ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OF PRODUCING PROPERTIES

On October 30, 1998, the Company closed a purchase of certain proved oil and gas
properties from Sonat Exploration Company, a subsidiary of Sonat, Inc., (NYSE:
SNT), that is estimated to increase Texoil's gas reserves by approximately 148%
and oil reserves by 25%. The acquisition includes nine (9) fields located in
South Texas and Louisiana. Seven of the fields will be operated by Texoil. The
net purchase price is approximately $17.4 million, including estimated post
closing adjustments. The net price and reserve value could increase if certain
wells are restored to productive status. As of November 1, these properties were
estimated to have proved reserves of 17.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas and
1,963,000 barrels of oil, excluding certain reserves which may be classified as
proved by the Company, pending additional geological and engineering analysis.
Included in the purchase are certain production facilities and gathering lines,
interests in one gas processing plant and more than 3,000 net undeveloped acres.
One field located in South Texas was eliminated from the initial proposed
acquisition due to a preferential right to purchase the property, which was
exercised by a third party. The properties were purchased as proved producing
assets with additional anticipated development and drilling potential. The
transaction was financed entirely with bank debt under a newly increased credit
agreement. Participating banks are Comerica Bank-Texas and First Union National
Bank.

This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of The Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of The Securities Act of 1934.
Texoil believes that its expectations are based on reasonable business
assumptions, however, no assurance can be given that the Company's goals will be
achieved.

(collectively herein "Seller"), and Texoil, Inc., a Nevada corporation
("Buyer").

      1. SALE AND PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTIES. Subject to the terms and
conditions herein set forth, Seller agrees to sell, assign, convey and deliver
to Buyer and Buyer agrees to purchase and acquire from Seller at the Closing
(defined in Article 12, below) but effective as of 7:00 a.m., Central Time, on
April 1, 1998 (the "Effective Date"), all of Seller's right, title and interest
in each property set forth on Exhibit A ("Units and Wells"), Exhibit B ("Leases,
Rights-of-Way and Easements"), all other interest, if any, owned by Seller, in,

and, collectively, "Properties").

      2. PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price for the Properties shall be Twenty
Five Million Five Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($25,500,000.00)
("Purchase Price"), subject to any applicable adjustments as are hereinafter

except as specifically provided in this Agreement. Any forfeiture of the
Performance Deposit as provided in this Agreement will be in addition to, and

      3. ADJUSTMENTS TO PURCHASE PRICE; FINAL PURCHASE PRICE. The Purchase Price
shall be adjusted as follows and the resulting amount shall be referred to
herein as the Final Purchase Price:

            3.1 INCREASES IN PURCHASE PRICE: The Purchase Price shall be
      increased by an amount equal to the sum of the following amounts:

                  3.1.1 The amount of costs and expenses, including, without
            limitation, such capital expenditures as are permitted by Section
            6.1.1. below incurred by Seller in the ordinary course of Seller's
            business and customary overhead charges related to the Properties
            from the Effective Date to the Closing Date.

                  3.1.2 The amount of all prepaid expenses, including, without
            limitation, ad valorem, property and similar taxes and assessments
            based upon or measured by
<PAGE>
            ownership of the Properties and attributable to periods of time
            after the Effective Date.

                  3.1.3 Any amounts due to Seller from other parties as of the
            Effective Date with respect to any Imbalance existing at the
            Effective Date, such amounts to be determined:

                        (a) for production Imbalances by multiplying the
                  Imbalance volume by $1.75 per MCF and then reducing such
                  amount by the leasehold burdens including royalties,
                  overriding royalties and production payments, if any, and
                  severance taxes to be paid on such amount, and

                        (b) for pipeline, transportation or processing
                  Imbalances by multiplying the Imbalance volume by the price
                  actually in effect for make-up gas if made-up prior to Closing
                  or by $1.75 per MMBTU if not made-up, and then reducing such
                  amount by the sum of the total of the leasehold burdens
                  including royalties, overriding royalties and production
                  payments, if any, and severance and similar taxes, if any,
                  actually paid on such amount plus all penalties and other
                  charges on the Imbalance.

            The term "Imbalance" means any gas or other hydrocarbon production,
            pipeline, transportation or processing Imbalance existing as of the
            Effective Date with respect to any of the Properties, together with
            any related rights or obligations as to future cash and/or gas or
            product balancing, as a result of, in the case of production
            Imbalances, Seller having taken and sold for Seller's account
            cumulative production which is greater or less than Seller's Working
            Interest share in cumulative production, or, in the case of a
            pipeline, transportation or processing Imbalances, Seller having
            delivered production which is greater or less than the production
            volume Seller contracted to deliver.

                  3.1.4 As to Wells in which Seller's Net Revenue Interest (as
            defined in Article 10 below) is determined to be greater than the
            decimal interest noted in Exhibit A, an amount determined by
            multiplying the Allocated Value (as hereinafter defined) for
            Seller's interest in the Well in question by a fraction, the
            numerator of which shall be the decimal increase in Seller's Net
            Revenue Interest in such Well from the percentage shown for such
            Well in Exhibit A and the denominator of which shall be the Net
            Revenue Interest shown for such Well on such Exhibit.

                  3.1.5 The value of all merchantable, clean oil and other
            products in tanks above the pipeline sales connection at the
            Effective Date that is credited to the Properties, such value to be
            the market or, if applicable, the contract price in effect as of the
            Effective Date, less any applicable leasehold burdens including
            royalties,
<PAGE>
            overriding royalties and production payments, if any, and severance
            taxes.

