                SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

In  this   prospectus   we  make  a  number  of   statements,   referred  to  as
"forward-looking  statements",  which are intended to convey our expectations or
predictions  regarding the occurrence of possible future events or the existence
of trends and factors  that may impact our future plans and  operating  results.
These forward-looking  statements are derived, in part, from various assumptions
and  analyses  we have made in the  context  of our  current  business  plan and
information  currently  available  to us and in  light  of  our  experience  and
perceptions  of  historical  trends,  current  conditions  and  expected  future
developments   and  other   factors  we  believe  to  be   appropriate   in  the
circumstances.  You can generally  identify  forward-looking  statements through
words and phrases such as "seek", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect",
"intend",  "plan", "budget",  "project",  "may be", "may continue",  "may likely
result", and similar expressions. When reading any forward looking statement you
should  remain  mindful  that  all  forward-looking  statements  are  inherently
uncertain as they are based on current  expectations and assumptions  concerning
future events or future  performance of our company,  and that actual results or
developments  may vary  substantially  from those  expected as  expressed  in or
implied by that  statement for a number of reasons or factors,  including  those
relating to:

o        whether  or not  markets  for  our  products  develop  and,  if they do
         develop, the pace at which they develop;

o        our ability to attract the qualified  personnel to implement our growth
         strategies,

o        our ability to develop sales, marketing and distribution capabilities;

o        the accuracy of our estimates and projections;

o        our ability to fund our short-term and long-term financing needs;

o        changes in our business plan and corporate strategies; and

o        other  risks  and  uncertainties  discussed  in  greater  detail in the
         sections of this  prospectus,  including those captioned "Risk Factors"
         and  "Management's  Discussion And Analysis Of Financial  Condition And
         Results Of Operations".

o        Each forward-looking statement should be read in context with, and with
         an  understanding  of, the various  other  disclosures  concerning  our
         company and our business made  elsewhere in this  prospectus as well as
         other  pubic  reports  filed  with the  United  States  Securities  and
         Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). You should not place undue reliance on
         any  forward-looking  statement  as a prediction  of actual  results or
         developments.   We  are  not   obligated   to  update  or  revise   any
         forward-looking  statement  contained in this prospectus to reflect new
         events or circumstances unless and to the extent required by applicable
         law.

Recent Developments

         Mercator Financing
         ------------------

On November 18, 2004, we completed a $5 million financing through the sale of 7%
Convertible Debentures ("Debentures").  The financing was completed in a private
placement with the Mercator  Advisory  Group and its related funds.  We received
the first $3,250,000  Dollars on November 19, 2004, and will receive the balance
of $1,750,000  Dollars on the day which is two days following our initial filing
of this registration statement.  The Debentures are convertible at any time into
shares of our common stock at 85% of the average of the lowest  three  inter-day
trading  prices of our common  stock  during the ten  consecutive  trading  days
immediately  preceding the conversion  date, with a maximum  conversion price of
$0.76 per share and a minimum  conversion  price of $0.45 per  share.  If we are
unable to have this registration statement declared effective within the 90 days
following  its filing with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (SEC) the
conversion  price  of the  Debentures  will be  reduced  from  85% to 75% of the
average  of  the  lowest  three  inter-day  trading  prices  of  our  common  as
specifically outlined above.

As part  of this  financing,  we  issued  three-year  warrants  to the  Mercator
Advisory Group and its related funds  entitling them to purchase an aggregate of
6,578,948 shares of our common stock,  half at $0.80 per share and half at $0.87
per share.  We also paid to Mercator  Advisory  Group  $200,000 as due diligence
fees  and  $15,000  as  reimbursement  of  legal  expenses.  

In connection with the financing,  we also paid $250,000 to KMR Capital, LLC, as
placement agent. KMR also received 450,000 warrants to purchase our common stock
exerciseable 200,000 shares at $0.80, 150,000 shares at $0.84 and 100,000 shares
at $0.87.

         Oneok Propane Acquisition
         -------------------------

On November 1, 2004,  through our subsidiary,  Sonterra Energy  Corporation,  we
entered  into  an  Asset   Purchase  and  Sale   Agreement  with  Oneok  Propane
Distribution   Company,   a  division  of  ONEOK  Propane  Company,  a  Delaware
corporation.   We  purchased  the  assets  of  this  division  for  Two  Million
($2,000,000).  The assets consist of propane distribution systems, including gas
mains, yard lines, meters and storage tanks,  serving the following  residential
subdivisions in the Austin, Texas area:

Austin's Colony Phase II
Costa Bella
Jacarandas
Lake Pointe
La Ventana
Lakewinds Estates
Northshore on Lake Travis Phase I
Riverbend
Rob Roy Rim
Senna Hills
Sterling Acres
The Point
The Preserve at Barton Creek

The propane  distribution  system is comprised of  approximately 25 miles of gas
main pipe, 75,000 feet of yard lines, 850 meters,  storage tanks with a combined
capacity of 156,000 gallons.


                                       3




On  November 1, 2004,  Sonterra  also  acquired  assets of BNC  Engineering  for
$250,000.  BNC Engineering  constructed  residential  propane  systems.  It also
provided  operating services for Oneok residential  propane systems.  The assets
consisted of machinery,  vehicles,  computer equipment,  construction equipment,
meters and an inventory of pipe and fittings for use in the  construction of gas
mains, service lines and other storage tanks. We assumed BNC Engineering's lease
obligations  for a field office mobile house and a photocopier  lease.  Sonterra
employed the field operating  personnel  associated with the residential propane
operations.

         ACH Financing Oneok Propane Acquisition
         ---------------------------------------

On October 13, 2004, we sold Four Million (4,000,000) Tidelands Oil & Gas common
shares to ACH Securities,  S.A., a company domiciled in Geneva, Switzerland, for
Two Million  ($2,000,000)  Dollars.  On October 14, 2004, in connection with the
ACH Securities  transaction,  we issued Margaux  Investment  Group,  S.A. common
stock  warrants to purchase One Million  (1,000,000)  Tidelands Oil & Gas common
shares for Fifty ($0.50) Cents per share and One Million  (1,000,000)shares  for
$2.50 per share.  We used the proceeds of the ACH  financing to fund  Sonterra's
purchase of the Oneok propane distribution business.

Use of Proceeds

We will not realize any of the proceeds  from the sale of the shares  offered by
the selling  stockholders.  See "Use of  Proceeds".  However,  may receive  cash
proceeds  from the  exercise  of common  stock  warrants  in the form of cash or
credit to outstanding financial obligations. Proceeds from the conversion of the
7%  Debentures  will  offset  all or a  portion  of the  Debenture  obligations.
Proceeds from the Impact International  warrants will reduce our promissory note
debt owed to Impact.  All other  uncommitted  proceeds  will be used for working
capital.

RISK FACTORS

An  investment  in the  Securities  offered in this  Prospectus  involves a high
degree of risk and  should  only be made by  persons  who can afford the loss of
their entire  investment.  Accordingly,  prospective  investors  should consider
carefully the following factors, in addition to the other information concerning
the Company and its business contained in this Prospectus, before purchasing the
Securities  offered  hereby.  An  investment  in the  common  stock the  selling
shareholders  are  offering  to resell is  risky.  You  should be able to bear a
complete loss of your investment. Before purchasing any of the common stock, you
should carefully consider the following risk factors, among others.

OPERATING LOSSES

We have had  significant  losses ever since  starting  business and we expect to
continue  losing  mon
ey for some time.  To date,  we have  incurred  significant
losses.  At September 30, 2004, our accumulated  deficit was $15,707,080 and our
working capital was $3,955,459.  For the year ended December 31, 2002, we lost $
4,060,772 and for the year ended  December 31, 2003, we lost  $1,348,481.  These
losses were caused primarily by:

o        Pre-operating   expenses  for  the   development   period   leading  to
         commencement of operations of the  international  pipeline  crossing at
         Eagle  Pass;  
o        Limited volumes of gas transported  through the international  pipeline
         crossing
o        Pre-development  and operating expenses associated with the development
         of additional pipeline and storage projects in Mexico;
o        Idle assets not producing revenue, such as the gas plant and associated
         pipeline.

LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY.

We have a limited  operating history and our financial health will be subject to
all the risks inherent in the  establishment of a new business  enterprise.  The
likelihood  of success of our  company  must be  considered  in the light of the
problems,   expenses,   difficulties,   complications,   and  delays  frequently
encountered in connection with the startup and growth of a new business, and the
competitive  environment in which we will operate. Our success is dependent upon
the successful  financing and  development of our business plan. No assurance of
success is offered.  Unanticipated problems, expenses, and delays are frequently
encountered  in  establishing  a  new  business  and  marketing  and  developing
products.  These  include,  but are not  limited  to,  competition,  the need to
develop customers and market expertise, market conditions,  sales, marketing and
governmental  regulation.  The  failure  of the  Company  to meet  any of  these
conditions would have a materially adverse effect upon the Company and may force
the Company to reduce or curtail operations.  No assurance can be given that the
Company can or will ever operate profitably.

WE DEPEND HEAVILY ON THE CONTINUED SERVICE OF OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER.

We place  substantial  reliance  upon the efforts and abilities of Michael Ward,
our chief  executive  officer.  The loss of Mr.  Ward's  services  could  have a
serious adverse effect on our business,  operations,  revenues or prospects.  We
maintain key man insurance on his life in the amount of One Million Dollars.



                                       5


RELIANCE ON MANAGEMENT.

All decisions  with respect to the management of our Company will be made by our
Company's  directors and officers.  Accordingly,  no person should  purchase any
shares  offered by this  Prospectus  unless the subscriber is willing to entrust
all aspects of management to the Directors and Officers of our Company. The loss
of their services could have a material adverse effect on our Company's business
and prospects.

TRADING IN OUR COMMON STOCK ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD MAY BE LIMITED.

Our common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board. The OTC Bulletin Board is not
an  exchange.  Trading of  securities  on the OTC  Bulletin  Board is often more
sporadic than the trading of securities listed on an exchange or NASDAQ. You may
have  difficulty  reselling any of the shares that you purchase from the selling
shareholders.

THERE HAS BEEN AN VOLATILE  PUBLIC  MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND THE PRICE OF
OUR STOCK MAY BE SUBJECT TO FLUCTUATIONS.

We cannot  assure you that a liquid  transparent  trading  market for our common
stock will develop or be sustained. You may not be able to resell your shares at
or above the initial  offering  price.  The market  price of our common stock is
likely to be  volatile  and could be  subject to  fluctuations  in  response  to
factors such as the following, most of which are beyond our control:

o        operating  results  that  vary  from  the  expectations  of  securities
         analysts and investors;
o        changes  in  expectations  as  to  our  future  financial  performance,
         including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors;
o        the  operations,  regulatory,  market and other risks discussed in this
         section;
o        announcements  by us  or  our  competitors  of  significant  contracts,
         acquisitions,   strategic  partnerships,   joint  ventures  or  capital
         commitments;
o        announcements  by third parties of  significant  claims or  proceedings
         against us; and
o        future sales of our common stock.

