BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

GENERAL

The Company, a Delaware corporation organized in 1985, is engaged in the exploration for, and the development, production and marketing of, natural gas and crude oil primarily in major producing basins in the United States, as well as in Canada, Trinidad and India and, to a lesser extent, selected other international areas. At December 31, 1995, the Company's estimated net proved natural gas reserves were 3,343 billion cubic feet ("Bcf"), including 1,180 Bcf of proved undeveloped methane reserves in the Big Piney deep Paleozoic formations and amounts related to a volumetric production payment, and the Company's estimated net proved crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids reserves were 50 million barrels. At such date, approximately 78% of the Company's reserves (on a natural gas equivalent basis) was located in the United States, 10% in Canada, 8% in Trinidad and 4% in India.

The Company's business strategy is to maximize the rate of return on investment of capital by controlling both operating and capital costs. The Company has in the past and may in the future enter into various commodity market related mechanisms designed to enhance the certainty of future revenues as related to certain portions of its anticipated commodity sales volumes. This strategy enhances the generation of both income and cash flow from each unit of production and allows for the growth of production on a cost-effective basis by optimizing the reinvestment of cash flow. The Company implements its strategy by emphasizing the drilling of internally generated prospects in order to find and develop low cost reserves. Achieving and maintaining the lowest possible cost structure are also important goals in the implementation of the Company's strategy. Consistent with the Company's desire to optimize the use of its assets, it also maintains a strategy of selling selected oil and gas properties that for various reasons may no longer fit into future operating plans, or which are not assessed to have sufficient future growth potential and when the economic value to be obtained by selling the properties and reserves in the ground is evaluated to be greater than what would be obtained by holding the properties and producing the reserves over time. As a result, the Company typically receives each year a varying but substantial level of proceeds related to such sales which proceeds are available for general corporate use.

Unless the context requires otherwise, as used in this Prospectus the "Company" shall mean Enron Oil & Gas Company and its subsidiaries.

EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION

NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS

The Company's seven principal United States producing areas are the Big Piney area in northwest Wyoming, South Texas area, East Texas area, Offshore Gulf of Mexico area, Canyon Trend area in West Texas, Pitchfork Ranch area in southeast New Mexico and Vernal area in northeast Utah. Properties in these areas are substantially all operated by the Company, and comprised approximately 67% of the Company's United States reserves (on a natural gas equivalent basis) and 90% of the Company's maximum United States net natural gas deliverability as of December 31, 1995.

The Company's other United States natural gas and crude oil producing properties are located primarily in other areas of Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Oklahoma, California and Kansas.

At December 31, 1995, 95% of the Company's proved United States reserves (on a natural gas equivalent basis) was natural gas and 5% was crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids. A substantial portion of the Company's United States natural gas reserves is in long-lived fields with well-established production histories. The Company believes that opportunities exist to increase production in many of these fields through continued infill and other development drilling.

The Company also has natural gas and crude oil producing properties located in Western Canada, primarily in the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

3

OUTSIDE NORTH AMERICA OPERATIONS

The Company has operations offshore Trinidad and India, was recently awarded by Venezuela the rights to pursue development of reserves on the Gulf of Paria East Block offshore the eastern state of Sucre, and is conducting exploration in selected other international areas. Properties offshore Trinidad and India comprised 100% of the Company's proved reserves and production outside of North America at year end 1995.

MARKETING

Wellhead Marketing. The Company's North America wellhead natural gas production is currently being sold on the spot market and under long-term natural gas contracts at market responsive prices. In many instances, the long-term contract prices closely approximate the prices received for natural gas being sold on the spot market. Wellhead natural gas volumes from Trinidad are sold at prices that are based on a fixed price schedule with annual escalations. Natural gas volumes in India will be sold to the Gas Authority of India, Ltd. under a take-or-pay contract at a price linked to a basket of world market fuel oil quotations with floor and ceiling limits. Approximately 30% of the Company's wellhead natural gas production is currently being sold to pipeline and marketing subsidiaries of Enron Corp. The Company believes that the terms of its transactions and agreements with Enron Corp. and/or its affiliates are and intends that future such transactions and agreements will be at least as favorable to the Company as could be obtained from third parties.

Substantially all of the Company's wellhead crude oil and condensate is sold under various terms and arrangements at market responsive prices.

Other Marketing. Enron Oil & Gas Marketing, Inc. ("EOGM"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is a marketing company engaging in various marketing activities. Both the Company and EOGM contract to provide, under short-term and long-term agreements, natural gas to various purchasers and then aggregate the necessary supplies for the sales with purchases from various sources including third-party producers, marketing companies, pipelines or from the Company's own production. In addition, EOGM has purchased and constructed several small gathering systems in order to facilitate its entry into the gathering business on a limited basis. Both the Company and EOGM utilize other short and long-term hedging and trading mechanisms including sales and purchases utilizing NYMEX-related commodity market transactions. These marketing activities have provided an effective balance in managing a portion of the Company's exposure to commodity price risks for both natural gas and crude oil and condensate wellhead prices.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The Company intends to apply any net proceeds it receives from the sale of the Securities to its general funds to be used for general corporate purposes, including in certain circumstances to retire outstanding indebtedness. Any specific allocations of the proceeds to a particular purpose that has been made at the date of any Prospectus Supplement will be described therein. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds of the sale of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholder.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

The following description of the terms of the Debt Securities sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the Debt Securities to which any Prospectus Supplement may relate (the "Offered Debt Securities"). The particular terms of the Offered Debt Securities and the extent, if any, to which such general provisions may apply to the Offered Debt Securities are described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such Offered Securities.

The Debt Securities will be unsecured obligations of the Company issued under an Indenture (the "Indenture") between the Company and Texas Commerce Bank National Association, as Trustee (the "Trustee"), dated as of September 1, 1991. The following statements are summaries of certain provisions contained in the Indenture, the form of which is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. They do not purport to be complete statements of all the terms and provisions of the Indenture, and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for full and complete statements of such terms and provisions, including the definitions of certain terms used herein. Wherever reference is made in the following statements to a particular section of the Indenture, such section shall be deemed to be incorporated in such statements as a part thereof, and such statements are qualified in their entirety by such reference. The italicized references below are to the section numbers in the Indenture.

