ITEM 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits

(a)  Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as
of June 30, 1996, and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements
of income for the six month period then ended and the year ended December 31,
1996 give effect to the sale of nineteen of the Company's producing oil and gas
properties in Major County, Oklahoma.  The adjustments related to the unaudited
pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet assume the transaction was
consummated at June 30, 1996, while the adjustments to the unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated income statements assume the transaction was consummated
at the beginning of the periods presented.  The final sale occurred on September
27, 1996.

     The pro forma information is based on the historical financial statements
of the Registrant.  The pro forma adjustments required are to eliminate the net
assets, record the payment of related debt, and to reflect the effect of the
reduced oil and gas production on income and the related expenses.

     These unaudited pro forma statements are not necessarily indicative of the
results that actually would have occurred if the sales had been in effect as of
and for the periods presented or what may be achieved in the future.
