            Except as set forth in Exhibits A, B and C hereto and
in the following paragraph, none of the Reporting Persons, nor,
to the best knowledge of any of the Reporting Persons, any other
person identified pursuant to this Item 2, within the last five
years was (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traf-
fic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) a party to a
civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of compe-
tent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is

            On January 16, 1992, Dillon Read (along with 97 other

consented to the entry of an Order in settlement of an SEC Admin-
istrative Proceeding (File No. 3-7646) entitled In the Matter of
the Distribution of Securities Issued by Certain Government Spon-
sored Enterprises ("GSE").  The Order stated the SEC's findings
that Dillon Read made and kept certain records that did not accu-
rately reflect Dillon Read's customers' orders for certain GSE
securities in violation of Section 17(a) (and Rules 17a-3 and
17a-4 thereunder).  The Order further provided that Dillon Read
shall cease and desist from any violation in the future, pay a
penalty of $100,000, and maintain policies and procedures reason-
ably designed to ensure future compliance with the provisions of
Section 17(a) and Rules 17a-3 and 17a-4 thereunder.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

            Effective June 4, 1996, TransMontaigne Oil Company, a
privately owned holding company ("Old TransMontaigne") merged
with and into Sheffield Exploration Company, Inc., a publicly
held company ("Sheffield"), with Sheffield as survivor of the

<PAGE>
                                     -4-


transaction.  Immediately thereafter, Sheffield changed its
name to TransMontaigne Oil Company ("the Company").  The common
stock of Old TransMontaigne was converted at the effective time
to Common Stock of the Company, on a share for share basis.
Dillon Read, as agent, and each of the Funds received the
shares of Common Stock held by them pursuant to the conversion
of the shares of common stock of Old TransMontaigne held by
each of them.  Such shares of Old TransMontaigne were issued in
exchange for shares of common stock of Continental Ozark Corpo-
ration ("COC") on May 10, 1995, the effective time of the
merger between Old TransMontaigne and COC, with COC as survi-
vor.  Immediately after such merger, COC changed its name to
TransMontaigne Oil Company. Dillon Read, as agent, and each of
the Funds held shares of Series A Preferred Stock of COC, which
were converted into shares of common stock of COC prior to the
merger.  In connection with the merger of Old TransMontaigne
into COC and the recapitalization of COC, Dillon Read, as
agent, Yorktown II and Lexington IV purchased additional common
stock of COC in the amounts of 133,333, 555,556 and 5,556
shares of common stock, respectively.

            With respect to the investments made by each of the
Funds in COC, Yorktown, Yorktown II, Lexington III and Lexington
IV purchased the shares of COC purchased by it with partnership
funds made available to it pursuant to a capital call from its
limited partners.  As set forth under Items 5 and 6 below,
550,134 shares of Common Stock owned of record by Dillon Read
(the "Agency Shares") are held by it as agent for certain man-
aging directors, former managing directors, officers and former
officers of Dillon Read listed on Exhibit D, attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference, under powers of attorney pursu-
ant to which Dillon Read has been granted sole voting power and
sole investment power with respect to such securities.  Such Com-
mon Stock was received by each of the persons listed on Exhibit D
hereto upon the conversion of shares of Old TransMontaigne held
by them into Common Stock on June 4, 1996.  The source and the
aggregate amount of funds used to purchase the Common Stock by
each of the persons listed on Exhibit D hereto is set forth in
Exhibit D hereto.  The table below sets forth the aggregate
amount of funds used in making the purchases of the Common Stock
by each of the Funds and Dillon Read, as agent.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

            All of the shares of Common Stock were acquired by the
Reporting Persons in transactions originally involving invest-
ments by the Reporting Persons in COC, as more fully described in
Item 3 of this Schedule 13D.  The merger of Old TransMontaigne
into Sheffield, and the subsequent change of name of Sheffield,
as survivor, to TransMontaigne Oil Company was effective June 4,
1996.

            The Funds acquired the Common Stock owned of record by
them in the ordinary course of their respective investment activ-
ities and as contemplated by their organizational documents.
Dillon Read acquired the 550,134 Agency Shares owned of record by
it pursuant to powers of attorney executed by the individuals
listed on Exhibit D hereto.

