This Schedule 13E-3 is being filed by Swift Energy Company, a Texas
corporation, in its capacity as Managing General Partner of Swift Energy Pension
Partners 1994-A, Ltd., pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13e-3 thereunder in connection with the
solicitation by the partnership of proxies from the investors of the
partnership. The purpose of the proxy solicitation is to obtain the approval to
sell substantially all of the partnership's oil and gas assets to third parties,
either through public auction or negotiated sales, and then liquidate the
partnership, the "proposal." If either of these two methods of sale fail, Swift
may purchase some or all of the partnership's oil and gas assets. Swift in its
capacity as the Managing General Partner of the partnership filed a preliminary
proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, "SEC" on September
13, 1999, as amended on November 5, 1999, pursuant to Regulation 14A. The
preceding cross-reference sheet, prepared pursuant to General Instruction F to
Schedule 13E-3, shows the location in the proxy statement of the information
required to be included in response to the items of Schedule 13E-3. The
information contained in the proxy statement, including all exhibits thereto, as
may be amended, the "proxy statement" is expressly and hereby incorporated
herein by reference and the responses to each item are qualified in their
entirety by reference to such information.
The filing of this Schedule 13E-3 shall not be deemed an admission that
Section 13(e) of the Exchange Act or Rule 13e-3 thereunder are applicable to the
solicitation that is the subject of the proxy statement. The partnership and
Swift as the Managing General Partner expressly disclaim that the sale or
potential sale of substantially all of the assets, and the subsequent
liquidation, of the partnership under the terms and conditions set forth in the
proxy statement constitutes a "sale of substantially all of the assets of an
issuer to its affiliate or group of affiliates" within the meaning of Rule
13e-3.

1997, 1998 and through September 30, 1999. No executive

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
(e)-(f) This statement is being filed by Swift Energy Company, a
Texas corporation and the Managing General Partner of the
partnership. If Swift is unable to sell all of the
partnership's assets to third parties by auction or in
negotiated sales, Swift may purchase some or even
substantially all the assets of the partnership. Swift is an
independent oil and gas company whose principal business is
the development, exploration, acquisition and operation of
oil and gas properties, with a focus on U.S. onshore natural
gas reserves. Swift's principal executive offices are
located at 16825 Northchase Drive, Suite 400, Houston, Texas
77060. None of the executive officers or directors of the
Managing General Partner has, during the last five years,
been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors) or has been a party to a
civil proceeding which resulted in a judgment, decree or
final order enjoining further violations of, or prohibiting
activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or

