Gas Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Kelley").

Item 2.   Identity and Background.

          The first and second paragraphs of Sections (a), (b), (c) and (f)
of Item 2 are amended and supplemented in their entirety to read as
follows:

          (a), (b), (c) and (f). This Statement is filed on behalf of
Contour Production Company L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company
("Contour"), JFB Squared, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership ("JFB"), and
Bevairohn, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership ("Bevairohn"), pursuant to
Rule 13d-1(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), and Bessemer Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("BH"). Contour, BH and Bevairohn are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Reporting Persons".

          Contour has its principal office at 630 Fifth Avenue, New York,
New York 10111. Contour's activities consist principally of investing in
Kelley, which activities are principally conducted at its 630 Fifth Avenue

York 10111. BH's only activity is making investments in securities for its
own account, which activity is principally conducted at its 630 Fifth
Avenue office. Under the constitutive documents of Contour, as described in
Item 5, Bevairohn may be deemed to share the power to direct the vote of
the Common Stock beneficially owned by Contour. JFB's and Bevairohn's
principal office is located at 910 Louisiana Street, Suite 5050, Houston,
Texas 77002. Bevairohn's activities consist principally on investing in

partnership interest in JFB. Mr. Bookout, together with wife, holds a 3%
general partnership interest in Bevairohn. The limited partners of
Bevairohn consist of Mr. Bookout, his wife, Mr. Bookout III and three
trusts established for members of Mr. Bookout's family.

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.

          The last paragraph of Section (a) of Item 4 is amended and
supplemented in its entirety to read as follows:

          The continuing decline in the market price of the Common Stock is
having several detrimental effects on Kelley, including limiting its
financing alternatives and impairing its ability to continue listing the
Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock


                                Page 6 of 8

Market. In response, the Reporting Persons are considering a variety of
plans and proposals with respect to the equity securities of Kelley,
including, among others, investigating the purchase of shares of Common
Stock or other equity securities of Kelley by the Reporting Persons or
their affiliates. The Reporting Persons intend continuously to review all
aspects of their investment in Kelley, including the market price of the
Common Stock, Kelley's business operations, financial results and condition
and prospects, conditions in the securities markets generally and general
economic and industry conditions. The Reporting Persons reserve the right,
based on their continuing review of these and other relevant factors, (i)
to acquire shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of Kelley in
the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, directly from Kelley
or otherwise, or (ii) to dispose of shares of Common Stock in the open
market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, or (iii)
otherwise to change their intention with respect to any or all of the
matters referred to in this Item 4.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

          Item 5 is amended and supplemented in its entirety to read as
follows:

          On March 29, 1999, pursuant to certain changes in the
constitutive documents of Contour, all the membership interests of JFB in
Contour were redeemed in exchange for 2,855,952 shares of Common Stock,
which represented a proportionate amount of the 75,000,000 shares of Common
Stock previously held by Contour. By reason of the redemption of its
interests in Contour, JFB no longer has any voting or dispositive power
over Common Stock held by Contour.
