf. Oil and condensate revenues are recorded
using the entitlements method.
USE OF DERIVATIVES Anadarko uses derivative financial instruments to reduce the
Company's exposure to changes in the market price of natural gas and crude oil,
to fix the price for natural gas and crude oil independently of the physical
purchase or sale, and to manage interest rates. Commodity financial instruments
also provide methods to meet customer pricing requirements while achieving a
price structure consistent with the Company's overall pricing strategy. The
types of commodity derivative financial instruments currently used by Anadarko
are futures, swaps and options.
Anadarko utilizes the hedge or deferral method of accounting for commodity
derivative financial instruments (with the exception of certain written options)
whereby gains and losses on these hedging instruments are realized and recorded
as revenues on the income statement when the related natural gas or oil volumes
have been produced, purchased or delivered. As a result, gains and losses on
commodity financial instruments are generally offset by similar changes in the
realized prices of natural gas and crude oil. Unrealized gains and losses on
these hedging instruments are deferred and recorded as assets or liabilities on
the balance sheet at fair market value as of the balance sheet date. The
unrealized gains and losses include derivatives related to January activities
deferred as of December 31 and exclude certain written options recognized during
the year. All volumes shown exclude January hedges not open and written options
recognized. To qualify as hedging instruments, these instruments must be highly
correlated to anticipated future sales such that the Company's exposure to the
risks of commodity price changes is reduced. While commodity financial
instruments are intended to reduce the Company's exposure to declines in market
prices of natural gas and crude oil, the commodity financial instruments may
also limit Anadarko's gain from increases in the market price of natural gas and
crude oil.
Written options that are not combined with other offsetting instruments are
not classified as hedges. Unrealized losses on these written options, offset by
any option premiums received for these written options, are charged to the
income statement as a reduction to revenues on a current basis.
Interest income resulting from the Company's interest rate swap agreement
is included in interest expense on a current basis. The swap agreement
effectively converts a portion of the Company's fixed interest rate debt to
variable interest rate debt. See Note 6.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998, 1997 AND 1996
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (CONTINUED)
PROPERTIES AND EQUIPMENT The Company uses the full cost method of accounting
for exploration and development activities as defined by the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Under this method of accounting, the
costs for unsuccessful, as well as successful, exploration and development
activities are capitalized as properties and equipment. This includes any
internal costs that can be directly identified with exploration and development
activities, but does not include any costs related to production, general
corporate overhead or similar activities.
The sum of net capitalized costs and estimated future development and
dismantlement costs is amortized using the unit-of-production method. Excluded
from amounts subject to amortization are costs associated with unevaluated
properties and major development projects. On a country-by-country basis, should
the net capitalized costs exceed the estimated present value of future net cash
flows from proved oil and gas reserves, such excess costs would be charged to
current expense. Gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of oil and gas
properties is not recognized unless significant amounts of oil and gas reserves
are involved.
All other properties and equipment are stated at original cost, which does
not purport to represent replacement or market values.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTINGENCIES The Company accrues for environmental contingencies
when liabilities are likely to occur and reasonable estimates can be made. These
estimates are not discounted. In accordance with full cost accounting rules, the
Company provides for environmental clean up costs associated with oil and gas
activities as a component of its depreciation, depletion and amortization
expense. Recoveries from third parties for environmental liabilities are not
recognized unless collection is probable.
INTEREST CAPITALIZED The Company capitalizes interest on borrowed funds related
to oil and gas expenditures that are not subject to amortization until
completion of evaluation or development activities.
INCOME TAXES The Company files a U.S. consolidated federal income tax return.
Deferred federal, state and foreign income taxes are provided on all significant
temporary differences, except for those essentially permanent in duration,
between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases.
CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased
with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
ACCOUNTS PAYABLE, BANKS This account represents credit balances to the extent
that checks issued have not been presented to the Company's banks for payment.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company accounts for stock-based compensation
under the intrinsic value method. Under this method, the Company records no
compensation expense for stock options granted when the exercise price of
options granted is equal to the fair market value of Anadarko's common stock on
the date of grant. See Note 8.
EARNINGS PER SHARE The Company's basic earnings (loss) per share (EPS) amounts
have been computed based on the average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted EPS amounts include the effect of the Company's outstanding stock
options under the treasury stock method. See Note 8.
2. DISPOSITION OF FOREIGN SUBSIDIARY
In 1996, Anadarko sold its wholly-owned subsidiary, Anadarko Indonesia
Company, Jabung. As a result, the Company recorded a gain of $19,385,000 and
U.S. income tax expense of $7,040,000 on the sale.

