documents subsequently filed by PDC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or

<p class=MsoNormal><u>&nbsp;</u></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><u>Item 4 - Description of Securities</u></p>



<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This Item is omitted because PDC's Common Stock is registered
under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.</p>



<p class=MsoNormal><u>Item 5 - Interests of Named Experts and Counsel</u></p>



<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Members of Duane Morris LLP, counsel for PDC, own shares of PDC common
stock.&nbsp; The fair market value of this stock ownership is less than $50,000.&nbsp;
Under the regulations of the Commission, Duane Morris LLP is not deemed to have
a substantial interest in PDC.</p>



<p class=MsoNormal><u>Item 6 - Indemnification of Directors and Officers</u></p>



<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; PDC's <b>bylaws</b> contain provisions providing that PDC
shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he
or she is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of PDC, or is or
was serving at the request of PDC as a director, officer, employee, or other
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other
enterprise, against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with that proceeding, if that
person acted in good faith and in a manner that person reasonably believed to
be in the best interests of PDC, and in actions by PDC with such care,
including reasonable inquiry, as an ordinarily prudent person in a like
position would use under similar circumstances, and, in the case of a criminal
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of that person was
unlawful.</p>



<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To the extent that any director, officer, employee or other
agent of PDC has been successful on the merits in defense of any proceeding
referred to in the bylaws, that person shall be indemnified against expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by that person in connection with that
proceeding.&nbsp; Except as provided in the preceding sentence, any indemnification
may be made by PDC only if authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or other agent is
proper in the circumstances because that person has met the applicable standard
of conduct set forth in the bylaws by (a) a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who are not parties to the proceeding; (b) approval by
the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of PDC represented and voting
at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present (which shares voting
affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required quorum); or
(c) the court in which the proceeding is or was pending, upon application made
by PDC or the subject person or the attorney or other person rendering the
services in connection with the defense, whether or not the application by the
subject person, attorney or other person is opposed by PDC.</p>



<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Expenses incurred in defending any proceeding may be advanced
by PDC before the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or other agent
of PDC to repay the amount of the advance unless it shall be determined
ultimately that the subject person is entitled to be indemnified as authorized
by the bylaws.</p>



<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; PDC's <b>Articles of Incorporation</b> provide that no
director or officer of PDC shall be personally liable to PDC or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or
officer, except for liability for (i) an act or omission that involves
intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law; (ii) an act or
omission for which the liability of a director or officer is expressly provided
for by an applicable statute, including the liability for payment of
distributions in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statues; and
(iii) any other act, omission, transaction or breach of duty as to which any
applicable statute, rule or regulation provides that the liability of directors
or officers may not be eliminated or limited.</p>



<p class=MsoNormal><u>Item 7 - Exemption from Registration Claimed</u></p>



<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This Item is omitted because it is not applicable.</p>



<p class=MsoNormal><u>Item 8 - Exhibits</u></p>



<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The exhibits to this registration statement are listed in the
Exhibit Index included elsewhere herein.</p>



<p class=MsoNormal><u>Item 9 - Undertakings</u></p>



<p class=MsoNormal><b>Rule 415 Offering</b></p>



<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The undersigned hereby undertakes:</p>



<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.5in'>(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To file,
during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:</p>



<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'>(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To include any prospectus required
by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;</p>



<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-1.0in'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration statement;</p>



<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'>(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;</p>



<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'>provided, however, that paragraph (1)(i) and
(1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section
13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.</p>



<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.5in'>(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That, for
the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial <i>bona fide </i>offering
thereof.</p>



<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.5in'>(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To remove
from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.</p>



<p class=MsoNormal style='page-break-after:avoid'><b>Filings Incorporating Subsequent
Exchange Act Documents by Reference</b></p>



<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial <i>bona fide </i>offering
thereof.</p>



<p class=MsoNormal><b>Indemnification of Directors and Officers</b></p>



<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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 as expressed in the
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.&nbsp; 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.</p>

PART II - INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3 - Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference
The following documents and portions of documents filed by
Petroleum Development Corporation ("PDC") with the Commission are hereby
incorporated into this Registration Statement by reference:
(a)          
PDC's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004;
(b)        PDC's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005;

Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on January 10, 2005; January 27, 2005;

March 11, 2005; March 16, 2005; March 23, 2005; March 31, 2005; April 7, 2005;
April 20, 2005; May 2, 2005; May 6, 2005; May 19, 2005; March 31, 2005; June 8,
2005; June 10, 2005 and June 24, 2005; and
(d)        The description
of PDC's Common Stock as set forth under the caption "Description of Capital
Stock" presented on pages 43-44 in the prospectus portion of PDC's Form S-2
Registration Statement, SEC File No. 333-36369, filed with the Commission on
October 31, 1997 and PDC's SEC Rule 424(b)(3) prospectus dated November 4,
1997, filed with the Commission on or about November 4, 1997.
PDC additionally incorporates by reference herein all
documents subsequently filed by PDC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, prior to the filing
of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all the securities offered
have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, and
deems such documents to be incorporated by reference into this Registration
Statement and to be part of this Registration Statement from the dates of
filing such documents.  Copies of these documents will not be filed with this
Registration Statement.  Any statement contained herein or in a document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to
be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the
extent that such statement is modified or superseded by a subsequently filed
document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference into this
Registration Statement.  Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not
be deemed to constitute a part of this Registration Statement except as so
modified or superseded.
Item 4 - Description of Securities
This Item is omitted because PDC's Common Stock is registered
under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
Item 5 - Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Members of Duane Morris LLP, counsel for PDC, own shares of PDC common
stock.  The fair market value of this stock ownership is less than $50,000. 
Under the regulations of the Commission, Duane Morris LLP is not deemed to have
a substantial interest in PDC.
Item 6 - Indemnification of Directors and Officers
PDC's
bylaws
contain provisions providing that PDC
shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he
or she is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of PDC, or is or
was serving at the request of PDC as a director, officer, employee, or other
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other
enterprise, against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with that proceeding, if that
person acted in good faith and in a manner that person reasonably believed to
be in the best interests of PDC, and in actions by PDC with such care,
including reasonable inquiry, as an ordinarily prudent person in a like
position would use under similar circumstances, and, in the case of a criminal
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of that person was
unlawful.
To the extent that any director, officer, employee or other
agent of PDC has been successful on the merits in defense of any proceeding
referred to in the bylaws, that person shall be indemnified against expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by that person in connection with that
proceeding.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence, any indemnification
may be made by PDC only if authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or other agent is
proper in the circumstances because that person has met the applicable standard
of conduct set forth in the bylaws by (a) a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who are not parties to the proceeding; (b) approval by
the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of PDC represented and voting
at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present (which shares voting
affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required quorum); or
(c) the court in which the proceeding is or was pending, upon application made
by PDC or the subject person or the attorney or other person rendering the
services in connection with the defense, whether or not the application by the
subject person, attorney or other person is opposed by PDC.
Expenses incurred in defending any proceeding may be advanced
by PDC before the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or other agent
of PDC to repay the amount of the advance unless it shall be determined
ultimately that the subject person is entitled to be indemnified as authorized
by the bylaws.
PDC's
Articles of Incorporation
provide that no
director or officer of PDC shall be personally liable to PDC or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or
officer, except for liability for (i) an act or omission that involves
intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law; (ii) an act or
omission for which the liability of a director or officer is expressly provided
for by an applicable statute, including the liability for payment of
distributions in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statues; and
(iii) any other act, omission, transaction or breach of duty as to which any
applicable statute, rule or regulation provides that the liability of directors
or officers may not be eliminated or limited.
Item 7 - Exemption from Registration Claimed
This Item is omitted because it is not applicable.
Item 8 - Exhibits
The exhibits to this registration statement are listed in the
Exhibit Index included elsewhere herein.
Item 9 - Undertakings
Rule 415 Offering
The undersigned hereby undertakes:
(1)        To file,
during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i)         To include any prospectus required
by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)        To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration statement;
(iii)       To include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraph (1)(i) and
(1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section
13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)        That, for
the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering
thereof.
(3)        To remove
from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
Filings Incorporating Subsequent
Exchange Act Documents by Reference
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering
thereof.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
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 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 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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to 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 for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, in the City of Bridgeport, State of West Virginia, on the ___
day of July 2005.