            By reason of Dillon Read's relationship with the Funds
(see Item 2), Dillon Read may be in a position to influence
whether the Company engages in certain corporate transactions,
including those transactions enumerated under paragraphs (a)
through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

      issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock of
      COC (including Pay In Kind Shares, issued from time to time,
      on the Series A Preferred Stock of COC) and includes shares
      of common stock of COC purchased upon the recapitalization
      of COC.  As the result of the two mergers and subsequent
      changes of corporate names described in this Item 3, these
      shares have been converted into Common Stock of the Company.

owned by the Funds, and with respect to the Agency Shares.  By
reason of their relationship with one another, Dillon Read, DRI
and DR Holding may be deemed to share voting and dispositive pow-
ers as to all of the shares of Common Stock reported in Item 5(a)
that Dillon Read may be deemed to beneficially own; however, as
noted above, DR Holding and DRI disclaim beneficial ownership of
such shares.

                             REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

     THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of April
17, 1996, is by and among TRANSMONTAIGNE OIL COMPANY, a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), and the entities listed on the signature pages hereof (the
"Institutional Investors").

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Institutional Investors are parties to a
Stockholders Agreement dated as of May 10, 1995 (the "Stockholders Agreement")
that, among other things, provides for registration rights for certain
stockholders of the Company, including the Institutional Investors; and

     WHEREAS, the parties wish to provide for registration rights for the
Institutional Investors in addition to the registration rights contained in the
Stockholders Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the aforesaid and the mutual promises
hereinafter made, the parties hereto agree as follows:


                                    ARTICLE I

                                   DEFINITIONS

     SECTION 1.1. Definitions. The following terms, as used herein, have the
following meanings:

     "Affiliate" of any specified Person means any other Person directly or
indirectly controlling, controlled by or under direct or indirect common control
with such specified Person. For the purposes of this definition, "control" when
used with respect to any Person means the power to direct the management and
policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership
of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms "controlling" and
"controlled" have meanings correlative to the foregoing.

     "Board" shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company.

     "Business Day" means each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
which is not a day on which banking institutions in New York City, New York,
Boston, Massachusetts or Fayetteville, Arkansas are authorized or obligated by
law or executive order to close.

     "Commission" means the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other
Federal agency from time to time administering the 1933 Act or the Exchange Act.

     "Common Stock" means all of the shares of the Company's $.10 par value
Common Stock which may be issued and outstanding from time to time.



<PAGE>



     "Common Stock Equivalent" means any other securities of any Person
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock (whether at the
option of such Person or of the holder of such securities).

     "Company" has the meaning set forth in the Introduction to this Agreement.

     "Exchange Act" means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

     "1933 Act" means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

     "Person" means an individual, a corporation, a partnership, a joint

organization, including a government, a political subdivision or an agency or
instrumentality thereof.

     "Registrable Securities" means any shares of Common Stock now owned or
hereafter acquired by an Institutional Investor and any shares of Common Stock
which may be issued or distributed in respect of such Common Stock by way of
concession, stock dividend or stock split or other distribution,
recapitalization or reclassification, but with respect to such shares of Common
Stock, only so long as such shares sold are "Restricted Securities." A share of
Common Stock shall be deemed to be a "Restricted Security" until such time as
such share (i) has been effectively registered under the 1933 Act pursuant to a
registration statement with respect to the sale of such share and disposed of in
accordance with such registration statement or (ii) has been distributed to the
public pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) under the
1933 Act, (iii) it shall have been otherwise transferred, new certificates for
it not bearing a legend restricting further transfer shall have been delivered
by the Company and subsequent disposition of it shall not require registration
or qualification of it under the 1933 Act or any state securities or blue sky
law then in force, or (iv) it shall have ceased to be outstanding.


                                   ARTICLE II

                         REGISTRATION AND RELATED RIGHTS

     SECTION 2.1. Company Registration.

