                                    OFFICES

Section 1.1 -     Offices

     To the extent not otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation,  the
principal  office of the  Corporation  shall be at 1100  Louisiana,  Suite 4900,
Houston,  TX 77002.  The  Corporation  may have such other offices at such other
places as the Board of  Directors  may from  time to time  determine,  or as the
business of the Corporation may require.

                                   ARTICLE 2
                             SHAREHOLDERS' MEETINGS

Section 2.1 -     Annual and Special Meetings

     Meetings of the shareholders  shall be held at such place within or outside
of Alberta,  as  designated  by the Board of Directors  and  consented to by all
shareholders  entitled  to  vote at  such  meeting.  An  annual  meeting  of the
shareholders  shall be called  by the Board of  Directors  for the  election  of
directors,  the consideration of the reports to be laid before the meeting,  and
the  transaction of such other business as may be brought before the meeting not
later than 15 months after the holding of the last preceding annual meeting. The
Board of Directors may at any time call a special meeting of the shareholders.

Section 2.2 -     Notice of Annual Meeting

     Notice of the annual meeting shall be given in writing to each  shareholder
entitled  to vote  thereat,  at such  address as  appears on the  records of the
Corporation at least 21 days and not more than 50 days prior to the meeting.

Section 2.3 -     Notice of Special Meeting

     Notice  of a special  meeting,  in  writing,  stating  the time,  place and
purpose thereof, shall be given to each shareholder entitled to vote thereat, at
least 21 days and not more than 50 days prior to the meeting.

Section 2.4 -     Waiver of Notice

     Notice of any  meeting  of  shareholders  may be waived in any  manner by a
shareholder  or any other person  entitled to attend a meeting of  shareholders.
Attendance,  unless such  attendance is for the express  purpose of objecting to
the  transaction  of business on the  grounds  that the meeting is not  lawfully
called, will operate as a waiver of notice.

Section 2.5 -     Quorum

     The holders of shares  entitling  them to exercise a majority of the voting
power, or, if the vote is to be taken by classes,  the holders of shares of each
class  entitling  them to exercise a majority of the voting power of that class,
present  in  person  or by  proxy at any  meeting  of the  shareholders,  unless
otherwise specified by statute, shall constitute a quorum.

     If,  however,  at any meeting of the  shareholders,  a quorum shall fail to
attend in person  or by  proxy,  a  majority  in  interest  of the  shareholders
attending  in  person  or by proxy at the time  and  place of such  meeting  may
adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice (unless the meeting
has been  adjourned for over thirty  days),  other than by  announcement  at the
meeting at which such  adjournment is taken,  until a quorum is present.  At any
such adjourned  meeting at which a quorum shall be present,  any business may be
transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting originally called.

Section 2.6 -     Voting

     At each  meeting  of the  shareholders,  except as  otherwise  provided  by
statute or the  Articles of  Incorporation,  every holder of record of shares of
the class or classes  entitled to vote at such meeting shall be entitled to vote
in person or by proxy  appointed by an instrument in writing  subscribed by such
shareholder  and bearing a date, not later than such time as expressly  provided
by statute,  prior to said meeting unless some other definite period of validity
shall be expressly provided therein.

     Each  shareholder  shall  have one (1) vote for each  share  having  voting
power,  registered  in his or her name on the books of the  Corporation,  at the
date fixed for  determination  of persons entitled to vote at the meeting or, if
no date has been fixed, then as expressly provided by statute. (e.g., either the
date of the meeting,  the date next  preceeding  the day of the meeting,  or any
such similar governing time frame). Cumulative voting shall be permitted only as
expressly provided by statute.

     At any meeting of  shareholders,  a list of shareholders  entitled to vote,
alphabetically  arranged,  showing the number and classes of shares held by each
on the date fixed for closing  the books  against  transfers  or the record date
fixed as  here-in-before  provided  (or if no such date has been fixed,  then as
here-in-before stated as expressly provided by statute) shall be produced on the
request of any  shareholder,  and such list shall be prima facie evidence of the
ownership of shares and of the right of  shareholders to vote, when certified by
the Secretary or by the agent of the  Corporation  having charge of the transfer
of shares.

