Item 1.      Security and Issuer.

             This Schedule 13D is filed in connection with the shares of
             common stock, no par value (the "Shares"), of Odyssey Petroleum
             Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of Alberta,
             Canada (the "Company"), with principal executive offices at
             1410, 530-8th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada AB T2P3S8.

             This Schedule 13D is filed to report that: 

             On September 30, 1997, KA Investments LDC, a Cayman Islands
             corporation (the "Reporting Person"), entered into a Convertible
             Debenture Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with the
             Company, pursuant to which the Reporting Person purchased an
             aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 of the Company's 8%
             Convertible Debentures, due October 1, 2002 (the "Debentures"),
             which are convertible into Shares, and acquired a warrant to
             purchase up to 25,000 Shares (the "Warrant," and together with
             the Debentures, the "Securities"), in accordance with the terms
             set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
     
             The number of Shares reported in this Schedule 13D as
             beneficially owned by the Reporting Person is based in part on
             an assumed conversion of the full principal amount of the
             Debentures and exercise of the Warrant on September 25, 1998. 
             However, it should be noted that, because the number of Shares
             that are issuable upon conversion of Debentures is derived from
             a conversion formula set forth in the Debentures which  is based
             in part upon the market price of the Shares prior to the
             conversion of Debentures, the actual number of Shares that will
             be issued upon a conversion of the Debentures (and therefore
             beneficially owned by the holder thereof) cannot be determined
             at this time and will depend on market prices at time of
             conversion.

Item 2.      Identity and Background.

     (a)     The Reporting Person is a Cayman Island corporation.

     (b)     The address for the Reporting Person is:

                 c/o Deephaven Capital Management LLC
                 1712 Hopkins Crossroads
                 Minnetonka, MN  55305

     (c)     The principal business of the Reporting Person is investing in
             securities.

     (d)(e)  The name, residence or business address, and the principal
             occupation or employment and the name, principal business and
             address of any corporation or other organization in which such
             employment is conducted, of each director, executive officer and
             controlling person, if any, of the Reporting Person, is set
             forth 

                                 Page 3 of 6

<PAGE>
             in Schedule A hereto.  To the best knowledge of the Reporting
             Person each person listed on Schedule A is a United States
             citizen (except as otherwise noted in Schedule A) and, during
             the last five years, no person listed on Schedule A has been
             convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations
             or similar misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding
             of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction
             and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a
             judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of,
             or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or
             State securities laws or finding any violation with respect to
             such laws.

Item 3.      Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

             All funds utilized by the Reporting Person to acquire the
             Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement were derived from
             investment capital of the Reporting Person and were payable in
             immediately available funds.

Item 4.      Purpose of Transaction.

             The Reporting Person acquired the Securities as an investment in
             the ordinary course of business  and intends to continue to
             evaluate the performance of the Shares underlying the Securities
             (the "Underlying Shares").  In pursuing this investment
             objective, the Reporting Person analyzes the operations, capital
             structure and markets of the companies in which it invests,
             including the Company, on a continuous basis through analysis of
             documentation and discussions with knowledgeable industry and
             market observers and with representatives of such companies
             (often at the invitation of management).  Depending on such
             assessments, the Reporting Person may acquire additional
             securities of the Company or may determine to sell or otherwise
             dispose of all or some of the Underlying Shares after a
             conversion of some or all of the Debentures or exercise of the
             Warrant.  Whether the Reporting Person actually effects such
             sales will depend on its continuing evaluation of the diversity
             of its investment portfolio, as well as the price level and
             trading uncertainties of the Shares, available opportunities to
             dispose of the Underlying Shares, conditions in the securities
             markets and general economic and industry conditions.  These
             sales may take place in the open market, through privately
             negotiated transactions with third parties, or through any other
             manner permitted by applicable law.

             Pursuant to Section 3.8 of the Purchase Agreement, the Reporting
             Person may not convert Debentures or exercise the Warrant to the
             extent such conversion or exercise would result in the Reporting
             Person beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with
             Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in
             excess of 4.999% of the then issued and outstanding Shares. 
             Pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to the Purchase Agreement dated as
             of September 28, 1998, the Reporting Person and the Company have
             agreed to delete such Section 3.8 in its entirety. The Reporting
             Person is filing this Schedule 13D as a result thereof.  Other
             than as a result of such amendment, the Reporting Person is of
             the view that it would not be necessary to file this Schedule
             13D for the purpose of reporting the Shares 

                                 Page 4 of 6

<PAGE>
             held by the Reporting Person.  Except as described herein, the
             Reporting Persons, or any executive officer or control person
             thereof, does not have any current plans or proposals with
             respect to any of the items described in (a) through (j) of Item
             4.

Item 5.      Interest in Securities of the Issuer  

     (a)(b)  Based on an assumed conversion in full of the full principal
             amount of the Debentures, the payment of interest due thereunder
             in Shares and exercise of the Warrant on September 25, 1998, the
             Reporting Person would be deemed to be the beneficial owner of
             17,562,045 Shares, which is equal to 59.77% of the Shares issued
             and outstanding.  All of the Shares reported in this Schedule
             13D as being beneficially owned by the Reporting Person are
             issuable upon assumed conversion and exercise (as applicable) of
             the Debentures (including the payment of interest thereunder)
             and the Warrant.  The Reporting Person has sole voting and
             dispository power with respect to such Shares.

     (c)     See Exhibit 1 attached hereto.

     (d)     Not applicable.

     (e)     Not applicable.

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

             In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Reporting Person
             and the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement
             (the "Registration rights Agreement"), pursuant to which the
             Company agreed to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as
             amended, the Underlying Shares by the 30th day following the
             closing date for the transactions underlying the Purchase
             Agreement (the "Closing Date") and to use its best efforts to
             have the registration statement declared effective within 90 to
             120 days of the Closing Date. 

             Pursuant to a letter agreement dated August 6, 1998, between the
             Reporting Person and the Company, the Company agreed to use its
             best efforts to prepay the full amount due under the Debentures
             within sixty (60) days following the date of the letter
             agreement (the "Record Date") and the Reporting Person agreed
             not to convert in excess of $150,000 of the principal amount of
             the Debentures until the earlier of such prepayment by the
             Company or the Record Date.