            3.2 DECREASES IN PURCHASE PRICE: The Purchase Price shall be
      decreased by an amount equal to the sum of the following amounts:

                  3.2.1 The amount of all proceeds received by Seller, net of
            all applicable taxes and leasehold burdens including royalties,
            overriding royalties and production payments, if any, attributable
            to production from the Properties for periods of time after the
            Effective Date, excluding, however, proceeds from all production
            prior to the Effective Date, which proceeds shall be for the account
            of Seller.

                  3.2.2 Any amounts due from Seller to other parties as of the
            Effective Date with respect to any Imbalances existing at the
            Effective Date, such amounts to be determined:

                        (a) for production Imbalances by multiplying the
                  Imbalance volume by $1.75 per MCF and then reducing such
                  amount by the leasehold burdens including royalties,
                  overriding royalties and production payments, if any, and
                  severance taxes to be paid on such amount, and

                        (b) for pipeline, transportation or processing
                  Imbalances by multiplying the Imbalance volume by the price
                  actually in effect for make-up gas if made-up prior to Closing
                  or by $1.75 per MMBTU if not made-up and then reducing such
                  amount by the sum of the total leasehold burdens including
                  royalties, overriding royalties and production payments, if
                  any, and severance and similar taxes, if any, actually paid on
                  such amount plus the amount of all penalties and other charges
                  on the Imbalance.

                  3.2.3 An amount equal to all ad valorem, property, and similar
            taxes and assessments based upon or measured by Seller's ownership
            of the Properties that are unpaid as of the Closing Date and
            attributable to periods of time prior to the Effective Date, which
            amounts shall be computed based upon such taxes and assessments for
            the calendar year 1997; provided that if such taxes or assessments
            are assessed on other than a calendar year basis, for the tax
            related year last ended.

                  3.2.4 Any amount determined in connection with uncured Title
            Defects as provided for in Article 10 below.

                  3.2.5 Any amount determined in connection with Adverse

            Closing Date.

            6.2   ACCESS.

                  6.2.1 GENERAL. Seller shall afford to Buyer and its authorized
            representatives reasonable access, at Buyer's sole risk and expense

            files specifically identified to the Properties in accordance with
            Seller's existing filing and data management system, or (iii)
            information, the disclosure of which would violate any
            confidentiality agreement to which Seller is bound.

                  6.2.2. PUBLIC REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. Buyer is a publicly
            traded company subject to certain reporting requirements of the
            Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Seller grants Buyer
            reasonable access to such of Seller's records (excluding any reserve
            data generated by either Sonat or any third party on behalf of
            Sonat) as are necessary to compile required information and perform
            such audit procedures as are reasonably necessary, in the opinion of
            Buyer's accountants and legal counsel, to comply with the reporting
            requirements of the SEC, all at Buyer's sole cost.

            6.3 RELEASE OF GEOLOGIC AND GEOPHYSICAL INFORMATION. Prior to
      Closing, Buyer shall be allowed to review and copy geologic and
      geophysical information, maps, and data in Seller's files attributable to
      the Properties to the extent Seller may disclose to Buyer such materials
      without violating any confidentiality agreements or licenses. After
      Closing, Seller will endeavor to deliver originals of any geological or
      geophysical information, maps and logs discovered in Seller's possession
      and not included in the files delivered to Buyer at Closing to the extent
      delivery of such material would not violate any confidentiality agreement
      or license. Buyer agrees that it will obtain and use such materials at its
      own risk and expense, and further, Buyer releases Seller from any and all
      liability and agrees to release, defend, indemnify and hold harmless
      Seller from all claims, demands, judgments, costs, and expenses (including
      courts costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) brought by Buyer and/or all
      other parties arising from the use, possession or transfer of such
      information without limit as to time.

            6.4 CLOSING CONDITIONS. Seller shall cause all the representations
      and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement to be true and
      correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date. To the
      extent the conditions precedent to the obligations of Buyer are within the
      control of Seller, Seller shall cause such conditions to be satisfied on
      or prior to the Closing Date and, to the extent the conditions precedent
      to the obligations of Buyer are not within the control of Seller, Seller
      shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such conditions to be
      satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date.

      7. COVENANTS OF BUYER-CLOSING CONDITIONS. Buyer shall cause all the
representations

obligations of Seller are within the control of Buyer, Buyer shall cause such
conditions to be satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date and, to the extent
the conditions precedent to the obligations of Seller are not within the control
of Buyer, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
conditions to be satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date.

      material respects, all covenants and agreements required to be performed
      and satisfied by Buyer at or prior to the Closing. If, at Closing, Seller
      has knowledge that Buyer is in breach of any part of this Section 8.1, it
      shall disclose such to Buyer in order to afford Buyer an opportunity to
      correct same.

            8.2 NO LITIGATION. There shall be no suits, actions or other
      proceedings pending or threatened to enjoin the consummation of the
      transactions contemplated by this Agreement or seeking substantial damages
      against Seller in connection therewith.

            8.3 APPROVALS. All known approvals required to be obtained for the
      assignment of the Properties to Buyer shall have been obtained, waived,
      handled in accordance with Section 10.4 herein, or shall have expired
      without being exercised, except for those approvals which are customarily
      obtained after closing.

            8.4 CLOSING OBLIGATIONS. Buyer shall contemporaneously perform its
      closing obligations under Section 12.2.

            8.5 ANTITRUST LAWS. Seller and Buyer shall have fully complied with
      Title II of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, and
      rules and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, to the extent that

      contemplated by this Agreement. Any required approvals or authorizations

      9. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE OBLIGATIONS OF BUYER. The obligations of

Buyer in its sole discretion) before or at Closing, of each of the following
conditions:

      shall disclose such to Seller in order to afford Seller an opportunity to
      correct same.

