2. Title Examination

     A.   TITLE  EXAMINATION:  If  required,  all  abstracts  and title shall be
          examined  for the benefit of all parties by  Operator's  attorneys.  A
          copy of  each  title  opinion  and of each  supplemental  opinion,  if
          needed, and all final opinions shall be sent promptly to each party at
          their request.  The opinion of the Operator's  attorney concerning the
          validity of the title to each oil and gas interest and each lease, and
          the amount of interest covered thereby shall be binding and conclusive
          on the parties,  but the  acceptability  of leases as to primary term,
          royalty provisions, drilling obligations and special burdens, shall be
          a matter for approval and  acceptance by an authorized  representative
          of each  party.  Each party  shall pay his pro rata share of any legal
          fees incurred by Operator  relating to preparation of title  opinions,
          supplemental opinions and final opinions.

          joint  responsibility  of all parties and, if a title loss occurs,  it
          shall be the loss of all parties,  with each bearing its proportionate
          part of the loss and of any liabilities  incurred in the loss. If such
          a loss  occurs,  there  shall be no change in, or  adjustment  of, the
          interests of the parties in the remaining  portion of the Unit Area or
          Area of Interest.

     C.   LOSS OF LEASES FOR OTHER THAN TITLE FAILURE:  If any lease or interest
          subject  to this  Agreement  be lost  through  failure  to  develop or
          because express or implied  covenants have not been  performed,  or if
          any lease be  permitted  to expire at the end of its primary  term and
          not be renewed or extended, the loss shall not be considered a failure
          of title and all such losses  shall be joint losses and shall be borne
          by all parties in  proportion to their  interests,  and there shall be
          readjustment of interests in the remaining portion of the Unit Area.

3. Interests of Parties

     Unless changed by other provisions,  all costs and liabilities  incurred in
operations  under this contract shall be borne and paid  proportionally  and all
equipment and material acquired in operations on the Unit Area shall be owned by
the parties as their  respective  interests  bear to the entire  leasehold.  All
production  of oil and gas from the Unit Area shall also be owned by the parties
in the same manner subject to all royalties  overriding royalties and production
payments in the nature of an overriding royalty.

4. Operator of Unit

     Four Star Oil shall be the Operator of the Unit Area and shall  conduct and
direct and have full control of all operations on the Unit Area as permitted and
required by and within the limits of this  Agreement.  It shall conduct all such
operations  in  a  good  and   workmanlike   manner,   but  it  shall  not  have
responsibility  for  liabilities  incurred,  except  as may  result  from  gross
negligence or from breach of the provisions of this Agreement.

                                       2

5. Distribution of Revenue to Participants

     The Operator will collect all working  interest owners' oil and gas revenue
and deduct  there from the cost of  operating  and  maintaining  the oil and gas
properties.  The remainder  will then be  distributed  to each working  interest
owner monthly,  proportionate to his working  interest  ownership in the oil and
gas properties covered by this Agreement, notwithstanding any other provision to
the contrary in this Agreement.

6. Employees

     The number of employees and their  selection and the hours of labor and the
compensation  for services  performed  shall be determined by the Operator.  All
employees shall be the employees of the Operator.

7. Costs and Expenses

     Except as herein otherwise specifically  provided,  Operator shall promptly
pay and  discharge  all costs  and  expenses  incurred  in the  development  and
operation of the Unit Area, pursuant to this Agreement, and shall charge each of
the parties hereto with their respective  proportionate shares upon the cost and
expenses basis provided in the Accounting  Procedure  attached hereto and marked
Exhibit  Two. If any  provision in Exhibit Two should be  inconsistent  with any
provision contained in the body of this Agreement, the provisions in the body of
this Agreement shall prevail.

     Operator, at its election, shall have the right from time to time to demand
and receive from the other parties payment in advance of their respective shares
of the estimated  amount of costs to be incurred in operations  hereunder during
the next  succeeding  month,  which right may be exercised only by submission to
each such party of an itemized statement of such estimated costs,  together with
an invoice  for its share  thereof.  Each such  statement  and  invoice  for the
payment in advance of  estimated  costs shall be submitted on or before the 20th
day of  the  next  preceding  month.  Each  party  shall  pay  to  Operator  its
proportionate  share of such  estimate  within  fifteen  (15)  days  after  such
estimate  and invoice is  received.  If any party fails to pay its share of said
estimate within this time, the amount due shall bear interest at the rate of ten
percent  (10%) per annum until paid.  Proper  adjustment  shall be made  monthly
between  advances  and actual cost to the end that each party shall bear and pay
its proportionate share of actual costs incurred,  and no more. Operator has the
right to charge up to a 300% penalty if funds are not paid.

