All defined terms under Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-X shall have their 
statutorily-prescribed meanings when used in this report.  Quantities of 
natural gas are expressed in this report in terms of thousand cubic feet 
(Mcf), million cubic feet (MMcf) or billion cubic feet (Bcf).  Oil is 
quantified in terms of barrels (bbls), thousands of barrels (Mbbls) and 
millions of barrels (MMbbls). Natural gas is compared to oil in terms of 
barrels of oil equivalent (boe) or million barrels of oil equivalent 
(MMboe). Oil and natural gas liquids are compared with natural gas in 
terms of thousand cubic feet equivalent (Mcfe) and million cubic feet 
equivalent (MMcfe).  One barrel of oil is the energy equivalent of six Mcf 
of natural gas. Daily oil and gas production is expressed in terms of 
barrels of oil per day (bopd) and thousands of cubic feet of gas per day 
(Mcfd), respectively. With respect to information relating to the 
Partnership's working interest in wells or acreage, "net" oil and gas 
wells or acreage is determined by multiplying gross wells or acreage by 
the Partnership's working interest therein. Unless otherwise specified, 
all references to wells and acres are gross.


PART I

ITEM 1.	BUSINESS

General

	Apache Petroleum Limited Partnership 1980-I (the Registrant or the 
Partnership) is a limited partnership composed of Apache Corporation 
(Apache) as the general partner and purchasers of Partnership units as 
limited partners.  The Partnership was formed on April 3, 1980, under the 
laws of the state of Minnesota.

	The Partnership's business is the participation in exploration, 
development and production activities on oil and gas leases.  The 
Partnership's planned drilling operations have been completed and future 
drilling activities will generally be caused by adjoining owners' 
activities which warrant drilling on the Partnership's acreage.  If 
drilling opportunities arise, the Partnership expects to finance the 
activities through the use of oil and gas revenues or through a farmout to 
other parties.  The choice will depend on the terms available at that time. 
 In 1995, capital expenditures were largely directed to maintaining 
production from existing properties.

	Under the terms of the limited partnership agreement, the limited 
partners contribute funds to pay for intangible drilling and completion 
costs, delay rentals and certain other costs which are deductible as 
expenses for federal income tax reporting purposes. Apache, as the general 
partner, contributes funds to pay for leasehold and tangible drilling and 
completion equipment, other than production facilities.  Post-completion 
production facilities costs are borne by the limited partners and the 
general partner in the same proportion as the revenue they receive. After 
giving effect to the exchange offers discussed in Note (1), "Organization," 
to the Partnership's financial statements included under Item 8 below, the 
limited partners and the general partner receive 27 percent and 73 percent, 
respectively, of the revenue.

	Apache, as general partner, is solely responsible for the conduct of 
the Partnership's operations.  Apache uses a portion of its staff and 
facilities for this purpose and is reimbursed for actual costs paid on 
behalf of the Partnership, as well as for a portion of its general, 
administrative and overhead costs properly allocable to the Partnership.

Business Development During 1995

	During the year ended December 31, 1995, the business of the 
Partnership consisted primarily of participating in the production of oil 
and gas.  Natural gas prices remained volatile in 1995 with the 
Partnership's average realized gas price dropping $.19 per Mcf, or 11 
percent, from year-end 1994 to March 31, 1995.  This price decline, 
combined with unfavorable reserve revisions, resulted in the Partnership 
recording write-downs in the carrying value of oil and gas properties 
totaling $675,126 during the year.  Driven by significant increases in spot 
prices during the fourth quarter of 1995, the Partnership's average oil and 
gas prices for 1995 each rose nine percent from a year ago to $16.68 per 
barrel and $1.84 per Mcf, respectively.  Management believes that, absent a 
comprehensive U.S. energy policy, oil prices will continue to fluctuate in 
response to changes in the policies of the Organization of Petroleum 
Exporting Countries (OPEC), events in the Middle East and events in certain 
non-OPEC countries. Management also believes that gas prices will remain 
volatile and may fluctuate due to market perceptions of supply and demand.

	During 1995, the Partnership sold its interest in 30 wells located 
primarily in the Rocky Mountain region of the United States for $588,201.  
The properties sold were primarily oil wells with high operating costs.  
Due to the properties' distance from markets, both oil and gas sold at a 
discount compared to oil and gas production sold in the Partnership's other 
areas of interest.  The properties sold constituted 31 percent and one 
percent of the Partnership's oil and gas proved reserves, respectively, at 
year-end 1994, or approximately five percent of the Partnership's proved 
reserves on an energy equivalent basis.

