Item 5. Other Events.

On April 19, 2004, XTO Energy Inc. issued a news release with respect to completion of its previously announced purchases of producing properties in both the Barnett Shale of North Texas and the Arkoma Basin of Arkansas, adding approximately 175 billion cubic feet equivalent (Bcfe) of natural gas reserves. The final closing price of about $223 million reflects adjustments for the purchase of additional working interests in the properties offset by net revenues at closing. The Company has also expanded its current acreage position in the Barnett Shale to a total of more than 20,000 net acres.

The Company’s internal engineers estimate that approximately 51% of the 175 Bcfe of reserves are proved developed. The acquisitions will add about 28 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent per day to the Company’s production base.

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