development wells remain capitalized.  Costs associated with uncompleted wells 
are capitalized as wells-in-progress.

at such time as they are deemed to be impaired, based upon periodic assessments 
of such costs.

costs of producing properties are amortized on the unit of production method 
based on estimated proved developed oil and gas reserves.

                MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                     CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                              September 30, 1995


     The average price of West Texas Sour, the Partnership's
     most common type of crude oil, for the third quarter of 1995 
     was $15.87 as compared to $15.59 for the third quarter of 
     1994. The average price per barrel of oil for the nine  
     months ending September 30,1995 was $16.50 compared to 
     $14.15 for the comparable nine months of 1994. 

     These substantial changes in the price of oil, plus normal 
     expected declines in the rate of production from some of the 
     Partnerships more mature properties accounts for the 
     changes in oil and gas revenue for these periods.

     An increase in workover costs due to an increase in the 
     number of wells permanently or temporarily abandoned, due to 
     low oil prices and low production levels, accounts for the 
     higher levels of production expense for both the three month 
     and nine month periods of 1994.

     Decreases in depreciation and depletion for the 1995 periods 
     as compared to the 1994 periods is due to normal expected 
     declines in production volumes.

     The Partnership was formed with cash contributions from the 
     Limited and General Partners.  The General Partner does not 
     intend to incur any substantial indebtedness and any 
     developmental drilling which is necessary will be processed 
     by farmout to the other parties or by reinvestment of 
     internally generated funds.  Therefore, no liquidity 
     problems are anticipated during the life of the Partnership.