	As discussed in Note (6), "Major Customer Information," to the 
Partnership's financial statements under Item 8 below, Natural Gas 
Clearinghouse (NGC) purchased, at prevailing index prices, approximately 77 
percent of the Partnership's gas production in 1995.  In September 1995, 
Apache's contract with NGC was terminated and the Partnership found 
alternative customers to purchase its gas at prevailing index prices.  The 
Partnership expects to continue receive index prices, which indices are 
based generally on prevailing spot market prices at the relevant delivery 
points.  The Partnership believes that alternative purchasers and marketing 
arrangements exist for the sale of its production and changes in purchasers 
would have little or no impact on sales.

	The write-down of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and gas 
properties during 1995 (see "Reserve Value Ceiling Test", below) was a non-
cash charge and did not impact the Partnership's short-term ability to make 
distributions to its Partners.  However, due to declines in product 
production which have reduced net cash provided by operating activities, 
outstanding gas imbalance obligations and certain short-term and long-term 
commitments of the Partnership, distributions to limited partners declined 
to $50 per unit in 1995 from $300 per unit in 1994 and $800 per unit in 
1993.

	As of December 31, 1995, Apache owned 34 percent of the outstanding 
limited partnership units.  Apache did not purchase any additional 
Partnership units during 1995.

Reserve Value Ceiling Test

	Oil and gas producers that conduct their financial reporting under the 
full cost accounting rules are subject to Securities and Exchange 
Commission (SEC) rules that require quarterly "ceiling test" calculations. 
 This test requires a write-down when the capitalized cost of oil and gas 
properties exceeds the present value of proved reserves, plus the lower of 
cost or market value for unproved properties.  The test is applied at the 
end of each fiscal quarter and requires a write-down if the "ceiling" is 
exceeded, even if prices decline only for a short period of time.  The 
Partnership incurred write-downs in the first and third quarters of 1995 
totaling $675,126.  The write-downs primarily reflected the impact of low 
gas prices at the end of each of these periods and significant reserve 
revisions.  A significant deterioration of oil and gas prices from year-end 
levels would likely result in additional write-downs during 1996.

Environmental Matters

	The Partnership, as an owner or lessee of interests in oil and gas 
properties, is subject to various federal, state and local laws and 
regulations relating to the discharge of materials into, and protection of, 
the environment.  These laws and regulations may, among other things, 
impose liability on the lessee under an oil and gas lease for the cost of 
pollution clean-up resulting from operations, subject the lessee to 
liability for pollution damages, require suspension or cessation of 
operations in affected areas and impose restrictions on the injection of 
liquids into subsurface aquifers that may contaminate groundwater.

	During 1995, the Partnership made payments totaling $280,000 for 
environmental remediation.

	Except as set forth above, the Partnership does not believe that 
compliance with federal, state or local provisions regulating the discharge 
of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of 
the environment, will have a material adverse effect upon its capital 
expenditures, earnings or competitive position, but there is no assurance 
that changes in or additions to laws or regulations regarding the protection of
the environment will not have such an impact.

Competition

	The oil and gas industry is highly competitive.  Apache and the 
Partnership frequently compete for marketing agreements against companies 
with substantially larger financial and other resources than either entity 
possesses.  Because oil and gas are fungible commodities, the principal 
form of competition with respect to product sales is price competition.  
Apache and the Partnership strive to maintain the lowest finding and 
production costs possible to maximize earnings.

ITEM 2.	PROPERTIES

	Acreage is held by the Partnership pursuant to leases or similar 
contractual relationships through continuing production of oil and gas from 
the wells drilled thereon.  A summary of the number of producing wells with 
proved reserves and gross acreage, as of December 31, 1995, is set forth 
below:

</TABLE>
	It is the Partnership's policy, subject to the availability of funds, 
to make quarterly cash distributions.  Due to the Partnership"s declining 
production, outstanding gas imbalance obligations and certain short-term 
and long-term commitments, no cash distributions were made during the last 
three quarters of 1995.  These cash distributions should not be compared 
with dividends paid by corporations on capital stock in that dividends paid 
by corporations are taxable as ordinary income while distributions by the 
Partnership are generally treated as a return of capital.