GENERAL

The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of unsecured debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness of the Company which may be issued thereunder from time to time in one or more series by the Company, and the Company may in the future issue additional securities (in addition to the Debt Securities) under the Indenture. Reference is made to the Prospectus Supplement for the following terms of the Offered Debt Securities: (i) the title of the Offered Debt Securities; (ii) any limit upon the aggregate principal amount of the Offered Debt Securities; (iii) the date or dates on which the principal of the Offered Debt Securities is payable; (iv) the rate or rates (which may be fixed or variable), or the method by which such rate or rates shall be determined, at which the Offered Debt Securities shall bear interest, if any, the date or dates from which such interest shall accrue, or the method by which such date or dates shall be determined, the interest payment dates on which such interest shall be payable and the regular record date for the interest payable on any interest payment date; (v) the place or places where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on Offered Debt Securities shall be payable; (vi) the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which and the terms and conditions upon which Offered Debt Securities may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, if the Company is to have that option; (vii) the obligation, if any, and the option, if any, of the Company to redeem, purchase or repay Offered Debt Securities pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of a holder thereof and the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which and the terms and conditions upon which Offered Debt Securities shall be redeemed, purchased or repaid in whole or in part, pursuant to such obligation or option; (viii) whether the Offered Debt Securities are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more permanent global securities and, if so, the identity of the depositary for such permanent global securities; (ix) any trustees, paying agents, transfer agents or registrars with respect to Offered Debt Securities; and (x) any other term of the Offered Debt Securities (which term shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture. (Section 301.)

The Company will maintain in each place specified by the Company for payment of any series of Offered Debt Securities an office or agency where Offered Debt Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Offered Debt Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Offered Debt Securities of that series and the Indenture may be served.

Unless otherwise indicated in the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto, the Offered Debt Securities will be issued only in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof. (Section 302.) No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of such Offered Debt

6

Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in relation thereto. (Section 305.)

Debt Securities may be issued under the Indenture as Original Issue Discount Securities to be offered and sold at a substantial discount below their principal amount. Special federal income tax, accounting and other considerations applicable to any such Original Issue Discount Securities will be described in any Prospectus Supplement relating thereto. "Original Issue Discount Securities" means any security which provides for an amount less than the principal amount thereof to be due and payable upon a Event of Default and the continuation thereof. (Section 101.)

Unless otherwise indicated in a Prospectus Supplement, the covenants contained in the Indenture and the Debt Securities would not necessarily afford holders of the Debt Securities protection in the event of a highly leveraged or other transaction involving the Company that may adversely affect holders.

PERMANENT GLOBAL DEBT SECURITIES

If any Offered Debt Securities are issuable in permanent global form, the applicable Prospectus Supplement will describe the circumstances, if any, under which beneficial owners of interests in any such permanent global Debt Security may exchange such interests for Debt Securities of such series and of like tenor and principal amount in any authorized form and denomination. (Section 305.) Principal of and any premium and interest on a permanent global Debt Security will be payable in the manner described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

LIMITATIONS ON LIENS

The Indenture provides that so long as any of the securities issued under the Indenture (including the Debt Securities) are outstanding, the Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, create or suffer to exist, except in favor of the Company or any Subsidiary, any Lien upon any Principal Property at any time owned by it, to secure any Funded Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary, unless effective provision is made whereby outstanding securities issued under the Indenture (including the Debt Securities) will be equally and ratably secured with any and all such Funded Debt and with any other indebtedness similarly entitled to be equally and ratably secured. This restriction does not apply to prevent the creation or existence of any: (a) Acquisition Lien or Permitted Encumbrance; or (b) Lien created or assumed by the Company or a Subsidiary in connection with the issuance of debt securities the interest on which is excludable from gross income of the holder of such security pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for the purpose of financing, in whole or in part, the acquisition or construction of property or assets to be used by the Company or a Subsidiary. In case the Company or any Subsidiary shall propose to create or permit to exist a Lien on any Principal Property at any time owned by it to secure any Funded Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary, other than Funded Debt permitted to be secured under clauses (a) or
(b) above, the Company will prior thereto give written notice thereof to the Trustee, and the Company will, or will cause such Subsidiary to, prior to or simultaneously with such creation or permission to exist, by supplemental indenture executed to the Trustee (or to the extent legally necessary to another trustee or additional or separate trustee), in form satisfactory to the Trustee, effectively secure all the securities issued under the Indenture equally and ratably with such Funded Debt and any other indebtedness entitled to be equally and ratably secured.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or a Subsidiary may issue, assume or guarantee Funded Debt secured by a Lien which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions in an aggregate amount which, together with all other Funded Debt of the Company or a Subsidiary secured by a Lien which (if originally issued, assumed or guaranteed at such time) would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions (not including Funded Debt permitted to be secured under the foregoing exception), does not at the time exceed 10% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company, as shown on the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of the end of the fiscal year preceding the date of determination. (Section 1007.)

7

The holder of more than 50% in principal amount of the outstanding securities issued under the Indenture (including the Debt Securities) may waive compliance by the Company with the covenant contained in Section 1007 of the Indenture (and certain other covenants of the Company). (Section 1009.)

