                 REPORT  OF  INDEPENDENT  PUBLIC  ACCOUNTANTS



To  the  Board  of  Directors  of
3TEC  Energy  Corporation:

     We  have  audited  the  accompanying  statements  of  revenues  and  direct
operating  expenses  for  the  years  ended  December 31, 1998 and 1997, for the
Acquired Properties (as described in Note 1). These financial statements are the
responsibility of 3TEC Energy Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to
express  an  opinion  on  these  financial  statements  based  on  our  audits.

     We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the  amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant estimates made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a  reasonable  basis  for  our opinion.

     The  accompanying  statements  were prepared as described in Note 2 for the
purpose  of  complying  with certain rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange  Commission ("SEC") for inclusion in certain SEC regulatory reports and
filings  and  are  not  intended  to  be  a  complete  financial  presentation.

In  our  opinion,  the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all  material  respects,  the  revenues  and  direct  operating  expenses of the
Acquired  Properties  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  1998  and  1997, in
conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.

                               ACQUIRED PROPERTIES
          Notes to Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses

1.     The  Properties


     On  November  23,  1999,  3TEC Energy Corporation ("3TEC Energy"), formerly
known  as  Middle Bay Oil Company, Inc., acquired certain oil and gas properties
and  interests (the "Acquired  Properties") from Floyd Oil Company ("Floyd") and
certain  partnerships  and  other  entities  managed  or  sponsored  by  Floyd
(collectively,  the "Sellers") for a purchase price of approximately $87 million
in  cash  and  1.5  million shares of  3TEC Energy's common stock. The effective
date  of  the  transaction  was  January  1,  1999. The majority of the Acquired
Properties  are  located  in  Texas  and  Louisiana.

2.     Basis  of  Presentation

     During  the  periods  presented, the Acquired Properties were not accounted
for  or  operated  as  a separate division by Floyd. Information with respect to
depreciation,  depletion  and  amortization  is  not  available for the Acquired
Properties.  General  and  administrative  expenses  incurred  by Floyd were not
allocated  to  the  Acquired Properties. The Sellers were not taxpaying entities
and,  therefore,  income tax information with respect to the Acquired Properties
is  not  available.  Accordingly, full separate financial statements prepared in
accordance  with  generally  accepted accounting principles do not exist and are
not  practicable  to  obtain  in  these  circumstances.

     Revenues  and  direct  operating  expenses  included  in  the  accompanying
statements  represent  the  Sellers'  net  working  and royalty interests in the
Acquired  Properties  and  are  presented  on  the  accrual basis of accounting.
Depreciation,  depletion, and amortization, allocated general and administrative
expenses  and  income  tax  expense  have  been  excluded.

     The  statements  presented  are  not  indicative  of  the future results of
operations  of  the  Acquired  Properties  due to anticipated changes in various
operating  expenses  and  the  omission  of  other  costs  as  discussed  above.

3.     Commitments  and  Contingencies

     The  management  of 3TEC Energy is not aware of any legal, environmental or
other  commitments  or  contingencies  that  would  be  materially  important in
relation  to  the  revenues  and  direct  operating  expenses  of  the  Acquired
Properties.

4.     Related  Party  Transactions

     An  affiliate  of  Floyd operated certain oil and gas wells included in the
Acquired  Properties.  Fees  related to such wells in the amount of $442,600 and
$460,000 were charged to the Acquired Properties during the years ended December
31,  1997  and  1998, respectively, and $345,600 and $353,700 for the nine month
periods  ended  September  30,  1998  and  1999,  respectively.  These  fees are
reflected  in  direct  operating  expenses  in  the  accompanying  statements.

5.     Capital  Expenditures  (Unaudited)

     Direct  operating  expenses  do  not  include  exploration  and development
expenditures  related  to the Acquired Properties which totaled $4.3 million and
$4.1  million  for  the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively and
$2.9  million  and  $2.6  million for the nine month periods ended September 30,
1998  and  1999,  respectively.

6.     Supplemental  Oil  and  Gas  Reserve  Information  (Unaudited)


                                        5
<PAGE>
     Total  proved  and  proved  developed  oil and gas reserves of the Acquired
Properties  at  December 31, 1998 have been estimated based on reserve estimates
prepared  by  Ryder  Scott Company Petroleum Engineers as of September 30, 1999,
adjusted for production from September 30, 1999 to December 31, 1998. Comparable
estimates were not readily available for subsequent or prior periods. Therefore,
reserves  for  December  31, 1997 and 1998 have been calculated by adjusting the
September  30,  1999  amounts  for  the  respective  period's  activities  and,
consequently,  no  revisions  of  previous  estimates  have  been reflected. All
reserve  estimates  are  based  on economic and operating conditions existing at
September  30,  1999.  The future net cash flows from production of these proved
reserve  quantities  were  computed  by  applying current prices of oil and gas,
averaging  $22.44  per  barrel  of  oil and $2.75 per thousand cubic foot of gas
(with  consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual
arrangements) as of  September 30, 1999 to estimated future production of proved
oil  and  gas  reserves less the estimated future expenditures (based on current
costs)  as of September 30, 1999, to be incurred in developing and producing the
proved  reserves.  As  discussed  above, income tax information for the Acquired
Properties  is  not  available  and  therefore  is  not  presented.
