    This Amendment No. 2 amends the statement on Schedule 13D (the "Initial
13D") which was filed on July 9, 1999 pursuant to Rule 13d-1 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, on behalf of each of Southwestern Eagle LLC
("Southwestern"), James W. Williams, Jr. ("Mr. Williams") and H. Hunter White
III ("Mr. White") and relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share
(the "Common Stock") of Patina Oil & Gas Corporation (the "Issuer").  The
Initial 13D was amended on August 12, 1999, by Amendment No. 1 and is hereby
amended as set forth below.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

    Item 3 is hereby amended by adding the following new paragraph after the
existing paragraphs in the Initial 13D as amended by Amendment No. 1.

    On August 26, 1999, Southwestern purchased an additional 250,000 shares
(the "Additional Shares") of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of
$2,200,000.  The funds for the acquisition of the Additional Shares came from
the proceeds of the loan described above.  The Additional Shares have been
pledged to the lender to secure repayment of the term loan.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

    Item 5 of the Initial 13D is deleted in its entirety and replaced with
the following:

    As of the close of business on September 2, 1999,

    (a)  Southwestern holds for its account 1,775,900 shares of the Issuer's
Common Stock, representing 11.1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
The aggregate percentage of the shares of Common Stock owned by Southwestern
is based upon shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported in the Issuer's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 1999.

    (b)  As a Manager of Southwestern, each of Mr. Williams and Mr. White may
be deemed to have the sole power to direct the voting and disposition of the
shares of the Issuer's Common Stock held by Southwestern.  Mr. Williams and
Mr. White disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares.

    (c)  Schedule II attached to the Initial 13D and incorporated herein by
reference describes all transactions in the Issuer's Common Stock that were
effected in the 60 day period prior to the filing of the Initial 13D.
Schedule III attached to this Amendment No. 2 and incorporated herein by
reference (which replaces the Schedule III attached to Amendment No. 1)
describes all transactions in the Issuer's Common Stock that were effected
during the period July 14 through September 2, 1999 by the Reporting Persons
or the other persons or entities listed in Schedule I hereto.

    (d)  The members of Southwestern have the right to participate in the
receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sales of, shares of the
Issuer's Common Stock beneficially owned by Southwestern.

    (e)  Not applicable.
