09/30/93       PETROLEUM NEWS & QUOTES

     Crude-oil  and  products  prices  strengthened  further Thursday in a      
follow-through to  the  previous  day's  OPEC  accord,  with  traders  showing  
confidence  the  cartel  might  have  succeeded  in bringing some semblance of  
production discipline among its members.                                        
    Recalcitrant cartel members accepted quotas below what they  had  demanded  
when the oil ministers first convened last weekend in Geneva.                   
    A  federal  judge  has  ordered   Shell Oil, Atlantic Richfield, Texaco,    
Union Oil of California as well as the property owner  McAuley LCX  Corp        
to  pay  for  cleaning  up  toxic  waste  at  a suburban Los Angeles dump, the  
Environmental Protection Agency said Thursday.                                  
    The  companies  were ordered to reimburse the government for more than $25  
million authorities have already spent on the  site,  which  falls  under  the  
federal  Superfund toxic-waste law. Officials estimate future cleanup costs at  
$80 million. The four oil companies had nearly 100,000 cubic yards  of  highly  
acidic sludge dumped at the site during the 1940s.