     Without the consent of all parties, Operator shall not undertake any single
project  reasonably  estimated  to require an  expenditure  in excess of Fifteen
Thousand Dollars  ($15,000),  except in connection with maintaining a lease, the
drilling, reworking,  deepening,  completing,  recompleting, or plugging back of
which has been previously authorized by or pursuant to this Agreement; provided,
however,  that in case of explosion,  fire,  flood,  or other sudden  emergency,
whether of the same or different nature,  Operator may take such steps and incur
such expenses as in its emergency to safeguard  life or property,  but Operator,
as promptly as possible, shall report the emergency to the other parties.

                                       3
<PAGE>
8. Operator's Lien

     Operator is given a first and preferred  lien on the interest of each party
covered by this contract,  and on each party's  interest in oil and gas produced
and the  proceeds  thereof,  and upon each  party's  interest  in  material  and
equipment,  to  secure  the  payment  of all sums due from  each  such  party to
Operator.

     In the event any party  fails to pay any amount  owing by it to Operator as
its share of such costs and expenses or such advance  estimate,  Operator shall,
as promptly as possible, report the emergency to the other parties.

     If all parties hereto cannot  mutually agree upon the drilling,  reworking,
deepening  or  redrilling  of any well or wells  covered by this  Agreement  and
jointly  owned by all of the  parties,  any party or  parties  wishing to drill,
rework,  redrill,  or deepen  such a well or wells  may give the  other  parties
written notice of the proposed  operations  specifying the work to be performed,
proposed depth, objective formation and the estimated cost of the operation. The
parties  receiving  such a notice shall have ten (10) days after  receipt of the
notice  within  which to notify the parties  wishing to do the work whether they
elect to participate in the cost of the proposed  operation.  Failure of a party
receiving  such a notice to so reply to it within the period  above  fixed shall
constitute  an  election  by that  party not to  participate  in the cost of the
proposed operations.

     The entire cost and risk of conducting  such  operations  shall be borne by
the parties  electing to  participate  in the proposed  operation,  such parties
hereinafter  referred to as "consenting  parties" in the  proportion  that their
respective  interests  bear to the total  interest  of all  consenting  parties.
Consenting  parties shall keep the leasehold  estate involved in such operations
free and clear of all liens and encumbrances of every kind created by or arising
from the operations of the consenting parties. If such an operation results in a
dry hole, the  consenting  parties shall plug and abandon the well at their sole
cost,  risk and expense.  If any well drilled,  reworked,  deepened or redrilled
under the provisions of this section  results in a producer of oil and/or gas in
paying  quantities,  the consenting parties shall complete and equip the well to
produce at their sole cost and risk,  and the well shall then be turned  over to
the  Operator  and shall be operated by it at the expense and for the account of
the  consenting  parties.  Upon  commencement  of  operations  for the drilling,
reworking,  deepening,  or redrilling of any such well by consenting  parties in
accordance with the provisions of this section,  each non-consenting party shall
be deemed to have relinquished to consenting parties, and the consenting parties
shall  own and be  entitled  to  receive,  in  proportion  to  their  respective
interest, all of such non-consenting party's interest in the well, its leasehold
operating rights and share of production  therefrom until the proceeds or market
value thereof (after deducting production taxes, royalty, overriding royalty and
other  interests  payable out of or measured  by the  production  from such well
accruing with respect to such interest  until it reverts)  shall equal the total
of the following:

     A.   500 percent of each  non-consenting  party's  share of newly  acquired
          surface equipment beyond the wellhead connections (including,  but not
          limited to, stock tanks, separators,  treaters,  pumping equipment and
          piping), plus 300 percent of each such non-consenting party's share of

                                       4
<PAGE>
          the cost of operation of the well commencing with first production and
          continuing  until  each  such  non-consenting   party's   relinquished
          interest shall revert to it under other provisions of this section. It
          being  agreed that each  non-consenting  party's  share of which would
          have been chargeable to each non-consenting  party had it participated
          in the well from the beginning of the operation; and

     B.   500 percent of that  portion of the costs and  expenses  of  drilling,
          reworking,  deepening or redrilling,  testing and completing,  and 500
          percent of that portion of the cost of newly acquired equipment in the
          well (to and  including  the  well-head-connections)  which would have
          been chargeable to such  non-consenting  party if it had  participated
          therein.