     2.1.1 Right to Piggyback on Registration of Common Stock and Common Stock
Equivalents. Subject to Section 2.1.3, if at any time the Company proposes to
register any Common Stock under the 1933 Act in connection with the offering of
such Common Stock on any form other than Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any form
substituting therefor (except for a registration in connection with an exchange
offer of securities solely to existing securityholders of the Company) (a
"Piggyback Registration"), the Company shall each such time promptly give each
Institutional Investor prior written notice of such determination no later than
45 days prior to the proposed filing date of such registration statement. Any
Institutional Investor wishing to register all or any portion of the
Institutional Investor's Registrable Securities must give written notice to the
Company of intent to participate no less than 15 days after the receipt of such
notice. Upon receipt of such written request of any such Institutional Investor,
the Company will use its best efforts to effect the registration under the 1933
Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to
register by the Institutional Investors.


                                                        -2-
<PAGE>



Notwithstanding the fact that a Piggyback Registration requested pursuant
to this Section 2.1 involves an underwritten public offering, any Institutional
Investor holding Registrable Securities requesting to be included in such
registration may elect, in writing at least three Business Days prior to the
effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such
registration, not to register such Registrable Securities in connection with
such registration.

     2.1.2 Selection of Underwriters. If the Company in its sole discretion
decides a Piggyback Registration shall be underwritten, the Company shall have
sole discretion in the selection of any underwriter or underwriters to manage
such Piggyback Registration.

     2.1.3 Priority on Piggyback Registrations. If the managing underwriter or
underwriters of a Piggyback Registration (or in the case of a Piggyback
Registration not being underwritten, holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities being registered by the Institutional Investors) advise the Company
in writing that in its or their opinion the number of Registrable Securities
proposed to be sold in such Piggyback Registration exceeds the number which can
be sold, or adversely affects the price at which the Registrable Securities are
to be sold in such offering, the Company will include in such registration only
the number of Registrable Securities which, in the opinion of such underwriter
or underwriters (or the Institutional Investors, as the case may be) can be sold
in such offering without so affecting such price. The Registrable Securities so
included in such Piggyback Registration shall be apportioned (i) first, to any
shares of Common Stock that the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, pro rata
among any shares of Common Stock that any Institutional Investors propose to
sell, and (iii) third, pro rata among other shares of Common Stock included in
such Piggyback Registration, in each case according to the total number of
shares of Common Stock requested for inclusion by said selling securityholders,
or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to among such selling
securityholders.

     SECTION 2.2. Demand Registration Rights.

     2.2.1 Right to Demand. If, at any time after the later of (i) the date on
which the Common Stock is registered under the Exchange Act following a public
offering of Common Stock or (ii) December 1, 1997, any one or more of the
Institutional Investors holding Registrable Securities representing ten percent
(10%) or more in aggregate of the Common Stock (assuming conversion or exercise
of all Common Stock Equivalents into Registrable Securities at the then
conversion price or exercise price) makes a written request (the "Request
Notice") to the Company for registration with the Commission under and in
accordance with the provisions of the 1933 Act of all or part of the Registrable
Securities then owned by such Institutional Investor or Institutional Investors
then owning Registrable Securities (a "Demand Registration"), the Company shall
thereupon, as expeditiously as possible, use its best efforts to file a
registration statement with the Commission and have the registration statement
declared effective by the Commission; provided, however, that the number of
Registrable Securities as to which such request is made shall represent not less
than five percent of the outstanding Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents.
Within 10 days after receipt of such request, the Company will serve written
notice (the "Notice") of such registration request to all Institutional
Investors who hold Registrable Securities, and the Company will include in such
registration all Registrable Securities of such Institutional Investors with
respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein
(also "Request Notices") within 20 days after the giving of the Notice. All
Institutional Investors requesting registration of their Registrable Securities
pursuant to this Section 2.2.1 will specify the aggregate number of


                                                        -3-
<PAGE>



Registrable Securities to be registered and will also specify the intended
methods of disposition thereof. Each Institutional Investor shall be entitled so
to request or participate in a request for four Demand Registrations (the last
of which shall be a shelf registration to be effective for not less than 180
days (the "Shelf Registration")) filed with and declared effective by the
Commission, the expenses of which shall be borne by the Company in accordance
with this Agreement, and no more than one Demand Registration may be requested
in any 12 month period; provided, however, that if, following the effective date
of any registration statement filed pursuant to a Demand Registration, any
Institutional Investor included in a Demand Registration pursuant to this
Section 2.2.1 elects, by giving written notice to the Company not later than 90
days after such effective date, not to dispose of its Registrable Securities
because of a material adverse change in the business, condition (financial or
otherwise), assets or prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, or a material adverse event with respect to the Company and its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole, not disclosed in the final prospectus for the
Demand Registration, then such Demand Registration shall not count as one of the
Demand Registrations permitted hereunder unless Registrable Securities
representing five percent or more of the Common Stock, including Common Stock
Equivalents, are sold pursuant to such Demand Registration within 90 days of the
effective date of the registration statement and prior to the occurrence of such
material adverse event.