ITEM 7.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

DISSOLUTION CONSIDERATIONS

	Apache, as General Partner, is considering the dissolution of the 
Partnership.  This consideration is in view of diminishing oil and gas 
production and the related reduction in net cash provided by operating 
activities and disproportionately high administrative costs necessary to 
maintain the Partnership.  Apache is monitoring the Partnership"s average 
realized prices and reviewing the potential for reserve additions through 
recompletions and workover operations to determine when liquidation of the 
program is appropriate.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

1995 Compared to 1994
- ---------------------

	The Partnership reported a net loss of $637,209 for the year ended 
December 31, 1995, compared to a net loss of $3,647,102 for the comparable 
period of 1994.  Each period was negatively impacted by write-downs of oil 
and gas property totaling $675,126 in 1995 and $3,030,150 in 1994.

	Under SEC rules, entities that follow full cost accounting methods are 
required to make quarterly "ceiling test" calculations.  This test requires 
a write-down when the capitalized cost of oil and gas properties exceeds 
the present value of estimated future net revenues from proved reserves, 
discounted at 10 percent, plus the lower of cost or fair market value for 
unproved properties.  The Partnership incurred write-downs in the first and 
third quarters of 1995 totaling $675,126.  The write-downs primarily 
reflected the impact of lower gas prices at the end of each of these 
periods and unfavorable reserve revisions during the year.

	The Partnership's revenue from the sale of oil and gas declined from 
$1,061,037 during 1994 to $934,105 during 1995.  This decline was primarily 
attributable to declines in oil and gas production, which were partially 
offset by increases in the Partnership's average realized prices.

	The Partnership's 1995 oil production declined 36 percent from a year 
ago to 46 bopd, while natural gas production decreased six percent to 976 
Mcfd in 1995, compared to 1,042 Mcfd in 1994.  These declines were due to 
the sale of certain oil and gas properties during the second half of 1995 
and the natural depletion of the Partnership's aging wells.  Oil and 
natural gas prices received during 1995 averaged $16.68 per barrel and 
$1.84 per Mcf, respectively.  This represented a nine percent increase in 
both oil and natural gas prices when compared to 1994.  Due to oil and gas 
price volatility, the Partnership is not in a position to predict whether 
1996 average prices will be higher or lower than those received in 1995.

	Recurring depreciation, depletion and amortization expense for the
year ended 1995 was less than a year ago due to the write-downs of oil and gas 
properties and higher average oil and gas prices.

	Lease operating costs totaled $417,912 in 1995, and remained 
relatively constant when compared to $411,328 in 1994.  Due to the decline in 
production rates, costs per equivalent unit of production increased to $.92 
per Mcfe in 1995 compared to $.76 per Mcfe in 1994.

	Administrative expenses in 1995 of $184,246 were up slightly from 
$180,633 in 1994.



Prior Year Comparative Information
- ----------------------------------

	Oil and gas sales for 1994 decreased 30 percent from the respective 
period in 1993. This decrease was the result of declines in production and 
lower product prices.  During 1994, oil prices fell nine percent to $15.27 
and oil production decreased to 72 bopd, from 106 bopd in 1993, as a result 
of the natural depletion of the Partnership's wells.  The average realized 
price for natural gas decreased 11 percent to $1.69 due to lower spot 
market prices in 1994.  Reflecting the depletion of reserves, 1994 gas 
production fell six percent from 1993.

	Depreciation, depletion and amortization as a percent of revenue 
increased from 31 percent in 1993 to 35 percent in 1994.  Lower oil and gas 
prices and unfavorable reserve revisions in 1994 contributed to the 
increase in the recurring amortization rate.

	Lease operating expense decreased 30 percent to $411,328 in 1994 
reflecting fewer wells producing in 1994, primarily oil wells.  Oil wells 
generally produced at a higher cost than gas wells and, therefore, costs 
per equivalent units of production decreased from $.92 per Mcfe in 1993 to 
$.76 per Mcfe.  Administrative expenses for the Partnership increased less 
than one percent during 1994.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

	The Partnership's liquidity is solely dependent upon its net cash
flows from operating activities.  During the past three years, the Partnership 
has not had any debt service obligations or any other significant demands 
on its net cash flows except for recompletion and workovers conducted to 
enhance production or correct mechanical problems.  Accordingly, the 
Partnership's net cash flows have been used primarily to make cash 
distributions to the partners and to fund limited developmental drilling 
activity.  The net cash provided by operating activities during 1995 and 
1994 decreased 118 percent and 40 percent, respectively, from the preceding 
year, primarily as a result of the production and pricing declines 
discussed above.  The reduction in cash flow during 1995 also reflects the 
Partnership's payment of environmental remediation liabilities accrued in 
1994 and 1993.

