Item 1. Security and Issuer.

The class of equity securities to which this Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) relates is the common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Common Stock”), of PrimeEnergy Corporation, formerly K.R.M. Petroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), whose principal executive offices are at One Landmark Square, Stamford, CT 06901.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

McJunkin Red Man Corporation, formerly McJunkin Corporation, a West Virginia corporation (“McJunkin Red Man”), is a North American distributor of pipe, valves and fittings. McJunkin Red Man’s principal executive offices are located at 2 Houston Center, 909 Fannin, Suite 3100, Houston, Texas 77010-1011.

Information relating to the directors and executive officers of McJunkin Red Man is set forth in Schedule A to this statement and is incorporated herein by reference.

During the last five years, neither McJunkin Red Man nor, to McJunkin Red Man’s best knowledge, any of the persons listed on Schedule A, has been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) 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.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

           McJunkin Red Man purchased 1,127,221 shares of Common Stock on September 10, 1984 in a privately negotiated transaction.  The funds used for the acquisition of the shares of Common Stock were obtained from McJunkin Red Man’s then existing lines of credit with banks.  McJunkin Red Man utilized credit available under lines of credit with the following banks: Morgan Guaranty Trust Company, Chase Manhattan Bank, Pittsburgh National Bank, Charleston National Bank, North Carolina National Bank, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Bank of Dunbar and National Bank of Commerce.  At the time of such purchase of the shares of Common Stock such shares represented approximately 49.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.  From time to time after the acquisition of the shares of Common Stock, McJunkin Red Man sold an aggregate of 503,700 shares of Common Stock.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

McJunkin Red Man reported that the original purpose of the purchase of the shares of Common Stock by McJunkin Red Man was to acquire an equity position in the Company which could have permitted McJunkin Red Man to seek to control the Company. McJunkin Red Man never sought to seek to control the Company.

On January 31, 2007, McJunkin Red Man was acquired by affiliates of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger among McJunkin Red Man, McJunkin Red Man Holding Corporation and Hg Acquisition Corp. (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, McJunkin Red Man has agreed to sell the shares of Common Stock reported in this Schedule 13D (the “Shares”) and remit an amount equal to 95% of the net proceeds of such sale less 40% of the taxable gain therefrom to those persons listed on Schedule B hereto who were the record holders of shares of McJunkin Red Man immediately prior to the consummation of the merger. In accordance with its obligations under the Merger Agreement, McJunkin Red Man is exploring a potential sale of the Shares in privately negotiated transactions.  There can be no assurance that such a sale of all or any portion of the Shares will take place.  The preceding description of the Merger Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibits 2-4 hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference.

According to the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, since 1993, the Company has been engaged in a stock repurchase program pursuant to which it has, from time to time, repurchased outstanding shares of Common Stock. As a result of repurchases made pursuant to such repurchase program, the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock has been reduced and McJunkin Red Man may be deemed to beneficially own in excess of 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and accordingly is no longer entitled to report its ownership of shares of Common Stock on a Schedule 13G.

Except as set forth above, McJunkin Red Man does not have any present plans or proposals that would relate to, or result in, any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) – (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)  
McJunkin Red Man owns 623,521 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 20.5% of the 3,040,872 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 11, 2009 based on information in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2009, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 20, 2009.

(b)  
McJunkin Red Man has the sole power to vote and dispose of the Shares.

(c)  
Not applicable.

(d)  
On January 31, 2007, McJunkin Red Man was acquired by affiliates of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. pursuant to the Merger Agreement.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, McJunkin Red Man has agreed to sell the Shares and remit an amount equal to 95% of the net proceeds of such sale less 40% of the taxable gain therefrom to those persons listed on Schedule B hereto who were the record holders of shares of McJunkin Red Man immediately prior to the consummation of the merger.  In accordance with its obligations under the Merger Agreement, McJunkin Red Man is exploring a potential sale of the Shares in privately negotiated transactions.  There can be no assurance that such a sale of all or any portion of the Shares will take place. The preceding description of the Merger Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibits 2-4 hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference.

(e)  
Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

On October 7, 1987, K.R.M. Petroleum Corporation and The American Energy Group entered into a stock purchase and option agreement  (the “Stock Purchase and Option Agreement”) which contains an agreement relating to representatives designated by McJunkin Red Man to be nominated for as candidates for the Company’s board of directors. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase and Option Agreement, 2,900,000 shares of Common Stock were sold to The American Energy Group and K.R.M. Petroleum Corporation (now PrimeEnergy Corporation) agreed to use its best efforts to cause two (2) persons designated by McJunkin Red Man to be nominated and elected to its board of directors for as long as McJunkin Red Man owns 10% or more of the shares of Common Stock of the Company. However, there are currently no representatives of McJunkin Red Man who serve as directors of the Company.

On January 31, 2007, McJunkin Red Man was acquired by affiliates of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. pursuant to the Merger Agreement.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, McJunkin Red Man has agreed to sell the Shares and remit an amount equal to 95% of the net proceeds of such sale less 40% of the taxable gain therefrom to those persons listed on Schedule B hereto who were the record holders of shares of McJunkin Red Man immediately prior to the consummation of the merger.  In accordance with its obligations under the Merger Agreement, McJunkin Red Man is exploring a potential sale of the Shares in privately negotiated transactions.  There can be no assurance that such a sale of all or any portion of the Shares will take place.
 
The preceding descriptions of the Stock Purchase and Option Agreement and Merger Agreement are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 1 and 2-4 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
