1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The  accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been
prepared in accordance with the interim period reporting requirements of Form
10-Q.   Reference  is made to the Form 10-K for the year ended  December  31,
1993 for additional information.

Results  of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative  of
results  for  the  entire  year.  In order to match revenues  and  costs  for
interim  reporting  purposes, the Company defers revenues  related  to  costs
which  are  expected to be incurred later in the year.   In  the  opinion  of
management,  the  accompanying statements reflect all adjustments  which  are
necessary  for  a  fair  presentation.  These adjustments  are  of  a  normal
recurring  nature.  Certain changes in account classification have been  made
in  the prior years' consolidated financial statements to conform to the 1994
financial statement presentation.


2. RESTRUCTURING  OF  GAS  SUPPLY CONTRACTS AND COMPREHENSIVE  SETTLEMENT  OF
   REGULATORY ISSUES

RESTRUCTURING  OF  GAS  SUPPLY CONTRACTS.  The Company  and  its  gas  supply
affiliates have reached agreements with suppliers of California offshore  and
Canadian  natural gas for a restructuring of long-term gas supply  contracts.
The cost of these supplies to the Company had been substantially in excess of
the Company's average delivered cost of gas.  During 1993, these excess costs
totaled approximately $125 million.

The  agreements substantially reduce the ongoing delivered costs of these gas
supplies  and  provide lump sump settlement payments of $375 million  to  the
suppliers.  The expiration date for the Canadian gas supply contract has been
shortened  from  2012  to 2003, and the supplier of California  offshore  gas
continues  to  have an option to purchase related gas treatment and  pipeline
facilities  owned by the Company's gas supply affiliate.  The agreement  with
the  suppliers  of  Canadian  gas is subject to certain  Canadian  regulatory
approvals.

COMPREHENSIVE SETTLEMENT OF REGULATORY ISSUES.  The Company and a  number  of
interested  parties (including the Division of Ratepayer Advocates  (DRA)  of
the  California  Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), large noncore  customers
and  ratepayer groups) proposed for CPUC approval a comprehensive  settlement
(Comprehensive Settlement) of a number of pending regulatory issues including
partial  rate recovery of restructuring costs associated with the gas  supply
contracts discussed above.  The Comprehensive Settlement was approved by the
CPUC  on  July  20,  1994 and will permit the Company to recover  in  utility
rates  approximately 80  percent of the contract restructuring costs of $375


PAGE 7

               SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


million  and accelerated amortization of related pipeline assets of  its  gas
supply affiliates of approximately $130 million, together with interest, over
a  period of approximately five years.  In addition to the gas supply issues,
the Comprehensive Settlement addresses noncore customer rates, reasonableness
reviews, a gas cost incentive mechanism and attrition.  The Company reflected
the  impact  of  the Comprehensive Settlement in its financial statements  in
1993.  The Company has obtained authorization from the CPUC for the borrowing
of  up  to  $425  million  primarily to provide for funds  needed  under  the
Comprehensive Settlement.


3. GAS COST INCENTIVE MECHANISM

On  March  16, 1994, the CPUC approved a new process for evaluating SoCalGas'
gas purchases, replacing the previous process of reasonableness reviews.  The
new  gas  cost  incentive  mechanism (GCIM) is  a  three-year  pilot  program
beginning April 1, 1994.  The GCIM essentially compares SoCalGas' cost of gas
with  a  benchmark  level, which is the average price  of  30-day  firm  spot
supplies delivered to the SoCalGas market area.

If  SoCalGas'  cost of gas exceeds the benchmark level by a  tolerance  band,
then  the  excess  costs  will  be  shared  equally  between  ratepayers  and
shareholders.  Savings from gas purchased below the benchmark level will also
be shared equally between ratepayers and shareholders.  For the first year of
the  program, the GCIM provides a 4.5 percent tolerance band.  For the second
and third years of the program, the tolerance band decreases to 4.0 percent.


