     This Amendment No.1 amends and supplements the Statement on
Schedule 13D (the "Original Statement") filed by TECO Oil & Gas, Inc.
("TOG") and TECO Energy, Inc. ("TECO" ) with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission on October 8, 1998.  Except as set
forth below, there are no changes to the information set forth in the
Original Statement.  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original
Statement.

Item 1.Security and Issuer.

     Item 1 is  amended by replacing  the text  of such item  with the
following paragraph:

     This Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock, $0.00001 par value
per share,  of  American  Resources  Offshore,  Inc.  (f/k/a  American
Resources of Delaware, Inc.) ("ARD").  The address of ARD's principal
executive office is 160 Morgan Street, Versailles, Kentucky  40383.

Item 4.Purpose of Transaction.

     Item 4  is amended  by replacing  the second  paragraph  with the
following paragraph:

     As an inducement to TOG to  accept the Note, ARD  and TOG entered
into a warrant  agreement (the  "Warrant  Agreement") granting  TOG a
common stock purchase warrant (the "Warrant").  A copy of each of the
Warrant Agreement  and  the Warrant  are  filed as  Exhibits  2 and  3
hereto, respectively, and  are by this  reference incorporated herein.
Because the Note was not paid in full by October 1, 1998, TOG acquired
the right under the Warrant to  purchase (i), at a price  of $2.67 per
share, 600,000 shares of  ARD Common Stock,  plus (ii), at  a price of
$0.0001 per share,  additional shares of ARD Common Stock equal to ten
percent of  the shares  of Common  Stock outstanding  on the  date the
Warrant is exercised.  In addition, because  the Note was  not paid in
full by January  1, 1999,  TOG acquired  the right  to purchase,  at a
price of $0.0001 per share,  an additional five percent  of the shares
of ARD Common Stock outstanding on the  date the Warrant is exercised.
If the Note is not paid by April 1, 1999, TOG  will acquire a right to
purchase, at a price of $0.0001 per  share, an additional five percent
of the shares of ARD Common Stock outstanding  on the date the Warrant
is exercised.  The Warrant expires on July 1, 1999.

Item 5.Interest in Securities of Issuer.

     Item 5  is  amended by  replacing  the first  paragraph  with the
following paragraph:

     (a)  TOG beneficially owns approximately 2,137,777  shares of ARD
Common Stock, consisting entirely of shares issuable under the Warrant
described in Item 4. The Warrant became exercisable on October 1, 1998
for (i) 600,000  shares, plus (ii)  ten percent  of the shares  of ARD
Common Stock outstanding  on the date  the Warrant is  exercised.  The
Warrant became exercisable on  January 1, 1999 for  an additional five
percent of the shares of ARD Common Stock  outstanding on the date the<PAGE>





CUSIP No.  02926 U 30 8        13D              Page 7 of 9 pages

Warrant is  exercised.   Therefore,  it is  currently  exercisable for
600,000 shares plus fifteen percent of the  shares of ARD Common Stock
outstanding on the  date the  Warrant is  exercised.   Currently, such
additional fifteen  percent  equals  approximately  1,537,777  shares,
based  on  10,251,853  shares  of  ARD  Common  Stock  outstanding  on
September 30, 1998 as reported in ARD's  Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the  quarter ended  September 30,  1998.   The aggregate  total of
1,537,777 shares  of  ARD  Common  Stock  beneficially  owned  by  TOG
represents  20.9%  of  the  10,251,853  shares  of  ARD  Common  Stock
outstanding on September  30, 1998,  computed in accordance  with Rule
13d-3 of the Act.  TECO may, by virtue of its ownership of the capital
stock of TOG, be deemed to  beneficially own the shares  of ARD Common
Stock beneficially owned by TOG.<PAGE>
