Section 1 - Registrant's Business and Operations

Item 1.01     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

     On September 10, 2004,  Trans Energy,  Inc. entered into a letter of intent
to acquire Arvilla Oilfield  Services,  LLC, , a West Virginia limited liability
company. The acquisition was formalize by executing on December 3, 2004 a merger
agreement and plan of reorganization by and among Trans Energy, 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.

     Under the terms of the agreement,  the  acquisition  is to be  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 will receive  approximately  1,185,024
shares of  post-split  Trans Energy common  stock.  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.

     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  effective  date of the split will be
established  by our board for a date prior to the  effective  date of the merger
agreement with Arvilla.  We presently  anticipate the split to occur on or about
January 13, 2005.

     We expect the  acquisition  of Arvilla to be effective on or about  January
14,  2004.  Following  the  merger  transaction,  we  will  assume  all  of  the
operations,  assets and  liabilities of Arvilla  Oilfield  Services.  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 and employs approximately 103 people.

     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 various oilfield equipment
and vehicles.