The Indenture defines the term "Subsidiary" to mean a corporation more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company or by one or more other Subsidiaries, or by the Company and one or more other Subsidiaries. The term "Principal Property" is defined to mean any property interest in oil and gas reserves located in the United States or offshore the United States and owned by the Company or any Subsidiary and which is capable of producing crude oil, condensate, natural gas, natural gas liquids or other similar hydrocarbon substances in paying quantities, the net book value of which property interest exceeds two (2) percent of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, except any such property interest or interests that in the opinion of the Board of Directors is not of material importance to the total business conducted by the Company and its Subsidiaries as a whole. Without limitation, the term "Principal Property" shall not include (i) accounts receivable and other obligations of any obligor under a contract for the sale, exploration, production, drilling, development, processing or transportation of crude oil, condensate, natural gas, natural gas liquids or other similar hydrocarbon substances by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and all related rights of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and all guarantees, insurance, letters of credit and other agreements or arrangements of whatever character supporting or securing payment of such receivables or obligations, or (ii) the production or any proceeds from production of crude oil, condensate, natural gas, natural gas liquids or other similar hydrocarbon substances. (Section 101.)

The term "indebtedness," as applied to the Company or any Subsidiaries, is defined to mean bonds, debentures, notes and other instruments representing obligations created or assumed by any such corporation for the repayment of money borrowed (other than unamortized debt discount or premium). All indebtedness secured by a Lien upon property owned by the Company or any Subsidiary and upon which indebtedness any such corporation customarily pays interest, although any such corporation has not assumed or become liable for the payment of such indebtedness, is also deemed to be indebtedness of any such corporation. All indebtedness for money borrowed incurred by other persons which is directly guaranteed as to payment of principal by the Company or any Subsidiary is for all purposes of the Indenture deemed to be indebtedness of any such corporation, but no other contingent obligation of any such corporation in respect of indebtedness incurred by other persons is for any purpose deemed indebtedness of such corporation. Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary does not include (i) any amount representing capitalized lease obligations; (ii) indirect guarantees or other contingent obligations in connection with the indebtedness of others, including agreements, contingent or otherwise, with such persons or with third persons, with respect to, or to permit or ensure the payment of, obligations of such other persons, including, without limitation, agreements to purchase or repurchase obligations of such other persons, to advance or supply funds to or to invest in such other persons, or agreements to pay for property, products or services of such other persons (whether or not conferred, delivered or rendered), and any demand charge, throughput, take-or-pay, keep-well, make-whole, cash deficiency, maintenance of working capital or earnings or similar agreements; and (iii) any guarantees with respect to lease or other similar periodic payments to be made by other persons.
(Section 101.)

The term "Funded Debt" as applied to the Company or any Subsidiary is defined to mean all indebtedness incurred, created, assumed or guaranteed by the Company or any Subsidiary, or upon which such corporation customarily pays interest charges, which matures, or is renewable by such corporation to a date, more than one year after the date as of which Funded Debt is being determined.
(Section 101.)

"Lien" is defined to mean any mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest or similar charge or encumbrance. (Section 101.) "Acquisition Lien" is defined to mean any (i) Lien upon any property acquired before or after the date of the Indenture, created at the time of acquisition or within one year thereafter to secure all or a portion of the purchase price thereof, or existing thereon at the date of acquisition, whether or not assumed by the Company or any Subsidiary, provided that any such Lien applies only to the property so acquired and fixed improvements thereon, (ii) Lien upon any property acquired before or after the date of the Indenture by any corporation that is or becomes a Subsidiary after the date of the Indenture ("Acquired Entity"), provided that any such Lien (1) shall either (A) exist prior to the time the Acquired Entity becomes a Subsidiary or (B) be created at the time the Acquired Entity becomes a Subsidiary or within one year thereafter to secure all or a

8

portion of the acquisition price thereof and (2) shall only apply to those properties owned by the Acquired Entity at the time it becomes a subsidiary or thereafter acquired by it from sources other than the Company or any other Subsidiary, and (iii) any extension, renewal or refunding, in whole or in part, of any Lien permitted by clause (i) or (ii) above, if limited to the same property or any portion thereof subject to, and securing not more than the amount secured by, the Lien extended, renewed or refunded. (Section 101.)

"Permitted Encumbrance" is defined to mean any (a) Lien reserved in any oil, gas or other mineral lease for rent, royalty or delay rental under such lease and for compliance with the terms of such lease; (b) Lien for any judgments or attachments in an aggregate amount not in excess of $10,000,000, or Lien for any judgment or attachment the execution or enforcement of which has been stayed or which has been appealed and secured, if necessary, by the filing of an appeal bond; (c) sale or other transfer of crude oil, condensate, natural gas, natural gas liquids or other similar hydrocarbon substances in place, or the future production thereof, for a period of time until, or in an amount such that, the transferee will realize therefrom a specified amount (however determined) of money or a specified amount of such crude oil, condensate, natural gas, natural gas liquids or other similar hydrocarbon substances or the sale or other transfer of any other interest in property of the character commonly referred to as a "production payment," "overriding royalty," "net profits interest," "royalty" or similar burden on any oil and gas property or mineral interest owned by the Company or any Subsidiary; (d) Lien consisting of or reserved in any (i) grant or conveyance in the nature of a farm-out or conditional assignment to the Company or any Subsidiary entered into in the ordinary course of business to secure any undertaking of the Company or any Subsidiary in such grant or conveyance, (ii) interest of an assignee in any proved undeveloped lease or proved undeveloped portion of any producing property transferred to such assignee for the purpose of the development of such lease or property, (iii) unitization or pooling agreement or declaration, (iv) contract for the sale, purchase, exchange or processing of production, or (v) operating agreement, area of mutual interest agreement and other agreement which is customary in the oil and gas business and which agreement does not materially detract from the value, or materially impair the use of, the properties affected thereby; (e) Lien arising out of any forward contract, futures contract, swap agreement or other commodities contract entered into by the Company or any Subsidiary; (f) Lien on any oil and gas property of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, or on production therefrom, to secure any liability of the Company or such Subsidiary for all or part of the Development Cost for such property under any joint operating, drilling or similar agreement for exploration, drilling or development of such property, or any renewal or extension of such Lien; or (g) certain other Liens as described in the Indenture. (Section 101.)

