                            CURRENT REPORT OF EVENTS

Item 2.          RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On November 9, 1995, Magnum Hunter Production, Inc. ("Magnum Hunter"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Hunter Resources, Inc., closed on an acquisition of
domestic producing oil and gas properties for approximately $4.5 million, as
adjusted for operations to closing date, from a Corpus Christi, Texas based
independent.  The initial purchase price was comprised of $3.375 million cash,
funded by the Magnum Hunter's existing bank line of credit, and a note payable
to the previous owner in the amount of $1.125 million secured by 610,170 shares
of restricted common stock of Magnum Petroleum, Inc., the new parent of Magnum
Hunter (subject to shareholder approval).  The acquisition had an effective
date of August 1, 1995.  The properties are concentrated in two counties in
Texas and include ownership interest in 38 wells.  The properties have proven
reserves estimated by the Company's petroleum engineers in excess of 550,000
barrels of oil and 2.9 billion cubic feet of natural gas to the net interest
acquired.  The future net revenues from these proven properties are estimated
to be $10.4 million with a discounted present worth at 10% of $8,051,185.

         (a)     Required Financial Statements for the acquired business
                 described in Item 2 are unavailable as of the date of this