$331,000 and $270,000, respectively, held by the Anadarko Petroleum Corporation
Executives and Directors Benefits Trust. See Note 8.
4. INVENTORIES
Materials and supplies and natural gas inventories are stated at the lower
of average cost or market. Natural gas, when sold from inventory, is charged to
expense using the average-cost method. Oil inventory is stated at market value.
The major classes of inventories are as follows:
1998 1997

A summary of the original cost of properties and equipment by
classification follows:

Oil and gas properties $5,155,260 $4,378,545
Gathering facilities 143,989 132,608
Plant facilities 13,283 13,286
General properties 176,189 144,812
---------- ----------
$5,488,721 $4,669,251
---------- ----------
Oil and gas properties are amortized using the unit-of-production method.
All other properties are depreciated on the straight-line basis over the useful
lives of the assets, which range from three to 25 years.
Oil and gas properties include costs of $353,647,000 and $343,789,000 at
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, which were excluded from capitalized
costs being amortized. These amounts represent costs associated with unevaluated
properties and major development projects. Anadarko excludes all costs on a
country-by-country basis until proved reserves are found or until it is
determined that the costs are impaired. All excluded costs are reviewed
quarterly to determine if impairment has occurred.
During 1998 and 1996, the Company made provisions for impairments of
international properties of $70,000,000 and $5,400,000, respectively, which were
related to oil and gas properties. These impairments related to all exploration
activity in Peru, Jordan, China and other international locations, as well as
two dry holes drilled on the Zula Block in Eritrea.
Total interest costs incurred during 1998, 1997 and 1996 were $82,415,000,
$62,096,000 and $55,985,000, respectively. Of these amounts, the Company
capitalized $24,716,000, $21,137,000 and $17,012,000 during 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Capitalized interest is included as part of the cost of oil and
gas properties. The capitalization rates are based on the Company's weighted
average cost of borrowings used to finance the expenditures.
In addition to capitalized interest, the Company also capitalized internal
costs of $90,774,000, $66,899,000 and $50,213,000 during 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. These internal costs were directly related to exploration and
development activities and are included as part of the cost of oil and gas
properties.

Anadarko has noncommitted lines of credit from several banks. The general
provisions of these lines of credit provide for Anadarko to borrow funds for
terms and rates offered from time to time by the banks. There are no fees
associated with these lines of credit.
The Company has a commercial paper program that allows Anadarko to borrow
funds, at rates as offered, by issuing notes to investors for terms of up to 270
days.
The commercial paper and notes payable to banks have been classified as
long-term debt in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 6, "Classification of Short-term Obligations Expected to be
Refinanced," under the terms of Anadarko's Bank Credit Agreements.
In early 1999, Anadarko entered into a $135,000,000 Credit Agreement which
matures in April 2001 with a commercial bank. The interest rate is based upon
the prime rate, federal funds rate or eurodollar rate. The agreement provides
for commitment fees on the unused balance at a rate based on the Company's
long-term debt rating.
In December 1998, Anadarko entered into a Long Term Multiple Advance Note
which matures in April 2000 with a commercial bank. Interest rates are based
upon an agreed rate or the London Interbank Offered Rate. As of December 31,
1998, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $150,000,000 under this
agreement.
In March 1998, Anadarko filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC
that permitted the issuance of up to $500,000,000 in debt and equity securities.
Net proceeds, terms and pricing of offerings of securities issued under the
shelf registration statement will be determined at the time of the offerings.
Anadarko has used similar shelf registration statements since 1989 to provide
added flexibility in financing strategies. In May 1998, $200,000,000 in
preferred stock was issued under the shelf registration statement. See Note 7.
In January 1998, Anadarko issued $100,000,000 principal amount of 6.625%
Debentures due 2028. The proceeds were used to fund capital spending projects in
core operating areas.
In November 1997, Anadarko issued $100,000,000 principal amount of 7%
Debentures due 2027. Net proceeds from the offering were used to repay floating
interest rate debt.
The Company has a $225,000,000 Revolving Credit Agreement and a
$175,000,000 364-day Credit Agreement with a group of eight commercial banks.
Interest rates are based on either the reference rate, the