          In the  case of any  reworking,  plugging  back,  or  deeper  drilling
     operation,  the consenting parties shall be permitted to use, free of cost,
     all casing,  tubing and other  equipment in the well;  but the ownership of
     all such equipment  shall remain  unchanged and upon  abandonment of a well
     after such  reworking,  plugging back or deeper  drilling,  the  consenting
     parties shall account for all such  equipment to the owners  thereof,  with
     each party receiving its proportionate part in kind or in value.

          If and when  the  consenting  parties  recover  from a  non-consenting
     party's   relinquished   interest  the  amount  provided  for  above,   the
     relinquished  interest of such  non-consenting  party  shall  automatically
     revert to it, and from and after such reversion,  such non-consenting party
     shall own the same interest in such well, the operating  rights and working
     interest therein,  the material and equipment in or pertaining thereto, and
     the production  therefrom as such non-consenting party would have owned had
     it participated in the drilling, reworking, deepening or redrilling of said
     well. Thereafter, such non-consenting party shall be charged with and shall
     pay its  proportionate  part of the further  costs of the operation of said
     well in  accordance  with the terms of this  Agreement  and the  accounting
     procedure schedule, Exhibit Two, attached hereto.

9. Right to Take Production In Kind

     Each party shall take in kind or  separately  dispose of its  proportionate
share of all oil and gas produced from the Unit Area,  exclusive of  production,
which may be used in developing,  and production  operations  unavoidably  lost.
Each  party  shall  pay or  deliver,  or  cause  to be  paid or  delivered,  all
royalties,  overriding  royalties,  or other  payments  due on its share of such
production,  and shall hold the other parties free from any liability therefrom.
Any extra expenditure  incurred in the taking in kind or separate disposition by
any party of its  proportionate  share of the production  shall be borne by such
party.

     Each  party  shall  execute  all  division  orders  and  contracts  of sale
pertaining  to its interest in  production  from the Unit Area,  and agrees that
Operator  shall  receive  all  production  proceeds  and  disburse  proceeds  to
participants  monthly.  Operator is authorized to deduct expenses and charges as
authorized in this Agreement from such proceeds and send the remaining amount to
participants.

                                       5
<PAGE>
     In the event any party  shall fail to make the  arrangements  necessary  to
take in kind or separately dispose of its proportionate share of the oil and gas
produced  from  the Unit  Area,  Operator  shall  have  the  right,  but not the
obligation,  to  purchase  such  oil and gas or sell it to  others  for the time
being, at not less than the market price  prevailing in the area, which shall in
no event be less than the price which  Operator  receives for its portion of the
oil and gas  produced  in the Unit Area.  Any such  purchase or sale by Operator
shall be subject  always to the right of the owner of the production to exercise
at any time its right to take in kind,  or  separately  dispose of, its share of
all oil and gas not previously delivered to a purchaser.

     Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  Operator  shall  not  make  a  sale  into
interstate  commerce of any other party's share of gas production  without first
giving such other party thirty (30) days' notice of such intended sale.

10. Access to Unit Area

     Each party shall have access to Unit Area at all reasonable  times,  at its
sole risk, to inspect or observe operations, and shall have access at reasonable
times to information  pertaining to the  development or operation  thereof,  not
including  Operator's books and records relating  thereto.  Operator shall, upon
request,  furnish each of the logs,  tank tables,  daily gauges and run tickets,
and  reports  of  stock on hand at the  first  of each  month,  and  shall  make
available  samples of any cores or cuttings  taken from any well  drilled on the
Unit Area.