	The Partnership's ratio of current assets to current liabilities at 
December 31, 1995 increased to 4.23:1.

	Capital expenditures for recompletions and any other future
development drilling activity will be funded by a portion of the cash 
generated by operating activities or through farmout arrangements at no 
cost to the Partnership.  The Partnership's capital expenditures in 1996 
are not expected to be significantly different from amounts incurred in 1995.

	During 1995, the Partnership sold its interest in 30 wells located 
primarily in the Rocky Mountain region of the United States for $588,201.  
The properties sold were primarily oil wells with higher operating costs.  
Due to the properties' distance from markets, both oil and gas sold at a 
discount compared to oil and gas production sold in the Partnership's other 
areas of interest.  The properties sold constituted 31 percent and one 
percent of the Partnership's oil and gas proved reserves, respectively, at 
year-end 1994, or approximately five percent of the Partnership's proved 
reserves on an energy equivalent basis.

	Based on reserve estimates, the Partnership has identified certain 
properties on which remaining gas reserves may not be sufficient to permit 
existing gas imbalances to be made up with production from such properties. 
 At the end of 1995, the Partnership's estimated liability for gas 
imbalances in excess of remaining reserves remained unchanged from 1994.  
Since December 31, 1994, no material changes occurred in imbalance volumes 
or pricing that the Partnership believes would materially impact the 
current estimate, therefore no adjustments were recorded during 1995.  The 
deferred liability will be reduced when the settlement of imbalances 
requires cash payments to under-delivered owners in these properties or 
volumes are otherwise recouped by underproduced owners from other 
partnership wells.

	Reflecting declining revenue, which reduced net cash provided by 
operating activities, the gas imbalance obligation and certain short-term 
and long-term commitments of the Partnership, cash distributions to limited 
partners dropped 83 percent in 1995, declining from $300 per unit in 1994 
to $50 per unit in 1995. Distributions to the general partner increased 16 
percent in 1995 due to the distribution of its share of proceeds from the 
sale of oil and gas properties.  Apache may be required to contribute 
funds, if necessary, to meet future tangible drilling and completion costs, 
production costs, gas imbalance obligations and payments attributable to 
other short-term and long-term commitments.

	The Registrant is a party in interest to certain litigation relating
to its properties.  See Note (4), "Commitments and Contingencies," to the 
Registrant's financial statements included under Item 8 below.  An adverse 
resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse 
effect on the Registrant's ability to make future distributions and may 
require additional contributions from the general partner.  Additionally, 
the Registrant may, based on further developments in ongoing litigation, 
establish reserves which would reduce the amounts available for 
distribution.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Partners of Apache Petroleum Limited Partnership 1980-I:

	We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Apache Petroleum 
Limited Partnership 1980-I (a Minnesota limited partnership) as of December 
31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of operations, cash flows and 
changes in partners' capital for each of the three years in the period 
ended December 31, 1995.  These financial statements are the responsibility 
of the Partnership's management.  Our responsibility is to express an 
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

	We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted 
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements 
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test 
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial 
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles 
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating 
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits 
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

	In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present 
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Apache 
Petroleum Limited Partnership 1980-I as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and 
the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three 
years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

APACHE PETROLEUM LIMITED PARTNERSHIP 1980-I

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)	ORGANIZATION

	Nature of Operations -

	Apache Petroleum Limited Partnership 1980-I (the Partnership)
is a limited partnership composed of Apache Corporation (Apache) as the 
general partner and purchasers of Partnership units as limited 
partners.  Oil and gas operations are conducted by the limited 
partnership, which was formed on April 3, 1980, under the laws of the 
state of Minnesota.