Section 2.7 -     Written Resolution of Shareholders in Lieu of Meeting

     Any action required or permitted by statute, the Articles of Incorporation,
or these By-Laws,  to be taken at any annual or special  meeting of shareholders
of the  Corporation,  may be taken  without a meeting,  without prior notice and
without a vote, if a written resolution in lieu of a meeting,  setting forth the
action  so  taken,  shall be signed  by all the  shareholders  entitled  to vote
thereon.  Any such  written  resolution  may be given  by one or any  number  of
substantially  concurrent  written  instruments of  substantially  similar tenor
signed by such shareholders, in person or by attorney or proxy duly appointed in
writing,  and  filed  with the  records  of the  Corporation.  Any such  written
resolution shall be effective as of the date specified therein.

                                   ARTICLE 3
                                   DIRECTORS

Section 3.1 -     Duties and Powers

     The  business and affairs of the  Corporation  shall be managed by or under

the  Articles of  Incorporation,  or these  By-Laws,  directed or required to be
exercised or done by the shareholders.

Section 3.2 -     Election of Directors

     Directors  shall be  elected  annually  by  shareholders  at  their  annual
meeting,  in a manner  consistent  with  statute  and as  provided in Article 2,

until his/her successor is duly elected and qualifies,  or until his/her earlier
resignation  or removal.  Any director may resign at any time upon notice to the
Corporation.  Directors need not be shareholders and shall fulfill the residency
requirements  as and if provided by statute.  Any director may be removed at any
time with or without cause by a majority vote of the  shareholders  at a special
meeting, unless otherwise provided by statute.

Section 3.3 -     Meetings

     Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held at such time, place,
and upon such notice as the Board of Directors may from time to time  determine.
Notice thereof stating the place, date and hour of the meeting shall be given to
each director  either by mail (not less than  forty-eight  (48) hours before the
date of the  meeting),  by telephone or telegram (on at least  twenty-four  (24)
hours' notice) or on such shorter  notice as the person or persons  calling such
meeting may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances.

Section 3.4 -     Quorum

     Except  as may be  otherwise  specifically  provided  for by  statute,  the
Articles of  Incorporation  or these  By-Laws,  at all  meetings of the Board of
Directors, a majority of the entire Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum
for the  transaction  of  business  and the act of a majority  of the  directors
present at any meeting at which there is a quorum  shall be the act of the Board
of  Directors.  If a quorum  shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of
Directors,  the directors  present  thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to
time,  without  notice other than  announcement  at the meeting,  until a quorum
shall be present.

Section 3.5 -     Actions of Board

     Unless  otherwise   provided  by  the  Articles  of  Incorporation  of  the
Corporation  or these By-Laws,  any action  required or permitted to be taken at
any meeting of the Board of Directors,  or of any committee(s)  thereof,  may be
taken  without a meeting,  if all the members of the Board of  Directors,  or of
such  committee(s),  as the case may be,  resolve  thereto in  writing,  and the
resolution is filed with the minutes of  proceedings  of the Board of Directors,
or of such  committee(s),  of the  Corporation.  Any such written  resolution to
action of the Board of Directors, or of such committee(s),  shall be effectuated
by the signature of the member lastly consenting thereto in writing,  unless the
resolution otherwise specified a prior or subsequent effective date.

Section 3.6 -     Meetings by Means of Conference Telephone

     Unless  otherwise  provided  by  these  By-Laws,  members  of the  Board of
Directors,  or any  committee(s)  thereof,  may  participate in a meeting of the
Board of Directors,  or of such committee(s),  as the case may be, by means of a
conference telephone or similar  communications  equipment by means of which all
persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a
meeting pursuant to this Section 3.6 shall constitute presence in person at such
meeting.

Section 3.7 -     Committees

     The Board of  Directors  may,  by  resolution  passed by a majority  of the
entire Board of Directors, designate, from time to time as they may see fit, one
or  more  committees,  each  such  committee  to  consist  of two or more of the
directors of the  Corporation.  The Board of Directors may designate one or more
directors as alternate  members of any such committee who may replace any absent
or disqualified  member at any meeting of any such committee.  In the absence or
disqualification of a member of a committee, and in the absence of a designation
by the Board of  Directors  of an  alternate  member to  replace  the  absent or
disqualified  member,  the member or members  thereof present at any meeting and
not disqualified from voting, whether or not he/she or they constitute a quorum,
may  unanimously  appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the
meeting in the place of any absent or disqualified  member. Each committee shall
keep regular minutes and report to the Board of Directors when required.