     If at the time of any Request Notice (i) the Company is engaged in a
registered public offering as to which the Institutional Investors had the right
to include their Registrable Securities as a Piggyback Registration or which was
made on Form S-4, (ii) the Company is engaged in any other activity outside of
the ordinary course of business, such as a merger, consolidation,
recapitalization or acquisition which, in the good faith judgment of the Board,
would be materially and adversely affected by the requested registration, or
(iii) the Board makes a good faith determination that the public disclosures
required to be made in the requested registration statement would have a
material and adverse impact on the business, financial condition or prospects of
the Company, the Company may at its option direct that such request be delayed
for a period of not more than ninety (90) days, which right to delay may be
exercised by the Company only one time for each Demand Registration for all
Institutional Investors.

     The Company shall have the same rights to Piggyback Registration on a
Demand Registration as an Institutional Investor would have in a Piggyback
Registration permitted under Section 2.1 hereof.

     2.2.2 Selection of Underwriters. If a requested registration pursuant to
this Section 2.2 involves either a firm or best efforts underwritten offering,
the Institutional Investor(s) initially giving a Request Notice with respect to
a proposed Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall have sole
discretion to select any underwriter or underwriters to manage such Demand
Registration under this Section 2.2.

     2.2.3 Effective Registration Statement. A registration requested pursuant
to this Section 2.2 will not be deemed to have been effected unless it has
become effective; provided, that if, within 75 days after it has become
effective (135 days in the case of the Shelf Registration), the offering of
Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration is interfered with by any
stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other
governmental agency or court, such registration will be deemed not to have been
effected. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if any such stop order is
rescinded, the effective period


                                                        -4-
<PAGE>



shall continue upon such rescission and be extended by the number of days
by which such stop order reduced the effective period.

     2.2.4 Priority on Demand Registrations. If the managing underwriter or
underwriters of a Demand Registration advise the Company in writing that in its
or their opinion the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in
such Demand Registration exceeds the number which can be sold, or adversely
affects the price at which the Registrable Securities are to be sold, in such
offering, the Company will include in such registration only the number of
Registrable Securities which, in the opinion of such underwriter or underwriters
(or the Institutional Investors, as the case may be), can be sold in such
offering without so affecting such price. The Registrable Securities so included
in such Demand Registration shall be apportioned (i) first, pro rata among the
Registrable Securities of the Institutional Investors who have made requests to
be included in such Demand Registration and (ii) second, pro rata among other
shares of Common Stock included in such Demand Registration, including any
shares proposed to be sold by the Company in such Registration.

     2.2.5 Additional Rights. If the Company at any time grants to any other
holders of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents any rights to request the
Company to effect the registration under the 1933 Act of any such shares of
Common Stock on terms more favorable to such holders than the terms set forth in
this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed amended or
supplemented to the extent necessary to provide the Institutional Investors with
the same more favorable terms. The Company shall not grant any other person
rights to register securities of the Company on terms which could restrict in
any way the ability of the Company fully to perform its obligations to the
Institutional Investors pursuant to this Agreement.