11. Abandonment of Wells

     No well subject to and the basis of this Agreement which has been completed
as a producer shall be plugged and abandoned  without the consent of all parties
provided,  however,  if all parties do not agree to the abandonment of any well,
those  wishing  to  continue  its  operation  shall  tender to each of the other
parties its proportionate share of the value of the well's salvageable  material
and equipment,  determined in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit Two less
the  estimated  cost  of  salvaging  and the  estimated  cost  of  plugging  and
abandoning.  Each  abandoning  party  shall  then  assign to the  non-abandoning
parties  without  warranty,  express or implied,  as to title or as to quantity,
quality, or fitness for use of the equipment,  together with its interest in the
leasehold  estate  as to,  but only as to,  the  interval  or  intervals  of the
formation or formations  then open to  production.  The  assignments  so limited
shall  encompass  the  "drilling  unit"  upon which  that well is  located.  The
payments by, and the  assignments  to, the assignees shall be made in accordance
with  their  respective  percentages  of  participation  in the Unit Area of all
assignees.  There shall be no readjustment of interest in the remaining  portion
of the Unit Area.

     After the assignment,  the assignors shall have no further  responsibility,
liability,  or interest in the operation of or production  from that well in the
interval or intervals then open.  Upon request of the assignees,  Operator shall
continue to operate  the  assigned  well for the  account of the  non-abandoning
parties  at the rates  and  charges  contemplated  by this  Agreement,  plus any
additional  cost and  charges  which  may arise as the  result  of the  separate
ownership of the assigned well.

12. Delay Rentals and Shut-In Well Payments

     Operator shall pay all delay rentals and shut-in well payments which may be
required  under the terms of leases  covering  any of the  tracts  described  in
Exhibit One and submit  evidence of such  payment to the other  parties at their
request.  The amount of such  payment  shall be charged by Operator to the joint
account of the parties and treated in all respects the same as costs incurred in
the  development  and  operation  of the Unit Area.  Operator  shall  diligently
attempt to make proper payment but shall not be held liable to the other parties
in damages for the loss of any lease or  interest  therein and there shall be no
readjustment  of interests  in the  remaining  portion of the Unit Area.  If any
party secures a new lease covering the  terminated  interest,  such  acquisition
shall be subject to the provisions of Paragraph 17 of this Agreement.

13. Resignation of Operator

     Operator may resign from its duties and obligations as Operator at any time
upon written notice of not less than 60 days given to all other parties. In this
case,  all parties to this  contract  shall select by majority vote in interest,
not in numbers, a new Operator who shall assume the responsibilities and duties,
and have the rights,  prescribed  for Operator by this  Agreement.  The retiring
Operator shall deliver to its successor all records and information necessary to
the discharge by the new Operator of its duties and obligations.

14. Maintenance of Unit Ownership

     For the purpose of  maintaining  uniformity of ownership on the oil and gas
leasehold  interests  covered by this contract,  and  notwithstanding  any other
provisions  to the  contrary,  no party shall sell,  encumber,  transfer or make
other  disposition of its interest in the leases  embraced  within the Unit Area
and in wells, equipment and production unless such disposition is made expressly
subject to this  Agreement,  and shall be made only with prejudice to the rights
of the other parties, and the consent of Operator.

     If at any time the interest of any party is divided among and owned by four
or more co-owners,  Operator may, at its  discretion,  require such co-owners to
appoint a single  trustee  or agent  with full  authority  to  receive  notices,
approve  expenditures,  receive  billings  for and approve and pay such  party's
share of the joint expenses, and to deal generally with, and with power to bind,
the  co-owners  of such  party's  interest  within  the scope of the  operations
embraced in this  contract;  however,  all such  co-owners  shall enter into and
execute all  contracts or agreements  for the  disposition  of their  respective
shares of the oil and gas produced  from the Unit Area,  and they shall have the
right to receive, separately, payment of the sale proceeds thereof.

15. Liability of Parties

     The  liability of the parties  shall be several,  not joint or  collective.
Each party shall be responsible  only for its  obligations,  and shall be liable
only for its  proportionate  share of the costs of developing  and operating the
Unit Area.  Accordingly,  the lien  granted by each party to Operator  herein is
given to secure only the debts of each severally. It is not the intention of the

                                       7
<PAGE>
parties  to  create,  nor shall this  Agreement  be  construed  as  creating  or
constructing  a mining or other  partnership  or  association  or to render them
liable as partners.

