Item 5.   Other Events

          On December 20, 2001, ONEOK, Inc. announced it has revised its
          earnings guidance. Net income excluding the effect of the Oklahoma
          Corporation Commission (OCC) charge is estimated to be in the range of
          $1.20 per diluted share of common stock. This revision in guidance is
          prompted primarily by lower commodity prices and margins coming from
          the company's natural gas gathering and processing segment and the
          impact of warmer-than-normal weather on energy prices and the
          distribution segment. Net income is estimated to be in the range of
          $1.02 per diluted share of common stock including the impact of the
          OCC charge.

          In addition, ONEOK, Inc. updated its exposure to Enron. ONEOK had
          previously announced the company's estimated exposure to Enron to be
          less than $40 million. ONEOK has not received payment from Enron on
          $14 million of November and December 2001 commodity transactions that
          were to settle in late November and early December 2001. Enron's
          filing of the voluntary bankruptcy proceeding may also have created an
          event of technical default related to various financing leases tied to
          ONEOK's Bushton gas processing plant. Enron is one of three guarantors
          of these Busthon plant leases. However, ONEOK is the primary guarantor
          and will continue to make all payments due under the leases. ONEOK has
          notified the lessor and indenture trustee under the leases of the
          potential technical default.
