Item 1.  N/A

Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

         Acquisition of Additional Interest in Four Corners Properties.
         Pursuant to the terms of the Concession and Lease Purchase Agreement
         (the "Agreement") dated as of October 20, 1994, among Harken Energy
         Corporation ("Harken"), C.A.B. Resources, Inc. ("CAB"), Crusader, Inc.
         ("Crusader"), and Australian Hydrocarbons, Inc. ("AHI"), Harken has
         acquired an additional interest in certain oil and gas properties and
         related assets in the Four Corners area of the Southwestern United
         States.  Pursuant to the Agreement, as consideration for this
         acquisition, Harken issued an aggregate total of 960,000 shares of
         restricted Harken common stock to the sellers (CAB, Crusader and AHI),
         assumed certain liabilities of the sellers relating to the properties,
         and the sellers in turn retained certain contingent liabilities 
         related to the properties as well as retaining certain distributions 
         made under the CHAP Venture.  In this acquisition Harken acquired from
         the sellers approximately 20% of the joint venture interest in the 
         CHAP Venture, a tax partnership formed to explore for and develop oil
         and gas reserves in the Aneth Field of the Paradox Basin in Utah, 
         Arizona and New Mexico, primarily on the Navajo Indian Reservation. 
         Harken, through its subsidiaries, owned approximately 50% of the CHAP
         Venture prior to the acquisition and continues to serve as operator
         for the Venture.  The 960,000 restricted shares issued by Harken in
         this transaction contain certain demand and piggyback registration
         rights exercisable by the sellers.  The number of shares of Harken
         common stock issued as a portion of the consideration for this
         transaction was determined based on the average closing price of
         Harken common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding
         the closing date of October 20, 1994.

         The CHAP Venture is in the business of exploring for and producing oil
         and gas in the Aneth Field of the Paradox Basin in Utah, Arizona and
         New Mexico.  CHAP Venture's operations in the Paradox Basin are
         primarily concentrated on the Navajo Indian Reservation (the
         "Reservation"), which comprises portions of Arizona, New Mexico and
         Utah.  In addition to its oil and gas operations, CHAP Venture also
         has an interest in a gas processing plant in the Paradox Basin.  The
         acquisition of the sellers' interest raises Harken's total interest in
         the CHAP Venture to approximately 70% and increases Harken's share of
         daily production by approximately 40% over its previous interest.