16. Renewal or Extension of Lease

     If any party  secures a renewal  of any oil and gas lease  subject  to this
contract, each and all of the other parties shall be notified promptly and shall
have the right to participate in the ownership of the renewal lease by paying to
the party who  acquired  it,  within  thirty  (30) days  after  receipt  of such
notification, their several proper proportionate share of the acquisition costs,
which shall be in proportion  to the interests  held at that time by the parties
in the Unit Area. Failure of any party to timely pay its proportionate  share of
such acquisition cost shall be deemed an election not to participate.

     If some,  but less than all, of the  parties  elect to  participate  in the
purchase  of a  renewal  lease,  it shall be owned by the  parties  who elect to
participate  therein, in a ratio based upon the relationship of their respective
percentage of  participation  in the purchase of such renewal lease. Any renewal
lease in which  less  than all the  parties  elect to  participate  shall not be
subject to this Agreement.

     Each party who  participates  in the  purchase of a renewal  lease shall be
given an  assignment  of its  proportionate  interest  therein by the  acquiring
party.

     The  provisions of this section shall apply to renewal  leases whether they
are for the  entire  interest  covered  by the  expiring  lease or cover  only a
portion of its area or an interest  therein.  Any renewal lease taken before the
expiration of its  predecessor  lease, or taken or contracted for within six (6)
months after the expiration of the existing lease, shall not be deemed a renewal
lease and shall not be subject to the provisions of this section.

     The  provisions  in this  section  shall  apply also and in like  manner to
extensions of oil and gas leases.

17. Surrender of Leases

     The leases covered by this  Agreement,  insofar as they embrace  acreage in
the Unit Area,  shall not be  surrendered in whole or in part unless all parties
consent.

     However,  should any party desire to surrender its interest in any lease or
in any  portion  thereof,  and other  parties  not agree or  consent,  the party
desiring to surrender shall assign without express or implied warranty of title,
all of its interest in such lease, or portion  thereof,  and any well,  material
and  equipment  which  may be  located  thereon  and any  rights  in  production
thereafter  secured,  to the parties not  desiring  to  surrender  it. Upon such
assignment,   the  assigning  party  shall  be  relieved  from  all  obligations
thereafter accruing,  but not theretofore  accrued,  with respect to the acreage
assigned and the operations of any well thereon,  and the assigning  party shall
have no further interest in the lease assigned and its equipment and production.
The parties  assignee  shall pay to the party  assignor the  reasonable  salvage
value of the  latter's  interest  in any wells  and  equipment  on the  assigned

                                       8
<PAGE>
acreage,  determined  in  accordance  with the  provisions  of  Exhibit  B, less
estimated cost of salvaging and the estimated  cost of plugging and  abandoning.
If the  assignment  is in favor of more than one party,  the  assigned  interest
shall be shared by the parties  assignee in the proportions that the interest of
each bears to the interest of all parties assignee.

     Any assignment or surrender  made under this provision  shall not reduce or
change the assignor's or surrendering  parties' interest,  as it was immediately
before the assignment,  in the balance of the Unit Area and the acreage assigned
or  surrendered,  and  subsequent  operations  thereof,  shall not thereafter be
subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

18. Provision Concerning Taxation

     The  liabilities  of the parties  hereto  shall be several and not joint or
collective,  and each party shall be responsible for its proportionate  share of
the costs and liabilities incurred as provided hereunder.  It is not the purpose
or  intention  of the  Agreement  to create  for state  law any  partnership  or
association,  and neither this Agreement nor the operations  hereunder  shall be
construed or  considered  as creating any such  relationship.  Furthermore,  the
parties  hereto  acknowledge  and  represent  that it is not their  intention to
create a Partnership  for federal and state income tax purposes,  and each party
agrees to elect to be excluded from the application of Subchapter K of Chapter 1
of Subtitle A of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1954,  as amended (the Code),  or
any similar provisions contained in applicable statutes of the various states of
the United States.

     Operator  shall render to each party an annual working  interest  statement
and accompanying 1099-Misc.  Form, and each party is then liable for preparation
of necessary tax forms to the Internal Revenue Service.

