Note--4 Subsequent Event

   In May 2001, substantially all of the crude oil pipeline, gathering, storage
and terminalling assets of Murphy were acquired by Plains All American
Pipeline, L.P. ("PAA") for approximately $161.0 million in cash. The purchase
price included $6.5 million for excess inventory in the systems. The principle
assets acquired include four pipeline systems covering 275 miles, approximately
1.1 million barrels of crude oil storage and terminalling capacity located
primarily in Kerrobert, Saskatchewan, approximately 254,000 barrels of linefill
and tank bottoms and 121 trailers used primarily for crude oil transportation.

   PAA has entered into a new long-term contract with Murphy to continue
transporting its production from fields currently delivering crude oil to these
pipelines systems. The current volume transported for Murphy under the contract
is approximately 11,000 barrels per day. In aggregate, the pipeline systems
transport approximately 200,000 barrels per day of light, medium and heavy
crudes, as well as condensate.
