1.  Accounting Policies 

    Reference is hereby made to the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K
    for 1996, which contains a summary of major accounting policies followed by
    the Partnership in the preparation of its financial statements.  These
    policies were also followed in preparing the quarterly report included
    herein. 

2.  Basis of Presentation

    The Management of the Partnership believes that all adjustments (consisting
    of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to a fair statement of the
    results of such periods have been made.  The results of operations for the
    six months ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the
    results to be expected for the full year. 

3.  Oil and Gas Properties

    Oil and Gas Properties are reported on the successful efforts method.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

    Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Partnership was funded on December 31, 1996 with initial Limited
    and Additional General Partner contributions of $15,301,726 and the
    Managing General Partner contributed $3,328,126 in accordance with the
    Agreement.  Syndication and management fee costs of $1,989,224 were
    incurred leaving available capital of $16,640,628 for Partnership
    activities.

         The Partnership began exploration and development activities
    subsequent to the funding of the Partnership and completed well drilling
    activities by March 31, 1997.  Eighty-four wells have been drilled, of
    which seventy-nine have been completed as producing wells.

         Operations will be conducted with available funds and revenues
    generated from oil and gas activities.  No bank borrowings are anticipated. 
    
         The Partnership had net working capital at June 30, 1997 of $251,297.

         The Partnership's revenues from oil and gas will be affected by
    changes in prices.  As a result of changes in federal regulations, gas
    prices are highly dependent on the balance between supply and demand.  The
    Partnership's gas sales prices are subject to increase and decrease based
    on various market sensitive indices.  

    Results of Operations

    Three Months Ended June 30, 1997

         The partnership turned into production thirty-five wells in addition
    to the twenty-four wells turned into production during the first quarter. 
    This makes a total of fifty-nine of the Partnership's seventy-nine
    productive wells producing natural gas as of June 30, 1997.  The remaining
    twenty wells are scheduled to be put into service during the third quarter
    of 1997.  The Partnership's first cash distribution commenced during the
    second quarter of 1997.

    Six Months Ended June 30, 1997

         The Partnership began and completed exploration and development
    activities during the first six months of 1997.  Oil and gas sales
    commenced during the first quarter and cash distributions to the partners
    commenced during the second quarter.
