I, W. Brent LaGere, certify that:

1.  I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Chandler (U.S.A.),
    Inc.;

2.  Based on my knowledge, this  report does not contain any untrue statement
    of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the

3.  Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
    information included in this report, fairly present in all material
    respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of
    the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

4.  The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for
    establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
    in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant and have:

       a)  Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
       disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision,
       to ensure that material information relating to the registrant,
       including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others
       within those entities, particularly during the period in which this
       report is being prepared;

       b)  Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls
       and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the
       effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end
       of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

       c)  Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
       control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's
       most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is
       reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal
       control over financial reporting; and

5.  The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on
    our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting,
    to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of registrant's board
    of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

       a)  All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design
       or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
       reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to
       record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

       b)  Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
       other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal
       control over financial reporting.
