                                  PART I

Item 1.  Financial Statements

The unaudited Financial Statements of Atlas-Energy for the Nineties-Public
#6 Ltd. (the "Partnership") for the period January 1, 1999 to June 30, 1999

Item 2.  Description of Business

The Partnership has placed into production 57.5 net wells to
the Clinton/Medina formation in Mercer and Lawrence counties, Pennsylvania
and Stark and Trumbull counties in Ohio. As of June 30, 1999, all 57.5
net wells are in production. The first quarterly distribution was on
July 10, 1999 for natural gas production during January, February, March
and April, 1999.

Natural gas sales revenue for the three months was $507,244 which includes
landowner royalties.  Expenses for this period include $75.00 per month
per well for administrative costs and $275.00 per month per well for pumpers
fees.

For the next twelve months management believes that the Partnership has
adequate capital.  No other wells will be drilled and, therefore, no
additional funds will be required.

Although management does not anticipate that the Partnership will have to
do so, any additional funds which may be required will be obtained from
production revenues from Partnership wells or from borrowings by the
Partnership from Atlas or its affiliates, although Atlas is not
contractually committed to make such a loan.  No borrowings will be
obtained from third parties.

             NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

          ATLAS-ENERGY FOR THE NINETIES--PUBLIC #7 LTD.
                   A PENNSYLVANIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                            June 30, 1999

1.      INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements as of June 30, 1999 and for the six months then
ended have been prepared by the management of the Partnership without
audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Partnership believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited December 31, 1998
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
presentation have been included.

2.      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Partnership uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil
and gas activities.  Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas
properties and drill and equip wells are capitalized.  Oil and gas
properties are periodically assessed and when unamortized costs exceed
expected future net cash flows, a loss is recognized by a charge to income.

Capitalized costs of oil and gas wells and leases are depreciated,
depleted and amortized by the unit of production method.

3.  REPORTING ON THE COSTS OF START-UP ACTIVITIES

In 1998, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 98-5 ("SOP 98-5"), Reporting
on the Costs of Start-Up Activities.  This statement requires costs of
start-up activities and organization costs, as defined, to be expensed as
incurred.  The partnership was required to adopt the provisions of SOP 98-5
effective January 1, 1999 and as a result has written-off the unamortized
balance of Organizational/Syndication costs as of that date.

In its previously-filed Form 10QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the
Partnership incorrectly recorded the impact of the adoption of SOP 98-5 as a
direct charge to Partners' capital. Although the balance sheet at March 31,
1999 included in such Form 10QSB is correct, the Statement of Income for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 should have included the following captions
and amounts:

Loss before cumulative effect of change in acctg. principle $    (1,180)
Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle          (1,798,253)
                                                             -----------
Net Los                                                     $ (1.799,433)

This non-cash charge has no effect on reported cash flows.  No Organizational/
Syndication costs were recorded by the Partnership during the six months June
30, 1999.


                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
                    ATLAS-ENERGY FOR THE NINETIES-PUBLIC #7 LTD.


Management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Six Months Ended June 30, 1999
- -------------------------------------------

The Partnership commenced production in January, 1999. Natural gas sales
revenue for the six months ended June 30,1999 amounted to $610,607 based
on gas production of 324,844 Mcf.  The average sales price for gas
production during this period was $2.15/Mcf.


Quarter Ended June 30, 1999

Natural gas sales revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1999 amounted to
$507,244. Gas production was 266,651 Mcf; and the average sales price was
$2.18/Mcf.


Financial Condition
- -------------------

Liquidity
- ---------

Cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended
June 30, 1999 results primarily from  sales of natural gas. The
partnership's working capital increased from $29,592 at December 31, 1998
to $491,252 at June 30, 1999. The increase is attributable to the
commencement of natural gas production for new wells turned on-line
during the current quarter, which resulted in higher receivables in
connection with sales of gas produced.

Capital Resources
- -----------------

There were no new material commitments for capital expenditures during the
period and the Partnership does not expect any in the foreseeable future.
