 (before working capital adjustments) for the six months ended June 30, 1995, of $7.7 million, an improvement of 69% over the same period in 1994. The increase is the result of higher crude oil prices, higher oil production and the inclusion of the operations of Interstate in·ter·state

 and Laurel. The impact of these operations on production will be felt in the third quarter. The first half of 1995 capital expenditures were $12.3 million versus $7 million a year ago. Third quarter activity will be highlighted by the completion of a 16 square mile 3D seismic program which is being shot over the company's Martinville field.
