                    (Name)                       (Area Code) (Telephone Number)

          (2)  Have all other period reports required under Section 13 or 15(d)
               or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the
               Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or
               for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file
               such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no, identify
               report(s).
                                                             [X]  Yes  [ ]  No

          (3)  Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of
               operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year
               will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in
               the subject report or portion thereof?
                                                             [X]  Yes  [ ]  No

         For the three months ended June 30, 2001, we anticipate reporting a net
loss of $2.5 million as compared with a net loss of $2.3 million for the same
three-month period in 2000. The net loss for the three-month period in 2001
includes operating income of $6.0 million less net interest expense of $9.4
million plus a decrease in reorganization costs of $950,000. The net loss for
the three-month period in 2000 includes operating income of $11.4 million less
net interest expense of $13.1 million and reorganization costs of $682,000. The
decrease in operating income between periods is primarily attributable to:

     o    a $3.3 million decrease in operating revenues due to a decrease in the
          price received for our crude oil production and crude oil hedging
          losses and

     o    a $1.3 million loss on derivatives recognized in the second quarter of
          2001 related to the ineffectiveness of our crude oil and natural gas
          hedging arrangements.

The major component of the decrease in the interest expense between periods is
the decrease in the loss on the standby loan embedded derivative from
approximately $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2000 to $640,000 in the
second quarter of 2001.