     SECTION 2.3. Registration Procedures. It shall be a condition precedent to
the obligations of the Company and any underwriter or underwriters to take any
action pursuant to this Article IV that the Institutional Investors requesting
inclusion in any Piggyback Registration or Demand Registration (a
"Registration") shall furnish to the Company such information regarding them,
the Registrable Securities held by them, the intended method of disposition of
such Registrable Securities, and such agreements regarding indemnification,
disposition of such securities and the other matters referred to in this Article
IV as the Company shall reasonably request and as shall be required in
connection with the action to be taken by the Company. With respect to any
Registration which includes Registrable Securities held by an Institutional
Investor, the Company will, subject to Sections 2.1 and 2.2:

     2.3.1 Prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement on the
appropriate form prescribed by the Commission within 60 days after the end of
the period within which requests for registration may be given to the Company,
file with the Commission any necessary amendments to the registration statement
with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause
such registration statement to become effective; provided, however, that at
least five business days before filing a registration statement or prospectus or
any amendments or supplements thereto, including documents incorporated by
reference after the initial filing of the registration statement, the Company
will furnish to the holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement and the underwriter or underwriters, if any, copies of or
drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be
subject to the reasonable review of such holders and underwriters, if any, and
the Company will not file any registration statement or amendment thereto or any
prospectus or


                                                        -5-
<PAGE>



any supplement thereto or any documents required to be incorporated by
reference therein to which holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement or the underwriters, if any, shall
reasonably object;

     2.3.2 Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
post-effective amendments to such registration statement and any documents
required to be incorporated by reference therein as may be necessary to keep the
registration statement effective for a period of time as necessary to complete
the offering which period shall be not less than 90 days (or 180 days in the
case of the Shelf Registration) (or such shorter period which will terminate
when all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement have been
sold or withdrawn, but not prior to the expiration of the time period referred
to in Section 4(3) of the 1933 Act and Rule 174 thereunder, if applicable);
cause the prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement,
and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act (or
any successor rule); and comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act applicable
to it with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by
such registration statement during the applicable period in accordance with the
intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such
registration statement or supplement to the prospectus;

     2.3.3 Furnish to such Institutional Investor, without charge, at least one
conformed copy of the registration statement and any post-effective amendment
thereto, upon request, and such number of copies of the prospectus (including
each preliminary prospectus) and any amendments or supplements thereto, and any
exhibits or documents incorporated by reference therein as the Institutional
Investor or underwriter or underwriters, if any, may request in order to
facilitate the disposition of the securities being sold by the Institutional
Investor (it being understood that the Company consents to the use of the
prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by the Institutional Investor
covered by the registration statement and the underwriter or underwriters, if
any, in connection with the offering and sale of the securities covered by the
prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto);

     2.3.4 Immediately notify such Institutional Investor, at any time when a
prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, when
the Company becomes aware of the happening of any event as a result of which the
prospectus included in such registration statement (as then in effect) contains
any untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus or any
preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made) not misleading and, as promptly as practicable thereafter, prepare and
file with the Commission and furnish a supplement or amendment to such
prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the Institutional Investors (a
reasonable number of such amended and supplemented prospectuses having been
delivered to the Institutional Investors), such prospectus will not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading;

     2.3.5 Use its best efforts to cause all securities included in such
registration statement to be listed, by the date of the first sale of securities
pursuant to such registration statement, on each national securities exchange or
market on which the Common Stock is then listed or proposed to be listed by the
Company, if any;



                                                        -6-
<PAGE>



     2.3.6 Make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order
suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement at the earliest
possible moment;

     2.3.7 Subject to the time limitations specified in paragraph (b) above, if
requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters or such Institutional
Investor, promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment such information as the managing underwriter or underwriters of the
Institutional Investor reasonably requests to be included therein, including,
without limitation, with respect to the number of shares being sold by the
Institutional Investor to such underwriter or underwriters, the purchase price
being paid therefor by such underwriter or underwriters and with respect to any
term of the underwritten offering of the securities to be sold in such offering;
and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment as soon as practicable after being notified of the matters to be
incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

     2.3.8 As promptly as practicable after filing with the Commission of any
document which is incorporated by reference into a registration statement,
deliver a reasonable number of copies of such document to such Institutional
Investor;

     2.3.9 Prior to the date on which the registration statement is declared
effective, use its best efforts to register or qualify, and cooperate with such
Institutional Investor, the underwriter or underwriters, if any, and their
counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of, the securities
covered by the registration statement for offer and sale under the securities or
blue sky laws of each state and other jurisdiction of the United States as such
Institutional Investor or managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, requests
in writing, to use its best efforts to keep each such registration or
qualification effective, including through new filings, or amendments or
renewals, during the period such registration statement is required to be kept
effective and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to
enable the disposition in all such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities
covered by the applicable registration statement; provided, however, that the
Company will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any
jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action which would
subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is
not then so subject;

