ANNOUNCES MAJOR ACQUISITION      HOUSTON, TX~May 20, 1998 ARXA International Energy, Inc.

The OPMI acquisition      and exploitation agreement will serve as a blue print for deals in the immediate future to rapidly grow the      producing reserve and cash flow base of the company consistent with our short term corporate growth      strategy."      In addition to the acquisition announced today, ARXA also announced the opening of discussions with Reserve      Guaranty Corporation and Omega Fuels for new production acquisitions and development opportunities under      similar terms and conditions as the OPMI      agreement.
