                CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             JUNE 30, 1996
                              (Unaudited)


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

     The balance sheet as  of June 30, 1996, statements  of operations
     for the  three and six months  ended June 30, 1996  and 1995, and
     statements of  cash flows for the six  months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 1996,  results of operations  for the three
     and  six months ended June 30, 1996  and 1995 and changes in cash
     flows for the  six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 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.    In  the  event  the
     unamortized  cost  of  oil  and gas  properties  being  amortized
     exceeds the full cost  ceiling (as defined by the  Securities and
     Exchange Commission),  the excess  is charged  to expense  in the
     period during which such  excess occurs.  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  June 30, 1996 and  1995 such expenses  totaled $15,628 and
     $16,658, respectively, of which $10,971 and  $10,971 were paid to
     Dyco.   During the six months  ended June 30, 1996  and 1995 such
     expenses  totaled  $34,317  and $35,115,  respectively,  of which
     $21,582 and $21,582 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 June 30, 1995
     these  sales totaled $33,536.   During the six  months ended June

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 JUNE  30, 1996 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS
     ENDED JUNE 30, 1995.
                                      Three months ended June 30,
                                      ---------------------------
                                          1996            1995
                                         -------        --------
      Oil and gas sales                  $71,957        $119,860
      Oil and gas production expenses    $21,542        $ 33,379
      Barrels produced                       249             210
      Mcf produced                        33,911          86,931
      Average price/Bbl                  $ 18.57        $  17.70
      Average price/Mcf                  $  1.99        $   1.34

     As  shown in  the  table, oil  and  natural gas  sales  decreased
     $47,903  (40.0%)  for the  three months  ended  June 30,  1996 as
     compared  to the  three  months ended  June  30, 1995.    Of this
     decrease,  $105,510 was related to the decrease in the volumes of
     natural  gas sold, partially offset by a $56,505 increase related
     to the  increase in the average  price of natural gas  sold.  The
     volumes  of  oil sold  increased 39  barrels  and the  volumes of
     natural  gas sold decreased 53,020 Mcf for the three months ended
     June 30,  1996 as  compared to  the three months  ended June  30,
     1995.    The decrease  in the  volumes  of natural  gas  sold was
     primarily  due to  positive prior  period adjustments  made by  a
     purchaser  related to one well during the three months ended June
     30, 1995.  Average oil and natural gas prices increased to $18.57
     per  barrel and $1.99 per Mcf, respectively, for the three months
     ended June  30, 1996  from $17.70 per  barrel and $1.34  per Mcf,
     respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 1995.

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses and  production taxes)  decreased $11,837 for  the three
     months ended June 30, 1996 as  compared to the three months ended
     June  30,  1995.   This decrease  resulted  primarily from  (i) a
     decrease in  severance taxes resulting from  decreases in natural
     gas sold during the three months ended June 30, 1996 as  compared
     to the three  months ended June 30, 1995, and  (ii) a decrease in
     compression  expenses and  subsurface  repairs  on several  wells
     during the three months ended June 30, 1996.  As  a percentage of
     oil and gas sales, these expenses remained relatively constant at
     29.9% for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as  compared 27.8%
     for the three months ended June 30, 1995.

     Depreciation,  depletion,   and  amortization  of   oil  and  gas
     properties decreased $13,331 for the three months ended June  30,
     1996 as compared  to the three months ended June  30, 1995.  This
     decrease  was primarily the result of the decrease in the volumes
     of natural gas sold during  the three months ended June  30, 1996
     as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1995 and an upward
     revision in the  estimate of the Program's remaining  natural gas
     reserves at  December 31, 1995.   As a percentage of  oil and gas
     sales, this expense decreased to 14.4% for the three months ended
     June  30, 1996  from 19.8%  for the three  months ended  June 30,
     1995.  This percentage decrease was primarily due to increases in
     the average prices  of oil and natural gas sold  during the three
     months ended June 30, 1996 as compared  to the three months ended
     June 30, 1995.

     General and  administrative expenses decreased $1,030  during the
     three months ended June  30, 1996 as compared to the three months
     ended  June 30,  1995.   This  decrease was  primarily  due to  a
     decrease in printing and postage expenses during the three months
     ended June 30, 1996.  As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these
     expenses increased to 21.7%  for the three months ended  June 30,
     1996 from 13.9% for the  three months ended June 30, 1995.   This
     percentage increase was primarily the result  of decreases in the
     volumes  of natural gas sold  during the three  months ended June
     30, 1996 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1995.

     SIX MONTHS  ENDED JUNE  30, 1996  AS COMPARED TO  THE SIX  MONTHS
     ENDED JUNE 30, 1995.
                                       Six months ended June 30,
                                      ---------------------------

                                        --------        --------
      Oil and gas sales                 $137,853        $160,002
      Oil and gas production expenses   $ 51,841        $ 64,593
      Barrels produced                       387             465
      Mcf produced                        70,133         115,939
      Average price/Bbl                 $  17.52        $  15.00
      Average price/Mcf                 $   1.87        $   1.32

     As  shown in  the  table, oil  and  natural gas  sales  decreased
     $22,149  (13.8%)  for  the six  months  ended  June  30, 1996  as
     compared  to the  six  months  ended  June 30,  1995.    Of  this
     decrease, $85,657 was related  to the decrease in the  volumes of
     natural gas sold,  partially offset by a $63,766 increase related
     to the  increase in the average  price of natural gas  sold.  The
     decrease in the volumes  of oil sold was primarily due  to normal
     declines in  production from  diminished oil reserves  during the

     six  months ended  June 30, 1996  as compared  to the  six months
     ended June 30, 1995.  The  decrease in the volumes of natural gas
     sold  was primarily due to positive prior period adjustments made
     by a  purchaser related to one  well during the six  months ended
     June 30, 1995.   Average oil and natural gas prices  increased to
     $17.52  per barrel and $1.87  per Mcf, respectively,  for the six
     months ended June  30, 1996 from $15.00 per  barrel and $1.32 per
     Mcf, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 1995.

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses  and production  taxes)  decreased $12,752  for the  six
     months ended June  30, 1996 as  compared to the six  months ended
     June  30, 1995.  This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease
     in  severance taxes resulting from  the decrease in   natural gas
     sales during  the six months ended  June 30, 1996 as  compared to
     the  six months ended June 30, 1995, partially offset by workover
     expenses  incurred during the six  months ended June  30, 1996 on
     one  well  in order  to  improve  recovery  of reserves.    As  a
     percentage  of  oil and  gas sales,  these expenses  decreased to
     37.6% for the six  months ended June 30,  1996 as compared  40.4%
     for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  This percentage decrease
     was primarily a result of the increases in  the average prices of
     oil and natural  gas sold during  the six months  ended June  30,
     1996 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1995.

     Depreciation,  depletion,  and  amortization   of  oil  and   gas
     properties decreased  $14,064 for the  six months ended  June 30,
     1996 as compared  to the six  months ended June  30, 1995.   This
     decrease  was primarily the result of the decrease in the volumes
     of natural  gas sold during the six months ended June 30, 1996 as
     compared to  the six  months ended  June 30,  1995 and an  upward
     revision in the  estimate of the Program's  remaining natural gas
     reserves at  December 31, 1995.   As a percentage of  oil and gas
     sales, this expense decreased  to 12.6% for the six  months ended
     June 30, 1996 from 19.7% for  the six months ended June 30, 1995.
     This percentage  decrease was primarily  due to increases  in the
     average prices of oil and natural  gas sold during the six months
     ended June 30, 1996 as compared  to the six months ended June 30,
     1995.

     General and administrative  expenses remained relatively constant
