December&nbsp;20, 2005 (as modified by pre-effective amendments, the last of
which was filed on November&nbsp;16, 2006, the &#147;Prior Form S-1&#148;). A filing fee
of $20,124 was paid in connection with $188,070,500 of Common Stock that was
not sold under the Prior Form S-1. Pursuant to Rule&nbsp;457(p) under the
Securities Act, the $20,124 filing fee for such unsold Common Stock under the
Prior Form S-1 is entitled to be used to offset future filing fees. Venoco,
Inc. utilized $16,849 of such excess to offset filing fees due in connection
with a Registration Statement on Form&nbsp;S-3 (Registration No.&nbsp;333-143254)
filed with the Commission on May 25, 2007. The entire $990 filing fee due in
connection with this Registration Statement is being paid through offset
against the remaining $3,275. The unused $2,285 remaining after the filing of
this Registration Statement may be used to offset future registration fees in
accordance with Rule&nbsp;457(p).</font></p>

(1)
Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this Registration
Statement shall also cover any additional shares of common stock of the
Registrant ("Common Stock") to be offered or issued as a result of any stock
dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected
without receipt of consideration that increases the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock.
(2)
Estimated solely for the purpose of
calculating the amount of the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(c) and
(h) under the Securities Act. The proposed maximum offering price per share and
the proposed maximum aggregate offering price are calculated using the average
of the high and low prices of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange
on June 27, 2007.
(3)
Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form
S-8, a filing fee is only being paid with respect to the registration of an
additional 1,786,338 shares of Common Stock available under the Venoco, Inc.
Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Incentive Plan as a result of an amendment to
that Plan. A Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-139444)
was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
on December 18, 2006 to register 1,700,000 shares of Common Stock under the
2005 Stock Incentive Plan.
(4)
Venoco, Inc. previously filed a Registration Statement
on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-130478) with the Commission on
December 20, 2005 (as modified by pre-effective amendments, the last of
which was filed on November 16, 2006, the "Prior Form S-1"). A filing fee
of $20,124 was paid in connection with $188,070,500 of Common Stock that was
not sold under the Prior Form S-1. Pursuant to Rule 457(p) under the
Securities Act, the $20,124 filing fee for such unsold Common Stock under the
Prior Form S-1 is entitled to be used to offset future filing fees. Venoco,
Inc. utilized $16,849 of such excess to offset filing fees due in connection
with a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-143254)
filed with the Commission on May 25, 2007. The entire $990 filing fee due in
connection with this Registration Statement is being paid through offset
against the remaining $3,275. The unused $2,285 remaining after the filing of
this Registration Statement may be used to offset future registration fees in
accordance with Rule 457(p).
EXPLANATORY
NOTE
Venoco, Inc. (the "Company")
has previously filed a registration statement on Form S-8, file
No. 333-139444 (the "Prior Registration Statement"), relating to the
Venoco, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and the Venoco, Inc. 2000
Stock Incentive Plan. On May 23, 2007, the Company's stockholders approved
amendments to the Plan that, among other things, increased the number of shares
of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company ("Common Stock") available