In addition,  the market for our stock has from time to time experienced extreme
price and volume  fluctuations.  These broad market  fluctuations  may adversely
affect the market price of our common stock

OUR COMMON STOCK IS SUBJECT TO PENNY STOCK REGULATION.

Our common  stock is subject  to  regulations  of the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  relating to the market for penny stocks. The Securities  Enforcement
and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 (the "Reform Act") also  requires  additional
disclosure in connection  with any trades  involving a stock defined as a "penny
stock" (generally,  according to recent  regulations  adopted by the Commission,
any  equity  security  that has a market  price of less than  $5.00  per  share,
subject to certain exceptions), including the delivery, prior to any penny stock
transaction,  of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the
risks associated therewith.  These regulations generally require  broker-dealers
who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited
investors to deliver a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and
the risks  associated with that market.  These  regulations  also impose various
sales practice  requirements on  broker-dealers.  The regulations  that apply to
penny stocks may severely  affect the market  liquidity for our  securities  and
that could limit your ability to sell your securities in the secondary market.

RISKS RELATING TO LOW-PRICE STOCKS.

Because  our  stock is  quoted  on the NASD OTC  Electronic  Bulletin  Board and
subject to the Penny Stock  Regulations,  an investor  may find it  difficult to
dispose  of, or to obtain  accurate  quotations  as to the market  value of, our
Company's securities. The regulations governing low-priced or penny stocks could
limit the ability of  broker-dealers  to sell the Company's  securities and thus
the ability of the  purchasers of this Offering to sell their  securities in the
secondary market.

THE EXERCISE OF WARRANTS AND THE CONVERSION OF THE DEBENTURES  COULD DEPRESS OUR
STOCK PRICE AND REDUCE YOUR PERCENTAGE OF OWNERSHIP.

If all of the  Warrants are  exercised  and  Debentures  converted at the "Floor
Price"  and  assuming  that we  issue a total  of  28,190,059  will  dilute  the
percentage ownership of our other shareholders.  The "Description of Securities"
section of this prospectus provides you with more information about the Warrants
and Debentures.




                                       6


WE MAY NOT HAVE ENOUGH FUNDING TO COMPLETE OUR BUSINESS PLAN.

We will need  additional  financing to fully  implement  our business  plan.  We
cannot give any assurance that this  additional  financing  could be obtained on
attractive  terms or at all. In addition,  our ability to raise additional funds
through  a private  placement  may be  restricted  by SEC  rules  which  limit a
company's ability to sell securities similar to those being sold in a registered
offering  before the time that  offering is completed  or otherwise  terminated.
Additionally,  we may not have a sufficient  quantity of common stock capital if
all of the warrants are exercised  and  debentures  converted.  We would have to
amend our articles of  incorporation  and increase our  authorized  common stock
capital.  Lack of funding could force us to curtail  substantially  or cease our
operations.

FUTURE CAPITAL NEEDS COULD RESULT IN DILUTION TO INVESTORS; ADDITIONAL FINANCING
COULD BE UNAVAILABLE OR HAVE UNFAVORABLE TERMS.

Our Company's future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including
cash flow from  operations,  progress in its gas  operations,  competing  market
developments,  and  the  Company's  ability  to  market  its  proposed  products
successfully. Although the Company currently has specific plans and arrangements
for  financing  its  working  capital  is  presently  insufficient  to fund  the
Company's  activities.  It may be necessary to raise  additional  funds  through
equity or debt financings. Any equity financings could result in dilution to our
Company's  then-existing  stockholders.  Sources of debt financing may result in
higher  interest  expense.  Any  financing,  if  available,   may  be  on  terms
unfavorable to the Company. If adequate funds are not obtained,  the Company may
be required to reduce or curtail  operations.  The Company  anticipates that its
existing capital  resources,  will be adequate to satisfy its operating expenses
and  capital  requirements  for at  least  6  months  after  the  date  of  this
Prospectus. However, such estimates may prove to be inaccurate.

SUBSTANTIAL CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

We may make substantial  capital  expenditures for the development,  acquisition
and  production  of natural gas  pipeline ,  processing  systems and, or storage
facilities.  We believe that the Company will have  sufficient  cash provided by
operating  activities and equity financing to fund planned capital  expenditures
in the near future  excluding  the  proposed  Burgos Basin  storage  facility in
Mexico.  If revenues or the Company's equity  financing  decrease as a result of
lower natural gas prices,  operating difficulties,  the Company may have limited
ability to expend the capital  necessary to undertake or complete proposed plans
and  opportunities.  There can be no assurance  that  additional  debt or equity
financing  or cash  generated  by  operations  will be  available  to meet these
requirements.

WE CAN GIVE NO ASSURANCE REGARDING THE AMOUNTS OF CASH THAT WE WILL GENERATE.

The  actual  amounts of cash we  generate  will  depend  upon  numerous  factors
relating to our business which may be beyond our control, including:

o        the demand for natural gas;
o        profitability of operations;
o        required principal and interest payments on any debt we may incur;
o        the cost of acquisitions;
o        our issuance of equity securities;
o        fluctuations in working capital;
o        capital expenditures;
o        continued development of gas transportation network systems;
o        prevailing economic conditions;
o        government regulations.

WE DO NOT EXPECT TO PAY DIVIDENDS FOR SOME TIME, IF AT ALL.

No cash dividends have been paid on the Common Stock.  We expect that any income
received from operations will be devoted to our future operations and growth. We
do not expect to pay cash  dividends  in the near  future.  Payment of dividends
would  depend  upon our  profitability  at the time,  cash  available  for those
dividends, and other factors.

COMPETITION

Our Company  will be competing  with other  established  businesses  that market
similar  products.  Many of these companies have greater capital,  marketing and
other resources than we do. There can be no assurance that these or other



                                       7


companies  will not develop new or enhanced  products  that have greater  market
acceptance  than  any that  may be  marketed  by the  Company.  There  can be no
assurance  that our  Company  will  successfully  differentiate  itself from its
competitors  or that the market will  consider our products to be superior or to
or more appealing than those of our competitors. Market entry by any significant
competitor  may have an  adverse  effect  on our sales  and  profitability.  See
"Competition."

WE  OPERATE  IN  HIGHLY  COMPETITIVE  MARKETS  IN  COMPETITION  WITH A NUMBER OF
DIFFERENT COMPANIES.

We  face  strong  competition  in  our  geographic  areas  of  operations.   Our
competitors  include major  integrated oil companies,  interstate and intrastate
pipelines.  We compete with integrated companies that have greater access to raw
natural gas supply and are less  susceptible to fluctuations in price or volume,
and some of our competitors  that have greater  financial  resources may have an
advantage in competing for acquisitions or other new business opportunities.

GROWING OUR BUSINESS BY  CONSTRUCTING  NEW PIPELINES AND  PROCESSING  FACILITIES
SUBJECTS US TO  CONSTRUCTION  RISKS AND RISKS THAT RAW NATURAL GAS SUPPLIES WILL
NOT BE AVAILABLE UPON COMPLETION OF THE FACILITIES.

One of the ways we intend to grow our  business is through the  construction  of
additions to our existing  gathering  systems,  modification of our existing gas
processing plant and construction of new processing facilities. The construction
of gathering and processing  facilities  requires the expenditure of significant
amounts of capital,  which may exceed our expectations.  Generally,  we may have
only limited raw natural gas supplies  committed  to these  facilities  prior to
their construction. Moreover, we may construct facilities to capture anticipated
future growth in production in a region in which  anticipated  production growth
does not materialize. As a result, there is the risk that new facilities may not
be able to attract  enough raw natural gas to achieve  our  expected  investment
return,  which could  adversely  affect our results of operations  and financial
condition.

A SIGNIFICANT  COMPONENT OF OUR GROWTH STRATEGY WILL BE ACQUISITIONS  AND WE MAY
NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLETE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS SUCCESSFULLY.

Our business strategy will emphasize growth through strategic acquisitions,  but
we cannot  assure  you that we will be able to  identify  attractive  or willing
acquisition  candidates or that we will be able to acquire  these  candidates on
economically acceptable terms. Competition for acquisition  opportunities in our
industry  exists and may increase.  Any increase in the level of competition for
acquisitions  may increase the cost of, or cause us to refrain from,  completing
acquisitions.

Our strategy of acquisitions is dependent upon, among other things,  our ability
to obtain debt and equity  financing  and  possible  regulatory  approvals.  Our
ability to pursue  our growth  strategy  may be  hindered  if we are not able to
obtain  financing or  regulatory  approvals,  including  those under federal and
state antitrust laws. Our ability to grow through  acquisitions  and manage such
growth will require us to to invest in  operational,  financial  and  management
information systems and to attract,  retain, motivate and effectively manage our
employees.  The inability to manage the integration of acquisitions  effectively
could have a material  adverse  effect on our  financial  condition,  results of
operations  and  business.  Pursuit of our  acquisition  strategy  may cause our
financial  position and results of  operations to fluctuate  significantly  from
period to period.

IF WE  ARE  UNABLE  TO  MAKE  ACQUISITIONS  ON  ECONOMICALLY  AND  OPERATIONALLY
ACCEPTABLE TERMS, OUR FUTURE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MAY BE LIMITED.

There can be no assurance that:

o        we will identify attractive acquisition candidates in the future;
o        we will be able to acquire assets on economically acceptable terms;
o        any  acquisitions  will  not be  dilutive  to  earnings  and  operating
         surplus; or
o        any debt incurred to finance an acquisition will not affect our ability
         to make distributions to you.

If we  are  unable  to  make  acquisitions  on  economically  and  operationally
acceptable  terms,  our  future  financial  performance  will be  limited to the
performance of our present gas gathering network.

Our acquisition strategy involves many risks, including:

o        difficulties inherent in the integration of operations and systems;



                                       8


o        the diversion of management's  attention from other business  concerns;
         and
o        the potential loss of key employees of acquired businesses.

In addition, future acquisitions may involve significant expenditures. Depending
upon the nature, size and timing of future  acquisitions,  we may be required to
secure  financing.  We  cannot  assure  you that  additional  financing  will be
available to us on acceptable terms.

OUR  BUSINESS IS  DEPENDENT  UPON  PRICES AND MARKET  DEMAND FOR NATURAL GAS AND
PROPANE, WHICH ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL AND HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY VOLATILE.

We are subject to significant  risks due to  fluctuations  in commodity  prices,
primarily  with  respect to the prices of gas that we may own as a result of our
processing and distribution activities.

The markets and prices for residue gas depend upon  factors  beyond our control.
These factors  include  demand for oil, and natural gas,  which  fluctuate  with
changes in market and economic conditions and other factors, including:

o the impact of weather  on the demand for oil and  natural  gas; o the level of
domestic oil and natural gas production;  o the availability of imported oil and
natural  gas;  o  the   availability   of  local,   intrastate   and  interstate
transportation systems; o the availability and marketing of competitive fuels; o
the impact of energy  conservation  efforts;  and o the  extent of  governmental
regulation and taxation.

