This report includes "forward looking statements" within the 
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended 
("Exchange Act").  All statements other than statements of 
historical fact, including statements in Management's Discussion

are forward looking statements. The Company can give no assurances 
that the assumptions upon which such statements were based will 
prove to have been correct.  Important factors that could cause 
actual results to differ materially from the Company's 
expectations ("Cautionary Statements") are disclosed in the 
Company's Forms 10-KSB and other periodic reports filed under the 
Exchange Act, which are herein incorporated by reference.  These 
factors include the volatile prices of oil and gas, risks inherent 
in operating oil and gas wells, the effect of environmental and 
other regulation and the substantial capital requirements to 
conduct oil and gas operations.  All subsequent written and oral 
forward looking statements attributable to the Company or persons 
acting on its behalf are expressly qualified by the Cautionary 
Statements.

INTRODUCTION

Future Petroleum Corporation (the "Company") is engaged 
through its subsidiaries and subsidiary partnerships in the 
development of oil and natural gas properties located onshore 
primarily in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and, through a recent 
acquisition, California.

On August 14, 1998, the Company closed an acquisition by 
merger ("Bargo Acquisition") of oil and gas properties from Bargo 
Energy Resources, Ltd. ("Bargo") for a purchase price of $5.8 
million, 4.7 million shares of Future's common stock and a warrant 
to purchase an additional 250,000 shares of common stock.  The oil 
and gas properties purchased were a 37.68% working interest in the 
South Coles Levee Unit in Kern County, California.  As of August 
1, 1998, the properties had estimated net proved reserves of 500 
MBbls of oil and 8 Bcf of natural gas, or 11 Bcfe.

In connection with the Bargo Acquisition, certain 
partnerships affiliated with EnCap Investments L.C. ("EnCap") 
agreed to modify and extend their outstanding loans to the Company 
in the amount of approximately $7.3 million.  In connection with 
the renewal and amendment of the EnCap loans, the EnCap affiliates 
received 2.8 million shares of Future common stock. Following the 
transactions, the outstanding common stock of Future was owned 
approximately 1/3rd by EnCap affiliates, 1/3rd by Bargo and 1/3rd by 
management and public shareholders. 

On May 1, 1998, the Company acquired certain producing oil 
and gas properties from the EnCap affiliates and NCI Enterprises, 
Inc. through the acquisition of partnership interests in NCI-
Shawnee Limited Partnership ("NCI Shawnee Acquisition") in 
exchange for $66,000 and 200,000 shares of Future Common Stock.  
The oil and gas properties purchased were a 3.26% working interest 
in the Shawnee Townsite Unit, Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma.  As 
of December 1, 1997, the effective date of purchase, the 
properties had estimated net proved reserves of 162,000 Bbls of 
oil and 16,000 Mcf of natural gas.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company's results of operations are dependent upon the 
difference between prices received for its oil and gas production 
and the costs to find and produce such oil and gas.  Oil and gas 
prices have been and are expected in the future to be volatile and 
subject to fluctuations based on a number of factors beyond the 
control of the Company.

     The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for its 
oil and gas properties.  Under the full cost method of accounting, 
the costs of successful and unsuccessful exploration and 
development wells are capitalized as property and equipment, and 
the sum of net capitalized costs and estimated future development 
and dismantlement costs is amortized over the production of proved 
reserves using the unit of production method.  The costs of 
unproved properties are excluded from amortization until the 
properties are evaluated.  Interest on properties not subject to 
amortization and in the process of development is capitalized.  
Proceeds from the sale of properties are accounted for as 
reductions to capitalized costs, unless the sale results in a 
significant change in the relationship between costs and the 
estimated value of proved reserves or the underlying value of 
unproved properties, in which case a gain or loss is recognized.  
Unamortized costs of proved properties are subject to a ceiling 
test, which limits the maximum amount of such costs to the present 
value (discounted at 10%) of future net cash flows, after income 
taxes attributable to the Company's estimated net proved reserves.  
Accordingly, reductions in the prices of oil and gas, or 
reductions in the Company's proved reserves quantities, could 
reduce the ceiling below the unamortized costs resulting in a 
charge to earnings.

Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 Compared to Three Months Ended 
June 30, 1997

Revenues

     Oil and gas sales increased from $56,034 during the second 
quarter of 1997 to $537,060 during the second quarter of 1998. 
Total revenues increased from $119,238 during the second quarter 
of 1997 to $574,187 for the same period in 1998.  This increase in 
oil and gas sales and revenues was a direct result of the 
Company's acquisition of producing oil and gas properties in west 
Texas, the Permian Basin, the Texas Panhandle and northern 
Oklahoma in November 1997 (the "1997 Acquisition") and the NCI 
Shawnee Acquisition in May 1998.  Offsetting the increase in oil 
and gas sales was a 59% decrease in fees from well operations and 
lower prices primarily for oil and gas production.