     2.3.10 Enter into such customary agreements (including an underwriting
agreement in customary form) and take such other actions customarily taken by
registrants as sellers of a majority of such Registrable Securities or the
underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the
disposition of such Registrable Securities;

     2.3.11 Obtain a "cold comfort" letter or letters from the Company's
independent public accountants in customary form and covering matters of the
type customarily covered by "cold comfort" letters as the underwriters, if any,
shall reasonably request;

     2.3.12 Make available for inspection by any Institutional Investor holding
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, by any
underwriter participating in any disposition to be effected pursuant to such
registration statement and by any attorney, accountant or other agent retained
by any such seller or any such underwriter, all pertinent financial and other
records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause
all of the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information


                                                        -7-

reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant
or agent in connection with such registration statement;

     2.3.13 Cooperate with such Institutional Investor and the managing
underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and
delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing
securities to be sold under the registration statement, and enable such
securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the
Institutional Investor or the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, may
request; and

     2.3.14 Use its best efforts to cause the securities covered by the
registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other
governmental agencies or authorities within the United States, including,
without limitation, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., as may
be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter or
underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities.

     The Institutional Investors, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of
the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 2.3.4, will
forthwith discontinue disposition of the securities until the Institutional
Investors' receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by this Section 2.3.4 or until they are advised in writing (the
"Advice") by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed, and have
received copies of any additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated
by reference in the prospectus, and, if so directed by the Company, each
Institutional Investor will, or will request the managing underwriter or
underwriters, if any, to, deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense) all
copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Institutional Investor's
possession, of the prospectus covering such securities which is current at the
time of receipt of such notice. In the event the Company shall give any such
notice, the time periods mentioned in Section 2.3.4 shall be extended by the
number of days during the period from and including any date of the giving of
such notice to and including the date when each seller of securities covered by
such registration statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented
or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 2.3.4 hereof or the Advice.

     In connection with any Registration, the Company shall be required to
retain an independent outside counsel that is sophisticated in securities law
matters and that is reasonably satisfactory to a majority of those Institutional
Investors that have shares of Common Stock included in such Registration.

     2.4. Registration Expenses. In the case of any Registration, the Company
shall bear all of the costs and expenses of such Registration (including,
without limitation, the expenses of preparing any registration statement,
Commission and state "blue sky" filings, registration and qualification fees,
the cost of providing any legal opinion or "cold comfort" letters requested by
the Institutional Investors, and printing costs); legal fees or expenses of one
counsel selected by the Institutional Investors (such counsel being subject to
the reasonable approval of the Company) for the Institutional Investors,
provided, however, that the Company shall not be responsible for registration or
qualification fees or underwriter's discounts or commissions that are
attributable to the Registrable Securities of an Institutional Investor.

     SECTION 2.5. Indemnification and Contribution.


                                                        -8-

     2.5.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless each Institutional Investor, its officers, directors and agents
and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the
Exchange Act) such Institutional Investor, including, without limitation, any
general partner or manager of any thereof, against all losses,claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement,
prospectus or preliminary prospectus in which such Institutional Investor is
participating or in any document incorporated by reference therein or any
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make
the statement therein (in the case of the prospectus or any preliminary
prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not
misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by, based upon or contained in
any information with respect to such Institutional Investor furnished in writing
to the Company by such Institutional Investor expressly for use therein;
provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any
preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Institutional
Investor from whom the Person asserting such loss, claim, damage or liability
purchased the securities if it is determined that it was the responsibility of
such Institutional Investor to provide such Person with a current copy of the
prospectus and such current copy of the prospectus would have cured such loss,
claim, damage or liability. The Company will also indemnify underwriters (as
such term is defined in the 1933 Act), their officers and directors and each
Person who controls such persons (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) to the
same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the
Institutional Investors.

