DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

These Post-Effective Amendments (these “Post-Effective Amendments”), filed by Toreador Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), remove from registration all securities registered that remain unsold under the following registration statements (each, a “Registration Statement,” and collectively, the “Registration Statements”) filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”):

On August 9, 2011, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Contribution dated August 9, 2011, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, ZaZa Energy, LLC, ZaZa Energy Corporation (“New ZaZa”) and Thor Merger Sub Corporation (“Thor Merger Sub”), providing for, among other things, the merger of Thor Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Zaza. On February 15, 2012, at a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company, the stockholders voted to approve the Merger, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Merger became effective on February 21, 2012, pursuant to the certificate of merger filed with the Secretary of the State of Delaware.

As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statements. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration all securities registered under the Registration Statements that remain unsold as of the date of these Post-Effective Amendments and terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statements.