WE GENERALLY DO NOT OWN THE LAND ON WHICH OUR PIPELINES ARE  CONSTRUCTED  AND WE
ARE SUBJECT TO THE POSSIBILITY OF INCREASED COSTS FOR THE LOSS OF LAND USE.

We  generally  do not own the  land on  which  our  pipelines  are  constructed.
Instead,  we obtain the right to  construct  and operate the  pipelines on other
people's  land  for a period  of  time.  If we were to lose  these  rights,  our
business could be affected negatively.

RISKS RELATED TO THE RETAIL PROPANE AND ASSOCIATED BUSINESSES

o        Decreases  in the demand for  propane  because  of warmer  weather  may
         adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

o        Weather  conditions have a significant impact on the demand for propane
         for heating  purposes.  All of our propane  customers  rely  heavily on
         propane as a heating fuel. The volume of propane sold is at its highest
         during the six-month peak heating  season of October  through March and
         is directly affected by the severity of the winter weather. We estimate
         that approximately  two-thirds of our annual retail propane volume will
         be sold  during  these  months.  Actual  weather  conditions  can  vary
         substantially  from quarter to quarter and year to year,  significantly
         affecting our financial  performance.  Furthermore,  warmer than normal
         temperatures in our service area can  significantly  decrease the total
         volume of propane we sell. Consequently, our operating results may vary
         significantly due to actual changes in temperature.  Weather conditions
         in any  quarter  or year  may have a  material  adverse  effect  on our
         operations.

o        Sudden and sharp  propane price  increases  that cannot be passed on to
         customers may adversely affect our profits, income, and cash flow.

o        Energy  efficiency and technology may reduce the demand for propane and
         our revenues.

o        The national  trend toward  increased  conservation  and  technological
         advances,   including  installation  of  improved  insulation  and  the
         development of more efficient  furnaces and other heating devices,  has
         adversely  affected the demand for propane by retail customers.  Future
         conservation  and  efficiency  measures  or  technological  advances in
         heating, conservation, energy generation, or other devices might reduce
         demand for propane and our revenues.

o        The   propane   business   is  highly   regulated.   New  or   stricter
         environmental, health, or safety regulations may increase our operating
         costs and reduce our net income.


                                       9


o        The propane business is subject to a wide range of federal,  state, and
         local  environmental,   transportation,  health  and  safety  laws  and
         regulations governing the storage,  distribution, and transportation of
         propane.  We may  have  increased  costs  in the  future  due to new or
         stricter safety, health, transportation,  and environmental regulations
         or liabilities  resulting from  non-compliance  with operating or other
         regulatory  permits.  The increase in any such costs may reduce our net
         income.

o        We  will  be  subject  to all  operating  hazards  and  risks  normally
         associated  with  handling,  storing,   transporting,   and  delivering
         combustible liquids such as propane for use by consumers.  As a result,
         we may be a  defendant  in various  legal  proceedings  and  litigation
         arising in the ordinary  course of business.  Our  insurance may not be
         adequate to protect us from all material  expenses related to potential
         future claims for personal injury and property damage or that insurance
         will be available in the future at economical prices. In addition,  the
         occurrence of a serious accident,  whether or not we are involved,  may
         have an adverse effect on the public's desire to use our products.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Our  business  is  regulated  by  certain  local,  state  and  federal  laws and
regulations  relating to the exploration for, and the  development,  production,
marketing,  pricing,  transportation and storage of, natural gas and oil. We are
also  subject to  extensive  and  changing  environmental  and  safety  laws and
regulations governing plugging and abandonment,  the discharge of materials into
the environment or otherwise relating to environmental  protection. In addition,
we are  subject to  changing  and  extensive  tax laws,  and the effect of newly
enacted  tax  laws  cannot  be  predicted.  The  implementation  of new,  or the
modification of existing,  laws or regulations,  including regulations which may
be  promulgated  under the Oil  Pollution  Act of 1990,  could  have a  material
adverse effect on the Company.

FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL REGULATORY MEASURES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.

While the Federal  Energy  Regulatory  Commission,  or FERC,  does not  directly
regulate the major portions of our operations,  federal regulation,  directly or
indirectly,  influences  certain  aspects of our business and the market for our
products.  As a raw natural  gas  gatherer  and not an  operator  of  interstate
transmission  pipelines,  we generally are exempt from FERC regulation under the
Natural Gas Act of 1938, but FERC  regulation  still  significantly  affects our
business.  In recent  years,  FERC has pursued  pro-competition  policies in its
regulation of interstate  natural gas pipelines.  However,  we cannot assure you
that FERC will continue this approach as it considers  proposals by pipelines to
allow  negotiated  rates  not  limited  by rate  ceilings,  pipeline  rate  case
proposals  and  revisions to rules and policies that may affect rights of access
to natural gas transportation capacity.

While state public utility  commissions do not regulate our business,  state and
local  regulations  do affect our  business.  We are subject to ratable take and
common purchaser statutes in the states where we operate.  Ratable take statutes
generally require gatherers to take, without undue  discrimination,  natural gas
production that may be tendered to the gatherer for handling.  Similarly, common
purchaser  statutes  generally  require  gatherers  to  purchase  without  undue
discrimination  as to source of supply or producer.  These statutes are designed
to prohibit discrimination in favor of one producer over another producer or one
source of supply over another  source of supply.  These  statutes  also have the
effect of  restricting  our right as an owner of gathering  facilities to decide
with whom we contract to purchase or transport  natural gas.  Federal law leaves
any economic  regulation of raw natural gas gathering to the states, and some of
the states in which we operate have  adopted  complaint-based  or other  limited
economic regulation of raw natural gas gathering activities.  States in which we
operate  that  have  adopted  some  form  of  complaint-based  regulation,  like
Oklahoma,  Kansas and Texas,  generally allow natural gas producers and shippers
to file  complaints  with state  regulators  in an effort to resolve  grievances
relating to natural gas gathering access and rate discrimination.  The states in
which we conduct  operations  administer federal pipeline safety standards under
the Pipeline Safety Act of 1968, and the "rural gathering  exemption" under that
statute that our gathering  facilities  currently enjoy may be restricted in the
future.  The "rural  gathering  exemption" under the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety
Act of 1968 presently exempts substantial  portions of our gathering  facilities
from jurisdiction  under that statute,  including those portions located outside
of cities, towns, or any area designated as residential or commercial, such as a
subdivision or shopping center.

OUR BUSINESS  INVOLVES  HAZARDOUS  SUBSTANCES  AND MAY BE ADVERSELY  AFFECTED BY
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION.

Many of the operations and activities of our gathering systems, plants and other
facilities are subject to  significant  federal,  state and local  environmental
laws and  regulations.  These include,  for example,  laws and regulations  that




                                       10


impose  obligations  related to air  emissions  and discharge of wastes from our
facilities and the cleanup of hazardous  substances  that may have been released
at properties  currently or  previously  owned or operated by us or locations to
which we have sent wastes for disposal.  Various  governmental  authorities have
the power to enforce  compliance  with these  regulations and the permits issued
under them,  and  violators  are subject to  administrative,  civil and criminal
penalties, including civil fines, injunctions or both. Liability may be incurred
without  regard to fault for the  remediation  of  contaminated  areas.  Private
parties,  including the owners of properties through which our gathering systems
pass,  may also have the right to pursue legal actions to enforce  compliance as
well  as  to  seek  damages  for  non-compliance  with  environmental  laws  and
regulations or for personal injury or property damage.

There is inherent risk of the incurrence of environmental  costs and liabilities
in our business due to our handling of natural gas and other petroleum products,
air emissions related to our operations,  historical industry operations,  waste
disposal  practices  and the prior use of  natural  gas flow  meters  containing
mercury. In addition,  the possibility exists that stricter laws, regulations or
enforcement  policies could significantly  increase our compliance costs and the
cost of any remediation that may become necessary.  We cannot assure you that we
will not incur material  environmental  costs and liabilities.  Furthermore,  we
cannot assure you that our  insurance  will provide  sufficient  coverage in the
event an environmental claim is made against us.

Our  business  may be  adversely  affected  by  increased  costs due to stricter
pollution control requirements or liabilities resulting from non-compliance with
required operating or other regulatory  permits.  New environmental  regulations
might  adversely  affect our  products  and  activities,  including  processing,
storage  and  transportation,  as well as waste  management  and air  emissions.
Federal and state agencies also could impose additional safety requirements, any
of which could affect our profitability.

RISK OF ADDITIONAL  COSTS AND LIABILITIES  RELATED TO  ENVIRONMENTAL  AND SAFETY
REGULATIONS AND CLAIMS

Our  pipeline  operations  are  subject  to  various  federal,  state  and local
environmental,  safety,  health and other laws,  which can  increase the cost of
planning,  designing,  installing and operating such facilities. There can be no
assurance that costs and liabilities relating to compliance will not be incurred
in the  future.  Moreover,  it is  possible  that  other  developments,  such as
increasingly strict  environmental and safety laws,  regulations and enforcement
policies  thereunder,  and claims for damages to  property or persons  resulting
from our operations, could result in additional costs to and liabilities for us.

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION OF OUR PIPELINES COULD INCREASE OUR OPERATING COSTS

Currently our  operations  involving the gathering of natural gas from wells are
exempt from  regulation  under the Natural Gas Act.  Section 1(b) of the Natural
Gas Act provides  that the  provisions  of the Act shall not apply to facilities
used for the production or gathering of natural gas. Our physical dimensions and
operations  support  the  conclusion  that our  facilities  perform  primarily a
gathering  function.  We should  not,  therefore,  be subject to Natural Gas Act
regulation.  There, however, can be no assurance that this will remain the case.
The Federal Energy Regulatory  Commission's oversight of entities subject to the
Natural Gas Act includes  the  regulation  of rates,  entry and exit of service,
acquisition,  construction  and  abandonment  of  transmission  facilities,  and
accounting for regulatory  purposes.  The implementation of new laws or policies
that would subject us to regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory  Commission
under the Natural Gas Act could have a material  adverse effect on our financial
condition and operations.  Similarly,  changes in the method or circumstances of
operation, or in the configuration of facilities, could result in changes in our
regulatory status. Our gas gathering operations are subject to regulation at the
state level,  which  increases the costs of operating  our pipeline  facilities.
Matters subject to regulation  include rates,  service and safety.  We have been
granted an exemption from  regulation as a public  utility in Texas.  Presently,
our rates are not  regulated  in Texas .  Changes in state  regulations,  or our
status under these  regulations  due to  configuration  changes in our operating
facilities,  that subject us to further regulation could have a material adverse
effect  on  our  financial  condition.  Litigation  or  governmental  regulation
relating  to  environmental  protection  and  operational  safety  may result in
substantial costs and liabilities

Our operations are subject to federal and state  environmental  laws under which
owners of natural gas  pipelines  can be liable for clean-up  costs and fines in
connection with any pollution caused by the pipelines. We can also be liable for
clean-up costs resulting from pollution which occurred before our acquisition of
the gathering systems.  In addition,  we are subject to federal and state safety
laws that  dictate  the type of  pipeline,  quality of pipe  protection,  depth,
methods of welding and other  construction-related  standards.  While we believe
that the gathering systems comply in all material respects with applicable laws,
we  cannot  assure  you that  future  events  will not occur for which we may be
liable.  Possible future  developments,  including  stricter laws or enforcement
policies,  or  claims  for  personal  or  property  damages  resulting  from our
operations could result in substantial costs and liabilities to us.

