ENOVA CORPORATION, PACIFIC ENTERPRISES ANNOUNCE
AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE AIG TRADING CORP.

  AIG Trading Corp. is 10th largest natural gas marketer
  Competitively Positions Merged Company in Rapidly
	Changing Energy Marketplace

	For Immediate Release

     SAN DIEGO/LOS ANGELES (Aug. 7, 1997) - Enova Corporation and 
Pacific Enterprises (PE) today jointly announced an agreement to acquire
AIG Trading Corp., a leading natural gas and power marketing firm, for
$190 million.

     AIG Trading Corp.'s business primarily focuses on wholesale trading
and marketing of natural gas, power and oil.  It is the 10th largest
natural gas marketer in the United States, based on volume.
     Headquartered in Greenwich, Conn., AIG Trading Corp. is a
subsidiary of AIG Trading Group Inc., also based in Greenwich.  AIG
Trading Corp. will become a subsidiary of the new company to be formed
by the merger of PE and Enova that was announced in October 1996.

     "We are extremely pleased to acquire an energy trading and
marketing firm of AIG Trading Corp.'s capability and reputation,"
said Richard D. Farman, president and chief operating officer,
Pacific Enterprises.

     "AIG Trading Corp. actively trades and markets energy commodities
to customers on a national basis and is an excellent strategic fit with
the current marketing operationsof Energy Pacific," Farman added. Energy
Pacific, a joint venture launched last March by Enova and PE, is an
unregulated energy-services company.

     "This transaction establishes the wholesale commodity trading
business necessary to support our retail marketing," said Stephen L.
Baum, president and chief executive officer, Enova Corporation.  "Now
we will have a full portfolio of energy services for our customers."

     Farman and Baum said, "Each of our companies has reviewed the
totality of circumstances surrounding our proposed merger and remain
totally committed to its successful completion."

     Enova and PE will acquire all of the outstanding common stock of
AIG Trading Corp. Each company is funding half of the acquisition,
which is expected to be accounted for as a purchase.

     The acquisition will require approval from the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) and is expected to be completed before
the end of this year.

     The merger between Enova and PE has been conditionally approved
by the FERC and a final decision is expected from the California Public
Utilities Commission in March 1998.

     In 1996, AIG Trading Corp. transactions averaged over 3 billion
cubic feet of gas per day.  In addition to its Greenwich headquarters,
AIG Trading Corp. also has marketing offices in Calgary and Toronto,
Canada, and Houston.  The company has approximately 90 employees.

     AIG Trading Corp.'s current management team will remain in place
to continue expanding its range of energy trading and marketing
businesses under the Enova/PE ownership. Four senior officers of AIG
Trading Corp. -- Steven Prince, David Messer, Todd Esse and Frank
Gallipoli -- will be principals of the new venture.

     "By combining our trading and risk management capabilities
together with Enova/PE's expertise in the energy business, we expect
to be among a small group of companies able to provide a full range
of energy products and services for our customers on a national basis,"
said David Messer, President of AIG Trading Corp.

     "Enova/PE's management and AIG Trading Corp. share a common
vision of tomorrow's energy marketplace," said Steven Prince, chairman
and chief executive officer of AIG Trading Corp."We are excited about
the opportunity that AIG Trading now has to contribute to Enova/PE's
growth as a competitive nationwide energy provider."

     At closing, PE and Enova will establish a credit facility needed
to handle the working capital of AIG Trading Corp.  The companies will
put in place long-term incentive compensation and retention
arrangements, which are expected to involve commitments of up to $35
million.
     Enova Corporation (NYSE-ENA), based in San Diego, is a leading
energy company providing electricity, gas and value-added products and
services in the United States and Mexico.  Enova is the parent company of
SDG&E and six other U.S.-based subsidiaries - Enova Energy, Enova
International, Enova Technologies, Enova Financial, Califia and
Pacific Diversified Capital.  SDG&E serves 1.2 million electricity
customers in San Diego and southern Orange County and more than 715,000
natural gas customers in San Diego County.

     Pacific Enterprises (NYSE-PET) is a Los Angeles-based energy-
services company, whose Southern California Gas Co. unit is the nation's
largest natural gas distributor, with 4.8 million customers.  Pacific
