Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the initial statement on Schedule 13D. As discussed in Item 5(c) below, on February 9, 2004 the Reporting Persons disposed to St. Mary all shares of St. Mary common stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, and thus the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of St. Mary common stock. Accordingly, this is the Reporting Persons' final amendment to the Schedule 13D and is an exit filing. Item 1. Security and Issuer. This statement on Schedule 13D relates to shares of common stock, $.01 par value, of St. Mary Land & Exploration Company, a Delaware corporation ("St. Mary"). The address of the principal executive offices of St. Mary is 1776 Lincoln Street, Suite 700, Denver, Colorado 80203. Item 2. Identity and Background. This statement on Schedule 13D is being filed jointly on behalf of the following persons (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"): 1. Flying J Oil & Gas Inc., a Utah corporation; 2. Big West Oil & Gas Inc., a Utah corporation; 3. Flying J Inc., a Utah corporation; and 4. Flying J Corp., a Utah corporation. Schedule A to this statement on Schedule 13D, which is incorporated herein by reference, provides additional information about each Reporting Person and (a) the executive officers and directors of such Reporting Person, (b) the persons that may be deemed to control such Reporting Person (such Reporting Person's "Controlling Persons") and (c) the executive officers and directors, if any, of such Controlling Persons, as required by Instruction C to Schedule 13D. None of the Reporting Persons, and to the best of each Reporting Person's knowledge none of the executive officers or directors of such Reporting Person, has during the last five years been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. 6 Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. As discussed in Item 5(c) below, on February 9, 2004 the Reporting Persons disposed to St. Mary all shares of St. Mary common stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, and thus the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of St. Mary common stock. Accordingly, this is the Reporting Persons' final amendment to the Schedule 13D and is an exit filing. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. As discussed in Item 5(c) below, on February 9, 2004 the Reporting Persons disposed to St. Mary all shares of St. Mary common stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, and thus the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of St. Mary common stock. Accordingly, this is the Reporting Persons' final amendment to the Schedule 13D and is an exit filing. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. The stock repurchase transaction described in Item 5(c) below has resulted in the Reporting Persons owning no interest in the securities of St. Mary as of February 9, 2004. (a) As of February 9, 2004, the Reporting Persons do not beneficially own nor may they be deemed to beneficially own any shares of St. Mary common stock.

(b) As of February 9, 2004, none of the Reporting Persons holds or shares or may be deemed to hold or share voting or dispositive power of any shares of St. Mary common stock. (c) On February 9, 2004, St. Mary repurchased from Flying J Oil & Gas Inc. and Big West Oil & Gas Inc. a total of 3,380,818 shares of St. Mary common stock, $.01 par value per share, of which 1,690,409 shares were held in the name of Flying J Oil & Gas Inc. and 1,690,409 shares were held in the name of Big West Oil & Gas Inc., for a total of $91,000,000, or $26.92 per share, pursuant to a stock repurchase 7 agreement dated February 6, 2004 and accepted by St. Mary on February 9, 2004 (the "Agreement"). The Agreement is furnished as an exhibit to this amendment to statement on Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference. The summaries of the Agreement provided above and elsewhere in this statement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Agreement. Such shares of St. Mary common stock repurchased by St. Mary pursuant to the Agreement represent all shares of St. Mary common stock that were beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons immediately prior to the consummation of the stock repurchase transaction under the Agreement. In connection with the stock repurchase transaction, Flying J Oil & Gas Inc. and Big West Oil & Gas Inc. repaid a non-recourse loan of $71,593,795 made by St. Mary to Flying J Oil & Gas Inc. and Big West Oil & Gas Inc., and accrued interest on the loan was forgiven. Also in connection with the stock repurchase transaction, a Put and Call Option Agreement with St. Mary pursuant to which (a) St. Mary had granted a put option whereby Flying J Oil & Gas Inc. and Big West Oil & Gas Inc. could elect to require St. Mary to purchase all (and not a portion) of the total of 3,380,818 shares of St. Mary common stock issued to Flying J Oil & Gas Inc. and Big West Oil & Gas Inc. for a total purchase price of $71,593,795 together with interest thereon at the rate of Libor plus 2% for a period of up to 30 months after January 29, 2003, and (b) Flying J Oil & Gas Inc. and Big West Oil & Gas Inc. had granted a call option whereby St. Mary could elect to require Flying J Oil & Gas Inc. and Big West Oil & Gas Inc. to sell to St. Mary all (and not a portion) of the total of 3,380,818 shares of St. Mary common stock issued to Flying J Oil & Gas Inc. and Big West Oil & Gas Inc. for a total sales price of $97,447,094.00, was terminated.
