CODA ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION ACTIVITY
Coda Energy, Inc. announced, together with its subsidiaries, the completion
of approximately $12.8 million in acquisitions so far in 1995. Approximately
$5.8 million in oil and gas property acquisitions have been made, as well as the

gathering system, for $6.5 million, increasing its ownership to 100%.
Additionally, a 60 mile pipeline has been purchased which further extends the

best acquisitions."
