        This  Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D is filed on behalf of  American
Financial  Group, Inc. ("American Financial"), American Financial Corporation
("AFC"), and Carl H. Lindner, Carl H. Lindner III, S. Craig Lindner and Keith
E.  Lindner (collectively, the "Lindner Family") (American Financial, AFC and
the Lindner Family are collectively referred to as the "Reporting Persons").

        As  of  September  30,  1996, the Lindner Family  beneficially  owned
approximately  37% of the outstanding common stock of American Financial  and
American  Financial  beneficially owned  all  of  the  common  stock  of  AFC
(approximately  79% of AFC's outstanding voting equity securities).   Through
their ownership of common stock of American Financial and their positions  as
directors  and executive officers of American Financial, the members  of  the
Lindner  Family  may  be  deemed to be controlling persons  with  respect  to
American Financial and AFC.

Item 1.        Security and Issuer.

        This  Statement relates to shares of Class A Common Stock, par  value
$.10  per  share, ("Presidio Class A Common Stock"), issued by  Presidio  Oil
Company,  a Delaware corporation ("Presidio").  The Presidio Class  A  Common
Stock which was beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons was issuable upon
conversion  of 9% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2015 ("Debentures")
previously held by them.

        Follwing  the  transaction described in Item 4 hereof, the  Reporting
Persons  no  longer  beneficially own five percent or  more  of  a  class  of
Presidio voting equity securities.

Item 4.        Purpose of Transaction.

        On  December  24,  1996, the Reporting Persons exchanged  all  $25.55
million principal amount of Presidio Debentures held by them for an aggregate
of  294,212 shares of Tom Brown Inc. ("TBI") common stock.  On the day of the
exchange,  the market value on the NASDAQ National Market System of  the  TBI
Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons was approximately $6 million.

Item 5.        Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

        Following  the transaction described in Item 4 hereof, the  Reporting
Persons no longer beneficially owned any Presidio voting equity securities.

        Except  as set forth above, to the best knowledge and belief  of  the
undersigned, no transactions involving Presidio equity securities  have  been
effected  during  the past 60 days by the Reporting Persons  or  by  American
Financial's or AFC's directors or executive officers.

Item 6.        Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships  with
               Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

       None.

Item 7.        Material to be filed as Exhibits.

               (1)     Agreement  required  pursuant  to  Regulation  Section
               240.13d-1(f)(1) promulgated under the Securities Exchange  Act
               of 1934, as amended.

               (2)     Powers of Attorney executed in connection with filings
               under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

        After reasonable inquiry and to the best knowledge and belief of  the
undersigned,  it is hereby certified that the information set forth  in  this
statement is true, complete and correct.