MODIFICATION OF THE INDENTURE

With certain exceptions, the Indenture provides that, with the consent of the holders of more than 50% in principal amount of all outstanding securities issued under the Indenture (the "Indenture Securities") (including, where applicable, the Debt Securities) affected thereby, the Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture for the purpose of adding to, changing or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of Indenture Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of the holder of each outstanding Indenture Security affected thereby will be required to: (a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Indenture Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or change any Place of Payment where, or change the coin or currency in which, any Indenture Security or any premium or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date); (b) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Indenture Securities of any series, the consent of whose holders is required for any supplemental indenture or for any waiver provided for in the Indenture; or
(c) with certain exceptions, modify any of the provisions of the section of the Indenture which concern waiver of past defaults, waiver of certain covenants or consent to supplemental indentures, except to increase the percentage of principal amount of Indenture Securities of any series, the holders of which are required to effect such waiver or consent or to provide that certain other provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Indenture Security affected thereby. The Indenture provides that a supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of the Indenture which has expressly been

9

included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Indenture Securities, or which modifies the rights of the holders of Indenture Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision shall be deemed not to affect the rights under the Indenture of the holder of Indenture Securities of any other series. (Section 902.)

EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT

Under the Indenture, the term "Event of Default" with respect to any series of Indenture Securities, means any one of the following events which shall have occurred and is continuing: (a) default in the payment of any interest upon any Indenture Security of that series when it becomes due and payable or default in the payment of any mandatory sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of any series of Indenture Securities, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; (b) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Indenture Security of that series at its Maturity; (c) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company in the Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is otherwise specifically dealt with in the Indenture or which has been expressly included in the Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of Indenture Securities other than that series), and continuance of such default or breach for 60 days after there has been given to the Company by the Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of all outstanding Indenture Securities, a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" under the Indenture; or (d) certain events involving the Company in bankruptcy, receivership or other insolvency proceedings or an assignment for the benefit of creditors (Section 501.)

If an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) in the foregoing paragraph has occurred and is continuing with respect to Indenture Securities of any series, the Indenture provides that the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Indenture Securities of that series may declare the principal amount of all of the Indenture Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration such principal amount shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in clause (c) or (d) of the foregoing paragraph occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of not less that 25% in principal amount of all of the Indenture Securities then outstanding may declare the principal amount of all of the Indenture Securities to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration such principal amount shall become immediately due and payable. (Section 502.)

A default under other indebtedness of the Company is not an Event of Default under the Indenture, and an Event of Default under one series of Indenture Securities will not necessarily be an Event of Default under another series.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Indenture Securities of any series (or of all series, as the case may be) has been made and before judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Indenture Securities of that series (or of all series, as the case may be) may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, if subject to certain conditions, all Events of Default with respect to Indenture Securities of that series (or of all series, as the case may be), other than the non-payment of the principal of the Indenture Securities due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived and all payments due (other than by acceleration) have been paid or deposited with the Trustee. (Section 502.) With certain exceptions, the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Indenture Securities of any series, on behalf of the holders of all the Indenture Securities of such series, may waive any past default described in clause (a) or (b) of the first paragraph of this heading "Events of Default and Rights Upon Default" (or, in the case of a default described in clause (c) or (d) of such paragraph, the holders of a majority in principal amount of all outstanding Indenture Securities may waive any such past default), and its consequences, except a default (a) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Indenture Security, or (b) in respect to a covenant or provision of the Indenture which under the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Indenture Security of such series affected. (Section 513.)

10

The holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Indenture Securities of any series at the time outstanding are empowered under the terms of the Indenture, subject to certain limitations, to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. (Section 512.)

The Indenture further provides that no holder of an Indenture Security of any series may enforce the Indenture except in the case of failure by the Trustee to act for 60 days after notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Indenture Securities of that series and after request by the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Indenture Securities of such series and the offer to the Trustee of reasonable indemnity, but this provision will not prevent a holder of any Indenture Security from enforcing the payment of the principal of, and interest on, such holder's Indenture Security. (Section 507 and 508.)

The Indenture requires that the Company deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers' Certificate, stating whether to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance of certain of the terms of the Indenture, and if so, specifying each such default and the nature and status thereof of which the signers may have knowledge. (Section 1008.)

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

With certain exceptions, the Company may discharge its obligations under the Indenture with respect to any series of Indenture Securities by (i) paying or causing to be paid the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all the Indenture Securities of such series outstanding, as and when the same shall become due and payable; (ii) delivering to the Trustee all outstanding Indenture Securities of such series for cancellation; or (iii) entering into an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee providing for the creation of an escrow fund and depositing in trust with the Trustee, as escrow agent of such fund, sufficient funds in cash and/or Eligible Obligations and/or U.S. Government Obligations, maturing as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times, as will be sufficient to pay at the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date all such Indenture Securities of such series not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal (and premium, if any) and interest to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date.
(Section 401.)

The Indenture defines "Eligible Obligations" to mean interest bearing obligations as a result of the deposit of which the Indenture Securities are rated in the highest generic long-term debt rating category assigned to legally defeased debt by one or more nationally recognized rating agencies. (Section 101).

For federal income tax purposes, there is a substantial risk that a legal defeasance of a series of Indenture Securities by the deposit of cash, Eligible Obligations, or U.S. Government Obligations in a trust would be characterized by the Internal Revenue Service or a court as a taxable exchange by the holders of the Indenture Securities of that series for either (i) an issue of obligations of the defeasance trust or (ii) a direct interest in the cash and/or Eligible Obligations and/or U.S. Government Obligations held in the defeasance trust. If the defeasance were so characterized, then a holder of an Indenture Security of the series defeased would be: (i) required to recognize gain or loss (which would be capital gain or loss if the Indenture Securities were held as a capital asset) at the time of the defeasance as if the Indenture Security had been sold at such time for an amount equal to the amount of cash and the fair market value of the Eligible Obligations and/or U.S. Government Obligations held in the defeasance trust; (ii) required to include in income in each taxable year the interest and any original issue discount or gain or loss attributable to either such defeasance trust obligations or such securities, as the case may be; and
(iii) subject to the market discount provisions of the Internal Revenue Code as they may pertain to such defeasance trust obligations or such securities. As a result, a holder of an Indenture Security may be required to pay taxes on any such gain or income even though such holder may not have received any cash therefrom. Prospective investors are urged to consult their own advisors as to the tax consequences of an actual or legal defeasance, including the applicability and effect of tax laws other than Federal income tax law.

