ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

   
         On March 13, 1995, Thor Energy Resources, Inc. (the "Company")
dismissed Hein & Associates ("Hein") as the Company's principal independent
accountant and Weaver and Tidwell was engaged (subject to the approval of the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas (the
"Bankruptcy Court")) to replace Hein as the principal independent accountant
for the Company.  The decision to change accountants was recommended by the
Company's Audit Committee following a review of potential auditors for the 1995
fiscal year and the status of the Company's litigation and was approved by the
Company's Board of Directors.
    

         The Hein reports on the financial statements of the Company for the
past two fiscal years did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion, nor were such opinions modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principles, except that Hein's report on the Company's audited
financial statements for the year ended January 31, 1994, was modified with a
note stating that there was uncertainty as to the outcome of certain litigation
brought against the Company by a former officer and director.  See "Item 5.
Other Events."

         There were no disagreements with Hein on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or
procedure, which, if not resolved to the Hein's satisfaction, would have caused
it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection
with its report.  Hein has not advised the Company that (i) internal controls
necessary to develop reliable financial statements did not exist, (ii)
information had come to the attention of Hein that made them unwilling to rely
on management's representations, or unwilling to be associated with the
financial statements prepared by management or (iii) the scope of the audit
should have been expanded significantly, or information had come to Hein's
attention that it concluded would, or if further investigated might have,
materially impacted the fairness or reliability of a previously issued audit
report or the underlying financial statements or the financial statements
issued or to be issued covering the fiscal period subsequent to the date of the
most recent audited financial statements (including information that might have
precluded the issuance of an unqualified audit report) and the issue was not
resolved to Hein's satisfaction prior to its resignation or dismissal.

         The Company has not consulted Weaver and Tidwell regarding the
application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated
transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the
Company's financial statements and neither written or oral advice was provided
by Weaver and Tidwell that was an important factor considered by the Company in
reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting
issue.  Additionally, the Company has not consulted Weaver and Tidwell with
regard to the litigation described above.  The engagement is subject to
Bankruptcy Court approval.

   
ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS
    

   
Not Amended.