Section 3.8 -     Compensation

     Each  director of the  Corporation  (other than  directors who are salaried
officers  of the  Corporation  or any of its  affiliates)  shall be  entitled to
receive as  compensation  for services such reasonable  compensation,  which may
include pension,  disability and death benefits,  as may be determined from time
to time by the Board of Directors.  Reasonable  compensation may also be paid to
any person other than a director officially called to attend any such meeting.

     No contract or transaction  between the  Corporation and one or more of its
directors or officers,  or between the  Corporation  and any other  corporation,
partnership,  association,  or other  organization  in which  one or more of its
directors or officers are directors or officers,  or have a financial  interest,
shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director
or  officer is present at the  meeting of the Board of  Directors  or  committee
thereof which  authorizes the contract or transaction if: (i) the material facts
as to his/her or their  relationship  or interest in the contract or transaction
are disclosed in writing to the  Corporation  or are entered into the minutes of
the meeting of  directors  and the Board of Directors or committee in good faith
authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of
the disinterested  directors,  even though the  disinterested  directors be less
than a quorum; or (ii) the material facts as to his/her or their relationship or
interest  in the  contract  or  transaction  are  disclosed  in  writing  to the
Corporation or are entered into the minute of the meeting of directors,  and the
contract or  transaction is  specifically  approved in good faith by vote of the
shareholders. Interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of
a  quorum  at a  meeting  of the  Board of  Directors  or of a  committee  which
authorizes the contract or transaction.

In case  any  officer,  transfer  agent or  registrar  who has  signed  or whose

such officer,  transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it
may be issued by the  Corporation  with the same  effect as if he/she  were such
officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

Section 5.3 -     Lost Certificates

     The Board of Directors may direct a new  certificate  to be issued in place
of any certificate  theretofore  issued by the Corporation  alleged to have been

person claiming the certificate of shares to be lost, stolen or destroyed.  When
authorizing such issue of a new certificate,  the Board of Directors may, in its
discretion  and as a condition  precedent to the issuance  thereof,  require the
owner  of  such  lost,  stolen  or  destroyed  certificate,   or  his/her  legal
representative,  to advertise  the same in such manner as the Board of Directors
shall require and/or to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct

meeting.

such notice or document may be given by mail,  addressed to each such person, at
his/her  address as it appears on the records of the  Corporation,  with postage

director or shareholder did not receive the notice or document at the time or at
all.

paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the capital shares. Before payment of
any  dividend,  there  may be set  aside  out of any  funds  of the  Corporation
available for dividends  such sum or sums as the Board of Directors from time to
time, in its absolute discretion,  deems proper as a reserve or reserves to meet
contingencies,  or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any
property  of the  Corporation,  or for any  proper  purpose,  and the  Board  of
Directors may modify or abolish any such reserve.

                                    ARTICLE 8
                                 INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1 - Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings Other than Those By or in the Right of the
Corporation

     Subject  to  Section  8.3 of this  Article  8,  and the  provisions  of the
Business Corporations Act, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or
is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,  pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative  (other than an action by or in the right of the  Corporation)  by
reason  of  the  fact  that  he/she  is or  was a  director  or  officer  of the
Corporation,  or is or was a director or officer of the  Corporation  serving at
the request of the  Corporation  as a director or officer,  employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement  actually and  reasonably  incurred by him/her in
connection with such action,  suit or proceeding,  if he/she acted in good faith
and in a manner he/she  reasonably  believed to be in the best  interests of the
Corporation,  and,  with respect to any criminal  action or  proceeding,  had no
reasonable cause to believe his/her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction,  shall
not, of itself,  create a presumption  that the person did not act in good faith
and in a manner which he/she reasonably  believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the  Corporation  and, with respect to any criminal  action or
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his/her conduct was unlawful.