4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The  Gas  Company  has  identified and reported to  California  environmental
authorities  42  former gas manufacturing sites for which it  (together  with
other  utilities  as to 21 of the sites) may have remedial obligations  under
environmental  laws.  In addition, the Company is one of a  large  number  of
major corporations that have been named by federal authorities as potentially
responsible  parties  for environmental remediation of two  other  industrial
sites and a landfill site.  As of June 30, 1994, five gas manufacturing sites
had  been  remediated and certified by California environmental  authorities.
One  industrial  site  had also been removed from the list  of  environmental
liabilities  through settlement and subsequent release by  the  committee  of
responsible  parties and federal authorities.  There are 37 gas manufacturing
sites  which  remain  to be investigated or remediated, in  addition  to  one
landfill  site and one industrial disposal site.  It is anticipated that  the
investigation, and if necessary, remediation of these sites will be completed
over a period of from 10 years to 20 years.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


In  November  1993, a collaborative settlement agreement between the  Company
and  other California energy utilities and the DRA was submitted to the  CPUC
for  approval.  The settlement recommended a ratemaking mechanism that  would
provide recovery of 90 percent of environmental investigation and remediation
costs  without reasonableness review.  In addition, the utilities would  have
the  opportunity to retain a percentage of any insurance recoveries to offset
the  10  percent of costs not recovered in rates.  On May 4, 1994,  the  CPUC
adopted the cost sharing mechanism discussed above.


5. POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

Effective  January  1,  1994,  the  Company adopted  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards  No.  112,  Employers'  Accounting  for  Postemployment
Benefits  (SFAS  112).  SFAS 112 requires the accrual of  the  obligation  to
provide benefits to former or inactive employees after employment but  before
retirement.   The adoption of SFAS 112 had no impact on earnings since  these
costs  are  currently  recovered in rates as paid, and  as  such,  have  been
reflected  as a regulatory asset.  At June 30, 1994, the total postemployment
benefit liability was $40 million.


Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Southern  California  Gas  Company (The Gas Company  or  the  Company)  is  a
subsidiary  of  Pacific Enterprises (Parent) which owns  96  percent  of  the
Company's  voting  stock, including all of its issued and outstanding  common
stock.   The Gas Company is a public utility owning and operating  a  natural
gas  transmission,  storage and distribution system  that  serves  almost  16
million  persons through approximately 4.7 million meters in 535  cities  and
communities  throughout  most of southern California  and  parts  of  central
California, a service area of 23,000 square miles.  The Company is  dedicated
to providing high quality gas service to residential, commercial, industrial,
utility  electric generation (UEG) and wholesale customers.  The  Company  is
subject  to  regulation by the California Public Utilities Commission  (CPUC)
which,  among other things, establishes rates the Company may charge for  gas
service,  including an authorized rate of return on investment.  Management's
Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial Condition and  Results  of  Operations
should  be  read  in  conjunction with the Condensed  Consolidated  Financial
Statements and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1994 decreased by $2

PAGE 9

               SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


million  and $4 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in  1993.
The decrease for both the three months and six months ended June 30, 1994 was
due  primarily to a reduction in the Company's authorized rate of  return  on
common  equity  from 11.9 percent in 1993 to 11.0 percent in  1994  partially
offset  by  the  growth  in rate base and higher earnings  from  the  noncore
market.

Operating revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1994 decreased
$3  million and $73 million, respectively, when compared to the same  periods
in  1993.   The decreases in operating revenues for the three and six  months
ended  June  30,  1994 reflect decreases in authorized  gas  margin  and  the
average  unit cost of gas partially offset by an increase in noncore  volumes
transported.   Cost of gas distributed for the three months  ended  June  30,
1994 increased $14 million compared to 1993.  Cost of gas distributed for the
six  months ended June 30, 1994 decreased $12 million compared to 1993.   The
increase in cost of gas distributed for the three months ended June 30,  1994
reflects an increase in volumes sold to core customers as a result of  colder
weather  in 1994 partially offset by a decrease in the average unit  cost  of
gas.   The decrease in cost of gas distributed for the six months ended  June
30, 1994, reflects lower volumes of gas sold to core customers in 1994 and  a
decrease in the average unit cost of gas.


RECENT  CPUC  REGULATORY  ACTIVITY  The Company and a  number  of  interested
parties  (including the Division of Ratepayer Advocates of  the  CPUC,  large
noncore  customers  and  ratepayer  groups)  proposed  for  CPUC  approval  a
comprehensive  settlement (Comprehensive Settlement) of a number  of  pending
regulatory  issues  including partial rate recovery  of  restructuring  costs
associated  with  gas  supply contracts (See Note 2  of  Notes  to  Condensed
Consolidated   Financial  Statements).   The  Comprehensive  Settlement   was
approved by the CPUC on July 20, 1994 and will permit the Company to  recover
in utility rates approximately 80 percent of the contract restructuring costs
of  $375  million and accelerated depreciation of related pipeline assets  of
approximately  $130  million,  together  with  interest,  over  a  period  of
approximately  five years.  The Company has obtained auhtorization  from  the
CPUC  for the borrowing of up to $425 million primarily to provide for  funds
needed under the Comprehensive Settlement.

