Section 1 - Registrant's Business and Operations

Item 1.01     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

     As previously  reported on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 9, 2004,
Trans Energy, Inc. formalized the acquisition of Arvilla Oilfield Services, LLC,
a West Virginia limited liability  company,  by entering into a merger agreement
and  plan of  reorganization  dated  December  3,  2004  with our  wholly  owned
subsidiary Trans Energy Acquisitions,  Inc., Arvilla,  Inc., and the controlling
stockholders of Arvilla, Inc.

     Arvilla's  operations were previously  conducted as Arrow Oilfield  Service
Company,  a division of Belden & Blake  Corporation  ("B&B"),  a privately  held
company  engaged  in the  exploration,  development  and  production  of oil and
natural gas reserve.  In June 2004,  Clarence E. Smith and Rebecca L. Smith, the
controlling stockholders of Arvilla, Inc., acquired Arrow Oilfield Services from
B&B  and  created  Arvilla  Oilfield  Services,  LLC  as the  operating  entity.
Subsequently,  Mr. And Mrs.  Smith created  Arvilla,  Inc. that acquired all the
membership  interests of Arvilla  Oilfield  Services in order to facilitate  the
acquisition by Trans Energy.

     On November 29, 2004,  our board of directors  and  stockholders  holding a
majority of our  outstanding  common  stock  approved a one share for 150 shares
reverse split of our common stock. The reverse split was effected on January 28,
2005.

Section 2 - Financial Information

Item 2.01     Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     The merger  agreement was  finalized and closed on January 31, 2005.  Under
the terms of the agreement, the acquisition was accomplished through a merger of
our subsidiary,  Trans Energy  Acquisitions,  with and into Arvilla,  Inc., with
Arvilla being the survivor of the merger. As  consideration,  current holders of
Arvilla  capital stock  received  1,185,024  shares of  post-split  Trans Energy
common  stock.  These  shares were  distributed  as follows:  Clarence E. Smith,
531,437 shares; Rebecca L. Smith 531,437 shares and Howell B. Williams,  122,150
shares.  These shares will represent  approximately 25% of our total outstanding
shares (post-split) following the transaction,  including shares to be issued in
connection  with the  separate  acquisition  of assets from Texas  Energy  Trust
Company.  Arvilla will operate as a separate business entity 100% owned by Trans
Energy.

Business of Arvilla

     As a  result  of  the  merger  transaction,  we  have  assumed  all  of the
operations,  assets and liabilities of Arvilla Oilfield Services. In addition to
the new  business  of Arvilla  we will  continue  our  current  business  of the
transporting,  marketing  and  producing  natural  gas and oil and  engaging  in
certain limited exploration and development activities.

     Arvilla  is engaged in  providing  well  servicing,  workover  and  related
transportation  services to  independent  oil and natural gas  producers  in the
northeast region of the United States.  Arvilla performs ongoing maintenance and
major overhauls  necessary to optimize the level of production from existing oil
and  natural  gas wells and  provides  certain  ancillary  services  during  the
drilling  and  completion  of new wells.  Arvilla  offers its  services in Ohio,
Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia, Kentucky and West Virginia.

     Typically,  Arvilla will provide a well  servicing or swab rig, the crew to
operate the rig, and such other specialized equipment as may be needed to meet a
customer's requirements. Arvilla also owns a fleet of equipment that provides:

                                       -2-


          o brine hauling and disposal;
          o pipeline and facility construction;
          o well location preparation and lease road construction;
          o oil hauling; and
          o trucking of oilfield  equipment,  such as rigs, casings,
            tubing and rods.

     Arvilla's  operations were previously  conducted as Arrow Oilfield  Service
Company,  a division of Belden & Blake  Corporation  ("B&B"),  a privately  held
company  engaged  in the  exploration,  development  and  production  of oil and
natural gas reserve.  In June 2004,  Mr. and Mrs.  Smith acquired Arrow Oilfield
Services from B&B and created Arvilla  Oilfield  Services,  LLC as the operating
entity.  Mr. and Mrs. Smith then negotiated  with Trans Energy which  ultimately
led to  the  acquisition  of  Arvilla  by us and  the  execution  of the  merger
agreement and plan of reorganization.

     Arvilla's  principal  executive  offices are located at 7994 South Pleasant
Highway,  St. Marys,  West  Virginia  26170,  and its telephone  number is (304)
665-2652.

     Strategy

     Management believes that the Appalachian Basin in the northeastern  portion
of the United States  provides  significant  opportunities  for  exploration and
production  companies to develop  reserves at shallow  depths.  Because  Arvilla
operates in Ohio, Pennsylvania,  New York, Virginia, Kentucky and West Virginia,
we feel  that  Arvilla's  well  servicing  operations  are  well  positioned  to
capitalize  on existing  market  opportunities  and  established  demand for its
services.

