         This Amendment No. 3 to the statement on Schedule 13D (the
"Statement"), originally filed on October 24, 1997, as amended on July 16, 1998,
and as amended on July 7, 1999, is filed by First Reserve Fund VII, Limited
Partnership ("Fund VII"), First Reserve GP VII, L.P., ("GP VII," and
collectively, the "Funds"), and First Reserve Corporation ("First Reserve," and
together with Fund VII and GP VII, the "Reporting Persons") and relates to the
Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Patina Oil &
Gas Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer" or "Patina"). That
Schedule 13D is hereby amended as set forth below.

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

         Item 2 is hereby amended by deleting the first two paragraphs and
replaced with the following, and by deleting the second sentence of the last
paragraph:

         This statement is being filed by First Reserve Fund VII, Limited
Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, and First Reserve GP VII, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership, and First Reserve Corporation, a Delaware
corporation. John A. Hill and William E. Macaulay each were previously included
as joint filers of this Statement. Neither "controls" First Reserve Corporation
for purposes of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and both have
been removed from this Statement.

         The Funds are Delaware limited partnerships with limited terms of
existence. Their principal purpose is to make equity, equity-linked and debt
investments in companies engaged in various energy and energy related
activities. Their principal offices are located at 475 Steamboat Road,
Greenwich, CT 06830. First Reserve is a Delaware corporation which raises funds
for and manages the Funds, as well as several other similar entities. First
Reserve's principal business is to act as the managing general partner and
provide investment management services to a limited number of investment
partnerships, including the Funds.

         The remaining paragraphs of Item 2 are unchanged.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph:

         First Reserve and the Funds intend to review on a continuing basis the
Funds' investment in the Issuer and may or may not dispose of additional shares,
on the open market or otherwise, subject to: the price and availability of the
Issuer's securities; subsequent developments affecting the energy market as a
whole; the Issuer and the Issuer's business and prospects, and on the eventual
liquidation of the Funds in accordance with their respective partnership
agreements.


                                                                     Page 5 of 8