officers and directors of Swift are citizens of the United

ITEM 6. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
(a) The information set forth in the proxy statement under the
caption "Special Factors Related to Possible Purchase of
Properties by Swift--Purchase Price Based on Appraisal" and
"--Methodology of Determining Fair Market Value" is
incorporated herein by reference. In the event Swift does
purchase any or all of the partnership's assets, Swift
anticipates using funds from its working capital or drawing
upon its credit facility.
(b) The information set forth in the proxy statement under the
caption "The Proposal--Estimated Selling Costs" is
incorporated herein by reference.
(c) Swift has a $250.0 million revolving credit facility with a
syndicate of ten banks. At September 30, 1999, Swift had no
outstanding borrowings, as previous borrowings had been
repaid in full during August with proceeds from its third
quarter concurrent public offerings of senior subordinated
notes and common stock. At December 31, 1998, Swift had
outstanding borrowings of $146.2 million under its borrowing
arrangements. At September 30, 1999, the credit facility
consisted of a $250.0 million revolving line of credit with
a $140 million borrowing base. The interest rate is either
(a) the lead bank's prime rate, 8.25% at September 30, 1999,
or (b) the adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate plus the
applicable margin depending on the level of outstanding
debt. The applicable margin is based on Swift's ratio of
outstanding balance on the credit facility to the last
calculated borrowing base.
The terms of the credit facility include, among other
restrictions, a limitation on the level of Swift's cash
dividends, not to exceed $2.0 million in any fiscal year,
requirements as to maintenance of certain minimum financial
ratios (principally pertaining to working capital, debt, and
equity ratios), and limitations on incurring other debt.
Since inception, no cash dividends have been declared on
Swift's common stock. Swift is currently in compliance with
the provisions of this agreement. The borrowing base is
redetermined at least every six months and is currently
under its November review which has not been completed as of
the date of this Schedule. Swift has requested that the
credit facility be reduced from $250.0 million to $225.0
million and that the $140.0 million borrowing base be
reduced to $100.0 million. The reduction in the borrowing
base has been requested in order to reduce the amount of
commitment fees paid on this facility. By its terms, the
credit facility extends until August 2002.
(d) The identity of the Company's banks is not required, as
neither Section 13(d) nor 14(d) is applicable to the
proposal.
ITEM 7. PURPOSE(S), ALTERNATIVES, REASONS AND EFFECTS.
(a) The information set forth in the proxy statement under the
caption "Special Factors Related to Possible Purchase of
Properties by Swift--Purpose and Effect of Possible Property
Purchase by Swift" and "The Proposal--Purpose and Effect of
the Proposal" is incorporated herein by reference.
(b) The information set forth in the proxy statement under the
caption "The Proposal--Consideration of Alternative
Transactions" is incorporated herein by reference.
(c) The information set forth in the proxy statement under the
captions "Special Factors Related to Possible Purchase of
Properties by Swift--Reasons for Inability to Sell Assets to
Third Parties," "--Purchase Price Based on Appraisal,"
"--Reasons for Possible Sale of Property Interest to Swift,"
"--Fairness of any Possible Purchase of Property Interests
by Swift," and "The Proposal--Simultaneous Proposals" is
incorporated herein by reference.
(d) The information set forth in the proxy statement under the
captions "Special Factors Related to Possible Purchase of
Properties by Swift--Purpose and Effect of any Possible
Purchase of Property Interests by Swift," "--Benefits to
Swift," "The Proposal--Timing of Asset Sales of the Proposal

<PAGE>
is Approved," "--Purpose and Effect of the Proposal"
"--Comparison of Investors' Estimated Cash Distributions
from Proposed Property Sales Versus Continuing Operations"
and "Federal Income Tax Consequences" is incorporated herein
by reference.
ITEM 8. FAIRNESS OF THE TRANSACTION.
(a) The information set forth in the proxy statement under the
caption "The Proposal--Fairness of any Possible Purchase of
Property Interests by Swift" is incorporated herein by
reference.
(b) The information set forth in the proxy statement under the
caption "The Proposal--Fairness of any Possible Purchase of
Property Interests by Swift" is incorporated herein by
reference. Several factors listed in the instruction to Item
8(b) of Schedule 13E-3 were not considered in assessing the
fairness of the proposal because of their inapplicability to
a finite life entity such as the partnership. There is no
trading market for SDIs in the partnership, and, therefore,
no comparison to be made with current market prices or
historical market prices for such interests. Likewise,
"going concern" and "liquidation value" are applicable only
to a continuing life entity, and there is no going concern
value to the partnership. Liquidation value of the
partnership was not considered, because for an oil and gas
partnership, the more appropriate value is considered to be
oil and gas reserve values, production quantities and the
appraisals of the value of the partnership's properties.
Swift believes that net book value is a corporate measure
and not one applicable to the partnership.
(c) The information set forth in the proxy statement under the
caption "Voting on the Proposal--Vote Required; Principal
Holders" is incorporated herein by reference.
(d) The information set forth in the proxy statement under the
caption "Voting on the Proposal--Vote Required; Principal
Holders" is incorporated herein by reference. No
unaffiliated representative has been retained by a majority
of the non-employee directors of Swift to act on their
behalf for the purpose of negotiating terms or preparing a
report concerning the fairness of the proposal.
(e) The actions taken by Swift, acting in the capacity as
Managing General Partner of the partnership in connection
with the proposal, have been approved by Swift's board of
directors. A majority of the nonemployee directors of Swift
voted in favor of such actions.
(f) No firm offers of which the partnership or Swift is aware
have been made during the preceding 18 months by any
unaffiliated person for (a) the merger or consolidation of
the partnership into or with such person or of such person
into or with the partnership; (b) the sale or other transfer
of all or any substantial part of the assets of the
partnership, or (c) securities of the partnership which
would enable the holder thereof to exercise control of the
partnership.
