Item 5.    Other Events.

Purchase of San Juan Basin Properties

On December 30, 2002, the Company issued a press release with respect to completion of the previously announced acquisition of coalbed-methane gas producing properties in southwestern Colorado from J. M. Huber Corporation of Edison, New Jersey for $153.8 million. The final closing price reflects adjustments of net revenue and other items from the October 1, 2002 effective date. The Company’s internal engineers estimate proved reserves to be 154 billion cubic feet of natural gas of which 79% are proved developed producing. Beginning December 30, 2002, the acquired properties will contribute about 29 million cubic feet per day of natural gas to the Company’s production. The acquisition purchase was funded through existing bank lines and should be repaid from operational cash flow during 2003.

A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1.