     2.5.2 Indemnification by the Institutional Investors. In connection with
any Registration in which an Institutional Investor is participating, such
Institutional Investor will furnish to the Company in writing such information
and affidavits with respect to such Institutional Investor as the Company
reasonably requests for use in connection with any registration statement or
prospectus and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors,
officers and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the 1933
Act and the Exchange Act) the Company against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses arising out of or based upon any untrue statement of a
material fact or any omission to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements in the registration statement or prospectus or preliminary prospectus
(in the case of the prospectus or preliminary prospectus, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but
only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any
information or affidavit such Institutional Investor furnished in writing to the
Company by such Institutional Investor expressly for use therein; provided,
however, that the amount recoverable by the Company from an Institutional
Investor under this indemnification provision shall not exceed the amount of net
proceeds received by the Institutional Investor from the sale of Registrable
Securities hereunder; and provided, further, that the indemnity agreement
contained in this Section 2.5.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of
any loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising pursuant to a registration
under Article IV if such settlement is effected without the consent of the
Institutional Investor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the Company or any of the prospective sellers, or any of
their respective Affiliates, directors, officers or controlling Persons and
shall survive the transfer of such securities by such seller.

     2.5.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to
indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the
indemnifying party of any


                                                        -9-
<PAGE>



claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in
such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest may exist
between such indemnified and indemnifying party, permit the indemnifying party
to assume the defense of such claim, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly notified to the extent it may elect, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party. The failure to so notify the indemnifying
party shall relieve the indemnifying party from any liability hereunder with
respect to the action to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the
indemnifying party; provided, however, that any such failure shall not relieve
the indemnifying party from any other liability which it may have to any other
party. Whether or not such defense is assumed by the indemnifying party, the
indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made
without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). No
indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by
the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all
liability in respect of such claim or litigation. An indemnifying party who is
not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be
obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties
indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the
reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist
between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with
respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated
to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels.

     2.5.4 Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in
the preceding Sections 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 is unavailable to an indemnified party as
contemplated by the preceding Sections 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 for any reason, then the
indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the
indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received
by the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, but also the relative fault
of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
indemnifying party is an Institutional Investor, any contribution pursuant to
this Section 2.5.4 shall be several and not joint, and shall be limited to the
amount of net proceeds received by such Institutional Investor from the sale of
Registrable Securities hereunder.

     2.5.5 Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified in
the preceding subdivisions of this Section 2.5 (with appropriate modifications)
shall be given by the Company and each seller of Registrable Securities with
respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under
any federal or state law or regulation or governmental authority other than the
1933 Act.

     SECTION 2.6. Exchange Act Reports. The Company agrees that at all times
after it has filed a registration statement pursuant to the requirements of the
1933 Act relating to any class of equity securities of the Company, it will use
its best efforts to file in a timely manner all reports required to be filed by
it pursuant to the Exchange Act to the extent the Company is required to file
such reports. Upon request of an Institutional Investor, the Company will
furnish the requesting Institutional Investor with such information as may be
necessary to enable such Institutional Investor to effect sales pursuant to Rule
144A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may deregister any class of its
equity securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act or suspend its duty to
file reports with respect to any class


                                                       -10-
<PAGE>



of its securities pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act if it is
then permitted to do so pursuant to the Exchange Act and rules and regulations
thereunder.

     SECTION 2.7. Restrictions on Public Sale by Holder of Securities.

     2.7.1 To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, any Institutional
Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in a Registration agrees not
to effect any public sale or distribution of the issue being registered or a
similar security of the Company, or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, including a public sale
pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, during the 14 days prior to, and during
the 180- day period beginning on, the effective date of such registration
statement (except as part of such Registration), but only in an underwritten
public offering and only if and to the extent requested by the managing
underwriter or underwriters.

     2.7.2 Each Institutional Investor agrees that, in the event the Company
files a registration statement under the 1933 Act with respect to an
underwritten public offering of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalent, such Institutional Investor will not effect any public sale or
distribution of any Common Stock owned by it (other than as part of such
underwritten public offering) within 7 days prior to, and during the 180-day
period beginning on, the effective date of such registration statement and the
Company hereby also so agrees and agrees to use its best efforts to cause, as
the managing underwriters may require, each other holder of any equity security,
or of any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any
equity security, of the Company purchased from the Company (at any time other
than in a public offering) to so agree.