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

Texas Commerce Bank National Association, 712 Main Street, Houston, Texas 77002, is the Trustee under the Indenture. Such bank may from time to time also act as a depository of funds for, make loans to, and perform other services for, the Company, or its affiliates in the normal course of business. Forrest E. Hoglund, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, and a Director of the Company, is also an advisory director of Texas Commerce Bank National Association.

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding securities issued under the Indenture will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The Indenture provides that if an Event of Default occurs (and is not cured), the Trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent person in the conduct of such person's own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request of any holder of securities issued under the Indenture, unless such holder shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense and then only to the extent required by the terms of the Indenture. The Trustee may resign at any time or may be removed by the Company. If the Trustee resigns, is removed or becomes incapable of acting as Trustee or if a vacancy occurs in the office of the Trustee for any cause, a successor Trustee shall be appointed in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

If the Trustee shall have or acquire any "conflicting interest" within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and the Indenture. (Section 608.) The Trust Indenture Act also contains certain limitations on the right of the Trustee, as a creditor of the Company, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received by it in respect of such claims, as security or otherwise. (Section 613.)

(1) Enron Corp. has previously issued certain Exchangeable Notes, which at maturity may be exchanged for no more than 10,500,000 shares of Common Stock owned by Enron Corp., subject to adjustment under certain circumstances and to Enron Corp.'s option to pay an amount in cash in lieu of such mandatory exchange. The shares that may be delivered upon exchange therefor are beneficially owned by Enron Corp. until such time, if any, as they are delivered at maturity of the Exchangeable Notes. If the maximum number of shares of Common Stock are delivered at maturity of the Exchangeable Notes, Enron Corp. will beneficially own 83,860,000 shares of Common Stock or approximately 52.5% of the outstanding shares.

(2) The Selling Stockholder may sell from time to time a number of shares of Common Stock totaling up to an aggregate initial offering price of no greater than $400 million.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND ENRON CORP.

Ownership of Common Stock. Through its ability to elect all of the directors of the Company, Enron Corp. has the ability to control all matters relating to the management of the Company, including any determination with respect to acquisitions or dispositions of Company assets, future issuance of common stock or other securities of the Company and any dividends payable on the Common Stock. Enron Corp. also has the ability to control the Company's exploration, development, acquisition and operating expenditure plans. There is no agreement between Enron Corp. and the Company that would prevent Enron Corp. from acquiring additional shares of Common Stock of the Company.

Contractual Arrangements. The Company entered into a Services Agreement (the "Services Agreement") with Enron Corp. effective January 1, 1994, pursuant to which Enron Corp. provides various services, such as maintenance of certain employee benefit plans, provision of telecommunications and computer services, lease of office space and the provision of purchasing and operating services and certain other corporate staff and support services. Such services historically have been supplied to the Company by Enron Corp., and the Services Agreement provides for the further delivery of such services substantially identical in nature and quality to those services previously provided. The Company has agreed to a fixed rate for the rental of office space and to reimburse Enron Corp. for all other direct costs incurred in rendering services to the Company under the contract and to pay Enron Corp. for allocated indirect costs incurred in rendering such services up to a maximum of approximately $7.5 million in 1996. The limit on cost for the allocated indirect services provided by Enron Corp. to the Company will increase in subsequent years for inflation and certain changes in the Company's allocation bases, but such increase will not exceed 7.5% per year. The Services Agreement is for an initial term through December 1998 and will continue thereafter until terminated by either party.

In March 1995, in a series of transactions with Enron Corp. and an affiliate of Enron Corp., the Company exchanged all of its fuel supply and purchase contracts and related price swap agreements associated with a Texas City cogeneration plant (the "Cogen Contracts") for certain natural gas price swap agreements (the "Swap Agreements") of equivalent value. As a result of the transactions, the Company has been relieved of all performance obligations associated with the Cogen Contracts. Under the terms of the Swap Agreements, the Company will realize net operating revenues and receive corresponding cash payments of approximately $91 million during the period extending through December 31, 1999. The estimated fair value of the Swap Agreements was approximately $81 million at the effective date the Swap Agreements. The net of this series of transactions has resulted/will result in increases in net operating revenues and cash receipts for the Company during 1995 and 1996 of approximately $13 million and $7 million, respectively, with offsetting decreases in 1998 and 1999 versus that anticipated under the Cogen Contracts.

Prior to December 14, 1995, the Company was included in the consolidated federal income tax return filed by Enron Corp. as the common parent for itself and its subsidiaries and affiliated companies, excluding any foreign subsidiaries. Effective December 14, 1995 the Company and Enron Corp. entered into a new tax allocation agreement pursuant to which, among other things, Enron Corp. has agreed (in exchange for the payment of $13.0 million by the Company) to be liable for, and indemnify the Company against, all United States federal and state income taxes and certain foreign taxes imposed on the Company for periods prior to December 14, 1995, the date Enron Corp. reduced its ownership in the Company to less than 80%. The Company does not believe that the cessation of consolidated tax reporting with Enron Corp. and effectiveness of the former tax allocation agreement concurrently with deconsolidation or the terms of the new tax allocation agreement will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Conflicts of Interest. The nature of the respective businesses of the Company and Enron Corp. and its affiliates is such as to potentially give rise to conflicts of interest between the two companies. Conflicts could arise, for example, with respect to transactions involving purchases, sales and transportation of natural gas and other business dealings between the Company and Enron Corp. and its affiliates, potential acquisitions of businesses or oil and gas properties, the issuance of additional shares of voting securities, the election of directors or the payment of dividends by the Company.