rate of certificate of deposit, the eurodollar rate or a combination thereof.
The agreements provide for commitment fees on the unused balances at a rate
based on the Company's long-term debt rating. The Revolving Credit Agreement
will expire in 2002. During 1998 and 1997, there were no outstanding borrowings
under these Agreements.
During 1998 and 1997, the Company had available $20,000,000 in a bank line
of credit which was not used. The maximum interest rate for loans against the
line was the reference rate of the bank. The line of credit is renewable
annually, but may be withdrawn at any time by the bank. In 1998 and 1997,
Anadarko maintained an average daily compensating balance of $1,000,000 for this
line of credit.
Total sinking fund and installment payments related to long-term debt for
the five years ending December 31, 2003 are shown below. The payments related to
the redemption of the commercial paper and notes payable to banks are included

is the value the Company would have to pay to retire the debt, including any
premium or discount to the debt holder for the differential between stated
interest rate and year-end market rate. The fair values are based on quoted
market prices from Standard and Poor's Bond Guide and, where such quotes were

financial instruments -- futures, swaps and options -- to fix a price
independent of the timing of the physical purchase or sale, to fix a

6. LONG-TERM DEBT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
price differential (basis) between the price of gas at Henry Hub and the price
at the market locations at which Anadarko purchases and sells oil and gas
(market locations), to hedge the fixed price or fixed basis pricing requirements
of Anadarko's customers and suppliers, and to hedge the value of gas in storage
or gas owed to or due from pipelines. The fair value of derivative financial
instruments reflects the estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay
to settle the contracts as of December 31. Dealer quotes are available for the
majority of the Company's derivatives.
COMMODITY FUTURES Anadarko generally uses commodity futures contracts to fix
the price of gas delivered to Henry Hub or oil delivered to Cushing. Futures
contracts have settlement guaranteed by the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX)
and have nominal credit risk.
At year-end 1998, Anadarko had open natural gas futures contracts related
to sales totaling 60 billion British thermal units per day (BBtu/d) related to
sales for February through March 1999 and 10 BBtu/d related to sales for April
through August 1999. The Company had open fixed price natural gas futures
contracts of 62 BBtu/d for February through March 1999. Anadarko had open crude
oil futures contracts related to sales of 7 thousand barrels per day (MBbls/d)
for February through March 1999 and 1 MBbls/d for April 1999.
At year-end 1997, Anadarko had open natural gas futures contracts related
to customer and supplier pricing requirements totaling 30 BBtu/d related to
sales for February through March 1998 and 20 BBtu/d for April through August
1998.
COMMODITY SWAPS Anadarko generally uses commodity swap agreements with
third-parties to fix the price of gas and oil at its market locations. In
addition, Anadarko uses basis swap agreements to fix the price differential
between the price of gas at Henry Hub and the price of gas at its market
locations. These energy swap agreements expose the Company to third-party credit
risk to the extent the third-parties are unable to meet their monthly settlement
commitment to the Company. The Company monitors the credit standing of the
third-parties and anticipates they will be able to fully satisfy their
contractual obligations.
At year-end 1998, Anadarko had open basis swap agreements for the Company's
gas sales averaging 30 BBtu/d for 1999 which were offset by open basis swap
agreements of like amounts for the same periods, thus eliminating the risk to
Anadarko from future price changes related to this position. The Company also
had open basis swap agreements for the Company's gas sales averaging 718 BBtu/d
for February through March 1999 and 64 BBtu/d for April through December 1999.
The Company also had fixed price swap agreements of 4 BBtu/d for February
through March 1999. In addition, the Company had open gas swaps related to
customer and supplier gas pricing requirements of 351 BBtu/d for February
through March 1999, 90 BBtu/d for April through December 1999, 31 BBtu/d for
January through December 2000 and 20 BBtu/d for January through December 2001.
At year-end 1997, Anadarko had open basis swap agreements for the Company's
gas sales averaging 30 BBtu/d for 1998 and 1999 which were offset by open basis
swap agreements of like amounts for the same periods, thus eliminating the risk
to Anadarko from future price changes related to this position. Anadarko also
had open gas swap agreements for the Company's gas sales averaging 58 BBtu/d for
February through March 1998, 8 BBtu/d for April through October 1998 and 20
BBtu/d for January 1999. The Company also had open gas swap agreements related
to customer and supplier gas pricing requirements of 56 BBtu/d for February
through March 1998, 15 BBtu/d for April through December 1998 and 28 BBtu/d for
January through March 1999.
COMMODITY OPTIONS The Company generally uses commodity options to fix a floor
and a ceiling for prices (a "collar") on its sales volumes. The Company also has
used options to "straddle" a price, effectively setting a price above the then
present market price at which the Company is willing to fix its sales price and
a price below the then present market price at which the Company is willing to
fix its purchase price for third party supply. Like futures, NYMEX options have
settlement guaranteed and have nominal credit risk.