	The Partnership's business is the participation in exploration, 
development and production activities on oil and gas leases.  The 
Partnership's production activities are primarily in Oklahoma, with 
approximately 98 percent of the remaining reserves located in this 
state. The Partnership's future financial condition and results of 
operations will depend upon prices received for its oil and natural 
gas production and the costs of acquiring, finding, developing and 
producing reserves.  A substantial portion of the Partnership's 
production is sold under market-sensitive contracts.  Prices for oil 
and natural gas are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in 
supply, market uncertainty and a variety of factors beyond the 
Partnership's control.  These factors include worldwide political 
instability (especially in the Middle East), the foreign supply of oil 
and natural gas, the price of foreign imports, the level of consumer 
demand, and the price and availability of alternative fuels.  With 
natural gas accounting for 78 percent of  1995 production and 90 
percent of total proved reserves, on an energy equivalent basis, the 
Partnership is more affected by fluctuations in natural gas prices 
than in oil prices.

	Under the terms of the limited partnership agreement, the limited 
partners contribute funds to pay for intangible drilling and 
completion costs, delay rentals and certain other costs which are 
deductible as expenses for federal income tax reporting purposes.  
Apache, as the general partner, contributed funds to pay for leasehold 
and tangible drilling and completion equipment other than production 
facilities.  The limited partners received 60 percent of the revenue 
and paid 60 percent of the operating expenses and 60 percent of the 
cost of production facilities under this agreement.  Apache, as 
general partner, received 40 percent of the revenue and paid 40 
percent of the operating expenses and 40 percent of the cost of 
production facilities.  The exchange offers discussed below reduced 
the limited partners' share of the Partnership's revenue and 
production costs from 60 percent to approximately 27 percent.  The 
operations of the Partnership are performed by Apache pursuant to an 
operating agreement.

	The terms of the Partnership offering called for a subscription 
price of $15,000 per unit of limited partnership interest.  
Subscriptions were received for a total of 1,286.7 Partnership units. 
Apache, as general partner, contributed cash to the Partnership equal 
to one percent of the total contributions to the Partnership and 
earned a one percent interest in the limited partners' activities.  
The Partnership agreement specifies that one percent of each item of 
income, loss, contributions, or distributions is to be allocated to 
the general partner; this interest (13 equivalent units) has been 
reflected in the limited partners' activities in the accompanying 
financial statements.  Each unit sold has been assessed the maximum of 
25 percent of the subscribed amount, or $3,750, for development of 
productive properties.



	Capital Contribution -

	During 1982, amendments to the Articles of Limited Partnership were 
approved which, among other things, provided for the voluntary 
contribution of capital by partners to the Partnership up to a 
predetermined amount.  During 1982 and 1983, partners made 
contributions pursuant to this provision, the proceeds of which were 
used to reduce Partnership debt.  As a result of the capital 
contribution, an additional 59 equivalent units were added to the 
Partnership.

	Exchange Offers - 

	In March 1983, Apache Petroleum Company (APC) extended an exchange 
offer to the partners in this Partnership and all other Apache-managed 
partnerships that were formed during or before April 1981.  The offer, 
which closed March 31, 1983, was accepted by partners owning 831.4 
units, representing 61.2 percent of the remaining units in the 
Partnership.  Accordingly, 61.2 percent of the limited partners' 
assets, liabilities and partners' capital were transferred to APC 
effective April 1, 1983.

	In the fourth quarter of 1985, APC extended another exchange offer 
to the remaining partners in this Partnership and most other Apache-
managed partnerships that were formed during or before October 1983.  
Apache exchanged all of its Partnership interests, with the exception 
of those required to maintain its one percent general partner 
interest.  The offer, which closed January 10, 1986, was accepted by 
partners owning 184.2 units, representing 34.9 percent of the 
remaining units in the Partnership.  Accordingly, 34.9 percent of the 
limited partners' remaining assets, liabilities and partners' capital 
were transferred to APC effective January 1, 1986.  The financial 
statements reflect the 343 aggregate remaining units for 1995, 1994 
and 1993.

	Repurchase Offers -

	In June 1989, Apache concluded an offer to the limited partners to 
purchase their units for cash.  As a result of this offer and 
subsequent purchases, Apache has acquired 108.97 additional 
Partnership units for $997,000, bringing Apache's total ownership to 
34 percent at December 31, 1995.

(2)	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

	Statement Presentation - 

	The accounts of the Partnership are maintained on a tax basis method 
of accounting in accordance with the Articles of Limited Partnership 
and methods of reporting allowed for federal income tax purposes.

	Financial statements included in reports which the Partnership files 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are required to be 
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 
 Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared 
to reflect memorandum entries to convert from the tax basis to the 
accrual basis method in conformity with generally accepted accounting 
principles.