     Operator shall render for ad valorem  taxation all property subject to this
Agreement,  which by law should be rendered for such taxes, and it shall pay all
such taxes assessed thereon before they become  delinquent.  Operator shall bill
all other  parties  for their  proportionate  share of all tax  payments  in the
manner provided in Exhibit Two.

     If any tax assessment is considered unreasonable by Operator, it may at its
discretion  protest such valuation within the time and manner  prescribed by law
and prosecute the protest to a final determination,  unless all parties agree to
abandon  the  protest  prior to  final  determination.  When any such  protested
valuation shall have been finally determined,  Operator shall pay the assessment
for the joint account, together with interest and penalty accrued, and the total
costs  shall then be  assessed  against  the  parties,  and be paid by them,  as
provided in Exhibit B.

19. Insurance

     At all times while  operations  are  conducted  hereunder,  Operator  shall
comply with the  applicable  Workmen's  Compensation  Law of the State where the
operations  are being  conducted.  Operator  shall  require all the  contractors
engaged in work on or for the Unit Area to comply  with  Workmen's  Compensation
Law of the State where the operations  are being  conducted and to maintain such
other insurance as operations may require.

                                       9
<PAGE>
20. Claim and Lawsuits

     If any party to this contract is sued on an alleged cause of action arising
out of operations  on the Unit Area, or on an alleged cause of action  involving
title to any lease or oil and gas interest  subject to this  contract,  it shall
promptly give written notices of the suit to the Operator.

     The defense of lawsuits  can be under the general  direction of a committee
of lawyers representing the parties, with Operator's attorney as Chairman. Suits
may be  settled  during  litigations  only  with the  joint  consent  of all the
parties. All expenses incurred in the defense of suits, together with the amount
paid to discharge any final judgment shall be considered  costs of operation and
shall be charged to and paid by all parties in proportion to their then interest
in the Unit  Area,  or can be  handled by the  Operator's  legal  counsel on the
behalf of all parties.

     Damage  claims  caused by and  arising out of  operation  on the Unit Area,
conducted  for the joint account of all parties shall be handled by Operator and
its  attorneys,  the  settlement  of  claims of this  kind  shall be within  the
discretion of Operator so long as the amount paid in settlement of any one claim
does not exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) and, if settled,  the sums paid
in  settlement  shall be charged  as  expense  to and be paid by all  parties in
proportion to their interests in the Unit Area.

21. Force Majeure

     If any party is rendered  unable,  wholly or in part, by force majeure,  to
carry out its obligations under this Agreement other than the obligation to make
money payments, that party shall give to all other parties prompt written notice
of the force majeure with reasonably full  particulars  concerning it; thereupon
the  obligations of the party giving the notice,  so far as they are affected by
the force majeure, shall be suspended during, but no longer than the continuance
of the force  majeure.  The affected  party shall use all possible  diligence to
remove the force majeure as quickly as possible.

     The  requirement  that  any  force  majeure  shall  be  remedied  with  all
reasonable  dispatch shall not require the settlement of strikes,  lockouts,  or
other labor  difficulty by the party  involved  contrary to its wishes;  how all
such  difficulties  shall be handled shall be entirely  within the discretion of
the party concerned.

     The term "force majeure" as here employed shall mean an act of God, strike,
lockout or other industrial disturbance,  act of the public enemy, war blockage,
public riot, lightening, fire, storm, flood, explosion,  governmental restraint,
unavailability  of  equipment,   and  any  other  cause,  whether  of  the  kind
specifically  enumerated above or otherwise,  which is not reasonably within the
control of the party claiming suspension.

22. Notices

     All notices  authorized or required between the parties and required by any
of the  provisions  of  this  Agreement  shall,  unless  otherwise  specifically
provided,  be given in writing by United States mail or Western Union  Telegram,

                                       10
<PAGE>
with postage or charges  prepaid,  and addressed to the party whom the notice is
given at the addresses  listed opposite their signature  below.  The originating
notice to be given under any  provisions  hereof shall be deemed given only when
received  by the party to whom such  notice is  directed,  and the time for such
party to give  any  response  thereto  shall  run from the date the  originating
notice is received.