Section 8.2 - Power to Indemnify in Actions,  Suits or  Proceedings By or in the
     Right of the Corporation

     Subject  to  Section  8.3 of this  Article  8,  and the  provisions  of the
Business Corporations Act and with the approval of the Court of Queen's Bench of
Alberta,  the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened,  pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by
reason  of  the  fact  that  he/she  is or  was a  director  or  officer  of the
Corporation,  or is or was a director or officer of the  Corporation  serving at
the  request of the  Corporation  as a director,  officer,  employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other  enterprise  against  expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees) actually and
reasonably  incurred by him/her in connection  with the defense or settlement of
such  action  or suit if  he/she  acted in good  faith  and in a  manner  he/she
reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Corporation;  except that
no indemnification  shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such  person  shall have been  adjudged  to be liable  for  negligence  or
misconduct in the  performance  of his/her duty to the  Corporation,  unless and
only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine upon  application  that,  despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all the  circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

Section 8.3 - Authorization of Indemnification

     Any indemnification  under this Article 8 (unless ordered by a court) shall
be made by the  Corporation  only as  authorized  in the  specific  case  upon a
determination  that  indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the
circumstances  because  he/she has met the  applicable  standard  of conduct set
forth  in  Section  8.1 or  Section  8.2 of this  Article  8,  and the  Business
Corporations  Act, as the case may be. Such  determination  shall be made (i) by
the Board of Directors by a majority  vote of a quorum  consisting  of directors
who were not  parties  to such  action,  suit or  proceeding,  or (ii) if such a
quorum is not  obtainable,  or,  even if  obtainable  a quorum of  disinterested
directors so directs,  by  independent  legal counsel in a written  opinion,  or
(iii) by the shareholders. To the extent, however, that a director or officer of
the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter  therein,   he/she  shall  be  indemnified  against  expenses  (including
attorneys'  fees)  actually  and  reasonably  incurred by him/her in  connection
therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

     Any  determination  made by the  disinterested  directors or by independent
legal counsel under this section  shall be promptly  communicated  to the person
who  threatened  or  brought  the  action  or  suit  by or in the  right  of the
Corporation  under  Section 8.1 and 8.2 of this Article 8, and,  within ten days
after  receipt  of such  notification,  such  persons  shall  have the  right to
petition  the court (at  courts'  discretion)  in which such  action or suit was
brought to review the reasonableness of such determination.

Section 8.4 - Good Faith Defined

     For purposes of any  determination  under  Section 8.3 of this Article 8, a
person  shall be  deemed  to have  acted in good  faith  and in a manner  he/she
reasonably  believed  to be in or not  opposed  to  the  best  interests  of the
Corporation,  or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had
no reasonable  cause to believe his/her conduct was unlawful,  if his/her action
is based on the  records  or books of  account  of the  Corporation  or  another
enterprise,  or on  information  supplied  to  him/her  by the  officers  of the
Corporation  or  another  enterprise  in the course of their  duties,  or on the
advice  of  legal  counsel  for the  Corporation  or  another  enterprise  or on
information  or records  given or  reports  made to the  Corporation  or another
enterprise by an independent certified public accountant,  or by an appraiser or
other  expert  selected  with  reasonable  care by the  Corporation  or  another
enterprise. The term "another enterprise" as used in this Section 8.4 shall mean
any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan or other  enterprise  of which such person is or was serving at the request
of the Corporation as a director,  officer, employee or agent. The provisions of
this  Section 8.4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the
circumstances  in  which a  person  may be  deemed  to have  met the  applicable
standard of conduct set forth in Sections  8.1 or 8.2 of this  Article 8, as the
case may be.

Section 8.5 - Indemnification by a Court

     Notwithstanding  any  contrary  determination  in the  specific  case under
Section  8.3  of  this  Article  8,  and  notwithstanding  the  absence  of  any
determination  thereunder,  any  director  or officer  may apply to any court of
competent  jurisdiction  in the Province of Alberta for  indemnification  to the
extent otherwise  permissible  under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of this Article 8. The
basis of such  indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court
that  indemnification  of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances
because he/she has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Sections
8.1  or 8.2 of  this  Article  8,  as  the  case  may  be.  Neither  a  contrary
determination  in the specific  case under Section 8.3 of this Article 8 nor the
absence of any  determination  thereunder shall be a defense to such application
or create a presumption that the director or officer seeking indemnification has
not met any  applicable  standard  of  conduct.  Notice of any  application  for
indemnification  pursuant to this Section 8.5 shall be given to the  Corporation
promptly  upon the filing of such  application.  If  successful,  in whole or in
part, the director or officer seeking  indemnification shall also be entitled to
be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.