                                       11


SOVEREIGN RISK

The Company is focusing on the development of  infrastructure  projects  through
its Mexican  entity,  Terranova  Energia S.de R.L. de C.V., in the nation of the
United Mexican States  (Mexico).  The risk of indirect or regulatory  actions by
local, state or federal  authorities in Mexico which may inhibit,  delay, hinder
or block projects under  development in Mexico is very high given the history of
operations  conducted by past businesses other than the Company in Mexico. There
is a  substantial  risk that a set of actions taken by commission or omission by
the various actors in the public, private, nongovernmental and/or social sectors
could  negatively  impact a project or  investment  in Mexico.  The legal system
employed in Mexico is  dramatically  different  in its  structure  and method of
operation  compared to the common law foundation present in the United States of
America.  The level of legal protection afforded investors by the North American
Free Trade  Agreement  has not  materially  improved  from a foreign  investor's
viewpoint.

There can be no assurance that a  commercially  viable project will be completed
due to the above factors which could result in commercial  competitors trying to
circumvent  the  market  system  through  the   exploitation  of   undocumented,
extraofficial channels of influence that constitute unfair competition. Federal,
state and local  authorities are not well coordinated in their legal protections
and improper influence and competition may arise from any level of government to
disrupt or destroy the commercial viability of investments by foreign investors.
While the  Company has taken  precautions  to limit its  investments  to prudent
levels,  there is a continuing risk of adverse activities arising from the above
sources  that  could  impair or  result  in the  entire  loss of  investment  in
otherwise commercially viable projects initiated by the Company in Mexico.

PIPELINE  SYSTEM  OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO  OPERATIONAL  HAZARDS AND UNFORESEEN
INTERRUPTIONS

The  operations  of our pipeline  systems are subject to hazards and  unforeseen
interruptions,  including natural disasters, adverse weather, accidents or other
events,  beyond our control.  A casualty  occurrence  might result in injury and
extensive  property  or  environmental  damage.  Although  we intend to maintain
customary insurance coverages for gathering systems of similar capacity,  we can
offer no assurance that these coverages will be sufficient for any casualty loss
we may incur.

OPERATING RISKS OF NATURAL GAS  OPERATIONS

The natural gas business involves certain operating hazards. The availability of
a ready  market for our natural gas products  also  depends on the  proximity of
reserves to, and the capacity of, natural gas gathering  systems,  pipelines and
trucking or terminal facilities.  As a result,  substantial liabilities to third
parties or  governmental  entities may be  incurred,  the payment of which could
reduce  or  eliminate  the  funds  available  for  exploration,  development  or
acquisitions  or result in the loss of the Company's  properties.  In accordance
with customary industry practices, the Company maintains insurance against some,
but not all,  of such risks and  losses.  The  Company  does not carry  business
interruption  insurance.  The  occurrence  of such an event not fully covered by
insurance  could have a material  adverse effect on the financial  condition and
results of operations of the Company.

OUR BUSINESS INVOLVES MANY HAZARDS AND OPERATIONAL  RISKS, SOME OF WHICH MAY NOT
BE COVERED BY INSURANCE.

Our  operations  are  subject to the many  hazards  inherent  in the  gathering,
compressing,  treating and processing of raw natural gas and NGLs and storage of
residue gas,  including  ruptures,  leaks and fires. These risks could result in
substantial  losses due to personal injury and/or loss of life, severe damage to
and  destruction of property and equipment and pollution or other  environmental
damage and may result in curtailment or suspension of our related operations. We
are  not  fully  insured  against  all  risks  incident  to our  business.  If a
significant  accident  or  event  occurs  that is not  fully  insured,  it could
adversely affect our operations and financial condition.

INSURANCE

Companies  engaged in the petroleum  products  distribution and storage business
may be sued for  substantial  damages  in the  event  of an  actual  or  alleged
accident or environmental  contamination.  The Company  maintains  $2,000,000 of
liability insurance.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue
to maintain  liability  insurance at a reasonable cost in the future,  or that a
potential  liability will not exceed the coverage  limits.  Nor can there be any
assurance  that the amount of insurance  carried by us will enable it to satisfy
any claims for which it might be held liable  resulting  from the conduct of its
business operations.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not  receive  any  proceeds  from the sale of the shares by the  selling
shareholders.  However,  we may  receive  proceeds  from the sale to (1)  Impact
International,  LLC, (2) the Mercator Group of Funds, and (3) Margaux Investment
Management  Group,  S.A. of common  stock shares  issuable  upon the exercise of
warrants.  We intend to use the proceeds from the exercise of warrants by Impact
for  reduction of the principal  balance of our  financial  obligation to Impact
under the terms of the Promissory  Note. If all of the warrants were  exercised,
the Debentures  converted at the Floor Price and promissory  notes paid in full,
we could realize $16,340,921 Dollars.

We will pay all the expenses incident to this  registration.  We plan to use any
net proceeds  received  upon the exercise of the warrants for general  corporate
purposes.

On December 13,  2004,  the closing bid and closing ask prices for shares of our
common  stock in the  over-the-counter  market,  as reported by NASD OTC BB were
$0.65 and $0.69 per share, respectively.

We believe that there are presently 39 market makers for our common stock.  When
stock is traded in the public market,  characteristics  of depth,  liquidity and
orderliness of the market may depend upon the existence of market makers as well
as the presence of willing buyers and sellers.  We do not know if these or other
market makers will continue to make a market in our common stock.  Further,  the
trading  volume in our common  stock has  historically  been both  sporadic  and
light.

As of November 30, 2004,  we had an  aggregate of 86  stockholders  of record as
reported by our transfer  agent,  Signature  Stock  Transfer Co.,  Inc.  Certain
shares  are held in the  "street"  names of  securities  broker  dealers  and we
estimate the number of stockholders  which may be represented by such securities
broker dealer accounts may exceed 1,500.

Dividends and Dividend Policy

There are no  restrictions  imposed on the  Company  which  limit its ability to
declare  or pay  dividends  on its  common  stock,  except as  limited  by state
corporation  law.  During the year ended  December  31,  2003,  no cash or stock
dividends  were  declared  or  paid  and  none  are  expected  to be paid in the
foreseeable future.

We expect to continue to retain all earnings  generated by our future operations

                                    BUSINESS
Business Overview

Tidelands  Oil  &  Gas  Corporation  (the  "Company"),   formerly  known  as  C2
Technologies,  Inc., was  incorporated  under the laws of the State of Nevada on
February 25, 1997. C2 Technologies, Inc. changed its name to Tidelands Oil & Gas
Corporation  on November 19, 1998.  The Company has nine  subsidiaries  which it
directly and  indirectly  owns as follows:  (1) Rio Bravo Energy LLC, (2) Sonora
Pipeline  LLC, (3) Arrecefe  Management  LLC, (4) Marea  Associates,  L.P. , (5)
Terranova  Energia,  S.de R.L. de C.V. and (6) Sonterra Energy  Corporation.  We
also owns a 97% limited partnership interest in Reef Ventures, L.P.(7). Arrecefe
Management LLC owns a 1% general  partner  interest in Reef Ventures,  L.P. Reef
Ventures, L.P. owns 100% of the member interest in Reef International LLC(8) and
Reef Marketing LLC(9).

The Company's  products and services are primarily  focused on  development  and
operation of transportation,  processing,  distribution and storage projects for
natural  gas and  liquids  in the  northeastern  states  of  Mexico  (Chihuahua,
Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas) and the State of Texas.

Reef Ventures International Pipeline

Unitl  September  30, 2004,  we derived our revenue from sales of natural gas to
Conagas, the local distribution company in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, through the
pipeline  owned by Reef  Ventures,  L.P. On September 1, 2004,  we converted the
revenue  source for this  pipeline  to a  transportation  fee.  As a reseller of
natural gas we were  obligated to restrict of use of $1,000,000 of cash in order
to fund a credit facility in favor of the seller of natural gas. We believe that
converting  the revenue source to a  transportation  fee that we will double net
revenues  based upon current gas volumes  committed for delivery to the customer
in Piedras Negras, Coahuila. Additionally, Management is evaluating an expansion
of the pipeline in Coahuila to serve new markets  along the state highway No. 57
corridor  to  Monclova,  Coahuila.  The planned  Liquid  Propane Gas ( LPG) line
between Eagle Pass, Texas and Piedras Negras,  Coahuila is being re-evaluated in
light of new supply sources emerging in Nuevo Laredo and Reynosa,  Tamaulipas. A


                                       14



decision  to  proceed,  modify or abandon  the LPG  project at this  location is
expected in the future.  The above projects were acquired in connection with the
buyout of the Impact general and limited partnership interests in Reef Ventures,
L.P.

Tidelands Oil & Gas Storage Enterprise

In December 2003, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with PEMEX
to design,  build and operate an underground natural gas storage facility in the
vicinity of Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico, in the Burgos Basin area and eventually
at other regions in Mexico.  The MOU provides for exclusivity in the development
of the projects and the related transportation and interconnecting  pipelines to
and from the storage facilities.

We have  completed  the  initial  study of the  Burgos  facility  and  expect to
complete final contract  negotiations with PEMEX and third party vendors for the
construction  and operation of the facility  before the end of 2005. A system of
two  interconnecting  pipelines is also proposed to enhance the overall pipeline
grid and the  operational  efficiency  of the  proposed  storage  facility.  The
capital budget for these projects  exceeds $200 Million  Dollars and is expected
to be funded  through  issuance  additional  equity  and debt  financing.  Marea
Associates,  L.P. was formed to own the majority interest in Terranova  Energia,
S. de R.L. de C.V., a Mexican  company  which will enter into all  contracts for
business  dealings in Mexico on behalf of  Tidelands.  Rio Bravo  Energy LLC, an
existing  wholly owned  subsidiary  owns the general  partner  interest in Marea
Associates,  L.P. and a minority  interest in Terranova  Energia,  S. de R.L. de
C.V.

