    NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (in millions)


Note 1: Basis of Presentation. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
balance sheet is based on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets of Amerada
Hess Corporation (the Corporation) and Triton Energy Limited (Triton) at June
30, 2001. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income
are based on the unaudited statements of income for the six-months ended June
30, 2001 and the audited statements of income for the year ended December 31,
2000 of the Corporation and Triton. The Corporation's and Triton's consolidated
financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles and require estimates that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities.

The Corporation will account for the acquisition of Triton using the accounting
standards established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard Nos. 141,
Business Combinations, and 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. FAS 141
requires use of the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. FAS
142 requires that goodwill not be amortized and that goodwill be reviewed for
impairment at least annually.

The unaudited pro forma financial statements are only illustrative. They are
based on assumptions and do not purport to be indicative of the results of
operations or the financial position that would have actually occurred if the
combination had been consummated on the dates indicated or that may be expected
in the future.


Note 2: Accounting Policies and Financial Statement Classifications. The
Corporation uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas
exploration and production; Triton used the full cost method. The pro forma
adjustments include entries that conform Triton's accounting to the successful
efforts method. All other accounting policies of the combining companies are
substantially comparable.

Certain items in the consolidated financial statements of Triton have been
reclassified to conform to the line-item presentation in the pro forma financial
statements.

Note 3: Pro Forma Adjustments. The unaudited pro forma financial statements
reflect the merger using the purchase method of accounting.

The following pro forma adjustments reflect estimates and assumptions made by
the Corporation:

Pro Forma Balance Sheet

    (a)  To record Amerada Hess Corporation cash paid, debt incurred and
         transaction costs accrued to acquire Triton.

    (b)  To record the exercise of outstanding Triton stock options at the
         closing date.

    (c)  To reclassify and conform line item presentation.

    (d)  To record assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair market value,
         including property, plant and equipment, investment in an oil and gas
         corporate joint venture and debt.

    (e)  To record goodwill (excess of purchase price over fair value of net
         assets acquired).

    (f)  To accrue Triton transaction costs related to the acquisition.

    (g)  To record additional deferred income taxes resulting from acquisition.

    (h)  To record liability for purchase of remaining shares (approximately
         2.7% of outstanding Triton stock).

    (i)  To eliminate Triton's stockholder equity accounts.


Pro Forma Income Statement

    (j)  To record adjustments to convert Triton to the successful efforts
         method of accounting for oil and gas operations and to reclassify and
         conform line item presentation.

    (k)  To record interest expense on debt used to finance the acquisition. The
         interest rate is approximately 6.2%.

    (l)  To record capitalized interest on projects under development.

    (m)  To record additional depreciation, depletion and amortization based on
         the units of production method.

    (n)  To record income tax effects on the pro forma adjustments based on
         estimated tax rates.

                                       6

Note 4: Pro Forma Earnings Per Share. The pro forma income per share is based
on pro forma income and the weighted average number of outstanding common
shares. Diluted income per share includes the effect of dilutive securities,
including stock options.


Note 5: Cost Savings and Integration Related Expenses. The unaudited pro forma
financial statements do not reflect any anticipated cost savings or efficiencies
resulting from combining operations.