6. LONG-TERM DEBT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
At year-end 1998, Anadarko had open NYMEX options for the Company's gas
sales of 35 BBtu/d for puts and 27 BBtu/d for calls during February and March
1999. Anadarko also had open NYMEX gas options for its customers of 5 BBtu/d for
puts and 23 BBtu/d for calls for February through March 1999, 11 BBtu/d for puts
for April through December 1999, 11 BBtu/d for calls for April through October
1999 and 11 BBtu/d for puts for January through March 2000. In addition, the
Company had open crude oil options of 14 MBbls/d for puts and 10 MBbls/d for
calls during February 1999.
At year-end 1997, Anadarko had open NYMEX options for the Company's gas
sales of 1.5 BBtu/d for both puts and calls during April through November 1998
in order to fix a price range on gas sales. Anadarko had open NYMEX gas options
for its customers of 10 BBtu/d for puts and 25 BBtu/d for calls for February
through March 1998 and 5 BBtu/d for calls for April through July 1998. In
addition, the Company had open crude oil options of 1.7 MBbls/d for both puts
and calls during February through March 1998.
INTEREST RATE SWAP During 1996, Anadarko entered into a 10-year swap agreement
with a notional value of $100,000,000 whereby the Company receives a fixed
interest rate and pays a floating interest rate indexed to 3-month LIBOR. This
agreement was entered into to offset a portion of the effect of the Company's
fixed rate long-term debt. The fair value of the interest rate swap is based
upon a market quote from a commercial bank and is the approximate amount
Anadarko would have received if the agreement was terminated at year-end.
7. PREFERRED STOCK
In May 1998, Anadarko issued $200,000,000 of 5.46% Series B Cumulative
Preferred Stock in the form of two million Depositary Shares, each Depositary
Share representing 1/10th of a share of the 5.46% Series B Cumulative Preferred
Stock. The preferred stock has no stated maturity and is not subject to a
sinking fund or mandatory redemption. The shares are not convertible into other
securities of the Company.
Anadarko has the option to redeem the shares at $100 per Depositary Share
on or after May 15, 2008. Holders of the shares are entitled to receive, when,
and as declared by the Board of Directors, cumulative cash dividends at an
annual dividend rate of $5.46 per Depositary Share. The proceeds from the
offering were used to reduce commercial paper and bank borrowings and provide
capital for Anadarko's 1998 capital expenditures. The preferred stock was issued
under the Company's shelf registration statement.
During 1998, dividends of $35.49 per share (equivalent to $3.549 per
Depositary Share) were paid to holders of preferred stock.

In April 1998, the Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split,
effected in the form of a stock dividend. The distribution date was July 1, 1998
to stockholders of record on June 15, 1998. Excluding the table above, all share
and per share information have been restated to reflect the stock split.
For the second, third and fourth quarters of 1998, dividends of 5 cents per
share were paid to holders of common stock. In the first quarter of 1998 and in
each quarter of 1997 and 1996, dividends of 3.75 cents per share were paid to
holders of common stock. Under the most restrictive provisions of the various
credit agreements, which limit the payment of dividends by the Company, retained
earnings of $609,456,000, $466,780,000 and $364,080,000 were not restricted as
to the payment of dividends at December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
In October 1998, the Company filed a registration statement with the SEC
that permits the issuance of Anadarko common stock under the Anadarko Dividend
Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (DRIP). The DRIP offers the opportunity to
reinvest dividends and provides an alternative to traditional methods of buying,
holding and selling Anadarko common stock. The DRIP provides the Company with a
means of raising additional capital for general corporate purposes through the
sale of common stock under the DRIP.
In October 1998, the Board of Directors adopted a Stockholders Rights Plan,
which replaced the Rights Plan that expired on October 20, 1998. Under the
Rights Plan, the Rights attached automatically to each outstanding share of
common stock on November 10, 1998. Each Right, at the time it becomes
exercisable and transferable apart from the common stock, entitles stockholders
to purchase from the Company 1/1000th of a share of a new series of junior
participating preferred stock at an exercise price of $175. The Right will be
exercisable only if a person or group acquires 15% or more of common stock or
announces a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would
result in ownership by a person or group of 15% or more of the common stock. The
Rights distribution was not taxable to stockholders. The Board of Directors may
elect to exchange and redeem the Rights. The Rights will expire on November 10,
2008.