Rio Bravo Energy, LLC

Rio Bravo  Energy,  LLC was formed on August 10, 1998 to operate the Chittim Gas
Processing  Plant which was  purchased  in 1999 and was  processing  natural gas
primarily from Conoco Oil's Sacatosa Field.  The Sacatosa Field was primarily an
oilfield  which produced high BTU  casinghead  gas from which  processing  would
yield  valuable  hydrocarbon  components  such as  propane,  butane and  natural
gasolines.  As the field  depleted  lower volumes of  casinghead  gas were being
delivered by Conoco and other gas  producers  could not be  contracted  with for
processing of additional replacement volumes of gas. Therefore, in October 2002,
the plant was temporarily  shut down due to the declining  economics  associated
with low volume  operation  of the plant.  Management  plans to reopen the plant
when adequate  volumes of gas from third party producers makes plant  operations
economically attractive. The gas plant has the capability to fractionate natural
gas into commercial grade propane and butane. The maximum intake capacity of gas
plant is 10 million  cubic  feet of gas per day.  Presently,  we are  evaluating
opening  the plant for LPG  production  for our  Sonterra  Energy  Corporation's
Austin propane  business.  The market for the products of plant  operation could
include our future  propane/butane  terminal and pipeline  crossing into Mexico,
and, or LPG supply to Sonterra's propane business in Austin, Texas.

Sonora Pipeline, LLC

Sonora  Pipeline,  LLC was formed in January 1998 to operate the Sonora pipeline
network which has the capability of delivering  adequate  volumes of natural gas
for economic operation of the Chittim Gas Processing Plant. The pipeline network
consists of  approximately  80 miles of gas pipeline.  This pipeline network was
acquired in conjunction with the Chittim Gas Processing  Plant  acquisition and,
when operational,  could generate revenue from transportation fees to be charged
to third party gas producers  shipping natural gas to the gas plant owned by Rio
Bravo Energy LLC.

Sonterra Energy Corporation Business

On  November  1, 2004,  through  our  subsidiary,  Sonterra  Energy  Corporation
subsidiary,  we entered  into an Asset  Purchase and Sale  Agreement  with Oneok
Propane  Distribution  Company,  a division of ONEOK Propane Company, a Delaware
corporation.   We  purchased  the  assets  of  this  division  for  Two  Million
($2,000,000).  The assets consist of propane distribution systems, including gas
mains, yard lines, meters and storage tanks,  serving the following  residential
13 subdivisions in the Austin, Texas.  Additionally,  we provide gas to Arbolago
and Hills of Lakeway subdivisions. The 15 subdivisions include:

o        Arbolago*
o        Austin's Colony Phase II
o        Costa Bella
o        Hills of Lakeway
o        Jacarandas
o        Lake Pointe



                                       15


o        La Ventana
o        Lakewinds Estates
o        Northshore on Lake Travis Phase I
o        Riverbend
o        Rob Roy Rim
o        Senna Hills
o        Sterling Acres
o        The Point
o        The Preserve at Barton Creek

These subdivisions  contain 1,333 lots.  Presently,  850 of lots are metered for
use.  There are 483 number of unmetered  lots. As new homes are  constructed  on
these lots our customer base will grow. Presently,  100% of the subdivisions are
metered for propane consumption.

The propane  distribution  system is comprised of  approximately 25 miles of gas
main pipe, 75,000 feet of yard lines, 850 meters,  storage tanks with a combined
capacity  of 156,000  gallons.  Sonterra is the  exclusive  seller of propane in
these subdivisions and is not considered a regulated utility. Sonterra purchases
propane products from a number of distributors in Austin, Texas.

We financed the  purchase of these  assets by selling  Four Million  (4,000,000)
shares to ACH Securities,  S.A., a company domiciled in Geneva, Switzerland, for
Two Million  ($2,000,000)  Dollars.  On October 14, 2004, in connection with the
ACH Securities  transaction,  we issued Margaux  Investment  Group,  S.A. common
stock  warrants to purchase  One Million  (1,000,000)  shares for Fifty  ($0.50)
Cents per share and One Million (1,000,000) shares at $2.50 per share.

The  Texas  Railroad  Commission   regulates  all  aspects  of  the  production,
transportation and processing of petroleum products in the State of Texas.

Competition

Reef Ventures, L.P.  Eagle Pass Pipeline Crossing

Our Eagle Pass international pipeline crossing competes with a pipeline owned by
West Texas Gas, Inc. pipeline crossing which is located two miles north of Eagle
Pass.  We believe that the West Texas Gas crossing  will be able to compete with
us  only  marginally  beginning  in  2006  due  to a very  limited  transmission
capability.

Sonterra Energy Corporation Propane Distribution

Our propane  distribution  business  serving the 15 Austin  subdivisions  is not
subject to competition within the existing acquired  subdivisions because we are
the sole propane supplier. The residential real estate development  subdivisions
are subject to a propane  supply  covenant  granting us the exclusive  supply of
propane  for each  subdivision.  In the future,  we will  compete in the bidding
process for new propane distribution systems as new residential  subdivision are
developed.   We  may  also  be  able  to  acquire  additional  existing  propane
distribution systems from competitors.

Employees

Tidelands has seven full time employees  including our corporate  officers.  Our
Sonterra Energy  subsidiary,  which operates the Austin propane gas distribution
company, has 9 full-time employees

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS

Business Overview

Our products and services are primarily  focused on development and operation of
transportation,  processing,  distribution  and storage projects for natural gas
and liquids in the northeastern  states of Mexico  (Chihuahua,  Coahuila,  Nuevo
Leon and Tamaulipas) and the state of Texas in the United States of America.

We currently derive our revenue from sales of natural gas to Conagas,  the local
distribution company in Piedras Negras, Coahuila,  through the pipeline owned by
Reef  Ventures,  L.P. We  converted  the revenue  source for this  pipeline to a
transportation  fee on September 1, 2004 with the  execution of a new  agreement
with  Conagas.  This contract  arrangement  freed up of use of $1,000,000 of our
"restricted cash" which we used to fund a credit facility in favor of the seller
of natural gas to Reef  Ventures,  L.P. We believe  that the  conversion  of the
revenue source to a transportation  fee, net revenues will be doubled based upon
current  gas  volumes  committed  for  delivery  to  Conagas.  .  Management  is
evaluating  an expansion of the pipeline in Coahuila to serve new markets  along
the state highway No. 57 corridor to Monclova, Coahuila. The planned natural gas
liquid line  between  Eagle Pass,  Texas and Piedras  Negras,  Coahuila is being
re-evaluated in light of new supply sources  emerging in, Texas and Mexico.  The
above projects were acquired in connection with the buyout of the Impact general
and limited partnership  interests in Reef Ventures,  L.P. which is described in
further detail in Footnote 4 to the Condensed  Consolidated Financial Statements
above.

In December 2003, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with PEMEX
to design,  build and operate an underground natural gas storage facility in the
vicinity of Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico, in the Burgos Basin area and eventually
at other regions in Mexico.  The MOU provides for exclusivity in the development
of the projects and the related transportation and interconnecting  pipelines to
and from the storage facilities.

We have  completed  the  initial  study of the  Burgos  facility  and  expect to
complete final contract  negotiations with PEMEX and third party vendors for the
construction   and  operation  of  the  facility   shortly.   A  system  of  two
interconnecting  pipelines is also proposed to enhance the overall pipeline grid
and the operational efficiency of the storage facility.  Permit applications for
all these  projects  will be filed in 2005 with the  Mexican  Energy  Regulatory
Commission.  The capital budget for these projects exceeds $200 Million Dollars.
We anticipate  funding these  projects with new equity and , or debt  financing.
Marea Associates,  L.P. was formed during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2004
to own the majority interest in Terranova Energia, S. de R.L. de C.V., a Mexican
company which will enter into all  contracts for business  dealings in Mexico on
behalf  of the  Tidelands.  Rio Bravo  Energy  LLC,  an  existing  wholly  owned
subsidiary owns the general  partner  interest in Marea  Associates,  L.P. and a
minority interest in Terranova Energia, S. de R.L. de C.V.

We are in the preliminary design phase for an LNG regasification  terminal to be
located  in  offshore  Mexican  waters  of the Gulf of  Mexico  near  Matamoros,
Tamaulipas.  The LNG Terminal  would  provide  additional  supply for  Northeast
Mexico natural gas markets which are currently importing approximately 1 BCF per
day from the U.S. The capital  cost to build the  terminal  and  interconnecting
pipeline to the planned  storage  facility is expected to be slightly under $200
million USD.

Rio Bravo  Energy,  LLC was formed on August 10, 1998 to operate the Chittim Gas
Processing  Plant which was  purchased  in 1999 and was  processing  natural gas
primarily from Conoco Oil's Sacatosa Field.  The Sacatosa Field was primarily an
oilfield  which produced high BTU  casinghead  gas from which  processing  would



                                       17


yield  valuable  hydrocarbon  components  such as  propane,  butane and  natural
gasolines.  As the field  depleted  lower volumes of  casinghead  gas were being
delivered by Conoco and other gas  producers  could not be  contracted  with for
processing of additional replacement volumes of gas. Therefore, in October 2002,
the plant was temporarily  shut down due to the declining  economics  associated
with low volume operation of the plant. We plan to reopen the plant in 2005 when
adequate  volumes of LPG feedstock  from third  parties  makes plant  operations
economically  attractive.  We are evaluating the  feasibility of opening the gas
plant for LPG  production  for our  Sonterra  LPG  business  in  Austin,  Texas.
Additionally,  the market for the products of the Chittim plant  operation could
include our future propane/butane terminal and pipeline crossing into Mexico. As
noted  above,  Rio Bravo  Energy LLC owns a general  partner  interest  in Marea
Associates,  L.P. and the minority interest in Terranova Energia,  S. de R.L. de
C.V.

Sonora  Pipeline,  LLC was formed in January 1998 to operate the Sonora pipeline
network which has the capability of delivering  adequate  volumes of natural gas
for economic operation of the Chittim Gas Processing Plant. The pipeline network
consists of approximately 80 miles of gas pipeline.  Presently,  the line is not
in use. The pipeline was acquired in conjunction with the Chittim Gas Processing
Plant   acquisition.   When   operational,   it  would  generate   revenue  from
transportation fees charged to third party gas producers shipping natural gas to
the Chittim Gas Plant owned by Rio Bravo Energy LLC.

Sonterra Energy Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tidelands entered into
the  residential  propane  distribution  business  on  November 1, 2004 with its
acquisition of 850 existing customers located in 15 subdivisions in the vicinity
of Austin,  Texas.  Sonterra's  existing and future market area includes several
central  Texas  locations  that do not have  access to natural gas as a fuel for
home heating and appliance usage.  Current expansion of over 400 lots within the
existing  subdivisions  is  possible.  Sonterra  has  also  entered  into  a new
agreement  with the  developer  of  Northshore  on Lake  Travis  to  expand  the
currently  serviced lots by an additional  1,000 units.  Up to 2,625  additional
lots may be  available  for  installation  of  residential  propane  delivery in
developments  currently  in the  planning  stages in the  nearly  central  Texas
vicinity.

                              SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

The following table provides certain information about the selling shareholder's
beneficial ownership of our common stock as of November 30, 2004 and as adjusted
to  give  effect  to the  sale  of  all of the  shares  being  offered  by  this
prospectus.


