offering upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus, dated
[     ], 2001 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the "Prospectus"),
and in the related Letter of Transmittal enclosed herewith, to exchange (the
"Exchange Offer") its 10 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 Series C (the
"Exchange Notes") for an equal principal amount of its 10 7/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "Series A Notes") and its 10 7/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2007 Series B (the "Series B Notes" and, together with

of the Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects to the Series A
Notes except that the Exchange Notes will have a maximum aggregate principal
amount of $225.0 million and the terms of the Exchange Notes are identical in
all material respects to the Series B Notes, except that the Exchange Notes
will have a maximum aggregate principal amount of $225.0 million, will not
contain certain transfer restrictions relating to the Series B Notes and will
not contain certain provisions relating to an increase in the interest rate
which were included in the Series B Notes under certain circumstances relating
to, among other things, the timing of the Exchange Offer. Old Notes may only be
tendered in integral multiples of $1,000.

   The Exchange Offer is subject to certain conditions. See "The Exchange
Offer--Terms of the Exchange Offer" in the Prospectus.

3. A yellow form of letter which may be sent to your clients for whose accounts
   you hold the Old Notes registered in your name or in the name of your
   nominee, with space provided for obtaining such client's instructions with
   regard to the Exchange Offer.

   Your prompt attention is requested. We urge you to contact your clients as
promptly as possible. Please note the Exchange Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on October 3, 2001, unless extended. Please furnish copies
of the enclosed materials to those of your clients for whom you hold Old Notes
registered in your name or your nominee as quickly as possible.

   In most cases, exchanges of the Old Notes accepted for exchange pursuant to
the Exchange Offer will be made only after timely receipt by the Exchange Agent
of (a) certificates representing such Old Notes, (b) the Letter of Transmittal
(or facsimile thereof) properly completed and duly executed with any required
signature guarantees, and (c) any other documents required by the Letter of
Transmittal.

   If holders of the Old Notes wish to tender, but it is impracticable for them
to forward their certificates for the Old Notes prior to the expiration of the
Exchange Offer or to comply with the book-entry transfer procedures on a timely
basis, a tender may be offered by following the guaranteed delivery procedure
described in the Prospectus under "The Exchange Offer--Guaranteed Delivery
Procedures."

   The Exchange Offer is not being made to (nor will tenders be accepted from
or on behalf of) holders of Old Notes residing in any jurisdiction in which the
making of the Exchange Offer or the acceptance thereof would not be in
compliance with the laws of such jurisdiction.

   The Company will not pay any fees or commissions to brokers, dealers or
other persons for soliciting exchanges of the Old Notes pursuant to the
Exchange Offer. The Company will, however, upon request, reimburse you for
customary clerical and mailing expenses incurred by you in forwarding any of
the enclosed materials to your clients. The Company will pay or cause to be
paid any transfer taxes payable on the transfer of the Old Notes to it, except
as otherwise provided in Instruction 7 of the Letter of Transmittal.

   Questions and requests for assistance with respect to the Exchange Offer or
for copies of the Prospectus and Letter of Transmittal may be directed to the
Exchange Agent at its address set forth in the Prospectus.

                                          Very truly yours,

                                          MISSION RESOURCES CORPORATION

   Nothing contained herein or in the enclosed documents shall constitute you

affiliate thereof, or authorize you or any other person to give any information
or make any representation on behalf of any of them with respect to the
Exchange Offer other than the enclosed documents and the statements contained
therein.
