1.Accounting Policies

Reference is hereby made to the Partnership's Annual Report on Form
   10-K for 1999, which contains a summary of significant 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 nine months ended September 30, 2000
   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 with initial Limited and
        Additional General Partner contributions of $20,525,261 and
        the Managing General Partner contributed $4,464,244 in
        accordance with the Agreement.  Syndication and management
        fee costs of $2,668,284 were incurred leaving available
        capital of $22,321,221 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, 1999.
        Nintey-seven wells were drilled, of which eighty-nine were
        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 September 30,
        2000 of $308,643.

             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 September 30, 2000

             Revenue and expenses during the third quarter of 2000
        include natural gas sales and related expenses for all of the
        Partnership's wells.  During the same period in 1999 all of
        the wells were not yet turned into line and producing for the
        entire quarter.  While the Partnership experienced net income
        of $63,830, depreciation, depletion and amortization is a
        non-cash expense and therefore the Partnership distributed
        $289,348 to the partners during the third quarter of 2000.

        Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared with 1999

             Revenue and expenses during the first nine months of
        2000 include natural gas sales and related expenses for all
        of the Partnership's wells.  During the same period in 1999
        all of the wells were not turned into line and producing for
        the entire period.  While the Partnership experienced net
        income of $323,400, depreciation, depletion, and amortization
        is a non-cash expense and therefore the Partnership
        distributed $1,020,103 to the partners during the first nine
        months of 2000.

        New Accounting Standard

             Statement of Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting
        for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No.
        133), was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board
        in June, 1998.  Statement 133 standardized the accounting for
        derivative instruments, including certain derivative
        instruments embedded in other contracts.  SFAS No. 133 which
        was amended by SFAS 138 is effective for years beginning
        after June 15, 2000; however, early adoption is permitted.
        On adoption, the provisions of SFAS No. 133 must be applied
        prospectively.  At the present time, the Partnership cannot
        determine the impact that SFAS No. 133 will have on its
        financial statements upon adoption, as such impact will be
        based on the extent of derivative instruments, such as
        natural gas futures and option contracts, outstanding at the
        date of adoption.
