                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


Board of Directors
Texoil, Inc.

      We have audited the accompanying Historical Statements of Revenues and
Direct Operating Expenses of certain oil and gas properties of Sonat Exploration
Company (the "Sonat Properties"), acquired by Texoil, Inc. (the "Company"), for
the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996. These historical statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these historical statements based on our audits.

      We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards required that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the historical statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting amounts of disclosures in the historical statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the historical
statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

      The accompanying historical statements were prepared as described in Note
1 for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the
revenues and direct operating expenses of the Sonat Properties.

      In our opinion, the historical statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and direct operating expenses of
the Sonat Properties for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                NOTES TO HISTORICAL STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND
                          DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      On September 17, 1998, Texoil, Inc. (the "Company"), signed an agreement
to acquire from Sonat Exploration Company ("Sonat"), effective April 1, 1998,
certain oil and gas properties (the "Sonat Properties"). The acquisition closed
on October 30, 1998, for approximately $17.1 million net of estimated
post-closing adjustments.

      The revenues and direct operating expenses associated with the Sonat
Properties were derived from Sonat's accounting records. Revenues and direct
operating expenses, as set forth in the accompanying historical statements,
include oil, gas, and plant product revenues and associated direct operating
expenses related to the net revenue interest and net working interest,
respectively, in the acquired properties. The historical statements include oil,
gas, and plant product revenues net of royalties. Expenses include labor,
services, repairs and maintenance, and supplies utilized to operate and maintain
the wells and related equipment, as well as severance and ad valorem taxes.

      The accompanying historical statements vary from an income statement in
that they do not show certain expenses which were incurred in connection with
ownership of the acquired properties including related general and
administrative expenses and income taxes. These costs were not separately
allocated to the acquired properties in Sonat's accounting records. Any pro
forma allocation would be both time consuming and expensive and would not be a
reliable estimate of what these costs would actually have been had the acquired
properties been operated historically as a stand alone entity. In addition,
these allocations, if made using historical general and administrative structure
and tax burdens, would not produce allocations that would be indicative of the
historical performance of the acquired properties had they been assets of the
Company, due to the greatly varying size, structure, operations and accounting
of the two companies. The accompanying historical statements also do not include
provisions for depreciation, depletion and amortization as such amounts would
not be indicative of those costs which would be incurred by the Company upon
allocation of the purchase price. For the same reason, primarily the lack of
segregated or easily obtainable reliable data on asset values and related
liabilities, a balance sheet is not presented for the Sonat Properties.

      At the end of the economic life of these fields, certain restoration and
abandonment costs in excess of salvage value may be incurred by the respective
owners of these fields. No accrual for these costs is included in direct
operating expenses.

    With respect to gas sales, the entitlement method is used for recording
revenues. Under this approach, revenues are based on the acquired properties'
proportionate share of the related production.

    The interim financial data for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and
1997, is unaudited; however, in the opinion of the Company, the interim data
includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods.

2.  SUPPLEMENTARY OIL AND GAS INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

    PROVED RESERVE ESTIMATES

    Proved oil and gas reserves cannot be measured exactly. Reserve estimates
are based on many factors related to reservoir performance which require
evaluations by the engineers interpreting the available data, as well as price
and other economic factors. The reliability of these estimates at any point in
time depends on both the quality and quantity of the technical and economic
data, the production performance of the reservoirs, as well as extensive
engineering judgment. Consequently, reserve estimates are subject to revision as
additional data becomes available during the productive life of a reservoir.
When a commercial reservoir is discovered, proved reserves are initially
determined based on limited data from the first well or wells. Subsequent data
may better define the extent of the reservoir and additional production
performance, well tests and engineering studies will likely improve the
reliability of the reserve estimate. The evolution of technology may also result
in the application of improved recovery techniques such as supplemental or
enhanced recovery projects, or both, which have the potential to increase
reserves beyond those envisioned during the early years of a reservoir's
producing life.

    Proved reserves are those quantities which, upon analysis of geological and
engineering data, appear with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in the
future from known oil and gas reservoirs under current prices and costs as of
the date the estimate is made. Proved reserves are classified as developed or
undeveloped. Proved developed reserves are those reserves which can be expected
to be recovered from existing wells. Proved undeveloped reserves are those
reserves which can be expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled
acreage or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required.
Proved reserves represent the estimated recoverable volumes after deducting from
gross reserves the portion due landowners or others as royalty or operating
interests.