            9.2 NO LITIGATION. There shall be no suits, actions or other
      proceedings pending or threatened to enjoin the consummation of the
      transactions contemplated by this Agreement or seeking substantial damages
      against Buyer in connection therewith.

            9.3 CONSENTS. All known approvals required to be obtained for the

      closing obligations under Section 12.2.

            9.5 ANTITRUST LAWS. Seller and Buyer shall have fully complied with
      Title II of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, and
      rules and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, to the extent that
      said Act, rules and regulations are applicable to the transactions
      contemplated by this Agreement. Any required approvals or authorizations
      pursuant to the Act shall have been received, and any required waiting
      period shall have expired.

      10. TITLE MATTERS.

            10.1 TITLE ADJUSTMENT. There shall not exist at Closing any uncured
      Title Defects which exceed the Title Basket Value (as defined in Section
      10.3.2(b) below) unless adjustments therefor have been made pursuant to
      the further terms of this Agreement or Buyer has elected to waive any such
      Title Defects. Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any claimed Title
      Defects not less than five (5) business days prior to Closing (Title
      Defects Notice). The Title Defects Notice shall (a) set forth in
      reasonable detail the Well and/or Lease with respect to which a claimed
      Title Defect is made, (b) the nature of such claimed Title Defect, and (c)
      Buyer's proposed calculation of the Defect Value of each claimed Title
      Defect. Any Title Defect that is not identified in the Title Defects
      Notice shall thereafter be deemed a Permitted Encumbrance and be forever
      waived and expressly assumed by Buyer.
      As used in this Agreement, the term:

                  10.1.1 "Title Defect" shall mean, with respect to Seller's
            interest in each of the Wells, any lien, mortgage, pledge, claim,
            charge, option, defect, requirement for consent to assignment and
            other encumbrance which would apply to the transaction contemplated
            hereby, other than Permitted Encumbrances, or entitle the owner
<PAGE>
            thereof to receive a percentage of all proceeds of production
            therefrom less than the Net Revenue Interest of Seller set forth on
            Exhibit A for such Well or cause Buyer to bear a greater Working
            Interest than set forth on Exhibit A for such well without a
            proportionate increase in the Net Revenue Interest therefore. For
            purposes of this Agreement, in evaluating the significance of a
            fact, circumstance or condition to determine whether the same
            constitutes a Title Defect, due consideration shall be given to the
            length of time that the particular Property has been producing
            hydrocarbon substances and whether such fact, circumstance or
            condition is of the type expected to be encountered in the area
            involved and is usual and customarily acceptable to reasonable and
            prudent operators, interest owners, and purchasers engaged in the
            business of the ownership, development and operation of oil and gas
            properties.

                  10.1.2 "Net Revenue Interest" shall mean Seller's interest in
            and to all production of oil, gas and other minerals saved, produced
            and sold from any Well after giving effect to all valid lessor's
            royalties, overriding royalties, production payments, carried
            interests, liens and other encumbrances or charges against
            production therefrom.

                  10.1.3 "Working Interest" shall mean, with respect to the
            Wells, Seller's interest in and to the full and entire leasehold
            estate created under and by virtue of the Leases and all rights and
            obligations of every kind and character appurtenant thereto or
            arising therefrom, without regard to any valid lessor's royalty,
            overriding royalties, production payments, carried interests, liens,
            or other encumbrances or charges against production therefrom
            insofar as such interest in said leasehold estate is burdened with
            the obligation to bear and pay costs of operations.

                  10.1.4 "Permitted Encumbrances" shall mean:

                        (a) Lessors' royalties, overriding royalties,
                  reversionary interests and similar burdens if the net
                  cumulative effect of the burdens does not operate to reduce
                  the interest of Seller with respect to all oil and gas
                  produced from any Well below the Net Revenue Interest for such
                  Well set forth in Exhibit A;

                        (b) Division orders and sales contracts terminable
                  without penalty upon no more than 90 days notice to the
                  purchaser;

                        (c) All preferential rights to purchase and required
                  third party consents to assignment and similar agreements with
                  respect to which waivers or consents are obtained from the
                  appropriate parties, or which are disclosed on Exhibit D
                  hereto.;
<PAGE>
                        (d) Materialman's, mechanic's, repairman's, employee's,
                  contractor's, operator's, tax, and other similar liens or
                  charges arising in the ordinary course of business for
                  obligations that are not delinquent or that will be paid and
                  discharged in the ordinary course of business or if
                  delinquent, that are being contested in good faith by
                  appropriate action of which Buyer is notified in writing
                  before Closing;

                        (e) All rights to consent by, required notices to,
                  filings with, or other actions by governmental entities in
                  connection with the sale or conveyance of oil and gas leases
                  or interests therein if they are routinely obtained subsequent
                  to the sale or conveyance;

                        (f) Easements, rights-of-way, servitudes, permits,
                  surface leases and other rights in respect of surface
                  operations that do not materially interfere with the oil and
                  gas operations to be conducted on any Well or Lease;

                        (g) All operating agreements, unit agreements, unit
                  operating agreements, pooling agreements and pooling
                  designations affecting the Properties that are either of
                  record in Seller's chain of title or reflected or referenced
                  in Seller's files;

                        (h) Conventional rights of reassignment prior to release
                  or surrender requiring notice to the holders of the rights;

                        (i) All rights reserved to or vested in any
                  governmental, statutory or public authority to control or
                  regulate any of the Properties in any manner, and all
                  applicable laws, rules and orders of governmental authority;

                        (j) The terms and conditions of the Leases, and of all
                  agreements that are of record in Seller's chain of title or
                  reflected or referenced in Seller's files;

