HOUSTON, TX USA
                   Company's Production Will Double in 2000

    HOUSTON, July 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Anadarko Petroleum Corporation
(NYSE: APC) today reported record second quarter financial and operating
results as a stand alone company, and pro forma results for the combined
operations of APC and Union Pacific Resources Group.  In early July, the
merger involving the two companies was completed, making Anadarko Petroleum
one of the largest and financially strongest independent oil and gas companies
in the world.
    "Anadarko and UPR each benefited from higher commodity prices during the
second quarter and generated substantial cash flow which we'll use to
accelerate operating activities and grow production," said Robert J. Allison,
Jr., Anadarko Chairman and CEO.  "Anadarko, by itself, had a great quarter
with record earnings per share, cash flow and production.  On a pro forma
basis, the combined companies would have generated second quarter earnings of
$210 million, cash flow of $560 million and total production of 44.8 million
energy equivalent barrels (492,000 per day).  With the production added by the
UPR merger in the last six months of the year, Anadarko's 2000 annual
production will easily double our 1999 production.  We expect to produce more
than 200 million energy equivalent barrels in 2001."

    Second Quarter Results - Anadarko
    For the second quarter of 2000, Anadarko net income available to common
shareholders was $74.9 million, or $0.58 per share (basic), on revenues of
$306.3 million.  For the same period in 1999, net income was $8 million, or
$0.06 per share (basic), on revenues of $161.5 million.  Cash flow from
operations during the second quarter of 2000 totaled $180.0 million, a 156%
increase over the $70.4 million in the corresponding quarter of 1999.
Anadarko attributed the improved results in the second quarter to
significantly higher commodity prices and to increased production.  Anadarko
had no significant commodity price hedges in place during the period.
    During the second quarter of 2000, Anadarko produced approximately
14.2 million energy equivalent barrels, up 15% from the 12.3 million barrels
produced in the same period of 1999.  The increased production is attributed
primarily to Anadarko's oil production in Algeria and in its Bossier Field
natural gas play in East Texas.
    Oil prices in the second quarter averaged $27.37 per barrel, compared with
$14.97 per barrel in the same quarter last year.  Total oil production in the
quarter averaged 46,000 barrels per day, up 9% from 42,000 barrels per day in
the second quarter of 1999.
    Natural gas prices at the wellhead averaged $3.20 per thousand cubic feet
(Mcf) during the quarter, up 64% from the average of $1.95 per Mcf received in
the comparable quarter of 1999.  Natural gas production in the second quarter
of 2000 averaged 536 million cubic feet (MMcf) per day, an increase of 16%
over the 461 MMcf per day produced in the same period last year.  The increase
is due primarily to the continued strength of Anadarko's Bossier Field natural
gas play in East Texas.
    The prices received during the quarter for Anadarko's NGLs averaged
$20.10 per barrel, compared with the $11.91 per barrel average received in the
same quarter last year.  Production of NGLs during the quarter averaged
21,000 barrels per day, compared with 17,000 barrels per day in the second
quarter of 1999.

    First Half Results - Anadarko
    For the first six months of 2000, Anadarko reported net income available
to common stockholders of $114.0 million, or $0.89 per share (basic), on
revenues of $553.4 million.  For the comparable period in 1999, Anadarko had a
net loss of $15.1 million, or $0.12 per common share, on revenues of
$297.9 million.  The loss included a first quarter 1999 non-cash charge of
$20 million ($12.8 million after taxes) related to Anadarko's Eritrean
exploration program.  Excluding the foreign impairment, Anadarko had a net
loss to common stockholders of $2.3 million, or $0.02 per share for the first
half of 1999.  Cash flow from operations in the first half of 2000 totaled
$304.9 million compared with $116.2 million for the same period last year.
Anadarko attributed the improved revenues and earnings to significantly higher
commodity prices and increased production volumes.
    During the first half of 2000, Anadarko produced approximately
27.4 million energy equivalent barrels, up 8% from the 25.3 million barrels
produced in the same period of 1999.
    Anadarko's oil production for the first six months of 2000 averaged
44,000 barrels per day, compared with an average of 43,000 barrels per day in
the first half of 1999.  Anadarko's average oil price received for the 2000
period was $26.88 per barrel, up 111% from the $12.74 per barrel received in
the same period last year.
    In the first six months of 2000, Anadarko's natural gas production
averaged 511 MMcf of gas per day, up 8% from the average of 475 MMcf per day
produced in the same period last year.  The wellhead price received for
natural gas in the first half of 2000 averaged $2.84 per Mcf, a 60% increase
above the average of $1.77 per Mcf received in the same period last year.
    During the first half of 2000, Anadarko's production of NGLs averaged
22,000 barrels per day, compared with 17,000 barrels per day in the same
period in 1999.  Anadarko's average price received for NGLs was $20.43 per
barrel, up from $10.20 per barrel in the first six months of last year.

    Second Quarter - Pro Forma Results
    For the second quarter of 2000, pro forma net income from continuing
operations for the new Anadarko totaled $210 million, or $0.87 per common
share (basic), on pro forma revenues of $842 million.  Pro forma cash flow
from operations was $560 million in the quarter.  Pro forma production for the
new Anadarko during the second quarter totaled 44.8 million energy equivalent
barrels, with average production of 1.7 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural
gas per day and 211,000 barrels of crude oil, condensate and natural gas
liquids (NGLs) per day.

    First Half - Pro Forma Results
    For the first six months of 2000, pro forma net income from continuing
operations for the new Anadarko totaled $370 million, or $1.53 per common
share (basic), on pro forma revenues of $1.6 billion.  Pro forma cash flow
from operations totaled $1.0 billion in the period.  Pro forma production for
the new Anadarko during the first half of the year totaled 88.4 million energy
equivalent barrels, with average daily production of 1.7 Bcf of natural gas
and 208,000 barrels of crude oil, condensate and NGLs.

    A conference call, during which Anadarko management will discuss second
quarter results with market analysts, will begin at 10:00 a.m. (CDST) today,
July 28, and will be broadcast live on Anadarko's corporate website at