                                       19




The number of shares that the Mercator Momentum Fund, LP, Mercator Momentum Fund
III, LP, Monarch Pointe Fund, Ltd., Mercator Advisory Group, LLC will own at any
time  are  subject  to  limitation  in  the  governing  agreements  for  the  7%
Convertible Debentures and warrants,  respectively, so that the aggregate number
of shares of common  stock of which such  selling  stockholder  and all  persons
affiliated with such selling stockholder  (calculated  pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of
the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,  as amended)  does not at any time exceed
9.99% of our then outstanding common stock.

The following table  identifies the selling  stockholders  and indicates (i) the
nature of any position,  office or other material relationship that each selling
stockholder  has  had  with  us  during  the  past  three  years  (or any of our
predecessors  or affiliates) and (ii) the number of shares and percentage of our
outstanding shares of common stock owned by the selling stockholder prior to the
offering,  the  number of shares to be  offered  for the  selling  stockholder's
account  and the number of shares and  percentage  of  outstanding  shares to be
owned by the selling stockholder after completion of the offering.

The percentage  interest of each selling  stockholder is based on the beneficial
ownership  of  such  selling  stockholder  divided  by the  sum  of the  current
outstanding  shares of common stock plus the  additional  shares,  if any, which
would  be  issued  to  such  selling  stockholder  (but  not any  other  selling
stockholder) when exercising warrants or other rights in the future.  Applicable
percentage  of  ownership  is  based  on  60,603,359   shares  of  common  stock
outstanding  as of November 30, 2004 together  with  securities  exercisable  or
convertible into shares of common stock within 60 days of November 30, 2004, for
each  stockholder.  Beneficial  ownership is determined  in accordance  with the
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or
investment  power with respect to securities.  Shares of common stock subject to
securities  exercisable  or  convertible  into  shares of common  stock that are
currently  exercisable  or  exercisable  within 60 days of November 30, 2004 are
deemed to be  beneficially  owned by the person holding such  securities for the
purpose of computing  the  percentage  of ownership of such person,  but are not
treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage  ownership of
any other  person.  Note that  affiliates  are  subject to Rule 144 and  Insider
trading regulations and percentage computation is for form purposes only.

                                LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On January 6,  2003,  we were  served as a third  party  defendant  in a lawsuit
titled  Northern  Natural Gas Company vs. Betty Lou Sheerin vs.  Tidelands Oil &
Gas Corporation,  ZG Gathering, Ltd. and Ken Lay, in the 150th Judicial District
Court,  Bexar  County,  Texas,  Cause  Number  2002-C1-16421.  The  lawsuit  was
initiated by Northern Natural Gas when it sued Betty Lou Sheerin for her failure
to make  payments on a note she  executed  payable to  Northern in the  original
principal amount of $1,950,000.  Northern's suit was filed on November 13, 2002.
Sheerin  answered  Northern's  lawsuit  on January  6,  2003.  Sheerin's  answer
generally  denied  Northern's  claims  and raised the  affirmative  defenses  of
fraudulent inducement by Northern,  estoppel,  waiver and the further claim that
the not does not comport with the legal requirements of a negotiable instrument.
Sheerin  seeks a judicial  ruling that  Northern  be denied any  recovery on the
note. Sheerin's answer included a counterclaim  against Northern,  ZG Gathering,
and Ken Lay generally alleging, among other things, that Northern, ZG Gathering,
Ltd. and Ken Lay,  fraudulently  induced her execution of the note. Northern has
filed a general denial of Sheerin's  counterclaims.  Sheerin's answer included a
third party cross claim against  Tidelands.  She alleges that Tidelands  entered
into an agreement to purchase the Zavala Gathering System from ZG Gathering Ltd.
and that,  as a part of the  agreement,  Tidelands  agreed to satisfy all of the
obligations  due  and  owing  to  Northern,  thereby  relieving  Sheerin  of all
obligations she had to Northern on the promissory note in question.  She alleges
that  Tidelands  is liable to her for all of her  actual  damages,  costs of the
lawsuit and other  unstated  relief.  Tidelands and Sheerin  agreed to delay the
Tideland's  answer  date in order  to allow  time  for  mediation  of the  case.
Tideland's  participated  in a  mediation  on March 11,  2003.  The case was not
settled at that time.  Tideland's  answered  the Sheerin suit on March 26, 2003.
Tideland's  answer  denies all of Sheerin's  allegations.  No discovery has been
completed  at this time.  Based on  initial  investigation,  however,  Tidelands
appears to have a number of potential  defenses to Sheerin's claims.  Tideland's
intends  to  aggressively  defend  the  lawsuit.  At  this  early  stage  in the
litigation,  and in light of our continuing  investigation  of the facts and the
issues in the case,  we cannot give a more  definitive  evaluation of the extent
Tideland's liability exposure.

On May 24 and June 16, 2004 respectively,  Betty Lou Sheerin filed her first and
second amended original answer,  affirmative  defenses,  special  exceptions and
second  amended  original  counterclaim,  second  amended  original  third party
cross-actions and requests for disclosure.  In these amended pleadings, she sued
Michael Ward, Royis Ward,  James B. Smith,  Carl Hessel and Ahmed Karim in their
individual  capacities.  Her claims  against  these  individuals  are for fraud,
breach of the  Uniform  Commercial  Code,  breach of duty of good faith and fair
dealing and conversion. These claims are being vigorously defended.

Common Stock Warrants

         Impact Warrants
         ---------------

We amended the Stock  Purchase  Warrant  Agreement  dated April 16, 2003 between
Tidelands and Impact International,  LLC in connection with our purchase of Reef
Ventures,  LLC.  We issued  Impact  International,  LLC a stock  warrant for Ten
Million  (10,000,000)  shares of Tideland's  common stock,  plus such additional
shares of common  stock which may be issued upon the  occurrence  of an untimely
registration  event,  less the  500,000  shares we issued to Impact on April 13,
2004.  The cash exercise price is $0.335 per share.  The expiration  date of the
warrant is April 16, 2006.

We have agreed to use our best  efforts to  register  the shares  issuable  upon
exercise of the Impact  warrant with the SEC so that Impact will be permitted to
publicly  resell the common  shares.  We have agreed to use our best  efforts to
keep the registration  statement effective as long as it is necessary for Impact
to sell the shares.

If the registration statement is declared effective (i) by April 7, 2005, if the
registration is on Form S-3, or (ii) July 7, 2005 if the registration  statement
is on Form SB-2 or any other registration form, the registration  statement will
be  deemed  timely  (a  "Timely  Registration").   In  the  event  of  a  Timely
Registration,  Impact will exercise the warrant for all of the remaining  shares
under the warrant on a cash basis  payable by Impact  through the execution of a
promissory  note payable to Tidelands (the "Impact  Note"),  as of the effective
date of the  Registration  Statement.  In the event that we do not  accomplish a
Timely Registration,  then Impact may exercise the warrant at any time after the
date which is the last date for a Timely  Registration,  at its option on a cash
basis or  pursuant to Section 1.2 of the  warrant  agreement  on a net  exercise
cashless basis for all the remaining shares under the warrant.  If Impact elects
to exercise the warrants on a net exercise  cashless basis, we will increase the
number of shares available for issuance under the warrant, regardless of whether
issued for cash or on a net  exercise  basis so that the total  number of shares
issued would total 10,000,000 shares.

Until the Registration  Statement is declared effective,  we are obligated issue
500,000  common  shares under the cashless  exercise  provisions  of the Amended
Stock Purchase  Warrant each 90days period  commencing July 14, 2004,  until the
Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC.

         Mercator Warrants

As part of our November 18, 2004  financing  with Mercator  Momentum  Fund,  LP,
Mercator  Momentum Fund III, LP,  Monarch  Pointe Fund,  Ltd.,  and the Mercator
Advisory Group, LLC ("Mercator Group"), we issued 3 year warrants to purchase up
to  3,289,474  shares of our common stock at $0.80 per share and up to 3,289,474
shares of our common stock at $0.87per share.  The shares issuable upon exercise
of these warrants have been  registered in this  registration  statement on Form
SB-2, of which this prospectus is a part.

o        Mercator  Momentum Fund, LP 417,763  warrants  exercisable at $0.87 and
         417,763 warrants exercisable at $0.80;
o        Mercator  Momentum Fund III, LP 287,829  warrants  exercisable at $0.87
         and 287,829 warrants exercisable at $0.80;
o        Monarch  Pointe  Fund,  LP 939,145  warrants  exercisable  at $0.87 and
         939,145 warrants exercisable at $0.80.
o        Mercator  Advisory Group, LLC 1,644,737  warrants  exercisable at $0.87
         and 1,644,737 warrants exercisable at $0.80.

The  agreements   governing  the  terms  of  the  warrants  contain   provisions
prohibiting any exercise of the warrants that would result in Mercator  Momentum
Fund, LP, the Mercator  Momentum Fund III, LP; the Monarch Pointe Fund, Ltd., or
Mercator Advisory Group, LLC;  collectively  owning beneficially more than 9.99%
of the outstanding  shares of our common stock as determined under Section 13(d)
of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934. As a result of these  provisions,  such
entities  disclaim  beneficial  ownership in excess of 9.99% of the  outstanding
shares of our common stock.

7% Convertible Debentures

As a part of our November 18, 2004 financing with the Mercator  Group, we issued
7% Convertible  Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000.  The




                                       31


Debentures  mature May 18, 2006.  We are required to pay interest  monthly.  The
aggregate  monthly  interest  payment  is  $29,166.67.  The  allocation  of  the
debentures is as follows:

o        Mercator   Momentum   Fund,  LP  acquired   $1,270,000  7%  Convertible
         Debentures;
o        Mercator  Momentum  Fund  III,  LP  acquired  $875,000  7%  Convertible
         Debentures;
o        Monarch Pointe Fund, LP acquired $2,855,000 7% Convertible Debentures.

The  payment of funds for the  debentures  is  structured  in two  tranches.  On
November 19, 2004, we received a total of $3,250,000 which represents 65% of the
funds due. We will receive $1,750,000  balance on the 7% Convertible  Debentures
within two (2) trading days after we file this  Registration  Statement with the
SEC.

Each  Debenture  is  convertible  into the  number of  shares  of  common  stock
determined by dividing the principal  balance of the Debenture by the Conversion
Price at the time of the conversion.  The Conversion  Price is defined as 85% of
the "Market Price", which is defined as the average of the lowest four intra-day
trading  prices of our common stock during the ten trading  days  preceding  the
conversion,  however,  the  Conversion  Price may not be less than $0.45 or more
than $0.76, adjusted for stock splits and similar events. Upon the occurrence of
certain events specified in the Debentures,  including any Event of Default,  as
defined in the Debentures,  the Conversion Price will be reduced from 85% of the
Market  Price to 75% of the Market  Price,  but in no event higher than $0.76 or
lower than $0.45 per share.