                        (k) All other liens, charges, encumbrances, contracts,
                  agreements, instruments, obligations, defects and
                  irregularities affecting the Properties which individually or
                  in the aggregate are not such as to interfere materially with
                  the operation, value or use of any of the Properties, do not
                  prevent Buyer from receiving the proceeds of production from
                  any of the Wells, do not reduce the interest of Seller with
                  respect to all oil and gas produced from any Well below the
                  Net Revenue Interest set forth in Exhibit A for such
<PAGE>
                  Well, and/or do not materially increase the portion of the
                  costs and expenses relating to any Well that Seller is
                  obligated to pay above the Working Interest set forth in
                  Exhibit A for such Well;

                        (l) Any Title Defect relating to a Well that has existed
                  for a period of at least four years immediately prior to the
                  Effective Date (simply by virtue of its existence and not upon
                  the occurrence of a certain event) giving a third party the
                  right to take any action or assert any claim that could affect
                  Seller's right to receive income or revenues from the Well to
                  which such defect relates, and with respect to which Seller
                  has been receiving income from the affected Well without
                  contest or under notice of adverse claim for a period of at
                  least four years immediately prior to the Effective Date; and

                        (m) Any Title Defects Buyer may have expressly waived in
                  writing or which are deemed to have become Permitted
                  Encumbrances under Section 10.1.

                  10.1.5 "Defect Value" shall mean the amount by which the
            Allocated Value of any Well is reduced as a result of each Title
            Defect which is accepted by Seller or determined to be a Title
            Defect pursuant to Section 10.2.

                  10.1.6 "Allocated Value" shall mean, with respect to any Well,
            the value specified therefor on Exhibit A attached hereto.

            10.2 DETERMINATION OF TITLE DEFECTS AND DEFECT VALUES. Within five
      (5) business days after Seller's receipt of the Title Defects Notice,
      Seller shall notify Buyer whether Seller agrees with Buyer's claimed Title
      Defects and/or the proposed Defect Values therefor (Seller's Response). If
      Seller does not agree with any claimed Title Defect and/or the proposed
      Defect Value therefor, then the parties shall enter into good faith
      negotiations and shall attempt to agree on such matters. If the parties
      cannot reach agreement concerning either the existence of a Title Defect
      or a Defect Value within ten (10) business days after Buyer's receipt of
      Seller's Response, upon either party's request, the parties shall mutually
      agree on and employ an attorney experienced in title examination in the
      state where the Properties are located ("Title Consultant") to resolve all
      points of disagreement relating to Title Defects and Defect Values;
      provided, however, that if at any time the Title Consultant so chosen
      fails or refuses to perform hereunder, a new Title Consultant shall be
      chosen by the parties. The cost of any such Title Consultant shall be
      borne 50% by Seller and 50% by Buyer. Each party shall present a written
      statement of its position on the Title Defect and/or Defect Value in
      question to the Title Consultant within five (5) business days after the
      Title Consultant is selected, and the Title Consultant shall make a
      determination of all points of disagreement in accordance with the terms
      and conditions of this Agreement within ten (10)
<PAGE>
      business days of receipt of such position statements. The determination by
      the Title Consultant shall be conclusive and binding on the parties, and
      shall be enforceable against any party in any court of competent
      jurisdiction. If necessary, the Closing Date shall be deferred only as to
      those Properties affected by any unresolved disputes regarding the
      existence of a Title Defect and/or the Defect Value until the consultant
      has made a determination of the disputed issues with respect thereto and
      all subsequent dates and required activities with respect to any such
      Properties having reference to the Closing Date shall be correspondingly
      deferred; provided, however, that, unless Seller and Buyer mutually agree
      to the contrary, the Closing Date shall not be deferred in any event for
      more than sixty (60) days beyond the original Closing Date. All Properties
      as to which no such dispute(s) exist shall be conveyed to Buyer subject to
      the terms of this Agreement at Closing. Once the Title Consultant's
      determination has been expressed to both parties, Seller shall have five
      (5) business days in which to advise Buyer in writing which of the options
      available to Seller under Section 10.3 below Seller elects regarding each
      of the Properties as to which the Title Consultant has made a
      determination.

            10.3 REMEDIES FOR TITLE DEFECT. Seller shall have the right, but not
      the obligation, to cure any Title Defect accepted by Seller or determined
      to be a Title Defect pursuant to Section 10.2 above. With respect to any
      Title Defect that Seller elects not to cure or that Seller fails to cure
      at or prior to the Closing, Seller shall have the option to:

                  10.3.1 (a) Exclude the Property including pipelines and other
            personal property necessary to operate the particular well(s)
            subject to the Title Defect from this Agreement, in which event the
            Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Value of such
            Property and the calculations under 10.3.2 and 10.3.3 shall not
            include the Allocated Value for such excluded Property, or

                        (b) Sell the Property subject to such Title Defect to
                  Buyer and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Defect
                  Value for such Title Defect.

                  10.3.2 No downward adjustment of the Purchase Price on account
            of Title Defects shall occur unless:

                        (a) the Defect Value determined in accordance with this
                  Article 10 of an individual Title Defect exceeds $2,500.00,
                  and

                        (b) the aggregate amount of the Defect Values determined
                  in accordance with this Article 10 exceeds $250,000 (Title
                  Basket Value).

                  10.3.3 The amount of any such downward adjustment shall be the
            difference between the aggregate amount of Defect Values and the
            Title Basket Value. Should the aggregate Defect Values and/or the
            Allocated Values of excluded Properties
<PAGE>
            exceed ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price, then Seller shall
            have the option to terminate this Agreement, in which case neither
            party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other
            hereunder except as regards obligations imposed by any
            confidentiality agreement, which shall survive such termination and
            be enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof, and Seller will
            promptly refund the Performance Deposit.