8. COMMON STOCK AND STOCK OPTIONS -- (CONTINUED)
During 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Company acquired treasury stock only as a
result of stock option exercises, restricted stock transactions or buyback of
shares, which were unsolicited from stockholders.
As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company had 2,000,000 shares of
common stock in the Anadarko Petroleum Corporation Executives and Directors
Benefits Trust (Trust) to secure present and future unfunded benefit obligations
of the Company. These benefit obligations are provided for under pension plans
and deferred compensation plans for certain employees and non-employee Directors
of the Company. The obligations included in Deferred Credits -- Other are
$15,988,000 and $16,288,000 as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
shares issued to the Trust are not considered outstanding for quorum or voting
calculations, but the Trust receives dividends. Under the treasury stock method,
the shares are not included in the calculation of EPS. The fair market value of
these shares is included in common stock and paid-in capital and as a reduction
to stockholders' equity. See Note 15.
Key employees may be granted options to purchase shares of Anadarko common
stock and other stock related awards under the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan. Stock
options are granted at the fair market value of Anadarko stock on the date of
grant and have a maximum term of 11 years from the date of grant.
In addition, the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan provides that up to 1,600,000
shares of common stock may be granted as restricted stock. Generally, restricted
stock is subject to forfeiture restrictions and cannot be sold, transferred or
disposed of during the restriction period. The holders of the restricted stock
have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such shares,
including the right to vote and receive dividends or other distributions paid
with respect to such shares. During 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Company issued
57,100, 296,000 and 78,900 shares, respectively, of restricted stock with a
weighted-average grant date fair value of $32.47, $34.06 and $31.71,
respectively.
Non-employee Directors may be granted non-qualified stock options under the
1998 Director Stock Plan. Stock options are granted at the fair market value of
Anadarko stock on the date of grant and have a maximum term of ten years from
the date of grant. Prior to 1998, non-employee Directors were granted non-
qualified stock options under the 1988 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee
Directors, which terminated in October 1998.
The 1987 Stock Option Plan terminated pursuant to its terms in 1997. Some
of the option grants made prior to the termination are still outstanding.
Outstanding grants will terminate ten years from the date of grant unless
exercised earlier.
Anadarko and a key officer of the Company have a Performance Share
Agreement under the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan. The Agreement provides for
issuance of up to 300,000 shares of common stock of the Company at the end of a
four or eight-year period contingent upon the Company's achievement of
predetermined objectives. During each of the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997
and 1996, annual expense of $2,000,000 was recognized under the Agreement. The
fair value of the performance shares is not determinable at this time since the
shares to be issued are contingent upon the Company's achievement of the
objectives.

