ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On January 7, 2000, we sold our 69% working interest in the Black Lake Unit to
Exco Resources, Inc. The Black Lake Unit is located in Louisiana and includes a
processing and treating facility and an interest in the producing properties
serviced by this facility. The Black Lake processing and treating facility
consists of a 75 MMcf/D plant with 56 miles of associated gathering. This
facility averaged gas throughput volumes of 11 MMcf/D in the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. The sales price was $7.8 million, subject to final
accounting adjustment. We will realize a pre-tax loss on this sale of
approximately $6.5 million in the fourth quarter of 1999. The proceeds received
from this transaction were used to reduce outstanding debt.


ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

  (b) Pro Forma Financial Information.

The sale of the Black Lake Unit qualifies as the disposition of a significant
subsidiary under Rule 11-01 of Regulation S-X. The Pro Forma financial
information required to be filed related to this disposition is combined with
other transactions that occurred in 1999 which also required Pro Forma
presentation. The Pro Forma financial statements reflecting the sales of the
Katy Storage Facility and Giddings gas gathering system in April 1999, and the
sale of the MiVida treating facility and the issuance of $155.0 million 10%
senior subordinated notes in June 1999 were previously filed with the Commission
on a Current Report on Form 8-K/A in July 1999 and in a prospectus on
Form 424 B3 in October 1999.

The accompanying Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 and for the year ended December 31, 1998 give
effect to the sale of the Black Lake Unit, along with the sales of Katy,
Giddings, MiVida and the issuance of the senior subordinated notes. The Pro
Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 1999 only reflects the sale
of the Black Lake Unit. The other transactions were completed prior to this date
and are included in the historical financial information as of
September 30, 1999.

The Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations comprise historical
financial data which has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of
the above transactions on our historical consolidated statements of operations.
The pro forma information assumes that the transactions for which pro forma
effects are shown were completed on September 30, 1999 for the Pro Forma
Consolidated Balance Sheet and on January 1, 1999 and 1998 for the Pro Forma
Consolidated Statements of Operations. Such pro forma information should be read
in conjunction with the related historical financial information and is not
indicative of the results which would actually have occurred had the
transactions been in effect on the dates or for the period indicated or which
may occur in the future.

             NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (unaudited)


  (1) The actual results of operations achieved by the Giddings facility during
the year ended December 31, 1998 and the nine months ended September 30, 1999
are reversed to reflect the sale of this asset as if the sale had occurred on
January 1, 1998 and 1999 for the statements of operations.  The proceeds
received from the sale of this facility of $36.0 million were used to reduce
long-term debt and interest expense at our weighted average interest rate on the
Revolving Credit Facility of 6.2% for the year ended December 31, 1998 and 6.9%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively.  The pre-tax loss of
approximately $6.6 million recognized on this transaction is reversed as a non-
continuing item in the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

  (2) The actual results of operations achieved by the Katy facility during the
year ended December 31, 1998 and the nine months ended September 30, 1999 are
reversed to reflect the sale of this asset as if the sale had occurred on
January 1, 1998 and 1999 for the statements of operations.  The Katy facility
was sold for gross proceeds of $100.0 million. In conjunction with this sale, we
sold approximately 5.1 Bcf of stored gas in the Katy facility for approximately
$11.7 million which approximated our cost of the inventory. The combined
proceeds received from the sale of this facility and the inventory were used to
reduce long-term debt and interest expense at our weighted average interest rate
on the Revolving Credit Facility of 6.2% for the year ended December 31, 1998
and 6.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively.  The pre-
tax loss of approximately $16.6 million recognized on this transaction is
reversed as a non-continuing item  in the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

  (3) The actual results of operations achieved by the MiVida facility during
the year ended December 31, 1998 and the nine months ended September 30, 1999
are reversed to reflect the sale of this asset as if the sale had occurred on
January 1, 1998 and 1999 for the statements of operations.  The proceeds
received from the sale of this facility of $12.0 million were used to reduce
long-term debt and interest expense at our weighted average interest rate on the
Revolving Credit Facility of 6.2% for the year ended December 31, 1998 and 6.9%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively. The pre-tax gain of
approximately $1.2 million recognized on this transaction is reversed as a non-
continuing item in the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

  (4) The actual results of operations achieved by the Black Lake Unit during
the year ended December 31, 1998 and the nine months ended September 30, 1999
are reversed to reflect the sale of this asset as if the sale had occurred on
January 1, 1998 and 1999 for the statements of operations. The sale of the Black
Lake Unit for gross proceeds of $7.8 million is assumed to result in a net
after-tax loss of approximately $4.1 million, subject to final accounting
adjustment, in the fourth quarter of 1999. This loss is reflected as a reduction
of equity on the Pro
<PAGE>

Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet only as it is a non-continuing item. The
proceeds received from the sale of this facility were used to reduce long-term
debt and interest expense at our weighted average interest rate on the Revolving
Credit Facility of 6.2% for the year ended December 31, 1998 and 6.9% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively.

  (5) The  net proceeds of the sale of $155.0 million aggregate principal amount
of senior subordinated notes maturing in 2009 ("Notes") of $150.0 million were
used in  part to repay $33.3 million of indebtedness under the Master Shelf
agreement.   The pro formas assume the sale of the Notes had occurred on January
1, 1998 and 1999 for the statements of operations and reflect interest on the
Notes at the rate of 10% per annum.  In connection with the prepayment of the
indebtedness under the Master Shelf, we incurred an after-tax  extraordinary
loss on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.1 million. This
loss is reversed as a non-continuing adjustment in the nine months ended
September 30, 1999.  The remaining proceeds from the offering of Notes of $114.9
million were used to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the
Revolving Credit Facility.

  (6) The weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 and the year ended December 31, 1998 were
32,148,699 and 32,147,354, respectively.