Section 8.6 - Expenses Payable in Advance

     Expenses  incurred by a director or officer in defending or investigating a
threatened  or  pending  action,  suit  or  proceeding  shall  be  paid  by  the
Corporation  in  advance  of the  final  disposition  of  such  action,  suit or
proceeding  upon receipt of an  undertaking  by or on behalf of such director or
officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he/she is
not entitled to be indemnified by the  Corporation as authorized in this Article
8.

Section 8.7 - Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses

     The  indemnification  and  advancement  of expenses  provided by or granted
pursuant to this Article 8 and the Business Corporations Act shall not be deemed
exclusive  of any  other  rights  to  which  those  seeking  indemnification  or
advancement  of expenses  may be  entitled  under any other  provision  of these
By-Laws,  or  similarly  entitled  under  any  agreement,   contract,   vote  of
shareholders or disinterested directors, or pursuant to the direction (howsoever
embodied) of any court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, both as to action
in his/her official  capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding
such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that  indemnification of the
persons specified in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of this Article 8 shall be made to the
fullest extent permitted by statute.  The provisions of this Article 8 shall not
be deemed to preclude the  indemnification of any person who is not specified in
Sections 8.1 or 8.2 of this Article 8, but whom the Corporation has the power or
obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the Business  Corporations  Act,
or otherwise.

Section 8.8 - Insurance

     The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person
who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation,  or is or was a director
or officer of the  Corporation  serving at the request of the  Corporation  as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,  partnership, joint
venture,  trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability
asserted  against  him/her  and  incurred  by him/her in any such  capacity,  or
arising out of his/her status as such, except where his or her liability relates
to his or her failure to act  honestly and in good faith with a view to the best
interests of the Corporation or another entity where he or she is or was serving
at the request of the Corporation.

Section 8.9 - Certain Definitions

     For  purposes of this  Article 8,  references  to "the  Corporation"  shall
include, in addition to the resulting corporation,  any constituent  corporation
(including  any  constituent of a constituent)  absorbed in a  consolidation  or
merger which, if its separate existence had continued,  would have had power and
authority to indemnify its  directors or officers,  so that any person who is or
was a  director  or  officer  of such  constituent  corporation,  or is or was a
director or officer of such  constituent  corporation  serving at the request of
such  constituent  corporation  as a  director,  officer,  employee  or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise,  shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this
Article 8 with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he/she would
have with respect to such constituent  corporation if its separate existence had
continued.  For purposes of this Article 8,  references to "fines" shall include
any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee  benefit plan;
and references to "serving at the request of the Corporation"  shall include any
service as a  director,  officer,  employee  or agent of the  Corporation  which
imposes  duties on, or  involves  services  by, such  director  or officer  with
respect to an employee  benefit plan, its participants or  beneficiaries;  and a
person who acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably  believed to be
in the best  interests  of the  participants  and  beneficiaries  of an employee
benefit  plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best
interests of the Corporation", as referred to in this Article 8.

Section 8.10 - Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.

     The  indemnification  and  advancement of expenses  provided by, or granted
pursuant to, this Article 8 shall,  unless otherwise provided when authorized or
ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and
shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,  executors and administrators of such a
person.

Section 8. 11 - Limitation on Indemnification

     Notwithstanding  anything  contained  in this  Article  8 to the  contrary,
except for  proceedings  to enforce  rights to  indemnification  (which shall be
governed by Section 8.5  hereof),  the  Corporation  shall not be  obligated  to
indemnify  any  director or officer in  connection  with a  proceeding  (or part
thereof)  initiated by such person unless such  proceeding (or part thereof) was
authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

     Subject to any  provision  imposed by the  Business  Corporations  Act, the
Corporation shall indemnify a director who was wholly  successful,  on merits or
otherwise, in the defense of any proceedings to which he/she was a party because
he/she was a director of the Corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by
him/her in connection with the proceeding.

Section 8.12 - Indemnification of Employees and Agents

     The  Corporation  may,  to the extent  authorized  from time to time by the
Board of Directors,  provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of
expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation,  similar to those conferred
in this Article 8 to directors and officers of the Corporation.


                                    ARTICLE 9