In August 1993, the Company filed a $134 million rate increase with the CPUC.
Included  in this BCAP filing is a rate structure designed to further  reduce
subsidies by nonresidential core customers to residential customers by better
aligning residential rates with the cost of providing residential service.

The  CPUC, in an interim decision, granted the Company a $121 million revenue
increase  effective January 1, 1994.  A final CPUC decision  is  expected  in
late 1994.


PAGE 10


               SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


FACTORS   INFLUENCING  FUTURE  PERFORMANCE.   Based  on  existing  ratemaking
policies,  future Company earnings and cash flow will be determined primarily
by  the  allowed rate of return on common equity, the growth  in  rate  base,
noncore  pricing  and  throughput and the ability of  management  to  control
expenses and investment in line with the amounts authorized by the CPUC to be
collected  in rates.  Also, the Company's ability to earn revenues in  excess
of  its authorized return from noncore customers due to volume increases will
be  substantially eliminated for the five years beginning August 1, 1994  per
the  Comprehensive  Settlement described above.  This is  because  forecasted
deliveries  in  excess of the 1991 throughput levels used to establish  rates
were contemplated in estimating the costs of the Comprehensive Settlement  at
December  31,  1993.  The impact of any future regulatory  restructuring  and
increased competitiveness in the industry, including the continuing threat of
customers bypassing the Company's system and obtaining service directly  from
interstate pipelines, could also affect the Company's future performance.

The  Gas Company's earnings for 1994 will be affected by the reduction in the
authorized rate of return on common equity, reflecting the overall decline in
cost  of  capital, offset by higher rate base than in 1993.   For  1994,  the
Company  is authorized to earn a rate of return on rate base of 9.22  percent
and an 11.00 percent rate of return on common equity compared to 9.99 percent
and  11.90 percent, respectively, in 1993.  Rate base is expected to increase
by approximately 4 percent to 5 percent in 1994.

In  April,  the  CPUC announced it will review the structure of  California's
electric utility service, a review that could lead to significant changes  in
the  way  California's investor-owned electric utilities  do  business.   The
CPUC's proposal has no immediate effect on the Company's operations, although
future  volumes of natural gas the Company transports for electric  utilities
could  be  affected.  The Company is closely monitoring the process  and  has
taken  an  active  role  in  the  proceedings  because  of  its  considerable
experience  with natural gas deregulation and because the treatment  of  some
electric utility regulatory issues could have indirect implications  for  the
Company.

The   Gas   Company's  operations  are  affected  by  a  growing  number   of
environmental laws and regulations. These laws and regulations affect current
operations  as  well  as  future  expansion  and  also  require  clean-up  of
facilities  no  longer in use. Because of expected regulatory treatment,  the
Company  believes that compliance with these laws will not have a significant
impact on its financial statements.  For further discussion of regulatory and
environmental  matters,  see  Notes  2,  3,  and  4  of  Notes  to  Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.

On  January  17,  1994,  the Company's service area was  struck  by  a  major
earthquake.  The result was a temporary disruption to approximately 150,000

PAGE 11

               SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


customers and damage to some facilities.  The financial impact of the damages
related   to  the  earthquake  not recovered by insurance is expected  to  be
recovered in rates under an existing balancing account mechanism, and  should
have no impact on the Company's financial statements.


CAPITAL  EXPENDITURES.   For  the six months ended  June  30,  1994,  capital
expenditures  were $99 million.  Capital expenditures for utility  plant  are
expected  to  be approximately $300 million in 1994 and will be  financed  by
internally-generated funds and by issuance of long-term debt.


LIQUIDITY

Regulatory accounts receivable decreased $65 million reflecting the  recovery
through  increased gas rates of prior undercollections under  the  regulatory
account procedures.  As a result, the cash flows generated were available for
additional cash requirements.  The decrease in gas in storage inventories  of
$42  million was primarily due to the seasonal withdrawals required  to  meet
the Company's winter demand.
