                CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            MARCH 31, 1996
                              (Unaudited)

1.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     -------------------

     The  balance sheet as of March 31, 1996, statements of operations
     for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1996  and  1995,  and
     statements of cash  flows for  the three months  ended March  31,
     1996 and 1995  have been prepared  by Dyco Petroleum  Corporation
     ("Dyco"), the General  Partner of  the Dyco Oil  and Gas  Program
     1983-2 Limited Partnership (the "Program") without audit.  In the
     opinion of management all  adjustments (which include only normal
     recurring  adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
     position at March 31,  1996, results of operations for  the three
     months ended  March 31, 1996 and  1995 and changes  in cash flows
     for the  three months  ended March  31, 1996  and 1995 have  been
     made.

     Information  and   footnote  disclosures  normally   included  in
     financial  statements  prepared  in  accordance   with  generally
     accepted accounting principles  have been  condensed or  omitted.
     It  is  suggested  that these  financial  statements  be  read in
     conjunction  with  the  financial  statements  and notes  thereto
     included in the Program's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
     ended  December  31, 1995.   The  results  of operations  for the
     period ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the
     results to be expected for the full year.  

     The limited partners' net income  or loss per unit is based  upon
     each $5,000 initial capital contribution.

     OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
     ----------------------

     Oil  and gas  operations are  accounted for  using the  full cost
     method  of accounting.  All productive  and  non-productive costs
     associated  with the acquisition,  exploration and development of
     oil and gas reserves are  capitalized. Sales and abandonments  of
     properties are accounted for  as adjustments of capitalized costs
     with no  gain or loss  recognized, unless such  adjustments would
     significantly  alter the  relationship between  capitalized costs
     and proved oil and gas reserves.

     The  provision for depreciation,  depletion, and  amortization of
     oil and gas properties is calculated by  dividing the oil and gas
     sales  dollars during  the  year by  the  estimated future  gross
     income from the oil and gas properties and applying the resulting
     rate to  the net remaining costs  of oil and  gas properties that
     have been capitalized, plus estimated future development costs.

2.   TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
     ---------------------------------

     Under  the terms of the  Program's partnership agreement, Dyco is
     entitled to receive  a reimbursement for all  direct expenses and
     general  and administrative, geological  and engineering expenses
     it incurs  on behalf  of the Program.   During  the three  months
     ended March 31, 1996  and 1995 such expenses totaled  $18,689 and
     $18,457, respectively, of which $10,791  and $10,791 were paid to
     Dyco.

     Affiliates of the  Program are  the operators of  certain of  the
     Program's  properties and their policy is to bill the Program for
     all  customary charges  and cost  reimbursements associated  with
     their  activities,   together   with  any   compressor   rentals,
     consulting, or other services provided.

     The  Program sold  gas at  market prices  to Premier  Gas Company
     ("Premier")  and Premier then resold such gas to third parties at
     market prices.   Premier was  an affiliate of  the Program  until
     December 6, 1995.   During the three months ended  March 31, 1995
     these sales totaled $19,636.   At December 31, 1995,  accrued oil
     and gas sales included $14,318 due from Premier.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

     Net  proceeds  from  the   Program's  operations  less  necessary
     operating  capital are  distributed to  investors on  a quarterly
     basis.   The net proceeds  from production are  not reinvested in
     productive assets, except to the extent  that producing wells are
     improved, or where methods are employed to permit  more efficient
     recovery  of  the Program's  reserves  which  would  result in  a
     positive  economic  impact.   Over  the last  several  years, the
     domestic  energy industry  and  the Program  have contended  with
     volatile, but generally  low, oil and gas prices.   Over the past
     few years, the  oil and  gas market  appears to  have moved  from
     periods of  relative stability  in supply  and  demand to  excess
     supply  or weakened  demand.    These  trends  have  led  to  the
     volatility in pricing and demand noted over the past years.

     The Program's available capital from subscriptions has been spent
     on  oil and gas  drilling activities.   There  should not  be any
     further material capital resource commitments in the future.  The
     Program has  no  bank debt  commitments.   Cash  for  operational
     purposes will be provided by current oil and gas production.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS
     ENDED MARCH 31, 1995.
                                       Three months ended March 31, 
                                     --------------------------------

                                         ----          ----     
        Oil and gas sales               $65,896       $40,142   
        Oil and gas production 
         expenses                       $30,299       $31,214   
        Barrels produced                    138           255   
        Mcf produced                     36,222        29,008

        Average price/Mcf               $  1.76       $  1.27   

     As shown in the table, oil and natural  gas sales increased 64.2%
     for  the three  months ended March  31, 1996  as compared  to the
     three months ended March  31, 1995.  This increase  was primarily
     due to an  increase in both the volumes and  the average price of
     natural gas  sold and the  increase in  the average price  of oil
     sold, partially offset by the decrease in the volumes of oil sold
     during  the three months ended March  31, 1996 as compared to the
     three months ended March 31, 1995.  Volumes of oil sold decreased
     by  117 barrels and volumes  of natural gas  sold increased 7,214
     Mcf for the three months ended  March 31, 1996 as compared to the
     three months ended March 31, 1995.  Volumes of oil sold decreased
     as a result of prior period volume adjustments from the purchaser
     on one significant well  during the three months ended  March 31,
     1995.  Volumes of natural gas sold increased primarily due to the
     removal of  wellbore obstructions  on one significant  well which
     inhibited  production during  the  three months  ended March  31,
     1995.  Average oil and natural gas prices increased to $15.64 per
     barrel and  $1.76 per Mcf  for the three  months ended  March 31,

     1996 from  $12.78 per  barrel  and $1.27  per Mcf  for the  three
     months ended March 31, 1995.  

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses  and  production  taxes)  remained  relatively  constant
     during  the three months ended March  31, 1996 as compared to the
     three months  ended March 31, 1995.   As a percentage  of oil and
     gas sales, these expenses decreased to 46.0% for the three months
     ended   March 31, 1996  from 77.8%   for the  three months  ended
     March  31, 1995.  This percentage decrease was primarily a result
     of the increase in the average prices of oil and natural gas sold
     during the  three months ended March 31,  1996 as compared to the
     three months ended March 31, 1995.

     Depreciation,  depletion,   and  amortization  of   oil  and  gas
     properties decreased by $733 for the three months ended March 31,
     1996 as compared to the three  months ended March 31, 1995.  This
     decrease  was primarily the result  of an upward  revision in the
     estimate  of  the Program's  remaining  natural  gas reserves  at
     December 31,  1995,  partially  offset  by the  increase  in  the
     volumes of natural gas  sold during the three months  ended March
     31,  1996 as compared  to the three months  ended March 31, 1995.
     As a  percentage of oil and gas  sales, this expense decreased to
     10.7%  for the three months  ended March 31,  1996 from 19.4% for
     the  three months ended March 31, 1995.  This percentage decrease
     was primarily  due to the increase  in the average prices  of oil
     and natural gas sold during the three months ended March 31, 1996
     as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1995.

     General and administrative expenses remained  relatively constant
     during  the three months ended March 31,  1996 as compared to the
     three months  ended March 31, 1995.   As a percentage  of oil and
     gas sales, these expenses decreased to 28.4% for the three months
     ended March 31, 1996 from 46.0% for the three months  ended March
     31, 1995.  This  percentage decrease was primarily the  result of
     the increase in  the average prices of  oil and natural  gas sold
     during the three  months ended March 31, 1996 as  compared to the
     three months ended March 31, 1995.
