Pursuant to Rule 13d-2(a) of Regulation 13D-G of
the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), the
undersigned hereby amend their Schedule 13D Statement
dated May 14, 1999 relating to the $.001 par value common
stock of PYR Energy Corporation (the "Company") (such
initial Schedule 13D shall hereinafter be referred to as
the "Statement").  Unless otherwise indicated, all
defined terms used in this Amendment No. 1 to the
Statement (this "Amendment") shall have the same meanings
as those set forth in the Statement.  There has been no
material change in the information included in the
Statement except as regards the information contained in
Item 5 of the Statement, which is supplemented as set
forth below.  Because the undersigned beneficially own
less than 5.0% of the Company=s common stock at this time,
no further amendments will be filed to the Statement
unless and until the undersigned again own 5.0% or more
of the Company=s outstanding common stock.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

As the result of sales of Company stock by the
parties filing this Statement, Mr. Claugus may now be
deemed to be the beneficial owner of a total of 728,550
shares of the Company stock, representing approximately
4.6%  of the issued and outstanding shares of the
Company, under the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  Of these shares,
355,150 shares (approximately 2.2% of outstanding shares)
are owned directly by Bay Onshore, 133,810 shares
(approximately 0.8% of outstanding shares) are owned
directly by Bay Offshore, 184,320 shares (approximately
1.2% of outstanding shares) are owned directly by GMT,
Inc., and 55,270 shares (approximately 0.8% of
outstanding shares) are owned by Mr. Claugus in his
regular and individual retirement accounts.  Mr. Claugus
currently has sole power to direct the voting and
disposition of all shares held by the Claugus Group.

The percentages of outstanding shares of the
Company stock set out in the preceding paragraph are
computed based on a total of 15,947,764 outstanding
shares of Company stock as of January 27, 2000 as
indicated in the Company=s amended Annual Report on Form
10-KSB/A1 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1999.