            10.4 PREFERENTIAL PURCHASE RIGHTS AND CONSENTS TO ASSIGN. Seller
      shall make a good faith effort to insure that all preferential purchase
      rights and consents to assign arising in connection with the assignment of
      the Properties to Buyer shall have been waived or obtained or shall have
      expired before or by the time of Closing; except those which are
      customarily obtained or received after Closing; provided, however, that if
      notice of the transaction contemplated herein has been given to a party or
      parties entitled to a preferential purchase right with respect thereto,
      but the time during which any such party or parties has to exercise such
      right has not expired, such shall not be considered as a Title Defect and
      the Property or Properties subject to such right shall be conveyed to
      Buyer at the Closing. In the event that any such preferential purchase
      right is timely exercised, Seller shall notify Buyer thereof, whereupon
      Buyer shall assign the Property or Properties affected thereby to the
      party or parties exercising such preferential purchase right with the
      consideration therefor to be paid directly to Buyer.

            10.5 MATERIAL CHANGE IN CONDITION. Seller shall notify Buyer (i) as
      to any well that was producing at the Effective Date that ceases to
      produce prior to Closing and there is no reasonable expectation by Seller
      that such well will produce in the future or (ii) a well or field is
      required to be shut in for a period in excess of 180 days due to a
      violation of any regulation or governmental ruling. Such notice shall be
      in writing and delivered in a reasonable period of time after Seller has
      actual knowledge of either (i) or (ii) above. The value (as applied to
      either (i) or (ii), hereinafter referred to as "Change Value") to be
      attributable to (i) above, shall be the allocated value for such well, or
      in the case of (ii) above, the total of the allocated values for all wells
      affected. The allocated value for each well shall be provided by Buyer to
      Seller at the execution of this Agreement. As to any well or field that
      qualifies as a Material Change in Condition, Seller will have the option
      of retaining such well or field and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by
      the allocated value therefore. No downward adjustment of the Purchase
      Price on account of a Material Change in Condition shall occur unless:

                        (a) the Change Value determined in accordance with this
                  Article 10.5 of an individual Change Value exceeds $2,500.00,
                  and

                        (b) the aggregate amount of all Change Values determined
                  in accordance with this Article 10.5 exceeds $250,000 ("Change
                  Basket Value").
<PAGE>
      The amount of any such downward adjustment shall be the difference between
      the aggregate amount of Change Value and the Change Basket Value.

      Should the aggregate Change Value and/or the Allocated Value of excluded
      Properties exceed ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price, then either
      party shall have the option to terminate this Agreement, in which case
      neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other
      hereunder except as regards obligations imposed by any confidentiality
      agreement, which shall survive such termination and be enforceable in
      accordance with the terms thereof, and Seller will promptly refund the
      Performance Deposit.


      11. SUSPENSE FUNDS HELD BY SELLER. Seller agrees to convey and Buyer
agrees to receive all suspense funds held by Seller as of the Effective Date for
the benefit of royalty, overriding royalty interest and working interest owners
attributable to the Properties, the amount of such funds to be adjusted with
respect to suspense funds received and disbursed by Seller from and after the
Effective Date, and Buyer shall assume all past, present and future liability
associated with such funds, but only as to the suspense funds actually
transferred, and not to any liability resulting from Seller's failure to pay or
retain any amounts prior to the Effective Date in addition to the suspense funds
so transferred. All past, present and future liability associated with such
funds shall be assumed by Buyer and Buyer agrees to protect, defend, indemnify
and hold Seller and its employees harmless from and against any and all costs,
expenses, claims, demands, and causes of action of every kind and character
(including attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of, incident to, or in
connection therewith.

            12.1 THE CLOSING. The sale and purchase of the Properties pursuant
      to this Agreement shall be consummated (the Closing) in Houston, Texas at
      the offices of Sonat Exploration Company on or before October 30, 1998
      (the Closing Date).

            instruments of assignment, in substantially the form of the
            Assignment, Bill of Sale and Conveyance set forth as Exhibit F

            funds (wire
<PAGE>
            transfer), the Preliminary Amount. The "Preliminary Amount" shall be
            that amount to be determined by Seller prior to the Closing Date as
            an estimate of the final computation of the Final Purchase Price
            less the Performance Deposit. Seller shall provide Buyer a closing
            statement reflecting the Preliminary Amount at least two (2)
            business days prior to the Closing.

                  12.2.3 Seller and Buyer shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
            division orders, transfer orders or letters in lieu thereof
            directing all purchasers of production from the Properties to make
            payment of proceeds attributable to such production occurring on or
            after the Effective Date to Buyer.

                  12.2.4 As to those Properties operated by Seller, Seller and
            Buyer shall execute all appropriate state or local forms required to
            be executed to effect the administrative change of operator of such
            Properties from Seller to Buyer, and Seller shall file such forms
            within five (5) business days after Closing. Also with respect to
            any Wells for which Seller is designated as the operator under the
            applicable operating or other similar agreement, Seller shall send
            letters to all working interest owners advising of Seller's
            resignation as operator and recommending Buyer as the successor
            operator.

