Item 1.   Changes in Control of Registrant.

On December 17, 2003,  Imperial  Petroleum Inc. sold 24,855,000 shares of common
stock of Powder  River  Basin Gas Corp.  for  $175,000  or $.0072 per share to a
group of buyers lead by Renard  Resources  Inc.  and its owner,  Brian Fox. As a
result of the sale, Imperial ceased to be in control of the Company.

The Company is now controlled by Brian Fox and Renard Resources Inc. ( a Company
which is owned by Brian Fox.) The total number of shares owned by these  parties
is 18,655,000 which  represented  immediately  after closing 40.25% of the total
issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Shortly after Closing, the Company
purchased  from Renard a producing oil and gas lease in Louisiana for 38,000,000
shares of common stock of the Company, having an independently  determined value
of more than  $3,800,000,  net of $1,200,000 in related debt,  which the Company
agreed to assume.  The  persons in control  of the  Company  now own  56,655,000
shares  which  represents  67.14% of the  issued and  outstanding  shares of the
Company.

Mr. Brian Fox was elected  president and director of the Company and Mr. Jeffrey
T. Wilson of Imperial  resigned as an officer and director.  The purchase amount
was borrowed  from Base  Finance  under a revolving  line of credit  extended to
Renard and personally  guaranteed by Mr. Fox. Renard pledged 4,000,000 shares of
common stock as additional  collateral for the revolving  line of credit.  There
are no agreements among the purchasers with respect to the election of directors
or any other voting or investment matter with respect to the Shares purchased.

In addition,  Renard  borrowed  approximately  $48,000.  from  Imperial  used to
discharge  indebtedness owed by the Company, and Renard pledged 1,000,000 shares
of its common stock as collateral for this loan.



Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Shortly after the Closing the Company  purchased from Renard a producing oil and
gas lease in Acadia  Parish,  LA for  38,000,000  shares of common  stock of the
Company, having an independently  determined value in excess of $3,800,000,  net
of  $1,200,000  in  related  debt,  which  the  Company  agreed to  assume.  The
indebtedness  bears  interest at the rate of 10% per anum and payments are being
made out of cash flow from the  production  of the lease.  The  indebtedness  is
personally guaranteed by Brian Fox, president of the Company.



Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits

the  acquisition to the Company and such financial  statements  will be provided