Accordingly, no compensation expense is recognized for stock options granted

10. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS
Anadarko Algeria has a Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) with SONATRACH,
the national oil and gas enterprise of Algeria. SONATRACH is the beneficial
owner of 9.9% of the Company's outstanding common stock. The PSA gives Anadarko
Algeria the right to explore for and produce liquid hydrocarbons in Algeria,
subject to the sharing of production with SONATRACH. Anadarko Algeria has two
partners in the PSA. The Company also has a minority interest in a PSA covering
two additional blocks in the same region, which are operated by BHP Petroleum
(Algerie) Inc., where an exploration program is underway. Approximately $26,000,
$438,000 and $60,000 was paid to SONATRACH in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively,
for charges related to reservoir studies, laboratory services, well testing
services and equipment usage. During 1998 and 1997, $32,091,000 and $7,911,000,
respectively, was received and $25,854,000 and $7,129,000 was included in
accounts receivable as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, from
SONATRACH for joint interest billings of development costs in Algeria under the
PSA. Through December 31, 1998, the amounts received from SONATRACH have been
paid in Algerian dinars, the local currency, which are used by the Company to
make payments in Algeria.
Anadarko and partners have a $177,000,000 Engineering, Procurement and
Construction (EPC) contract with Brown & Root Condor, a company jointly owned by
Brown & Root and affiliates of SONATRACH. For the years ended December 31, 1998,
1997 and 1996, approximately $43,463,000, $107,049,000 and $21,933,000,
respectively, was paid to Brown & Root Condor under the EPC contract.
Political unrest continues in Algeria. Anadarko is closely monitoring the
situation and has taken reasonable and prudent steps to ensure the safety of
employees and the security of its facilities in the remote regions of the Sahara
Desert. Anadarko is presently unable to predict with certainty any effect the
current situation may have on activity planned for 1999 and beyond. However, the
situation has not had any material effect on the Company's operations to date.
The Company's activities in Algeria also are subject to the general risks
associated with all foreign operations.
In 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Company paid Houston Advanced Research Center
(HARC) $150,000, $20,000 and $50,000, respectively, for seismic imaging
projects. John R. Butler, Jr., a Director of the Company, serves as Chairman,
President and CEO of HARC.
The Company's natural gas is sold to interstate and intrastate gas
pipelines, direct end-users, industrial users, local distribution companies and
gas marketers. Crude oil and condensate are sold to marketers, gatherers and
refiners. NGLs are sold to direct end-users, refiners and marketers. These
purchasers are located in the United States, Canada, France and Mexico. The
majority of the Company's receivables are paid within two months following the
month of purchase.
The Company generally performs a credit analysis of customers prior to
making any sales to new customers. Based upon this credit analysis, the Company
may require a standby letter of credit or a financial guarantee.
In 1998, sales to CoEnergy Trading Co. were $144,320,000, sales to
Proliance Energy LLC were $67,713,000 and sales to Texaco Trading &
Transportation Company were $65,552,000, each of which accounted for more than
10% of the Company's total 1998 revenues. In 1997, sales to CoEnergy Trading Co.
were $200,368,000, sales to Texaco Trading & Transportation Company were
$78,816,000 and sales to Proliance Energy LLC were $75,808,000, each of which
accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total 1997 revenues. In 1996, sales
to Texaco Trading & Transportation Company were $64,444,000, which accounted for
more than 10% of the Company's total 1996 revenues.

in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
In 1998 and 1997, the Company entered into sale-leaseback agreements
totaling $112,440,000 (net) involving 177 natural gas compressors in Anadarko's
major mid-continent gathering systems. Proceeds from these transactions were
used for general corporate purposes. The related leases are being accounted for
as operating leases. The gains of $77,980,000 were deferred and are being
amortized over the lease terms as a reduction to operating expense. As of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, Deferred Credits -- Other includes $63,760,000 and
$57,800,000, respectively, related to the long-term portion of the deferred

15. PENSION PLANS, OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS AND EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS The Company has a defined
benefit pension plan and an equalization plan which are non-contributory pension
plans. The Company also provides certain health care and life insurance benefits
for retired employees. Health care benefits are funded by contributions from the
Company and the retiree, with the retiree contributions adjusted per the
provisions of the Company's health care plans. The Company's retiree life
insurance plan is non-contributory.
The following table sets forth the Company's pension and other
postretirement benefits changes in benefit obligation, fair value of plan

in excess of plan assets were $10,458,000, $6,995,000 and $0, respectively, as
of December 31, 1998, and $11,472,000, $8,618,000 and $0, respectively, as of
December 31, 1997. The Company's benefit obligations under the unfunded pension
plans are secured by the Anadarko Petroleum Corporation Executives and Directors
Benefits Trust. See Note 8.
Anadarko's Non-employee Director Pension Plan was terminated effective
January 1, 1998. The Directors were granted phantom shares equal to the value of
the accumulated benefit on the date of termination.

EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN The Company has an employee savings plan (ESP) that is a
defined contribution plan. The Company matches a portion of employees'
contributions with shares of the Company's common stock. Participation in the
ESP is voluntary and all regular employees of the Company are eligible to
participate. The Company charged to expense plan contributions of $5,254,000,
$4,618,000 and $4,076,000 during 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
FOREIGN PLANS The Company has a pension plan for certain non-resident foreign
nationals. Employees make contributions to the plan. The Company makes
contributions to the plan, if necessary, based on actuarial information.
Participation in the plan is voluntary. The Company's contributions were
$808,000 and $372,000 during 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The Company has an employee savings plan for certain non-resident foreign