	Cash and Cash Equivalents -

		The Partnership considers all highly liquid debt instruments 
purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash 
equivalents.  These investments are carried at cost which approximates 
market.

	Oil and Gas Properties -

		The Partnership follows the full cost method of accounting, 
capitalizing, for financial statement purposes, all exploration and 
development costs incurred for the purpose of finding oil and gas 
reserves.  The amounts capitalized under this method include dry hole 
costs, leasehold costs, engineering, geological, exploration, 
development and other similar costs.  Costs associated with production 
and administrative functions are expensed in the period incurred.  No 
gain or loss is normally recognized on the sale or abandonment of oil 
and gas properties.

	Capitalized costs of oil and gas properties are amortized on the 
future gross revenue method, whereby the provision for depreciation, 
depletion and amortization (DD&A) is computed quarterly by dividing 
the net cost of oil and gas properties, including estimated future 
development costs, by estimated future gross revenue from proved oil 
and gas reserves and applying the resulting rate to revenue for the 
period.

	The Partnership limits the capitalized costs of proved oil and gas 
properties, net of accumulated DD&A, to the estimated future net cash 
flows from proved oil and gas reserves discounted at ten percent.  If 
capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged to DD&A 
expense.  During 1995, the partnership recorded write-downs totaling 
$675,126.  1994 writedowns totaled $3,030,150 and no writedowns were 
recorded in 1993.

	Per Unit Calculation -

	The net income (loss) per weighted average equivalent limited 
partner unit is calculated by dividing the aggregate limited partners' 
net income (loss) for the period by the number of weighted average 
equivalent limited partner units outstanding for that period.

	Income Taxes -

	The profit or loss of the Partnership for federal income tax 
reporting purposes is included in the income tax returns of the 
partners.  Accordingly, no recognition has been given to income taxes 
in the accompanying financial statements.

	Sharing Ratios -

	Revenue and associated costs are credited to the general and limited 
partner interests at 73 percent and 27 percent, respectively, as 
defined in the Articles of Limited Partnership and as adjusted to give 
effect to the exchange offers.

	Receivable from Apache -

	Receivable from Apache represents the net result of the limited 
partners' revenue, expenditure and capital transactions in the current 
month.  Cash in this amount will be transferred in the following month 
after the Partnership's transactions are processed and the net results 
from operations are determined.  The balances in the account are non-
interest bearing and unsecured.



	Revenue Recognition -

	The Partnership uses the sales method of accounting for natural gas 
revenues. Under this method, revenues are recognized based on actual 
volumes of gas sold to purchasers.  The volumes of gas sold may differ 
from the volumes to which the Partnership is entitled based on its 
interests in the properties.  Differences between volumes sold and 
volumes based on entitlements create gas imbalances which are 
reflected as adjustments to reported gas reserve quantities. 
Adjustments for gas imbalances offset approximately 12 percent of the 
Partnership's proved gas reserves at December 31, 1995, and 11 percent 
at December 31, 1994.

	The Partnership has identified certain properties on which remaining 
gas reserves may not be sufficient to permit existing gas imbalances 
to be made up in a normal manner.  At the end of 1995, the 
Partnership's estimated liability for gas imbalances in excess of 
remaining reserves remained unchanged form 1994.  Since December 31, 
1994, no material changes occurred in imbalance volumes or pricing 
that the Partnership believes would materially impact the current 
estimate, therefore no adjustments were recorded during 1995.  The 
account balance will be reduced when cash payments are made to settle 
with under-delivered owners in these properties or volumes are 
otherwise recouped by underproduced owners from other Partnership 
wells.

	During 1994, the Partnership recognized unfavorable reserve 
revisions which reduced the estimated volume of gas available to make 
up certain existing gas imbalances. Following these revisions, the 
Partnership recorded, in 1994, a $621,348 charge to earnings to 
increase its estimated liability for gas imbalances.

	Maintenance and Repairs - 

	Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  
Recompletions and replacements which improve or extend the life of 
existing properties are capitalized.

		Use of Estimates - 

	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepting accounting principles requires management to make estimates 
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and 
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the 
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues 
and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ 
from those estimates.  Significant estimates with regard to these 
financial statements include the estimate of proved oil and gas 
reserve volumes and the related present value of estimated future net 
revenues therefrom (see Supplemental Oil and Gas Disclosures).

