             (Date of event which requires filing of this statement)


If the filing person has previously filed a statement on Schedule 13G to report
the acquisition that is the subject of this Schedule 13D, and is filing this
schedule because of Rules 13d-1(e), 13d-1(f) or 13d-1(g), check the following
box [_].





================================================================================



           This Amendment No. 4 amends the Schedule 13D dated December 23, 1986,
as amended, and is filed by Frederick A. Klingenstein and John Klingenstein.

           On April 23, 2002, Frederick A. Klingenstein ceased to be a director
of Pogo Producing Company, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer") and,
accordingly, is no longer in a position to influence the management of the
Issuer.

           Neither Frederick A. Klingenstein nor John Klingenstein acquired
shares of common stock, par value $1 per share ("Common Stock"), of the Issuer,
or hold shares of Common Stock for the purpose of or with the effect of changing
or influencing the control of the Issuer and such shares were not held in
connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or
effect. Consequently, while Messrs. Frederick A. Klingenstein and John
Klingenstein continue to own shares of Common Stock, each is ceasing to report
their respective ownership on Schedule 13D. Their ownership of shares of Common
Stock has been and will continue to be included in Schedule 13G amendments filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Klingenstein, Fields & Co.,
L.L.C., a registered investment adviser ("Klingenstein Fields"), in respect of
shares of Common Stock over which Klingenstein Fields has investment discretion.

I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and
correct.