16. CONTINGENCIES
ENVIRONMENTAL On December 17, 1993, the Company received a notice from the
Department of Justice in the State of California indicating the Company may be a
potentially responsible party (PRP) for the study, cleanup and closure of the
waste facility owned by Geothermal, Inc. in Middletown, California (the GI
site). Anadarko's records indicate the disposal of a limited number of barrels
of drilling mud at the GI site in 1982. During the first quarter of 1994, the
Company, along with other PRPs, became a party to a Cost Sharing, Joint Defense
and Confidentiality Agreement, effective October 20, 1993. The Company believes
its share of costs in connection with the cleanup of the GI site will be
approximately $35,000 to $70,000 and will not have a material effect on its
financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
New technology has recently been developed which could result in closure of
the GI site at substantial cost reductions. A pilot study of this technology is
currently underway. The California Water Quality Control Board has agreed to
defer a final closure decision until the completion of the pilot study in early
2000.
KANSAS AD VALOREM TAX The Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 allowed a "severance,
production or similar" tax to be included as an add-on, over and above the
maximum lawful price for natural gas. Based on the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) ruling that the Kansas ad valorem tax was such a tax, the
Company collected the Kansas ad valorem tax.
Background of Present Litigation FERC's ruling regarding the ability of
producers to collect the Kansas ad valorem tax was appealed to the United States
Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (D.C. Circuit). The Court
held in June 1988 that FERC failed to provide a reasoned basis for its findings
and remanded the case to FERC.
Ultimately, the D.C. Circuit issued a decision on August 2, 1996 ruling
that producers must refund all Kansas ad valorem taxes collected relating to
production since October 1983. The Company filed a petition for writ of
certiorari with the Supreme Court. That petition was denied on May 12, 1997.
Anadarko estimates that the maximum amount of principal and interest at
issue which has not been paid to date, assuming that the October 1983 effective
date remains in effect, is about $42,700,000 (pretax) as of December 31, 1998.
FERC Proceedings Depending on future FERC orders, the Company could be required
to pay all or part of the amounts claimed by all pipelines (which might include
PanEnergy) pending further potential review by FERC or the courts.
PanEnergy Litigation On May 13, 1997, the Company filed a lawsuit in the
Federal District Court for the Southern District of Texas against PanEnergy
seeking declaration that pursuant to prior agreements Anadarko is not required
to issue refunds to PanEnergy for the principal amount of $14,000,000 (pretax)
and, if the petition for adjustment is denied in its entirety by FERC with
respect to PanEnergy refunds, interest in an amount of $27,100,000 (pretax) as
of December 31, 1998. The Company also seeks from PanEnergy the return of
$816,000 of the $830,000 (pretax) charged against income in 1993 and 1994. In
response to a motion filed by PanEnergy, the United States District Court issued
an order on March 17, 1998 staying the litigation, pending the exercise by FERC
of its regulatory jurisdiction.
FERC Order of October 13, 1998 On October 13, 1998, FERC issued a final order
on Anadarko's complaint. The order declares that Anadarko Production Company
(now an affiliate of Duke Energy) is responsible as first seller for making
refunds of Kansas ad valorem tax reimbursements collected from 1983 through
August 1, 1985. The Company estimates this amount to be as much as $26,000,000.
The Company is responsible to make refunds for reimbursements it collected as
first seller from August 1, 1985 through 1988. The Company estimates this amount
to be as much as $16,000,000. The FERC order states that whether Anadarko
Production Company or the Company is entitled to reimbursement from another
party for the refunds ordered is a matter to be pursued in an appropriate
judicial forum. On January 15, 1999, FERC issued an order denying a request for
rehearing filed by PanEnergy and reaffirming the October 1998 order. FERC

may, in the near future, issue an order based upon the above allocation
regarding when the refunds must be paid and the specific refund amount. The
issue of reimbursement will now be pursued in U.S. District Court.
Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) Proceeding On April 30, 1998, the Company's
subsidiary, Anadarko Gathering Company (AGC), filed a petition with the KCC to
clarify AGC's rights and obligations, if any, related to the payment by first
sellers of Kansas ad valorem tax refunds. The refunds at issue relate to sales
made by Anadarko Production Company, a PanEnergy affiliate, through facilities
known as the Cimmaron River System during the time period from 1983 to 1988. AGC
purchased the Cimmaron River System from Centana, the successor of Anadarko
Production Company, in 1995. The petition, among other things, asks the KCC to
determine whether AGC or Anadarko Production Company is responsible for the
payment or distribution of refunds received from first sellers to Anadarko
Production Company's former customers and requests guidance concerning the
disposition of refunds received that are attributable to sales made to Anadarko
Production Company customers that did not reimburse Anadarko Production Company
for Kansas ad valorem taxes during the relevant time periods. This matter is
presently being pursued before the KCC. The KCC is expected to issue a
recommendation upon Anadarko's petition in this matter by March 15, 1999.
Anadarko's net income for 1997 included a $1,800,000 charge (pretax)
related to the Kansas ad valorem tax refunds. This charge reflects all principal
and interest which may be due at the conclusion of all regulatory proceedings
and litigation to parties other than PanEnergy. The Company is unable at this
time to predict the final outcome of this matter and no provision for liability
(excluding amounts recorded in 1993, 1994 and 1997) has been made in the
accompanying financial statements.