     The second or any responsive notice shall be deemed given when deposited in
the United States mail or with the Western Union Telegram Company,  with postage
or charges prepaid. Each party shall have the right to change its address as any
time and  from  time to time by  giving  written  notice  thereof  to all  other
parties.

     This Agreement may be signed in counterpart,  and shall be binding upon the
parties and upon their heirs, successors, representatives, and assigns.

                              ACCOUNTING PROCEDURE
                        (Unit and Joint Lease Operations)

I. GENERAL PROVISIONS

A.  Definitions:  "Joint Property" as herein used shall be construed to mean the
subject area covered by the  Agreement to which this  "Accounting  Procedure" is
attached.

     "Operator"  as herein used shall be construed to mean the party  designated
to conduct the  development  and  operation  of the  subject  area for the joint
account of the parties hereto.

     "Non-operator" as herein used shall be construed to mean any one or more of
the non-operating parties.

B.  Accounting  to  Non-Operator:  Operator  will  collect all working  interest
owners' oil and gas revenues  and deduct  therefrom  the cost of  operating  and
maintaining the oil and gas  properties.  The remainder will then be distributed
monthly to each working  interest owner  proportionate  to his working  interest
ownership on the oil and gas properties covered by this Agreement.

C.  Adjustments:  Payment of any such  bills  shall not  prejudice  the right of
non-operator  to protest or question the  correctness  thereof.  All  statements
rendered to non-operator by Operator during any calendar year within twelve (12)
month period  following the end of each such calendar year,  provided,  however,
that  non-operator  must  take  written  exception  to and make  claim  upon the
Operator for  adjustment.  Failure on the part of non-operator to make claims on
Operator for adjustment  within such period shall  establish the  correctness of
claims for adjustment thereon.

D.  Audits:  A  non-operator  upon notice in writing to  Operator  and all other
non-operators,  shall have the right to audit  Operator's  accounts  and records
relating to the  accounting  hereunder  for any calendar  year within the twelve
(12) month period  following the end of such calendar year;  provided,  however,
that  non-operator  must  take  written  exception  to and make  claim  upon the
Operator for all  discrepancies  disclosed by said audit within said twelve (12)
month period. Where there are two or more non-operators, the non-operators shall
make every reasonable effort to conduct joint or simultaneous audits in a manner
that will result in a minimum of inconvenience to Operator.

II. DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATING CHARGES

     Subject to limitations  hereinafter  prescribed,  Operator shall charge the
joint account with the following items:

                                       12
<PAGE>
A. Rental and Royalties:  Delay or other rentals,  when such rentals are paid by
Operator for the joint  account,  royalties,  when not paid  directly to royalty
owners by the purchaser of the oil, gas, casinghead gas, or other products.

B. Service:  Outside  Services -- The cost,  of contract  services and utilities
procured from outside sources.

C.  Damages and Losses to Joint  Property and  Equipment:  All costs or expenses
necessary to replace or repair damages or losses incurred by fire, flood, storm,
theft,  accident,  or any other causes not  controlled  by Operator  through the
exercise of reasonable  diligence.  Operator shall furnish  non-operator written
notice of damages or losses incurred as soon as practicable  after report of the
same has been received by Operator.

D. Litigation  Expenses:  All costs and expenses of litigation or legal services
otherwise  necessary  or expedient  for the  protection  of the joint  interest,
including attorney's fees and expenses hereinafter  provided,  together with all
judgment  obtained  against  the  parties or any of them on account of the joint
operations  under this Agreement,  and actual expenses  incurred by any party or
parties  hereto in securing  evidence for the purpose of  defending  against any
action or claim  prosecuted  or urged  against the joint  account or the subject
matter of this Agreement.

     1.   If a majority of the interests  hereunder  shall so agree,  actions or
          claims  affecting the joint interests  hereunder may be handled by the
          attorney  of  one  or  more  of  the  parties  hereto;  and  a  charge
          commensurate  with cost of  providing  and  furnishing  such  services
          rendered  may be made  against the joint  account;  but no such charge
          shall be made until approved by the Operator's attorneys.

     2.   Fees and expenses of attorneys other than  Operator's  attorneys shall
          not be charged to the joint account unless  authorized by the majority
          of the interests hereunder.