    Estimates of proved reserves include and rely upon a production and
development strategy. The Company's estimates are based upon plans developed
using current information and reflect the Company's risk tolerance and
philosophy related to future capital expenditures associated with

producing incremental reserves during the remaining life of the acquired
properties, as well as its plans with respect to developing proved undeveloped
reserves. Proved undeveloped reserves typically involve a higher degree of
uncertainty and risk. As a result, the Company's estimates may not be comparable
to other oil and gas producers. In any case, many factors such as changes in
prices or costs or variances from sound technical estimates, made using best
information available, may cause estimates at any point in time to vary
significantly from actual future production.

    Estimates of proved reserves for prior periods were prepared by the Company
retrospectively using currently available information. Historical reserve
estimates and development costs were not made available to the Company by Sonat.
Accordingly, the unaudited historical supplementary oil and gas information was
developed by the Company using as a base, the Company's estimates of proved
reserves, using independently prepared reserve reports compiled in connection
with financing the acquisition, and (1) actual historical production data, (2)
historical operating expense rates, (3) estimates of product prices based on
industry indices and existing differentials, and (4) development costs estimated
by the Company. Management of the Company believes the supplemental oil and gas
information presented herein is reasonable, under the circumstances, and
methodologies employed are consistent with reasonable industry practices.

    Estimated quantities of proved oil and gas reserves and of changes in
quantities of proved developed and undeveloped reserves for each of the periods
indicated were as follows:

STANDARDIZED MEASURE OF DISCOUNTED FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS

      The following disclosures concerning the standardized measure of
discounted future cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves are presented in
accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 69 ("SFAS
69"). As prescribed by SFAS 69, the amounts shown are based on prices and costs
at the end of each period and a 10 percent annual discount factor. Since prices
and costs do not remain static, and no price or costs changes have been
considered, the results are not necessarily indicative of the fair market value
of the estimated proved reserves, but they do provide a common benchmark which
may enhance the user's ability to project future cash flows.

      The following Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Income for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and for the year ended December 31,
1997, and the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30,
1998 (collectively, the "Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements") are based
on the historical consolidated financial statements of Texoil, Inc. (the
"Company") and the Historical Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating
Expenses of the oil and gas properties acquired from Sonat Exploration Company
(the "Sonat Properties") adjusted to give effect for the Sonat Properties and
borrowings under an increased and amended credit facility (the "Amended Credit
Facility"). The Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements account for the

effect to the acquisition of the Sonat Properties and the borrowings under the
Amended Credit Facility as if the acquisition and borrowings had been
consummated on January 1 of each period. The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated
Balance Sheet gives effect to the acquisition of the Sonat Properties and the
borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility as if the acquisition and
borrowings had been consummated on September 30, 1998.

      The pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying Notes to Unaudited
Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements are based upon available information
and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable.

      The Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements are presented for
illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the Company's
results of operations or financial condition would actually have been had the
acquisition of the Sonat Properties occurred on such dates or to project the
Company's results of operations or financial condition for any future date or
period.

                                                        =======

      The $21.0 million purchase price, effective April 1, 1998, per the
      Purchase and Sale Agreement dated September 17, 1998, as adjusted for the
      exclusion of certain properties has been further adjusted to reflect
      activity from such date to closing and arrive at the above estimated net
      purchase price. Such adjustments primarily include revenues less direct
      operating expenses, capital expenditures, production imbalances, pro-rated
      ad valorem taxes, title defects, material changes in wells and other
      adjustments for the period April 1, 1998 through October 30, 1998, the
      closing date, as set forth in the purchase agreement. Certain adjustments
      have been made at closing and further adjustments will be made
      post-closing. Final settlement has not yet occurred and accordingly, the
      final net purchase price may vary from amounts estimated herein. Earnest
      money in the amount of $1,000,000 paid by a related party was repaid at
      closing, with interest.

      The above estimated purchase price is allocated based on the fair value of
      the assets acquired as follows (in thousands):

      Proved oil and gas property costs                 $15,120
      Unproved oil and gas property costs                 2,000
                                                        -------
      Estimated purchase price                          $17,120
                                                        =======

      Management is currently evaluating the unproved component of the estimated
      net purchase price and such allocation is subject to change.

(b)   Represents estimated operator fees pursuant to operating agreements,
      associated with acquired properties reflected as a reclassification to
      revenue rather than recording such fees as a reduction of operating
      expenses.

(c)   Represents adjustment to depreciation, depletion and amortization based
      upon combined historical production, reserves and cost basis.

(d)   Represents adjustment to interest expense to reflect borrowings under the
      increased and Amended Credit Facility at an assumed annual interest rate
      of 7.5%

(e)   Represents adjustment to income tax expense as a result of the acquisition
      of the Sonat Properties assuming an effective tax rate of 34%.
