         This  Amendment  No. 1 to the Rule  13E-3  Transaction  Statement  (the
"Schedule 13E-3"), which was originally filed on August 20, 1997, is being filed
by Swift Energy  Company,  a Texas  corporation  ("Swift"),  pursuant to Section
13(e) of the  Securities  and  Exchange Act of 1934,  as amended (the  "Exchange
Act")  and Rule  13E-3  thereunder.  The  original  Schedule  13E-3 was filed in
connection with the  solicitation of proxies from the limited  partners of Swift
Energy Pension Partners 1991-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership"),  the purpose for which
is to obtain the approval from the limited  partners of the  Partnership to sell
all of its  assets and  liquidate  the  Partnership.  Swift  filed the  original
Schedule  13E-3 because the proxy  statement  provided that Swift might purchase
some of the  Property  Interests  of the  Partnership  at auction if the minimum
price  set by an  independent  appraisal  was not bid by a  third  party  at the
auction, in addition to Property Interests in the North Buck Draw Unit that were
to be sold to an  affiliated  Partnership  managed by Swift.  Such  purchases by
Swift and its affiliated partnership,  if consummated,  would have constituted a
sale of  substantially  all of the  assets  of the  Partnership  to  Swift,  its
managing general partner, or to its affiliated partnership, and therefore, could
be deemed to  constitute a "Rule 13E-3  transaction"  within the meaning of Rule
13E-3(a)(3), thereby necessitating a filing of Schedule 13E-3.

         Subsequent  to  the  filing  of the  original  Schedule  13E-3,  it was
determined that the affiliated  partnership would not purchase the Partnership's
Property Interest in the North Buck Draw Unit, and therefore the solicitation of
proxies from the limited partners of the Partnership does not constitute a "Rule
13E-3  transaction."  Although the proxy statement still provides that Swift may
purchase some of the property  interests of the Partnership under the procedures
set forth in the original  Schedule  13E-3,  such property  interests  would not
constitute  "substantially  all of the assets" of the  Partnership and there is,
therefore, no Rule 13E-3 transaction with respect to the Partnership.

         The  filing of this  Amendment  No. 1 to  Schedule  13E-3  shall not be
deemed  an  admission  that  Section  13(e) of the  Exchange  Act or Rule  13E-3
thereunder was applicable to the solicitation  that was the subject of the Proxy
Statement originally filed on August 20, 1997.
