     Re:  Credit Agreement dated as of June 24, 1999 (as amended to date, the
          "Credit Agreement") among Titan Exploration, Inc., as Borrower
          ("Borrower"), Chase Bank of Texas, National Association, as Agent, and
          the Lenders Signatory Thereto

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Reference is made to the Credit Agreement for the meanings of terms defined
therein which, unless otherwise defined in this letter, shall have the same
meanings when used herein.

     Last December, Agent and Lenders agreed with Borrower to extend the
Maturity Date under the Credit Agreement to April 1, 2001.  Borrower now
requests Lenders' and Agent's agreement that the term "Maturity Date" in the
Credit Agreement will hereafter refer to July 1, 2001 rather than April 1, 2001.

     Please execute a copy of this letter in the space provided below to
evidence this  requested agreement.  Thank you very much for your cooperation.

                         Yours truly,

                         TITAN EXPLORATION, INC.