14

Circumstances may also arise that would cause Enron Corp. to engage in the exploration for and/or development and production of natural gas and crude oil in competition with the Company. For example, opportunities might arise which would require financial resources greater than those available to the Company, which are located in areas or countries in which the Company does not intend to operate or which involve properties that the Company would be unwilling to acquire. Also, Enron Corp. might acquire a competing oil and gas business as part of a larger acquisition. In addition, as part of Enron Corp.'s strategy of securing supplies of natural gas or capital, Enron Corp. may from time to time acquire producing properties or interests in entities owning producing properties, and thereafter engage in exploration, development and production activities with respect to such properties or indirectly engage in such activities through such companies. Enron Corp. subsidiaries provide or arrange financing, including debt or equity financing, for exploration and production companies that compete with the Company. In connection with such activities, Enron Corp. affiliates may make investments in the debt or equity of such companies. In its financing activities, Enron Corp. or an entity in which it has an interest may make loans secured by oil and gas properties or securities of oil and gas companies, may acquire production payments or may receive interests in oil and gas properties as equity components of lending transactions. As a result of its lending activities, Enron Corp. may also acquire oil and gas properties or companies upon foreclosure of secured loans or as part of a borrower's rearrangement of its obligations. Such acquisition, exploration, development and production activities may directly or indirectly compete with the Company's business. There can be no assurances that Enron Corp. will not engage directly or indirectly through entities other than the Company, in the natural gas and crude oil exploration, development and production business in competition with the Company.

Joint Energy Development Investments Limited Partnership ("JEDI"), a limited partnership in which a subsidiary of Enron Corp. owns a 50% general partner interest, owns controlling interests in Coda Energy, Inc., and Mariner Holdings, Inc. Such companies are engaged in the exploration for, and the development, production and marketing of, natural gas and crude oil. Conflicts may arise between these companies and the Company, and Enron Corp. will be required to resolve such conflicts in a manner that is consistent with its fiduciary and contractual duties to other investors in these companies and its fiduciary duties to the Company. Enron Corp. has entered into agreements with these companies and other investors in these companies designed to minimize certain conflicts of interest that may arise and providing, among other things, that the Company has no obligation to offer any business opportunities to these companies.

The Company and Enron Corp. and its affiliates have in the past entered into material intercompany transactions and agreements incident to their respective businesses, and the Company and Enron Corp. and its affiliates may be expected to enter into material transactions and agreements from time to time in the future. Such transactions and agreements have related to, among other things, the purchase and sale of natural gas and crude oil, the financing of exploration and development efforts by the Company, and the provision of certain corporate services. The Company believes that its existing transactions and agreements with Enron Corp. and its affiliates have been at least as favorable to the Company as could be obtained from third parties, and the Company intends that the terms of any future transactions and agreements between the Company and Enron Corp. and its affiliates will be at least as favorable to the Company as could be obtained from third parties.

15

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

AUTHORIZED AND OUTSTANDING CAPITAL STOCK

The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 320,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value, of which 159,849,840 shares were outstanding on August 1, 1996. The following summary description of the capital stock of the Company is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.

The Common Stock possesses ordinary voting rights for the election of directors and in respect to other corporate matters, each share being entitled to one vote. There are no cumulative voting rights, meaning that the holders of a majority of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect all the directors if they choose to do so. The Common Stock carries no preemptive rights and is not convertible, redeemable or assessable, or entitled to the benefits of any sinking fund. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to dividends in such amounts and at such times as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor.

Upon liquidation or dissolution, holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all net assets available for distribution to stockholders after payment of any corporate debts. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

The transfer agent and registrar of the Common Stock is First Chicago Trust Company of New York, Jersey City, New Jersey.

LIMITATION ON DIRECTORS' LIABILITY

Delaware corporation law authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breach of directors' fiduciary duty of care. The duty of care requires that, when acting on behalf of the corporation, directors must exercise an informed business judgment based on all material information reasonably available to them. Absent the limitations authorized by such laws, directors are accountable to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for conduct constituting gross negligence in the exercise of their duty of care. The Delaware laws enable corporations to limit available relief to equitable remedies such as injunction or rescission. The Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Company limits the liability of directors of the Company to the Company or its stockholders (in their capacity as directors but not in their capacity as officers) to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware law. Specifically, directors of the Company will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of a director's fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

This provision in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors, and may discourage or deter stockholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their duty of care, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited the Company and its stockholders.

16

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Company and/or the Selling Stockholder may sell the Securities offered hereby (i) through underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents; or (ii) directly to purchasers. In addition, the Selling Stockholder may sell any shares of Common Stock offered hereby from time to time in transactions (including block transactions in which the Selling Stockholder is the seller) on the NYSE or any other exchange on which the Common Stock may be traded, or in the over-the-counter market. The Selling Stockholder may also sell shares of Common Stock in special offerings, exchange distributions or secondary distributions in accordance with the rules of the NYSE or such other exchange, in negotiated transactions, including through the writing of call options or the purchase of put options on shares of the Common Stock (whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise), or otherwise. The Selling Stockholder may effect such transactions by selling shares of the Common Stock to or through underwriters, dealers, brokers or agents. Such underwriters, dealers, brokers or agents may sell such shares to institutional purchasers in one or more transactions (including block transactions) on the NYSE or otherwise. Any sales of the Securities may be made at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Except for sales of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholder on the New York Stock Exchange at prevailing market prices, the Prospectus Supplement with respect to the Securities will set forth the terms of the offering of the Securities, including the name or names of any underwriters or agents, the purchase price of the Securities and the proceeds to the Company and/or the Selling Stockholder from such sale, any delayed delivery arrangements, any underwriting discounts and commissions and other items constituting underwriters' compensation, any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers. Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

If underwriters are used in the sale, the Securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. In connection with the sale of the Securities, underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may be deemed to have received compensation from the Company or the Selling Stockholder in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and may also receive commissions from purchasers of the Securities for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal. Underwriters or agents may sell the Securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agent. The Securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. The underwriter or underwriters with respect to a particular underwritten offering of Securities will be named in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such offering and, if an underwriting syndicate is used, the managing underwriter or underwriters will be set forth on the cover of such Prospectus Supplement. Unless otherwise set forth in the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the Securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the Securities offered if any are purchased.