(3)	COMPENSATION OF THE GENERAL PARTNER AND THE OPERATOR

	Apache is reimbursed for the limited partners' share of direct 
expenses actually incurred in connection with managing the limited 
partnership operations, maintaining the Partnership's book of 
accounts, and communicating the results of operations to the 
unitholders.  Apache also is reimbursed for the limited partners' 
share of the general and administrative overhead expenses.  During 
1995, 1994 and 1993, Apache was reimbursed approximately $51,000, 
$48,000 and $50,000, respectively, by the limited partners for these 
expenses.


(4)	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

	A suit is pending against Apache, as the operator of the Mikles #1-
10, Damron #1-10, Kinney Warren #3-10 and Fender #4-10 wells in 
Beckham County, Oklahoma.  The suit alleges that the pooling order 
relating to the wells is void as to a five-acre mineral interest 
allegedly owned by the plaintiffs, due to lack of personal notice to 
the heirs of Jack McCollum, and that, as a result, they own a working 
interest rather than a royalty interest in the wells.  The plaintiffs 
seek a decree quieting title to their purported working interest, an 
accounting for conversion, and damages and interest on late payment of 
production proceeds totaling in excess of $500,000. Merle L. McCollum, 
et al. v. Apache Corporation, et al., District Court of Beckham 
County, Oklahoma (No. C-92-248), was filed December 15, 1992.  On June 
15, 1994, the court awarded damages of approximately $850,000 to 
plaintiffs.  Apache appealed the judgement to the Court of Appeals, 
Division No. 2 of the State of Oklahoma, which reversed the trial 
court's award.  The plaintiffs have requested a rehearing.  The 
Partnership has working interests in the affected wells averaging 21.8 
percent and would be obligated for its proportionate share of any 
liability in the matter.  

	A suit is pending against the Partnership and Apache, as the 
operator of the Merritt Prospect (including the Mikles #1-10) in 
Beckham County, Oklahoma, alleging that the plaintiffs are entitled to 
participate in acreage which the defendants earned in the prospect 
under certain farmout agreements and acreage contribution agreements 
with third parties.  J. F. Schulte, et al. v. Apache Corporation, et 
al., District Court of Beckham County, Oklahoma (No. C-81035), was 
filed in 1981.  In their original 1981 complaint, the plaintiffs 
allege that, as force pooled working interest owners, they were 
entitled to share in the earned acreage.  The Oklahoma Supreme Court 
ruled that the plaintiffs were not entitled to share in earned acreage 
by virtue of the pooling order.  The case was remanded to determine if 
any mining partnership or other agreement existed by which plaintiffs 
could be entitled to share in earned acreage.  On April 21, 1993, the 
court ruled in the plaintiffs favor and plaintiffs were awarded 
damages totaling $1,730,133, attorneys' fees totaling $502,850 and 
prejudgment interest totaling $2,092,989. Additionally, the court held 
that the plaintiffs were entitled to an interest in 24.364 acres in 
Section 10 of the prospect and six sections adjacent to Section 10.  
The Partnership and Apache appealed the judgement and on July 11, 
1995, the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled in favor of Apache and other 
working interest owners, including the Partnership, reversing the 
ruling of the trial court.  On August 21, 1995, plaintiffs petitioned 
the Oklahoma Supreme Court for rehearing.  Apache is vigorously 
opposing the petition for the rehearing.  The Partnership would be 
obligated with respect to any liability in this matter in an amount 
proportional to its 21.75-percent working interest in the subject 
property.

	A suit is pending against Apache with respect to wells it operates 
in the State of Oklahoma, alleging wrongful deduction of 
transportation, compression and certain other charges from royalties 
payable under certain leases.  James J. Duke, et al. vs. Apache 
Corporation, District Court of Dewey County, Oklahoma (No. CJ-94-32) 
was filed May 26, 1994.  The court granted class certification on 
September 27, 1995, with respect to claims involving leases containing 
gross proceeds provisions.  Apache has appealed the issue of class 
certification to the Supreme Court of the State of Oklahoma (No. 
86434).  The proportionate share of the estimated amount of the 
plaintiff's claims applicable to the Partnership is $106,000.

	The Partnership and Apache intend to defend their interests in the 
above cases. However, in the event that one or more of these judgments 
are ruled against the Partnership, the Partnership's ability to 
continue to make distributions could be materially adversely affected. 
 The extent to which distributions would be interrupted would depend 
on a number of factors which are presently unknown, including the 
amount of any judgment ultimately attributable to the Partnership, and 
which cannot be predicted.