Expenses

     During the three months ended June 30, 1998, lease operating 
expenses, including production taxes, were $352,720, as compared 
to $35,298 for the same period in 1997.  General and 
administrative expenses and depletion, depreciation and 
amortization increased to $142,786 and $100,616, respectively, 
during the three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $39,542 
and $28,769, respectively, for the same period in 1997.  This 
increase in expenses from $105,107 during the second quarter of 
1997 to $712,354 during the second quarter of 1998 was due to the 
increase in the number of producing properties owned by the 
Company as a result of the 1997 Acquisition and the NCI Shawnee 
Acquisition in May 1998 as well as non-recurring expenses 
associated with the NCI Shawnee Acquisition incurred in the second 
quarter of 1998. Interest expense was $116,232 for the three 
months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $1,498 for the three 
months ended June 30, 1997 as a result of the increase in debt 
incurred by the Company to finance the 1997 Acquisition and the 
NCI Shawnee Acquisition.

Other Income (Expenses)

     Other income dropped from $13,032 during the second quarter 
of 1997 to $7,165 during the second quarter of 1998, or 55%.

Net Loss

     The Company had a net loss of $131,002 for the three months 
ended June 30, 1998 as compared to net income of $27,163 for the 
same period in 1997.  

Six Months ended June 30, 1998 Compared to Six Months Ended June 
30, 1997

Revenues

     Oil and gas sales increased from $115,278 during the first 
half of 1997 to $1,031,234 during the first half of 1998. Total 
revenues increased from $223,097 during the first half of 1997 to 
$1,090,529 for the same period in 1998.  This increase in revenues 
was a direct result of the Company's acquisition of the 1997 
Acquisition and the NCI Shawnee Acquisition in May 1998.  
Offsetting the increase in oil and gas sales was a 55% decrease in 
fees from well operations and lower prices for oil and gas 
production.

Expenses

     During the six months ended June 30, 1998, lease operating 
expenses, including production taxes, were $643,448, as compared 
to $90,778 for the same period in 1997.  General and 
administrative expenses and depletion, depreciation and 
amortization increased to $220,653 and $202,314, respectively, 
during the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $94,423 
and $59,114, respectively, for the same period in 1997.  This 
increase in expenses from $247,532 during the first two quarters 
of 1997 to $1,348,541 during the first two quarters of 1998 was 
due to the increase in the number of producing properties owned by 
the Company as a result of the 1997 Acquisition and the NCI 
Shawnee Acquisition in May 1998 as well as expenses associated 
with such acquisition. Interest expense was $282,126 for the six 
months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $3,217 for the six 
months ended June 30, 1997 as a result of the increase in debt 
incurred by the Company to finance the 1997 Acquisition and the 
NCI Shawnee Acquisition.

Other Income (Expenses)

     Other income dropped from $38,256 during the first two 
quarters of 1997 to $13,678 during the first two quarters of 1998, 
or 36%.

Net Loss

     The Company had a net loss of $244,334 for the six months 
ended June 30, 1998 as compared to net income of $13,821 for the 
same period in 1997.  


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     In the last five years, the Company's primary source of 
capital has been from the issuance of debt and restricted stock in 
exchange for oil and gas properties or interests in oil and gas 
properties and, to a lesser extent, cash flows from operations and 
the sale of non-strategic mining properties.

     In August 1998, the Company entered into a $20 million credit 
facility with Bank of America ("Credit Facility")  Maximum amounts 
which may be outstanding under the Credit Facility are limited by 
a borrowing base currently set at $10.5 million, which will be 
adjusted from time to time based on the value of the Company's oil 
and gas properties.  Borrowings of $7.9 million were used to 
finance the purchase price of the Bargo properties in the Bargo 
Acquisition, payment of a portion of indebtedness to EnCap and 
certain closing costs associated with the Bargo Acquisition.

     During the second half of 1998, the Company anticipates that 
it will make capital expenditures on oil and gas properties (other 
than acquisitions) of approximately $470,000. The Company does not 
have a specific acquisition budget but rather examines potential 
future acquisitions on a case-by-case basis. The Company continues 
to seek financing to fund the development of existing properties 
and to acquire additional assets.  The Company believes that 
proceeds from the issuance of equity and debt, cash flow from 
operations, sales of non-strategic properties and borrowings under 
the Credit Facility will provide the required capital for funding 
the Company's capital budget through 1998.

INFLATION

The Company's activities have not been, and in the near term are 
not expected to be, materially affected by inflation or changing 
prices in general.  The Company's oil exploration and production 
activities are generally affected by prevailing prices for oil, 
however.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

The Company has reviewed its current computer software and 
hardware systems, and is currently working to resolve the 
potential problems associated with the Year 2000 and the 
processing of date sensitive information by such systems.  Based 
on preliminary information, the Company believes that it will be 
able to implement successfully the systems and programming changes 
necessary to address the Year 2000 issues, and does not expect the 
cost of such changes to have a material impact on the Company's 
financial position, results of operations or cash flows in future 
periods.