E.  Taxes:  All taxes of every kind and  nature  assessed  or levied  upon or in
connection  with the  properties  which are the subject of this  Agreement,  the
production therefrom or the operation thereof, and which taxes have been paid by
the Operator for the benefit of the parties hereto.

F. Insurance and Claims

     1.   Premiums paid for insurance  required to be carried for the benefit of
          the joint account, together with all expenditures incurred and paid in
          settlement of any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments and other
          expenses,  including  legal  services,  not recovered  from  insurance
          carrier.

                                       13
<PAGE>
     2.   If no  insurance  is required to be carried,  all actual  expenditures
          incurred and paid by the Operator in settlement of any and all losses,
          claims,  damages,  judgments or any other  expenses,  including  legal
          services, shall be charged to the joint account.

G. Operating and Administrative: Operator shall have the right to assess against
the joint  party  covered  thereby  $200 per  month per well for  administrative
overhead and related  costs.  Pumper  charge will be limited to $65 per month in
addition to the above administrative fee. In addition, participants and Operator
will pay their  proportionate share of lease and well operation costs. All costs
attributable to participants will be deducted from revenue due them. These costs
are subject to escalation, based on the U.S. Consumer Price Index.

     1.   Overhead  charges for producing wells shall begin on the date the well
          operations  are taken over by the  operator and  terminate  when it is
          plugged.

     2.   In connection with overhead  charges,  the status of wells shall be as
          follows:

          a.   Injection wells for recovery  operations,  such as for repressure
               of water flood,  shall be included in the  overhead  schedule the
               same as producing wells.

          b.   Water supply wells utilized for water flooding  operations  shall
               be included in the overhead  schedule  the same as producing  oil
               wells.

          c.   Producing  gas wells shall be included in the  overhead  schedule
               the same as producing oil wells.

          d.   Wells permanently shut down but on which plugging  operations are
               deferred shall be dropped from the overhead  schedule at the time
               the shut-down is effected. When such wells are plugged,  overhead
               will be  charged  at the  producing  well  rate  during  the time
               required for the plugging operation.

          e.   Wells being  plugged  back,  drilled  deeper,  or  converted to a
               source or input well shall be included in the  overhead  schedule
               the same as drilling wells.

          f.   Temporarily   shut  down  wells   (other  than  by   governmental
               regulatory  body)  which are not  produced  or worked  upon for a
               period of a full  calendar  month  shall not be  included  in the
               overhead  schedule;   however,  wells  shut  in  by  governmental
               authority shall be included in the overhead  schedule only in the
               event the allowable  production is  transferred to other wells on
               the same property.  In the event of a unit  allowable,  all wells
               capable of producing will be counted in determining  the overhead
               charge.

                                       14
<PAGE>
          g.   Wells completed in dual or multiple  horizons shall be considered
               as one well in the producing overhead schedule.

          h.   Lease salt water  disposal  wells  shall not be  included  in the
               overhead  schedule  unless  such  wells  are used as a  secondary
               recovery program on the joint property.

     7.   The above  overhead  schedule for producing  wells shall be applied to
          the total number of wells  operated  under the Operating  Agreement to
          which  this   accounting   procedure  is  attached,   irrespective  of
          individual lease.

     8.   It is specifically understood that the above overhead rates apply only
          to drilling and producing operations and are not intended to cover the
          construction  or operation of additional  facilities  such as, but not
          limited to, gasoline plants, compressor plants, repressuring projects,
          salt water disposal facilities,  and similar installations.  if any or
          all of these become necessary to the operation,  a separate  agreement
          will be reached relative to an overhead charge, if any.

     9.   The above specific  overhead rates may be amended from time to time by
          agreement between Operator and non-operator if, in practice,  they are
          found to be insufficient or excessive.

H.  Other  Expenditures:  Any  expenditure,  other than  expenditures  which are
covered and dealt with by the foregoing  provisions of this Section II, incurred
by the  Operator  for the  necessary  and proper  development,  maintenance  and
operation of the joint property.

III. BASIS OF CHARGES TO JOINT ACCOUNT

Purchases:  Material  and  equipment  purchases  and service  procured  shall be
charged at the prices paid by Operator after deduction of all discount  actually
received.