                  12.2.5 Seller shall deliver to the Buyer possession of the
            Properties at the Closing.

      13. POST-CLOSING ADJUSTMENTS.

            13.1 FINAL SETTLEMENT STATEMENT. After the Closing Date, Seller
      shall prepare, in accordance with this Agreement and with generally
      accepted accounting principles consistently applied, a statement ("Final
      Settlement Statement"), a copy of which shall be delivered by Seller to
      Buyer no later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, setting forth
      each adjustment to the Purchase Price necessary to determine the Final
      Purchase Price and showing the calculation of such adjustments in
      accordance with Article 3. Buyer shall have forty-five (45) days after
      receipt of the Final Settlement Statement to review such statement and to
      provide written notice to Seller of Buyer's objection to any item on the
      statement. Buyer's notice shall clearly identify the item(s) objected to
      and the reasons and support for the objection(s). If Buyer does not
      provide written objection(s) within the 45-day period, the Final
      Settlement Statement shall be deemed correct and shall not be subject to
      further adjustment. If Buyer provides written objection(s) within the
      45-day period, the Final Settlement Statement shall be deemed correct with
      respect to the items not objected to. Buyer and Seller shall meet to
      negotiate and resolve the objections within fifteen (15) days of Seller's
      receipt of Buyer's objections. If Buyer and Seller agree on all
      objections, the adjusted Final Settlement Statement shall be deemed
      correct and shall not be subject to further adjustment. Any items not
      agreed to at the end of the 15-day period may, at either
<PAGE>
      party's request, be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Section
      13.2 below.

            13.2 ARBITRATION. If Seller and Buyer cannot agree upon the Final
      Settlement Statement, the firm of Ernst and Young, L.L.P. or other
      mutually acceptable accounting firm, shall act as an arbitrator and decide
      all points of disagreement with respect to the Final Settlement Statement.
      The decision of the arbitrator on all such points shall be binding upon
      the parties. The costs and expenses of the arbitrator shall be borne fifty
      percent (50%) by Seller and fifty percent (50%) by Buyer.

            13.3 PAYMENT OF FINAL PURCHASE PRICE . If the Final Purchase Price
      is more than the Preliminary Amount, Buyer shall pay such difference to
      Seller in immediately available funds within five (5) business days after
      the parties have agreed upon the Final Settlement Statement. If the Final
      Purchase Price is less than the Preliminary Amount, Seller shall pay such
      difference to Buyer in immediately available funds within five (5)
      business days after the parties have agreed upon the Final Settlement
      Statement.

      14. ASSUMPTION OF CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS. Except as provided for in Section
19.6.1(a), at Closing, Buyer shall assume all costs and liabilities and
discharge all obligations of Seller (a) under all leases, operating agreements,
production sales contracts, farmout agreements and other contracts or agreements
respecting the Properties or relating the ownership or operation of the
Properties from and after the Effective Date, and (b) with respect to all
Imbalances associated with the Properties, regardless of their nature or of the
time at which they accrued.

      15. LIMITATION OF WARRANTIES. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Properties are being sold by Seller to Buyer without
recourse, covenant, or warranty of any kind, express, implied, or statutory,
except as to title which shall pass with a special warranty restricted to by
through or under Seller only, WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE GENERALITY OF THE
IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE, SELLER CONVEYS THE PROPERTIES AS-IS, WHERE-IS
AND WITH ALL FAULTS AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS AND NEGATES:

       (a)  ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY,

            (b)   ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
            PURPOSE, AND

            (c) ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OF CONFORMITY TO MODELS OR
            SAMPLES OF MATERIALS.

      SELLER ALSO EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS AND NEGATES ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS
WARRANTY AT COMMON LAW, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO THE ACCURACY OF ANY
OF THE INFORMATION FURNISHED WITH RESPECT TO THE
<PAGE>
EXISTENCE OR EXTENT OF RESERVES OR THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTIES BASED THEREON OR
THE CONDITION OR STATE OF REPAIR OF ANY OF THE PROPERTIES.

      THIS DISCLAIMER AND DENIAL OF WARRANTY ALSO EXTENDS TO ANY EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO THE VOLUMES AND PRICES BUYER AND SELLER
ARE OR WILL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE FROM PRODUCTION OF OIL, GAS OR OTHER
SUBSTANCES FROM THE PROPERTIES, IT BEING UNDERSTOOD THAT ALL RESERVE, PRICE AND
VALUE ESTIMATES UPON WHICH BUYER HAS RELIED OR IS RELYING HAVE BEEN DERIVED BY
THE INDIVIDUAL EVALUATION OF BUYER.

      THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES MADE BY SELLER AND BUYER IN ARTICLES 4
AND 5 SHALL NOT SURVIVE CLOSING. AFTER CLOSING, NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY
RIGHTS OR CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY BASED UPON THE BREACH OF ANY SUCH
REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES.

      16. CROSS-INDEMNIFICATION. Except as expressly limited elsewhere in this
Agreement:

            16.1 Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and
      against any and all liability, loss, cost and expense (including, without
      limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) that are
      attributable to the Properties conveyed to Buyer and are attributable to
      periods of time on or after the Closing Date or that are attributable to a
      breach by Buyer of any of its surviving representations, warranties or
      covenants hereunder, and

            16.2 Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and
      against any and all liability, loss, cost and expense (including, without
      limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) that are
      attributable to the Properties conveyed to Buyer and are attributable to
      periods of time before the Closing Date or that are attributable to a
      breach by Seller of any of its surviving representations, warranties or
      covenants hereunder.