     SECTION 2.8. Participation in Registrations. No Institutional Investor may
participate in any Registration hereunder unless such Institutional Investor (a)
agrees to sell the Institutional Investor's securities on the basis provided in
any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to
approve such arrangements, and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires,
powers of attorney, underwriting agreements and other documents customarily
required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

     SECTION 2.9. Remedies. Each Institutional Investor shall have the right and
remedy to have the provisions of Sections 2.1 and 2.2 specifically enforced by
any court having jurisdiction in the event that the Company breaches such
provisions, and the Company shall reimburse such Institutional Investor for the
reasonable costs of the expenses for counsel for such Institutional Investor
incurred in connection with such proceeding.

     SECTION 2.10. Other Registration Rights. The Company will not grant any
Person any demand or piggyback registration rights with respect to the Common
Stock of the Company, including Common Stock Equivalents, except that the
Company may grant piggyback registration rights ("new rights") that (i) are not
in conflict or inconsistent with, or grant rights more favorable than, the
rights of the Institutional Investors set forth in this Agreement, (ii) do not
entitle such Person to be included in any Registration, and (iii) provide that
the Institutional Investors have a piggyback right upon the exercise of such new
rights and shall be included in such registration statement on an equal basis
with the shares being registered pursuant to the exercise of the new rights.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION 3.1 Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any

facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify in writing to the Secretary

may specify in writing to the Secretary of the Company or (ii) if given by any

contained herein. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and
understanding, and supersedes and terminates all prior agreements and

any of the obligations of such other party under this Agreement. Except as
provided in the preceding sentence, no action taken pursuant to this Agreement,
including, without limitation, any investigation by or on behalf of any party,
shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of
compliance with any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements
contained herein. Neither the waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any
provision hereof or any preceding or succeeding breach nor the failure by any
party to exercise any right or privilege hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of
such party's rights or privileges hereunder nor shall it be deemed a waiver of
such party's rights to exercise the same at any subsequent time or times
hereunder.

     SECTION 3.4 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, modified or
supplemented only by a written instrument executed by the Company and by
Institutional Investors owning two thirds or more of the Common Stock held by
the Institutional Investors at the time of such amendment.

Investor.

TO:       TransMontaigne Oil Company


DATE:     April 30, 1996

RE:       MERGER OF TRANSMONTAIGNE OIL COMPANY
          INTO SHEFFIELD EXPLORATION COMPANY, INC.

- ----------------------------------------------------------------

We hold more than one percent of the outstanding stock of
TransMontaigne Oil Company ("TransMontaigne").  In the merger of
TransMontaigne into Sheffield Exploration Company, Inc.
("Sheffield"), we will receive stock of Sheffield (the "Sheffield
Stock").  We hereby make the following representations to
TransMontaigne with respect to the Sheffield Stock that we will
receive in the merger:

1.   We do not have now, and will not have at the effective time
     of the merger, any plan, intention or arrangement to sell,
     exchange or otherwise dispose of the Sheffield Stock
     received in the merger, except that with respect to possible
     sales by Dillon Read Officers, which would be less than 20%
     of such Sheffield Stock.  For this purpose, "sell, exchange
     or otherwise dispose" includes an "Economic Disposition" as
     defined below.

2.   There is nothing that would prevent us from holding indefi-
     nitely or distributing to Limited Partners the Sheffield
     Stock received in the merger.

3.   We understand that an "Economic Disposition" is any transac-
     tion or arrangement that results in a significant reduction
     in the economic benefits, or the economic burdens, of owning
     the Sheffield Stock (such as may result from an equity swap
     transaction, a notional principal contract, option transac-
     tions or similar arrangements).

We understand that you are relying on these representations in
connection with the qualification of the merger transaction with
Sheffield as a non-taxable reorganization for federal income tax
purposes.



ON BEHALF OF Yorktown Energy Partners, L.P.; Lexington Partners
III, L.P.; Lexington Partners IV, L.P.; Dillon, Read & Co. Inc.
as Nominee; Dillon, Read & Co. Inc., as Agent; and Yorktown
Energy Partners II, L.P.:
