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
    statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such
    statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered
    by this report;

3.  Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial

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.