      17. CASUALTY LOSS. Prior to Closing, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of
any Casualty Loss of which Seller becomes aware. "Casualty Loss" shall mean,
with respect to all or any material portion of a Property, any destruction by
fire, blowout or other casualty (above or below the ground) or any taking, or
pending or threatened taking, in condemnation or under the right to eminent
domain of any Property or portion thereof occurring between the time this
Agreement is executed and the Closing Date. If any Casualty Loss occurs, Seller
shall transfer to Buyer such Property notwithstanding such Casualty Loss and
transfer to Buyer such Property insurance proceeds, claims, awards and other
payments arising out of such Casualty Loss. Provided however, prior to Closing,
Buyer shall have the option of removing and not purchasing the affected Property
from the transaction contemplated by this Agreement in the event that the
insurance proceeds are less than the Allocated Value. Seller shall not
voluntarily compromise, settle or adjust any amounts payable by reason of any
Casualty Loss without first obtaining the written consent of Buyer.
<PAGE>
      18. TERMINATION AND REMEDIES.

            18.1 TERMINATION. Without limiting any other legal or equitable
      remedies available to Seller, if the Closing has not occurred on or prior
      to November 15, 1998 Seller may terminate this Agreement, in which case it
      shall give written notice of the termination to Buyer and Seller shall
      retain the Performance Deposit. Provided however, if on such date there
      exist a good faith dispute as to a material title matter or material
      environmental condition, or the value claimed in relation thereto, then
      such date shall be extended to November 30, 1998 to allow the parties time
      to try and resolve such dispute.

            18.3 SOLE REMEDY OF BUYER PRIOR TO CLOSING. If at any time prior to
      Closing, a material representation or warranty made herein by Seller is
      incorrect or if Seller fails to fully and timely comply with any of
      Seller's obligations as set forth herein or as required by applicable law,
      Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy against Seller shall be to terminate
      this Agreement (unless an alternative remedy shall be mutually agreed upon
      between Buyer and Seller); provided, however, if such a breach consists of
      Seller intentionally refusing to execute and deliver the documents
      referred to in Section 12.2, Buyer may seek injunctive relief requiring
      Seller to execute and deliver such documents in accordance with the terms
      of this Agreement. In the event this Agreement is terminated in accordance
      with this Section 18.3, Seller will promptly refund the Performance
      Deposit.

      19.   ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

            19.1 PRESENCE OF WASTES, NORM, HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES, AND ASBESTOS.
      Buyer acknowledges that the Properties have been used to explore for,
      develop and produce oil and gas, and that spills of wastes, crude oil,
      produced water, hazardous substances, and other materials may have
      occurred thereon. Additionally, the Properties, including production
      equipment, may contain asbestos, hazardous substances, or Naturally
      Occurring Radioactive Material ("NORM"). NORM may affix or attach itself
      to the inside of wells, materials, and equipment as scale or in other
      forms, and NORM-containing material may have been buried or otherwise
      disposed of on the Properties. Special procedures may be required for
      remediating, removing, transporting, and disposing of asbestos, NORM,
      hazardous substances, and other materials from the Property, and Buyer
      assumes all liability for the assessment, remediation, removal,
      transportation, and disposal of these materials and associated activities
      in accordance with the applicable rules, regulations, and requirements of
      governmental agencies.

            19.2 ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION. As used in the following
      Sections, "Adverse Environmental Condition" means:
<PAGE>
                  (a) any contamination (exclusive of NORM present in or on any
            Property) or condition exceeding currently-allowed regulatory limits
            and not otherwise permanently authorized by permit or law, resulting
            from any discharge, release, disposal, production, storage,
            treatment, or any other activities on, in or from any Property, or
            the migration or transportation from other lands to any Property,
            prior to the Closing Date, of any wastes, pollutants, contaminants,
            hazardous materials or other materials or substances subject to
            regulation relating to the protection of the environment, including,
            but not limited to, the Clean Air Act, the Comprehensive
            Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980
            ("CERCLA"), the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, the Safe
            Drinking Water Act, the Toxic Substance Control Act, the Hazardous
            and Solid Waste Amendments Act of 1984, the Superfund Amendments and
            Reauthorization Act of 1986, the Hazardous Materials Transportation
            Act, the Clean Water Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the
            Endangered Species Act, the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, the
            National Historic Preservation Act, and the Oil Pollution Act of
            1990, as well as any state and local regulation or law governing the
            same, similar or related matters, and

                  (b) any such contamination or condition temporarily authorized
            by permit, fee agreement or other arrangement.

            19.3 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT. After the execution of this
      Agreement, Buyer shall have the opportunity to conduct at its sole risk
      and expense an environmental assessment of the Properties. Seller will
      provide reasonable access for this purpose to Properties operated by
      Seller; for any Property not operated by Seller, however, Buyer must
      contact the operator of any such non-operated Property directly. Buyer or
      any of its representatives and agents must comply with Seller's
      environmental and safety rules and policies while on Seller's Properties.
      Buyer agrees it will not disclose any information obtained in its
      environmental assessment to third parties unless agreed to in writing by
      Seller or unless such disclosure is expressly required by applicable law
      or regulation or is compelled pursuant to legal process of any court or
      governmental authority. Buyer will notify Seller in advance of any such
      disclosure and will furnish Seller copies of all materials to be disclosed
      prior to any disclosure thereof to third parties. As soon as possible
      after Buyer's receipt thereof, Buyer shall forward to Seller copies of all
      reports, data, analyses, test results, remediation cost estimates, and
      recommended remediation procedures or other information concerning or
      derived from Buyer's environmental assessment.

            19.4 NOTICE OF ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. Buyer shall notify
      Seller in writing of any claimed Adverse Environmental Condition not less
      than five (5) business days prior to Closing ("Environmental Defects
      Notice"). The Environmental Defects Notice shall (a) set forth in
      reasonable detail the Well and/or Lease with respect to which a claimed
      Adverse Environmental Condition is made, (b) the nature of such claimed
      Adverse
<PAGE>
      Environmental Condition, and (c) Buyer's proposed calculation of the cost
      to remediate each claimed Adverse Environmental Condition ("Remediation
      Value") Buyer shall absolutely and forever waive its right to assert any
      claim or liability against Seller arising out of or in any way related to
      any Adverse Environmental Condition not set forth in the Environmental
      Defects Notice.

