               Re:  Interstate Energy Company (the "Company"), et al. -
                    Statement on Form U-1, as Amended - File No. 70-9395


          Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

               I have read the Statement on Form U-1, as amended, in the
          above-referenced proceeding (the "Application") and am furnishing
          this opinion with respect to the proposed transactions described
          therein, which relate to the acquisition by Whiting Petroleum
          Corporation ("Whiting"), an indirect subsidiary of the Company,
          of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Golden Gas
          Production Company ("Golden Gas"), an unaffiliated company, in
          exchange for common stock to be issued by the Company (the
          "Transaction").

               I am of the opinion that, upon the issuance of your order or
          orders in this proceeding granting or permitting the Application
          to become effective with respect to such proposed Transaction,
          and in the event that the proposed Transaction is consummated in
          accordance with said Application and your order or orders in
          respect thereto:

                    (a)  all state laws applicable to the proposed
                         Transaction will have been complied with;

                    (b)  the Company is (i) validly organized and duly
                         existing, and (ii) the shares of common stock of
                         the Company to be issued will be validly issued,
                         fully paid and nonassessable (except as otherwise
                         provided in Section 180.0622(2)(b) of the
                         Wisconsin Business Corporation Law), and the
                         holders thereof will be entitled to the rights and
                         privileges appertaining thereto set forth in the
                         Company's articles of incorporation;

                    (c)  Whiting will legally acquire the outstanding
                         common stock of Golden Gas; and

                    (d)  the consummation of the proposed Transaction will
                         not violate the legal rights of the holders of any
                         securities issued by the Company or any associate
                         company thereof.

               I am an attorney licensed to practice in the State of
          Wisconsin and have acted as counsel to the Company and Whiting in
          connection with the proposed Transaction.  I express no opinion
          with respect to the laws of any other State or jurisdiction.

               I hereby give my written consent to the use of this opinion
          in connection with the Application.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                        /s/ Steven R. Suleski