OIL AND GAS RESERVES
The following table shows estimates prepared by the Company's engineers of
proved reserves and proved developed reserves, net of royalty interests, of
natural gas, crude oil, condensate and NGLs owned at year-end and changes in
proved reserves during the last three years. Volumes for natural gas are in
billions of cubic feet (Bcf) at a pressure base of 14.73 pounds per square inch
and volumes for oil, condensate and NGLs are in millions of barrels (MMBbls).
Total volumes are in millions of energy equivalent barrels (MMEEBs). For this
computation, one barrel is the equivalent of six thousand cubic feet of gas.
NGLs are included with oil and condensate reserves and the associated shrinkage
has been deducted from the gas reserves.
Algerian reserves are shown in accordance with the PSA. The reserves
include estimated quantities allocated to Anadarko for recovery of costs and
Algerian taxes and Anadarko's net equity share after recovery of such costs.
Anadarko's reserves increased in 1998 primarily from exploration and
development drilling and purchases in place. Anadarko's reserves increase was
offset partially by a negative reserve revision caused by lower natural gas and
crude oil prices at year-end 1998 compared to year-end 1997. The Company's
reserves increased in 1997 primarily from exploration and development drilling
and improved recovery. The Company's reserves increased in 1996 primarily from
exploration and development drilling and improved recovery.
The Company emphasizes that the volumes of reserves shown below are
estimates which, by their nature, are subject to revision. The estimates are
made using all available geological and reservoir data as well as production
performance data. These estimates are reviewed annually and revised, either
upward or downward, as warranted by additional performance data.

DISCOUNTED FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS
Estimates of future net cash flows from proved reserves of gas, oil,
condensate and NGLs were made in accordance with SFAS No. 69, "Disclosures about
Oil and Gas Producing Activities." The amounts were prepared by the Company's
engineers and are shown in the following table. The estimates are based on
prices at year-end.
Under the full cost method of accounting, a non-cash charge to earnings
related to the carrying value of the Company's oil and gas properties on a
county-by-county basis may be required when prices are low. Whether the Company
will be required to take such a charge depends on the prices for crude oil and
natural gas at the end of any quarter, as well as the effect of both capital
expenditures and changes to proved reserves during that quarter. If a non-cash
charge were required, it would reduce earnings for the quarter, which would
result in lower DD&A expense in future periods.
Prices for crude oil and natural gas were significantly lower at year-end
1998 compared to year-end 1997. Since the end of 1998, gas prices have continued
to fall. If the current pricing environment continues or worsens, the Company
may be required to take a non-cash charge against earnings during the first
quarter of 1999.
Gas prices are escalated only for fixed and determinable amounts under
provisions in some contracts. Estimated future cash inflows are reduced by
estimated future development and production costs based on year-end cost levels,
assuming continuation of existing economic conditions, and by estimated future
income tax expense. Income tax expense, both U.S. and foreign, is calculated by
applying the existing statutory tax rates, including any known future changes,
to the pretax net cash flows giving effect to any permanent differences and
reduced by the applicable tax basis. The effect of tax credits are considered in
determining the income tax expense.
At December 31, 1998, the present value (discounted at ten percent) of
future net revenues from Anadarko's proved reserves was $3.1 billion, before
income taxes, and $2.2 billion, after income taxes, (stated in accordance with
the regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission and the Financial
Accounting Standards Board). The after income taxes increase of 10 percent in
1998 compared to 1997 is primarily due to the additions of proved reserves
related to successful exploration and development drilling and purchases in
place, partially offset by significantly lower natural gas and crude oil prices
at year-end 1998.
The present value of future net revenues does not purport to be an estimate
of the fair market value of Anadarko's proved reserves. An estimate of fair
value would also take into account, among other things, anticipated changes in
future prices and costs, the expected recovery of reserves in excess of proved
reserves and a discount factor more representative of the time value of money
and the risks inherent in producing oil and gas. Significant changes in
estimated reserve volumes or commodity prices could have a material effect on
the Company's consolidated financial statements.