            19.5 DETERMINATION OF ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND
      REMEDIATION VALUES. Within five (5) business days after Seller's receipt
      of the Environmental Defects Notice, Seller shall notify Buyer whether
      Seller agrees with Buyer's claimed Adverse Environmental Conditions and/or
      the Remediation Value (Seller's Environmental Response). If Seller does
      not agree with any claimed Adverse Environmental Condition and/or the
      Remediation Value, then the parties shall enter into good faith
      negotiations and shall attempt to agree on such matters. If the parties
      cannot reach agreement concerning either the existence of an Adverse
      Environmental Condition or the Remediation Value within ten (10) business
      days after Buyer's receipt of Seller's Environmental Response, upon either
      party's request, the parties shall mutually agree on a consultant
      experienced in environmental matters in the state where the Properties are
      located ("Environmental Consultant") to resolve all points of disagreement
      with respect to such matters. If at any time any Environmental Consultant
      so chosen fails or refuses to perform hereunder, a new Environmental
      Consultant shall be chosen by the parties. The cost of any such consultant
      shall be borne 50% by Seller and 50% by Buyer. Each party shall present a
      written statement of its position on the Adverse Environmental Condition
      and/or the Remediation Value in question to the consultant within five (5)
      business days after the Environmental Consultant is selected, and the
      Environmental Consultant shall make a determination of all points of
      disagreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement
      within ten (10) business days of receipt of such position statements. The
      determination by the Environmental Consultant shall be conclusive and
      binding on the parties, and shall be enforceable against any party in any
      court of competent jurisdiction. If necessary, the Closing Date shall be
      deferred only as to those Properties affected by any unresolved disputes
      regarding the existence of a Adverse Environmental Condition and/or the
      Remediation Value until the Environmental Consultant has made a
      determination of the disputed issues with respect thereto and all
      subsequent dates and required activities with respect to any such
      Properties having reference to the Closing Date shall be correspondingly
      deferred; provided, however, that, unless Seller and Buyer mutually agree
      to the contrary, the Closing Date shall not be deferred in any event for
      more than sixty (60) days beyond the original Closing Date. All Properties
      as to which no such dispute(s) exist shall be conveyed to Buyer subject to
      the terms of this Agreement at Closing. Once the Environmental
      Consultant's determination has been expressed to both parties, Seller
      shall have five (5) business days in which to advise Buyer in writing
      which of the options available to Seller under Section 19.6 below Seller
      elects regarding each of the Properties as to which the consultant has
      made a determination.

            19.6  REMEDIES FOR ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
<PAGE>
                  19.6.1 As to any Adverse Environmental Condition accepted by
            Seller or determined to be an Adverse Environmental Condition,
            Seller shall have the election to:

                              (a) remediate such Adverse Environmental Condition
                  at Seller's sole cost in accordance with applicable
                  environmental laws, and there shall be no adjustment to the
                  Purchase Price in respect of such Adverse Environmental
                  Condition and the provisions of Section 19.7 shall thereafter
                  apply in all respects;

                        (b) reduce the Purchase Price by the applicable
                  Remediation Value, which in no event shall exceed the
                  Allocated Value of the Unit and/or Well affected by such
                  Adverse Environmental Condition, in which event Seller shall
                  have no other or further obligation or liability in respect of
                  such Adverse Environmental Condition and the provisions of
                  Section 19.7 shall thereafter apply in all respects; or

                        (c) delete from this Agreement the Property which
                  contains the Adverse Environmental Condition and adjust the
                  Purchase Price by the Allocated Value of such Property.

                  19.6.2 No downward adjustment of the Purchase Price on account
            of Adverse Environmental Conditions shall occur unless:

                        (a) the Remediation Value determined in accordance with
                  this Article 19 of an individual Adverse Environmental
                  Condition exceeds $2,500.00, and

                        (b) unless the aggregate sum of all Remediation Values
                  exceeds $250,000 (Environmental Basket Value), and the amount
                  of downward adjustment shall be the difference between the
                  aggregate sum of all Remediation Values and the Environmental
                  Basket Value.

            Should the aggregate sum of the Remediation Values exceed ten
            percent (10%) of the Purchase Price, then Seller shall have the
            option to terminate this Agreement, in which case neither party
            shall have any further liability or obligation to the other
            hereunder except as regards obligations imposed by any
            confidentiality agreement, which shall survive such termination and
            be enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof, and Seller will
            promptly refund the Performance Deposit.

                  19.6.3 If Seller elects 19.6.1(a) above, Seller will exercise
            all reasonable efforts and diligence to complete the remediation
            work within six (6) months of the
<PAGE>
            Closing Date, but any failure by Seller to complete such remediation
            efforts by such time shall not relieve Seller of its duty to satisfy
            its obligation hereunder. Buyer shall allow Seller and its agents
            and representatives such access to the Properties as is reasonably
            necessary for performance of remediation work. Seller will conduct
            such work so as not to unreasonably interfere with Buyer's
            operations.

            19.7 BUYER'S INDEMNIFICATION OF ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
      Notwithstanding anything contained in Article 16, except for the costs
      associated with Seller's remediation of any Adverse Environmental
      Conditions pursuant to Section 19.6.1(a) above, Buyer shall release,
      defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Seller from and against any and all
      claims, demands, fines/penalties, causes of action, liabilities and
      obligations, and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
      reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) associated with all Adverse