</TABLE>
	The Partnership's aggregate recurring DD&A provision was 24 percent, 
35 percent and 31 percent of oil and gas sales in 1995, 1994 and 1993, 
respectively.

	In 1994, the cost of the Partnership's oil and gas properties 
exceeded the discounted future net revenue of the properties by 
$3,030,150.  The difference of $2,038,144 between the Partnership's 
additional DD&A provision of $3,030,150 and the combined limited and 
general partners' additional DD&A provision of $992,006 is shown as a 
reduction of partners' capital and is included as part of the overall 
combining adjustments on the financial statements.

	The limited and general partners combined recurring DD&A provisions 
totaled $300,673 in 1994 and $340,082 in 1993, which were less than 
the Partnership's DD&A provision each year.  The Partnership's DD&A 
provision was $375,107 in 1994 and $464,417 in 1993 resulting in 
differences of $74,434 and $124,335, respectively. The differences 
were shown as a reduction of partner's capital and is included as a 
part of the overall combining adjustments on the financial statements.

	Divestitures -

	During 1995, the Partnership sold its interest in 30 wells located 
primarily in the Rocky Mountain region.  Proceeds from the sales of 
these wells totaled $588,201. Due to the properties' distance from 
markets, both oil and gas sold at a discount compared to oil and gas 
production sold in the Partnerships' other areas of interest.

	The properties sold constituted 31 percent and one percent of the 
Partnership's oil and gas proved reserves, respectively, at year-end 
1994, or approximately five percent of the Partnership's proved 
reserves on an energy equivalent basis.  The revenues related to the 
properties sold accounted for 30 percent and 22 percent of the 
Partnership's total oil and gas sales in 1994 and 1995, respectively.

(6)	MAJOR CUSTOMER INFORMATION

	Revenue received from major third party customers exceeding ten 
percent of oil and gas revenue is summarized below.  No other third 
party customers individually accounted for more than ten percent of 
oil and gas revenue.
<TABLE>

Cenex Corporation		               106,000	 	137,000	 	183,000
</TABLE>

	Natural Gas Clearinghouse (NGC) was the principal purchaser of the 
Partnership's spot market gas production from April 1990 through 
September 30, 1995.  On September 30, 1995, the contract with NGC was 
terminated and the Partnership found alternative customers to 
purchase its gas.  NGC purchased approximately 77 percent, 63 percent 
and 59 percent of the Partnership's natural gas during 1995, 1994 and 
1993, respectively.

	The Partnership's revenues are derived principally from 
uncollateralized sales to customers in the oil and gas industry; 
therefore, customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic 
and other conditions within the industry. The Partnership has not 
experienced significant credit losses on such sales.

(7)	TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

	The Partnership has historically engaged in farmout transactions in 
wells/prospects with other Apache-managed partnerships.  In the 
opinion of Apache, such transactions, which were based on third-party 
offers or trades in the immediate vicinity, were in the best interest 
of the Partnership and the other partnerships affected, and were 
necessary to achieve the Partnership's and the other partnerships' 
objectives.
 
(8) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

	The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, oil and gas 
receivables and trade liabilities included in the accompanying Balance 
Sheet approximated market value at December 31, 1995 and 1994.  The 
Partnership did not engage in hedging activities during the three year 
reporting period ended December 31, 1995.

(9) SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS DISCLOSURES(UNAUDITED)

	Proved oil and gas reserve quantities are based on estimates 
prepared by Apache's engineers in accordance with guidelines 
established by SEC.  The estimates of proved reserve quantities are 
subject to review by Ryder Scott Company Petroleum Engineers, 
independent petroleum engineers.

	There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities 
of proved reserves and projecting future rates of production and 
timing of development expenditures.  The following reserve data 
represents estimates only and should not be construed as being exact.

United States.

Future Net Cash Flows -

	The following table sets forth unaudited information concerning 
future net cash flows for oil and gas reserves. Future revenues are 
based on year-end 1995 prices. Operating costs and future development 
costs are based on current costs with no escalation.  As the 
Registrant is a general partnership, and therefore pays no income 
taxes, estimated future income tax expenses were omitted.  This 
information does not purport to present the fair market value of the 
Partnership's oil and gas assets, but does present a standardized 
disclosure concerning possible future net cash flows that would result 
under the assumptions used.
