                   THE CLPE HOLDINGS MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN

                                  ("the Plan")

DISTRIBUTIONS

"A Distribution" will include not only a cash dividend, but any return of value
to shareholders in CLPE Holdings Limited ("the Company"), including a
distribution of profits or a return of capital. Where a Distribution is in a
form other than cash, the board of directors of the Company ("the Board"),
acting fairly and reasonably, will in any case where it is not possible for the
participants from time to time under the Plan ("the Participants") to receive
their allocations of the Distribution in the same form, determine the cash
equivalent of the Distribution and the time at which such cash equivalent should
be received by Participants so as to give the closest equivalent to receipt of
their allocations of the Distribution itself.

On each occasion on which the Company makes a Distribution, a separate amount
equal to 10% of the Distribution ("the Participation Pool") will be distributed
among the Participants, except such amounts allocated to the Discretionary
Employee Bonus Pool as provided below. The funding and distribution of the
Participation Pool will be an obligation of the Company.

ALLOCATIONS

Provided that a Participant (other than the Discretionary Employee Bonus Pool)
is at the time of payment of a Distribution still an employee or director of the
Company or one of its subsidiaries or otherwise still involved in the management
or conduct of the Company's affairs as determined by the Board acting in good
faith ("an Associated Participant"), each Participation Pool will be divided as
set out in the table below ("the Allocation Table"):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       Name of Participant                 Percentage of Participation Pool to
                                            be paid to Associated Participant
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Harry Wyndham                                   25%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Discretionary Employee Bonus Pool                         11%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       Alexandra Pentecost                                 5%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
           Randy Holmes                                    5%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<PAGE>

Amounts allocated from the Participation Pool to the Discretionary Employee
Bonus Pool can, at the discretion of the Board, be accumulated or used to make
payments to any one or more employees or directors of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries chosen at the discretion of the Board.

CESSATION OF OFFICE OR EMPLOYMENT

Whilst a Participant remains an Associated Participant, he or she will be
entitled to continue to receive allocations from the Participation Pool as set
out in the Allocation Table from each Distribution or upon a sale of the Company
which shall be defined as the acquisition of control (as defined in section 416
of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988) of the Company by a person other
than Ridgewood UK LLC or Arbutus Energy Limited ("a Sale").

If a Participant ceases to be an Associated Participant because of his or her
death, his or her entitlement to receive a payment under the Plan in the event
of a Distribution or a Sale will not lapse and will pass to his personal
representatives. The amount of such payment is to be determined in the same
manner as if the relevant Participant had ceased to be an Associated Participant
other than by reason of summary dismissal or other than in circumstances
justifying summary dismissal.

If a Participant's employment or office or involvement in the Company's affairs
is terminated because of summary dismissal or in circumstances justifying
summary dismissal, the Participant will lose all entitlement to receive further
payments under the Plan.

If a Participant ceases to be an Associated Participant for any reason other
than summary dismissal or circumstances justifying summary dismissal, he or she
(or in the event of his or her death, his or her personal representatives) will
be entitled to continue to receive allocations from Distributions made after the
date of such cessation only to the extent determined from the following formula:

                                  S = P x A x V

Where:

S = sum to be paid to Participant who has ceased to be an Associated Participant

P = the amount of the Participation Pool

A = percentage allocation as set out in the Allocation Table

<PAGE>

V = percentage of entitlement which has vested at the date the Participant
    ceased to be an Associated Participant, determined from the vesting table
    below.

</TABLE>

The percentage vesting figures given in the Vesting Table are intended to be
cumulative on attainment of each successive specified vesting date. If a
Participant has ceased to be an Associated Participant before the date on which
the maximum percentage vesting will occur, the balance of the payment determined
from the Allocation Table which would have been due to him had the vesting table
not applied will be at the discretion of the Board, who may allocate such
balance in such a manner as it thinks fit.

SALE OF THE COMPANY

In the event of a Sale, payments to be made under the Plan will be determined as
follows:

     o    to Participants who remain Participants or Associated Participants at
          the date of the Sale, their full allocation in accordance with the
          Allocation Table, disregarding the provisions of the Vesting Table;

     o    to Participants who have ceased to be Associated Participants prior to
          the date of the Sale other than by reason of summary dismissal or
          circumstances justifying summary dismissal, in accordance with the
          provisions of the Vesting Table; and

     o    to Participants who at the date of the Sale have ceased to be
          Associated Participants by reason of summary dismissal or in
          circumstances justifying summary dismissal, no payment.

<PAGE>

Any amounts of the Participation Pool arising in the event of a Sale which are
not allocated to a Participant because of the provisions above will be allocated
at the discretion of the Board, who may allocate such amounts in such a manner
as it thinks fit.

On a Sale the Participation Pool will be equal to 10% of the Balance (as defined
in the table below) of the consideration received by shareholders on a Sale and
the amount of each of the Participants' entitlements under the Plan shall be
determined in accordance with the Allocation Table. The funding and distribution
of the Participation Pool in the event of a Sale will be an obligation of the
Company and the amounts (if any) due to each Participant shall become due and
payable by the Company on completion of the Sale.

GENERAL

The right to receive payments under the Plan will be granted to a Participant at
such time as the Board resolves to adopt the Plan. Once such a right has been
granted, the Participant will have a legally enforceable right to receive a
payment in accordance with the Plan in the event of a Distribution or a Sale,
subject to the terms of the Plan as set out in this document.

The right to receive payments under the Plan will be personal to the Participant
to whom it is granted and will not be transferable or assignable (except to his
or her personal representatives in the event of his or her death).

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan:

o    the Plan will not form any part of any contract of employment between the
     Company or any of its subsidiaries and any employees of any of those
     companies, and it will not confer on any such employees any legal or
     equitable rights (other than those constituting rights under the Plan
     themselves) against the Company or any of its subsidiaries, directly or
     indirectly, or give rise to any cause of action in law or in equity against
     the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

o    the benefits to Participants under the Plan will not form any part of their
     wages or remuneration or count as pay or remuneration for pension fund or
     other purposes;

o    in no circumstances will any Participant on ceasing to hold the office or
     employment by virtue of which he is or may be eligible to participate in
     the Plan be entitled to any compensation for any loss of any right or
     benefit or prospective right or benefit under the Plan which he might
     otherwise have enjoyed whether such compensation is claimed by way of
     damages for wrongful dismissal or other breach of contract or by way of
     compensation for loss of office or otherwise.

Any amount paid to a Participant under the Plan will be subject to any
deductions in respect of income tax and National Insurance contributions and any
other deductions which the Company or the employer of the Participant (as the
case may be) is required by law to make.

<PAGE>

The Board may make any amendments to the Plan provided that no amendment will be
effective to abrogate or alter adversely any rights already granted to a
Participant except with his consent.

In the event of a reconstruction of any group of companies of which the Company
forms a part, the Board (or, if appropriate, the board of directors of the
relevant successor company) will determine whether any consideration given by
any successor company to the Company is a Distribution, but for the avoidance of
doubt, consideration in the form of ordinary shares will not normally be
considered to be a Distribution (unless the ordinary shares concerned are traded
on a stock market, in which case such shares will be considered to be a
Distribution) although distributions in respect of these shares may be regarded
as Distributions even though the shares may not be in the Company, whereas if
such consideration consists of loan stock or debentures or redeemable shares,
such consideration will be considered to be a Distribution and the time at which
such Distribution will be regarded as having been paid shall be determined by
the Board as set out above.Exhibit 10.13