The  agreements  governing the terms of the 7%  Convertible  Debentures  contain
provisions  prohibiting  any conversion of the  Debentures  that would result in
Mercator  Momentum  Fund,  LP, the Mercator  Momentum  Fund III, LP; the Monarch
Pointe  Fund,  Ltd. , or  Mercator  Advisory  Group,  LLC;  collectively  owning
beneficially  more than 9.99% of the  outstanding  shares of our common stock as
determined  under  Section  13(d) of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934. As a
result of these  provisions,  these entities  disclaim  beneficial  ownership in
excess of 9.99% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

Other Warrants

Margaux  Investment  Management  Group  owns  2,000,000  common  stock  warrants
1,000,000  warrants with an exercise  price of $0.50 per share and an expiration
date of August 14, 2006 and another  1,000,000  with an exercise  price of $2.50
with an expiration date October 26, 2007.

Penny Stock Rules

Our common stock is covered by the  Securities and Exchange  Commission's  penny
stock rules.  These rules include a rule that imposes  additional sales practice
requirements  on  broker-dealers  who sell our  securities to persons other than
established  customers  and  accredited  investors.   Accredited  investors  are
generally  institutions  with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with
net  worth in excess  of  $1,000,000  or annual  income  exceeding  $200,000  or
$300,000 jointly with their spouses.  For transactions  covered by the rule, the
broker-dealer  must make a special  suitability  determination for the purchaser
and  transaction  prior to the sale.  The rule may affect the ability of broker-
dealers to sell our securities and may also affect the  availability  ability of
purchasers  of our stock to sell their shares in the  secondary  market.  It may
also cause fewer  brokers to be willing to make a market in our common stock and
it may affect the level of news coverage we receive.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

Board of Directors
Tidelands Oil & Gas Corporation
San Antonio, Texas

We have audited the accompanying  consolidated  balance sheet of Tidelands Oil &
Gas Corporation as of December 31, 2003, and the related consolidated statements
of  stockholders'  equity  (deficit),  operations,  and cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. These  consolidated  financial  statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards  generally accepted
in the  United  States of  America.  Those  standards  require  that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the consolidated
financial  statements  are free of  material  misstatement.  An  audit  includes
examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the  consolidated  financial  statements.  An audit also includes  assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall  consolidated  financial  statement  presentation.  We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  consolidated  financial  position  of
Tidelands Oil & Gas Corporation as of December 31, 2003 and the results of their
consolidated  operations and their  consolidated  cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2003 and 2002 in conformity  with accounting  principles  generally
accepted in the United States of America.

                         TIDELANDS OIL & GAS CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002



NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
------   ------------------------------------------

         This summary of significant  accounting policies is presented to assist
         in  understanding   these  consolidated   financial   statements.   The
         consolidated  financial  statements  and notes are  representations  of
         management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.  The
         accounting  policies  used conform to accounting  principles  generally
         accepted  in the United  States of America  and have been  consistently
         applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

         Organization
         ------------

         Tidelands Oil & Gas Corporation  (formerly C2 Technologies,  Inc.) (the
         Company) was  incorporated in the state of Nevada on February 25, 1997.
         On December 1, 2000 the Company  acquired the remaining equity (50%) of
         Rio  Bravo  Energy,  LLC.  (Rio  Bravo).  Accordingly,  Rio  Bravo is a
         wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

         Nature of Operations
         --------------------

         The  Company is  currently  engaged in the  development  of natural gas
         storage  facilities in Mexico and the  reopening of its gas  processing
         plant and pipeline in Texas.

         Principles of Consolidation
         ---------------------------

         The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts of the
         Company   and   its   wholly-owned   subsidiaries.    All   significant
         inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

         Fair Value of Financial Instruments
         -----------------------------------

         Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 107 "Disclosure About
         Fair Value of Financial  Instruments,"  requires the  disclosure of the
         fair value of off-and-on  balance sheet financial  instruments.  Unless
         otherwise  indicated,  the  fair  values  of all  reported  assets  and
         liabilities,  which represent financial  instruments (none of which are
         held for trading  purposes),  approximate  the carrying  values of such
         amounts.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
------   ------------------------------------------------------

         Use of Estimates
         ----------------

         The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with
         accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in the  United  States  of
         America  requires  management to make  estimates and  assumptions  that
         affect certain reported amounts and  disclosures.  Accordingly,  actual
         results could differ from those estimates.

         Cash and Equivalents
         --------------------

         Cash and cash equivalents  includes all cash balances and highly liquid
         investments with a maturity of three months or less.  During the normal
         course of business, the Company may maintain cash balances at financial
         institutions in excess of the FDIC limit of $100,000.

         Property, Plant and Equipment
         -----------------------------

         Property,   plant  and  equipment  are  recorded  at  historical  cost.
         Depreciation  of  property,  plant and  equipment  is  provided  on the
         straight-line  method over the  estimated  useful  lives of the related
         assets.  Maintenance  and repairs are charged to operations.  Additions
         and  betterments,  which  extend  the  useful  lives of the  assets are
         capitalized.  Upon  retirement or disposal of the  property,  plant and
         equipment,  the cost and accumulated  depreciation  are eliminated from
         the  accounts,   and  the  resulting  gain  or  loss  is  reflected  in
         operations.

         Long-Lived Assets
         -----------------

         Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  144  (SFAS  No.  144),
         "Accounting  For The  Impairment  or  Disposal of  Long-Lived  Assets",
         requires that  long-lived  assets to be disposed of by sail be measured
         at the lower of the  carrying  amount or fair  value  less cost to sell
         whether rebated in continuing operations or in discontinued operations.
         SFAS 144 also  expands the  reporting  of  discontinued  operations  to
         include  components  of an entity that have been or will be disposed of
         rather than  limiting such  discontinuance  to a segment of a business.
         The  requirements of SFAS 144 is not expected to have a material impact
         on the  consolidated  financial  position  or results  of  consolidated
         operations.

                         TIDELANDS OIL & GAS CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
------   ------------------------------------------------------

         Income Taxes
         ------------

         Deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are recognized for the future tax
         consequences   attributable   to  differences   between  the  financial
         statement  carrying  amounts  and tax bases of assets  and  liabilities
         using  enacted  tax  rates  in  effect  for  the  years  in  which  the
         differences are expected to reverse. The temporary differences on these
         financial statements related primarily to accrued officers salaries and
         net operations loss  carry/forwards.  A valuation allowance is provided
         for deferred tax assets if it is uncertain as to the future realization
         of these benefits.

         Net (Loss) Per Common Share
         ---------------------------

         The  Company  accounts  for net  (loss)  per share in  accordance  with
         Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standard 128 ("SFAS 128") "Earnings
         per  Share".  Basic  (loss)  per  share  is based  upon the net  (loss)
         applicable to the weighted average number of common shares  outstanding
         during the period.  Diluted (loss) per share reflects the effect of the
         assumed  conversions  of  convertible  securities and exercise of stock
         options  only in the  periods  in which  such  affect  would  have been
         dilutive.

         Goodwill
         --------

         Statement of Financial Standards No. 142 "Goodwill and other Intangible
         Assets" ("SFAS 142")  requires  Goodwill to be tested for impairment on
         an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances,  and
         written  down when  impaired,  rather than being  amortized as previous
         accounting standards required. Furthermore, SFAS 142 requires purchased
         intangible assets other than goodwill to be amortized over their useful
         lives unless these lives are determined to be indefinite.

         New Accounting Standards
         ------------------------

         In June 2001,  Statement of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 143,
         Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,  (SFAS No. 143) was issued
         and is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 2002. SFAS
         No. 143 addresses  financial  accounting and reporting for  obligations
         associated  with the retirement of tangible  long-lived  assets and the
         associated  asset  retirement  costs. The adoption of SFAS 143 does not
         have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
------   ------------------------------------------------------

         New Accounting Standards (Continued)
         ------------------------------------

         In July 2002,  Statement of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 146,
         Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal activities, (SFAS
         No.  146) was issued  and is  effective  for  periods  beginning  after
         December 31, 2002.  SFAS No. 146  requires,  among other  things,  that
         costs  associated with an exit activity  (including  restructuring  and
         employee  and  contract  termination  costs)  or  with  a  disposal  of
         long-lived  assets be  recognized  when the liability has been incurred
         and can be measured at fair  value.  Companies  must record in earnings
         from continuing  operations  costs  associated with an exit or disposal
         activity  that  does  not  involve  a  discontinued  operation.   Costs
         associated  with an activity  that  involves a  discontinued  operation
         would be  included  in the  results  of  discontinued  operations.  The
         implementation  of the  provisions  of SFAS  No.  146  does  not have a
         material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

         In December 2002,  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148,
         Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,  (SFAS No. 148) was issued and
         is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after December 15, 2002. SFAS
         No. 148 amends the disclosure  requirements of SFAS No. 123, Accounting
         for  Stock-Based  Compensation,  (SFAS No.  123) to  require  prominent
         disclosures in both interim and annual  financial  statements about the
         method of accounting  for  stock-based  employee  compensation  and the
         effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS No. 148 also amends
         SFAS  No.  123 to  provide  alternative  methods  of  transition  for a
         voluntary  change to the fair  value  based  method of  accounting  for
         stock-based employee  compensation.  We have decided not to voluntarily
         adopt the SFAS No. 123 fair value method of accounting for  stock-based
         employee  compensation.  Therefore,  the  new  transition  alternatives
         allowed  in SFAS No. 148 will not  affect  the  consolidated  financial
         statements.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002


NOTE 2 - GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT
------   -------------------

         On December 1, 2000,  the Company  acquired  the  remaining  50% of its
         investment in Rio Bravo Energy,  LLC. (Rio Bravo) and its  wholly-owned
         subsidiary  Sonora  Pipeline,  LLC.,  for a  total  purchase  price  of
         $505,558.  The purchase of Rio Bravo was  accounted for by the purchase
         method,  whereby the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed
         are  recorded at their fair  value.  The excess of the amount paid over
         the fair value of Rio  Bravo's  identifiable  net  assets was  $57,029,
         which had been reflected in the balance sheet as goodwill.

         In October 2002,  management  temporarily  ceased operations of the gas
         processing plant and related  pipeline.  It is the intent of management
         to restart these operations  sometime in the subsequent  period, but as
         of  December  31,  2002 no  formal  negotiations  had  taken  place  to
         establish a  definitive  starting  date.  Accordingly,  management  has
         written off the value of goodwill of $52,910  related to the processing
         plant and pipeline for the year ended December 31, 2002.

NOTE 3 - PREPAID EXPENSES 
------   -----------------

         As of  December  31, 2003  prepaid  expenses  of $22,209  consisted  of
         prepaid legal fees,  prepaid consulting fees, prepaid insurance expense
         and financing costs.