If dealers are utilized in the sale of Securities, the Company and/or the Selling Stockholder will sell such Securities to the dealers as principals. The dealers may then resell such Securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealers at the time of resale. The names of dealers or brokers acting as dealers and the terms of the transaction will be set forth in the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto.

The Securities may be sold directly by the Company and/or the Selling Stockholder or through agents designated by the Company and/or the Selling Stockholder from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of the Securities in respect to which this Prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable by the Company and/or the Selling Stockholder to such agent will be set forth, in the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto. Unless otherwise indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

If so indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, the Company and/or the Selling Stockholder will authorize agents, underwriters, brokers or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase Securities

17

from the Company and/or the Selling Stockholder at the public offering price set forth in the Prospectus Supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. Such contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, and the Prospectus Supplement will set forth the commission payable for solicitation of such contracts.

The Securities (other than the Common Stock), when first issued, will have no established trading market. Any underwriters or agents to or through whom Securities are sold by the Company or the Selling Stockholder for public offering and sale may make a market in such Securities, but such underwriters or agents will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for any such Securities.

Agents, brokers, dealers and underwriters may be entitled under agreements with the Company and/or the Selling Stockholder to indemnification by the Company against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which such agents, brokers, dealers or underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof. Agents, brokers, dealers and underwriters may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for the Company or the Selling Stockholder in the ordinary course of business.

VALIDITY OF SECURITIES

The validity of the Securities offered hereby will be passed upon for the Company by Barry Hunsaker, Jr., Esq., Senior Vice President and General Counsel of the Company, and for the Underwriters by Bracewell & Patterson, L.L.P. Mr. Hunsaker owns substantially less than 1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.

The Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Company (the "Corporation" therein) contains the following provisions relating to indemnification of directors and officers, namely:

"Eighth: A.1. A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

2. The foregoing provisions of this Article shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the effective date of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Any repeal or amendment of this Article by the stockholders of the Corporation shall be prospective only and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or amendment. In addition to the circumstances in which a director of the Corporation is not personally liable as set forth in the foregoing provisions of this Article, a director shall not be liable to the fullest extent permitted by any amendment to the Delaware General Corporation Law enacted that further limits the liability of a director.

B.1. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer, of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent

II-1


and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in paragraph 2. hereof, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article or otherwise. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

2. If a claim under paragraph B.1. of this Article is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

3. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

4. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

5. If this Article or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each director, officer, employee and agent of the Corporation, and may nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each employee and agent of the Corporation, as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article that shall not have been invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law.

6. For purposes of this Article, reference to the "Corporation" shall include, in addition to the Corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger prior to (or, in the case of an entity specifically designated in a resolution of the

II-2


Board of Directors, after) the adoption hereof and which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had the power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued."

The Form of Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 1 hereto, under certain specified circumstances, provides for indemnification by the Underwriters of the directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company.

The Company has purchased liability insurance policies covering the directors and officers of the Company to provide protection where the Company cannot legally indemnify a director or officer and where a claim arises under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 against a director or officer based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty or other wrongful act.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to each Registration Statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required in Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of each Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement;

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(5) To deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented

II-4


by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Gentlemen:

As Senior Vice President and General Counsel of Enron Oil & Gas Company, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), I am familiar with its Registration Statement No. 33-42620 on Form S-3 declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on September 27, 1991, and the Registration Statement on Form S-3 currently being filed with the Commission (collectively, the "Registration Statement") relating to the proposed offering from time to time of (i) up to an aggregate amount of $400 million of Company Debt Securities and/or Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the Debt Securities and Common Stock collectively referred to herein as the "Securities"). In connection therewith, I have examined, among other things, a copy of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, the corporate proceedings taken to date with respect to the authorization, issuance and sale of the Securities, a copy of the Indenture dated as of September 1, 1991 (the "Indenture") between the Company and Texas Commerce Bank National Association, as Trustee, and I have performed such other investigations as I have considered appropriate as the basis for the opinions expressed herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are used as defined in the Registration Statement.

Based on the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

(1) The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

(2) The Debt Securities of the Company have been validly authorized for issuance, and (subject to the Registration Statement becoming effective and any applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws being complied with), when the terms thereof and of their issue and sale have been duly established, upon issuance and delivery thereof as set forth in the Registration Statement, and upon receipt by the Company of the purchase price thereof, the Debt Securities will be validly issued and will be binding obligations of the Company.

(3) The issuance of the Common Stock to be issued by the Company has been duly authorized, and (subject to the Registration Statement becoming effective and applicable Blue sky laws being complied with), when the terms of their issue and sale have been duly established, upon the issuance and delivery thereof as set forth in the Registration Statement, and upon the receipt by the Company of the purchase price thereof, the Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.


(4) The shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Selling Stockholder are, and upon sale will be, validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

I am a member of the bar of the State of Texas. The opinion set forth above is limited in all respects to the laws of the State of Texas, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and federal law.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the references to me under the caption "Validity of Securities" in the Prospectus constituting part of the Registration Statement and to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit thereto. By giving such consent I do not admit that I am an expert with respect to any part of the Registration Statement, including this exhibit, within the meaning of the term "expert" as used in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued thereunder.

Very truly yours,

BARRY HUNSAKER, JR.

Part II. Loans to Small Businesses and Small Farms

Schedule RC-C, Part II is to be reported only with the June Report of Condition.


