Item 8.01 Other Events.

On September 13, 2006, Whittier Energy Corporation (“Whittier” or the “Company”) issued a press release that included certain updated information relating to the Company’s ongoing drilling and operations and its acquisitions of the Westhoff Ranch and Imperial Petroleum oil and gas properties.

With respect to drilling and operations, the Company’s current oil and gas production has increased to approximately 20 million cubic feet equivalent per day.

The final closing price of the acquired Westhoff Ranch properties located in South Texas was $17.9 million and reflects purchase price adjustments for revenue and expenses attributed to the Company during the period from the February 1, 2006 effective date of the acquisition through the May 31, 2006 closing date. In addition, the Company elected not to close on certain Imperial Petroleum properties, resulting in a final purchase price of approximately $10.2 million for the acquired Imperial properties located in Mississippi and East Texas.

Together, the total proved reserves acquired in the Westhoff Ranch and Imperial acquisitions are estimated by the Company to be 15.9 Bcfe. The Company estimates that it paid an average of $1.77 per thousand cubic feet equivalent of the estimated proved reserves acquired in these transactions.

SIGNATURE

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
