Item 5. Other Events.

Purchase of Raton Basin, Hugoton Field and San Juan Basin Properties

On April 9, 2003, the Company issued a press release to announce that the Company has entered into a definitive agreement with units of Williams (NYSE-WMB) of Tulsa, Oklahoma to acquire natural gas and coal bed methane producing properties located in the Raton Basin of Colorado, the Hugoton Field of southwestern Kansas and the San Juan Basin of New Mexico and Colorado for $400 million. XTO Energy’s internal engineers estimate proved reserves to be 311 billion cubic feet of gas equivalent of which 77% are proved developed. This acquisition will add about 60 million cubic feet per day of long-lived gas production to the Company’s steadily growing production base.

This transaction is scheduled to close on or before June 6, 2003, with an effective date of March 1, 2003 for the Hugoton Field assets and April 1, 2003 for the others. The seller advises the Company that a portion of the San Juan Basin non-operated properties is subject to preferential purchase rights. The final closing price is subject to typical closing and post-closing adjustments. The purchase will be funded through placement of equity and long-term debt.

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