     Arvilla's service area is located within 500 miles of the major gas markets
for the United  States.  This  strategic  location is  important  as oil and gas
companies   develop  natural  gas  reserves  for  future   markets.   Management
anticipates that demand for natural gas will grow  significantly in the next few
years and, as a result of the demand,  it is expected  that there to be a marked
increase in drilling  activity in the  Appalachian  Basin served by Arvilla.  As
drilling activity increases,  the need for the services provided by Arvilla will
increase.  Every well drilled  requires service of the type that Arvilla is able
to provide. As the drilling activities increase,  we expect demand for Arvilla's
services in its operation area to also increase.

     Services

     Through  its  experienced  work force,  Arvilla is able to provide  various
services to the oil and gas industry that include:

         Trucking  services.  Arvilla  owns a fleet of trucks  that can  provide
     customers with the ability to move equipment,  tanks, drill pipe, and other
     types of trucking needs necessary in the oil and gas business.  Each time a
     well is drilled,  all drilling  equipment  must be moved by trucks from one
     site to the next. This equipment  includes  generators,  water pumps, drill
     pipe, air compressors,  drilling rigs, and many other associated items used
     in drilling.

         Excavating equipment.  Arvilla provides dozer, excavators,  and loaders
     that are used to build access roads,  cut drill sites for wells,  dig pits,
     reclaim drill sites after drilling is completed,  reclaim access roads, and
     seed, fertilize, lime, and mulch disturbed areas.

         Service and swab rigs. Arvilla maintains a fleet of 14 service rigs and
     swab rigs  capable  of  servicing  wells up to 6,000  feet in  depth.  This
     service includes running pipe, tubing, rods, and swabbing capabilities. All
     wells drilled require services of this type.

                                       -3-


         Brine and water hauling.  Arvilla  provides a fleet of 20 vacuum trucks
     designed to deliver  water to drilling  rigs and fracs.  Arvilla also hauls
     and disposes of brine water from producing  wells and disposes of pit water
     used in well completions.

         Disposal wells.  Arvilla has 14 brine disposal wells located at various
     locations  in Ohio.  These wells are used for the disposal of brine and pit
     water.

         Oil  hauling.  Arvilla  maintains a fleet of 6 oil tankers that pick up
     oil from producers at the well site and delivers the oil to terminals, from
     which it is shipped to refineries.

         Pipelines. Arvilla has the capability of constructing pipelines for the
     delivery of natural gas or oil. Most wells drilled require  construction of
     a natural  gas line to  deliver  gas from the well to a  gathering  system,
     which will ultimately take the gas to market.

     Marketing

     Arvilla  markets its services  through its various office  locations.  Each
office has a designated  person who will market the services for that  offices's
given area. Currently,  the marketing is done from Canton, Ohio,  Pleasantville,
Pennsylvania and St. Marys,  West Virginia.  Arvilla  advertises its services in
oil and gas trade journals as well as direct verbal and written communication to
oil ad gas companies operating in the areas served by Arvilla. Arvilla will also
maintains  a web  site  that  will be  available  for  current  and  prospective
customers to review.  Brochures will also be prepared for distribution that will
explain those services available.

     Facilities

     Arvilla currently operates out of facilities located in or near its service
areas.  Arvilla's corporate headquarters are located in St. Marys, West Virginia
and consist of a leased 6,400 square foot shop and office facility.  This office
manages work in West  Virginia,  Virginia,  and Kentucky.  Arvilla owns a 20,000
square foot office and shop  located on 39 acres in Canton,  Ohio,  that manages
most of  Arvilla's  work in Ohio and some in Western  Pennsylvania.  This office
reports to the main office in St.  Marys.  West  Virginia.  Arvilla  also uses a
leased shop and office located in Cambridge,  Ohio that manages work in Southern
Ohio and reports to the Canton, Ohio office. Further, Arvilla maintains a leased
shop and office  located in  Pleasantville,  Pennsylvania  that  manages work in
Pennsylvania  and New York and  reports to the main  office in St.  Marys,  West
Virginia.

     Competition

     Arvilla is in direct  competition  with  numerous  other  oilfield  service
companies  that  operate in the same areas in which  Arvilla  operates.  Some of
Arvilla's  competitors include Bishop Well Services,  Key Energy,  Triad, Carper
Well Services,  Danny Long and S & H Water Service.  Some existing and potential
competitors  have  greater  financial  resources,  larger  market share and more
customers  than  Arvilla,   which  may  enable  them  to  establish  a  stronger
competitive  position than we have. There is also much competition for qualified
personnel  that operate the  equipment  used in the oilfield  service  business.
Management  believes  that  Arvilla can  successfully  compete  with these other
businesses in securing trained personnel and additional customers.