Report the number and amount currently outstanding as of June 30 of business loans with "original amounts" of $1,000,000 or less and
farm loans with "original amounts" of $500,000 or less. The following guidelines should be used to determine the "original amount"
of a loan: (1) For loans drawn down under lines of credit or loan commitments, the "original amount" of the loan is the size of the
line of credit or loan commitment when the line of credit or loan commitment was most recently approved, extended, or renewed prior
to the report date. However, if the amount currently outstanding as of the report date exceeds this size, the "original amount" is
the amount currently outstanding on the report date. (2) For loan participations and syndications, the "original amount" of the
loan participation or syndication is the entire amount of the credit originated by the lead lender. (3) For all other loans, the
"original amount" is the total amount of the loan at origination or the amount currently outstanding as of the report date,
whichever is larger.

 2. Estimated amount of uninsured deposits in domestic offices of the bank:

    a. An estimate of your bank's uninsured deposits can be determined by multiplying the number of deposit accounts of more than
       $100,000 reported in Memorandum item 1.b.(2) above by $100,000 and subtracting the result from the amount of deposit
       accounts of more than $100,000 reported in Memorandum item 1.b.(1) above.

Schedule RC-R--Regulatory Capital

This schedule must be completed by all banks as follows:  Banks that reported total assets of $1 billion or more in Schedule RC,
item 12, for June 30, 1995, must complete items 2 through 9 and Memoranda items 1 and 2.  Banks with assets of less than $1 billion
must complete items 1 through 3 below or Schedule RC-R in its entirety, depending on their response to item 1 below.

                                                                                                             ------------

1. Test for determining the extent to which Schedule RC-R must be completed.  To be                     ----- ----------
   completed only by banks with total assets of less than $1 billion.  Indicate in the                  | YES        NO |
   appropriate box at the right whether the bank has total capital greater than or          ------------ ---------------
   equal to eight percent of adjusted total assets ........................................ | RCFD 6056 |     |////|    | 1.
                                                                                            -----------------------------

     For purposes of this test, adjusted total assets equals total assets less cash, U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Government
   agency obligations, and 80 percent of U.S. Government-sponsored agency obligations plus the allowance for
   loan and lease losses and selected off-balance sheet items as reported on Schedule RC-L (see instructions).

     If the box marked YES has been checked, then the bank only has to complete items 2 and 3 below.  If the box marked
   NO has been checked, the bank must complete the remainder of this schedule.

     A NO response to item 1 does not necessarily mean that the bank's actual risk-based capital ratio is less than
   eight percent or that the bank is not in compliance with the risk-based capital guidelines.

Texas Commerce Bank National Association                           Houston                             Texas


Legal Title of Bank                                                City                                State





The management of the reporting bank may, if it wishes, submit a brief narrative statement on the amounts reported in the Reports
of Condition and Income. This optional statement will be made available to the public, along with the publicly available data in
the Reports of Condition and Income, in response to any request for individual bank report data. However, the information reported
in column A and in all of Memorandum item 1 of Schedule RC-N is regarded as confidential and will not be released to the public.
BANKS CHOOSING TO SUBMIT THE NARRATIVE STATEMENT SHOULD ENSURE THAT THE STATEMENT DOES NOT CONTAIN THE NAMES OR OTHER
IDENTIFICATIONS OF INDIVIDUAL BANK CUSTOMERS, REFERENCES TO THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE CONFIDENTIAL ITEMS IN SCHEDULE RC-N, OR
ANY OTHER INFORMATION THAT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO HAVE MADE PUBLIC OR THAT WOULD COMPROMISE THE PRIVACY OF THEIR CUSTOM- ERS.
Banks choosing not to make a statement may check the "No comment" box below and should make no entries of any kind in the space
provided for the narrative statement; i.e., DO NOT enter in this space such phrases as "No statement," "Not applicable," "N/A," "No
comment," and "None."

The optional statement must be entered on this sheet. The statement should not exceed 100 words. Further, regardless of the number
of words, the statement must not exceed 750 characters, including punctuation, indentation, and standard spacing between words and
sentences. If any submission should exceed 750 characters, as defined, it will be truncated at 750 characters with no notice to the
submitting bank and the truncated statement will appear as the bank's statement both on agency computerized records and in
computer-file releases to the public.

All information furnished by the bank in the narrative statement must be accurate and not misleading. Appropriate efforts shall be
taken by the submitting bank to ensure the statement's accuracy. The statement must be signed, in the space provided below, by a
senior officer of the bank who thereby attests to its accuracy.

If, subsequent to the original submission, material changes are submitted for the data reported in the Reports of Condition and
Income, the existing narrative statement will be deleted from the files, and from disclosure; the bank, at its option, may replace
it with a statement, under signature, appropriate to the amended data.

The optional narrative statement will appear in agency records and in release to the public exactly as submitted (or amended as
described in the preceding paragraph) by the management of the bank (except for the truncation of statements exceeding the
750-character limit described above). THE STATEMENT WILL NOT BE EDITED OR SCREENED IN ANY WAY BY THE SUPERVISORY AGENCIES FOR
ACCURACY OR RELEVANCE. DISCLOSURE OF THE STATEMENT SHALL NOT SIGNIFY THAT ANY FEDERAL SUPERVISORY AGENCY HAS VERIFIED OR CONFIRMED
THE ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED THEREIN. A STATEMENT TO THIS EFFECT WILL APPEAR ON ANY PUBLIC RELEASE OF THE OPTIONAL
STATEMENT SUBMITTED BY THE MANAGEMENT OF THE REPORTING BANK.

LOANS TO EXECUTIVE OFFICERS (Complete as of each Call Report Date)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following information is required by Public Laws 90-44 and 102-242, but does not constitute a part of the Report of Condition.
With each Report of Condition, these Laws require all banks to furnish a report of all loans or other extensions of credit to
their executive officers made since the date of the previous Report of Condition.  Data regarding individual loans or other
extensions of credit are not required.  If no such loans or other extensions of credit were made during the period, insert "none"
against subitem (a).  (Exclude the first $15,000 of indebtedness of each executive officer under bank credit card plan.)  See
Sections 215.2 and 215.3 of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations (Federal Reserve Board Regulation O) for the definitions
of "executive officer" and "extension of credit," respectively.  Exclude loans and other extensions of credit to directors and
principal shareholders who are not executive officers.
