Item 5.   Other Events
          ------------

On  November 27, 1995, Oceanic Exploration Company ("Oceanic"  or
the  "Registrant")  received $810,522  from  Denison  Mines  Ltd.
(Denison)  representing  unpaid revenues  on  Oceanic's  15%  net
profits  interest in certain oil and gas producing areas offshore
Greece.   These  revenues cover the period from January  1,  1993
through  October 31, 1995, and are calculated under the terms  of
the  license  agreement as amended in 1993.   Denison  will  also
resume  monthly  revenue  payments to Oceanic  for  its  15%  net
profits   interest  as  calculated  under  the  amended   license
agreement.

The  payment  was in connection with an agreement by  Denison  to
withdraw  its counterclaim against the Registrant.   Denison  was
seeking  damages  of approximately $4,800,000 plus  interest  and
costs  alleging that the Registrant was overpaid for  the  period
from January 1, 1989 through December 31, 1993.

The  Registrant  will continue to pursue its  litigation  against
Denison  challenging Denison's position that the  calculation  of
the  15%  net  profits interest should be based  on  the  amended
agreement  with  the Greek government.  The Registrant  disagrees
with Denison's interpretation and is seeking a declaration by the
Court that amounts due the Registrant attributable to its 15% net
profits  interest be calculated based on the terms of the license
agreement before the 1993 amendment.

Pursuant to the Registrant's agreement with NWO Resources,  Inc.,
$200,000 of the revenues received will be used to fund the  costs
of  the  litigation  with  Denison and other  operations  of  the
Registrant and the remainder will be used to pay accrued interest
and reduce the debt due NWO Resources, Inc.