                     Accounting for Stock Based Compensation

As allowed by Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 123,  Accounting
for   Stock-Based   Compensation,   the   Company   has  elected  to  apply  the
intrinsic-value-based  method of  accounting.  Under this  method,  the  Company
measures stock based  compensation for option grants to employees  assuming that
options  granted at market price at the date of grant have no  intrinsic  value.
Restricted  stock awards were valued based on the  discounted  market price of a
share of non-restricted  stock on the date earned.  No compensation  expense has
been  recognized for  stock-based  incentive  compensation  plans other than for
restricted stock awards pursuant to executive employment agreements.

NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
-------   -----------------------------

         The  Company  is subject to the laws and  regulations  relating  to the
         protection  of the  environment.  The  Company's  policy  is to  accrue
         environmental and related cleanup costs of a non-capital nature when it
         is both probable that a liability has been incurred and when the amount
         can be  reasonably  estimated.  Although it is not possible to quantify
         with any degree of  certainty  the  financial  impact of the  Company's
         continuing   compliance   efforts,   management   believes  any  future
         remediation or other compliance  related costs will not have a material
         adverse  effect on the  consolidated  financial  condition  or reported
         results of consolidated operations of the Company.

NOTE 12 - LITIGATION
--------  ----------

         On January 6, 2003,  the Company was served as a third party  defendant
         in a lawsuit titled Northern  Natural Gas Company vs. Betty Lou Sheerin
         vs. Tidelands Oil & Gas Corporation, ZG Gathering, Ltd. and Ken Lay, in
         the 150th Judicial District Court,  Bexar County,  Texas,  Cause Number
         2002-C1-16421.  The  lawsuit  was  initiated  by  Northern  Natural Gas
         Company  (Northern)  when it sued Betty Lou  Sheerin for her failure to
         make  payments  on a note  she  executed  payable  to  Northern  in the
         original  principal amount of $1,950,000.  Northern's suit was filed on
         November 13, 2002.  Sheerin answered  Northern's  lawsuit on January 6,
         2003.  Sheerin's answer generally denied  Northern's  claims and raised
         the  affirmative   defenses  of  fraudulent   inducement  by  Northern,
         estoppel,  waiver and the further  claim that the note does not comport
         with the legal requirements of a negotiable instrument.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002

NOTE 12 - LITIGATION (CONTINUED)
--------  ----------------------

         Sheerin seeks a judicial ruling that Northern be denied any recovery on
         the note. Sheerin's answer included a counterclaim against Northern, ZG
         Gathering,  and Ken Lay generally  alleging,  among other things,  that
         Northern,  ZG  Gathering,  Ltd. and Ken Lay,  fraudulently  induced her
         execution of the note. Northern has filed a general denial of Sheerin's
         counterclaims.  Sheerin's  answer  included a third  party  cross claim
         against  Tidelands Oil & Gas  Corporation.  She alleges that  Tidelands
         entered into an agreement to purchase the Zavala  Gathering System from
         ZG Gathering , Ltd.  and that,  as a part of the  agreement,  Tidelands
         agreed to satisfy  all of the  obligations  due and owing to  Northern,
         thereby relieving Sheerin of all obligations she had to Northern on the
         promissory note in question.

         She  alleges  that  Tidelands  is liable  to her for all of her  actual
         damages, costs of the lawsuit and other unstated relief.  Tidelands and
         Sheerin  agreed to delay the  Tideland's  answer date in order to allow
         time for mediation of the case. Tideland's  participated in a mediation
         on March 11,  2003.  The case was not settled at that time.  Tideland's
         answered the Sheerin suit on March 26, 2003.  Tideland's  answer denies
         all of Sheerin's  allegations.  No discovery has been completed at this
         time. Based on initial  investigations,  however,  Tidelands appears to
         have a number of potential  defenses to Sheerin's  claims and Tidelands
         intends to aggressively defend the lawsuit.

         In September  2002, as a pre-closing  deposit to the purchase of the ZG
         pipelines,  the Company executed a $300,000 promissory note to Betty L.
         Sheerin,  a partner of ZG  Gathering,  Ltd.  In  addition,  the Company
         issued  1,000,000  shares of its  restricted  common  stock to  various
         partners  of  ZG  Gathering,   Ltd.  The  company   believes  that  the
         aforementioned  promissory  note and shares of restricted  common stock
         will be cancelled  based upon the outcome of the  litigation  described
         above.  Accordingly,  the Company's  financial  statements reflect that
         position.

         On December  23,  2002,  the  Company  was served as a  defendant  in a
         lawsuit  titled  El  Viejo  Ranch,   Ltd.  vs.   Tidelands  Oil  &  Gas
         Corporation,  in the 293rd Judicial  District,  Zavala  County,  Texas,
         Cause  Number  02-12-10606-ZCV.  The lawsuit was  initiated by El Viejo
         Ranch,  Ltd. on December 10, 2002. El Viejo  contended  that a pipeline
         right of way  agreement  was breached as a result of certain  insurance
         coverage,  required to be maintained under the right-of-way  agreement,
         being allowed to lapse  resulting in  termination  of the  right-of-way
         easement.

         On October  29,  2003 the  parties  executed a release  and  Settlement
         Agreement which was  subsequently  ratified by the court. and Tidelands
         Oil & Gas Corporation paid $6,000 to El Viejo Ranch, Ltd.

NOTE 13 - PARTIAL SALE OF SUBSIDIARIES 
-------   -----------------------------

         In April 2003, the Company completed transactions with several entities
         hereafter known as Impact Energy Services  (Impact) for the sale of 75%
         interest of Reef International,  L.L.C. and Reef Marketing,  L.L.C. for
         $1,960,867.  In addition,  Impact will contribute additional funding up
         to  $6,039,133  for  the  construction  of our  multiple  international
         pipelines from South Texas to Mexico.

         Upon the commencement of operations, the pipeline will be owned by Reef
         Ventures,  L.P. (a Texas limited  partnership) of which Tidelands Oil &
         Gas  Corporation  will hold a 25%  interest.  During  the  construction
         period of the natural gas pipeline,  the Company  received a management
         fee of $155,000  and may  receive an  additional  management  fee to be
         determined  during the construction  period of the "liquids"  pipeline.
         After the  construction  period the Company  will be a limited  partner
         with no direct management responsibilities for the limited partnership.
         Impact will receive a priority return of 150% of all actual  investment
         in the project before other partners receive their respective shares.

         In addition,  "Impact" has received the right for two years to purchase
         restricted  common stock of the Company equal to 19% of the outstanding
         shares of the common stock of the Company. The initial number of shares
         is 6,830,000 at a maximum cost of $.35 per share.

         The Company recorded a gain on the partial sale of the two subsidiaries
         of $1,533,731.

NOTE 14 - STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
-------   ----------------------

         On April 16, 2003, the Company issued a stock purchase  warrant for the
         purchase of common  shares of the  Company's  outstanding  stock at the
         time of  exercise,  which as of December  31,  2003 would be  8,516,807
         shares.  This number  represents common stock available under the terms
         and conditions of a Stock Purchase  Warrant  Agreement where Impact has
         the right to acquire 19% of the issued and outstanding  common stock of
         the  Company.  The  warrant  agreement  is subject to an  anti-dilution
         provision.  Impact  has  given  the  Company  notice  of its  intent to
         exercise the warrant.  The Company has not issued any common  shares to
         date.

         This sale included the commitment of Impact Energy Services and related
         entities  to  construct  and  fund,  up  to  $8,000,000,  for  multiple
         international pipelines from South Texas to Mexico.

         exercise  price is $.35 which could be reduced to zero depending on the
         market price at time of exercise.

                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 24.          Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         The  Nevada   Corporation   Law  and  the  Company's   Certificate   of
Incorporation  and Bylaws  authorize  indemnification  of a  director,  officer,
employee  or agent of the  Company  against  expenses  incurred by him or her in
connection with any action,  suit, or proceeding to which such person is named a
party by  reason  of  having  acted  or  served  in such  capacity,  except  for
liabilities   arising  from  such  person's  own  misconduct  or  negligence  in
performance of duty. In addition, even a director, officer, employee or agent of
the Company who was found liable for misconduct or negligence in the performance
of duty may obtain such  indemnification if, in view of all the circumstances in
the case, a court of competent jurisdiction determines such person is fairly and
reasonably   entitled  to   indemnification.   Insofar  as  indemnification  for
liabilities  arising  under  the  Securities  Act of  1933  (the  "Act")  may be
permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling the Company pursuant to
the foregoing  provisions,  the Company has been informed that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 28.  Undertakings

         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to:

         (1) Insofar as  indemnification  for liabilities  arising under the Act
may be permitted to directors,  officers and controlling  persons of the Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised
that  in  the  opinion  of  the   Securities   and  Exchange   Commission   such
indemnification  is  against  public  policy  as  expressed  in the  Act and is,
therefore,  unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities  (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director,  officer or  controlling  person of the registrant in the
successful  defense of any  action,  suit or  proceeding)  is  asserted  by such
director,  officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered,  the Company  will,  unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been  settled  by  controlling  precedent  submit to a court of  appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such  indemnification  by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

         (2) File, during any period in which it offers or sells  securities,  a
post effective amendment to this registration statement to:

         (i)      Include any  prospectus  required  by section  10(a)(3) of the
                  Act;
         (ii)     Reflect  in  the   prospectus   any  facts  or  events  which,
                  individually  or together,  represent a fundamental  change in
                  the information in the registration statement; and
         (iii)    Include any additional or changed material  information on the
                  plan of distribution.





         For   determining   liability   under  the   Securities,   treat   each
post-effective  amendment  as a new  registration  statement  of the  securities
offered,  and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona
fide offering.

         File a post-effective  amendment to remove from registration any of the
securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

         (b)  Insofar  as  indemnification  for  liabilities  arising  under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,  officers and  controlling
persons of the registrant  pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,
the  registrant  has been  advised  that in the  opinion of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission such  indemnification is against public policy expressed in
the  Act  and is,  therefore,  unenforceable.  In the  event  that a  claim  for
indemnification  against  such  liabilities  (other  than  the  payment  by  the
registrant of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer or  controlling
person of the  registrant  in the  successful  defense  of any  action,  suit or
proceeding)  is  asserted by such  director,  officer or  controlling  person in
connection with the securities being registered,  the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit  to a  court  of  appropriate  jurisdiction  the  question  whether  such
indemnification  by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

         (c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that it will:

         (1) For  determining  any liability under the Securities Act, treat the
information  omitted  from  the  form  of  prospectus  filed  as  part  of  this
registration  statement  in reliance  upon Rule 430A and  contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497 (h)
under the Securities Act as part of this  registration  statement as of the time
the Commission declared it effective.

         (2) For  determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective   amendment   that  contains  a  form  of  prospectus  as  a  new
registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement,
and that  offering  of the  securities  at that  time as the  initial  bona fide
offering of those securities.

SIGNATURES

In  accordance  with  the  requirements  of  the  Securities  Act of  1933,  the
registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all
of the  requirements  of filing on Form SB-2 and  authorized  this  registration
statement  to be signed  on its  behalf  by the  undersigned  in the City of San
Antonio, Texas on December 15, 2004.
