                          SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
                              (Unaudited)


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

     The balance  sheets  as  of  September 30,  1996,  statements  of
     operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996
     and  1995, and statements of cash flows for the nine months ended
     September  30, 1996 and 1995 have been prepared by Dyco Petroleum
     Corporation ("Dyco"), the General Partner of the Dyco Oil and Gas
     Program 1982-1 and 1982-2 Limited Partnerships (individually, the
     "1982-1 Program" or the "1982-2 Program", as the case may be, or,
     collectively, the "Programs"), without audit.   In the opinion of
     management all adjustments (which  include only normal  recurring
     adjustments)  necessary to present  fairly the financial position
     at  September 30, 1996, results  of operations for  the three and
     nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 and changes in cash
     flows for the nine months ended September 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 Programs' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
     ended  December  31, 1995.   The  results  of operations  for the
     period ended September 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.  At  September 30, 1995
     the unamortized cost  of oil  and gas properties  for the  1982-2
     Program exceeded the full  cost ceiling by $14,169.   This excess
     was charged to expense during the nine months ended September 30,
     1995.   No such impairment provision was incurred during the nine
     months  ended September  30,  1996.   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

                                 -10-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     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 each 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 September  30, 1996 and  1995, the 1982-1  Program incurred
     such  expenses totaling  $22,503  and $21,625,  respectively,  of
     which $18,615 and  $18,615 were paid  to Dyco.   During the  nine
     months ended  September 30,  1996 and  1995,  the 1982-1  Program
     incurred   such   expenses   totaling   $82,204    and   $82,866,
     respectively, of which  $55,845 and  $55,845 were  paid to  Dyco.
     During  the three months ended  September 30, 1996  and 1995, the
     1982-2  Program  incurred  such  expenses  totaling  $17,727  and
     $17,050, respectively, of  which $14,610 and $14,610 were paid to
     Dyco.  During the nine months ended September 30, 1996  and 1995,
     the 1982-2  Program incurred  such expenses totaling  $65,035 and
     $66,419, respectively, of which $43,830 and $43,830 were paid  to
     Dyco.

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

     The Programs 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 Programs until
     December  6, 1995.  During  the three months  ended September 30,
     1995  these sales for the 1982-1 Program totaled $54,290.  During
     the  nine months  ended September  30, 1995  these sales  for the
     1982-1  Program totaled $166,898.   At December 31, 1995, accrued
     gas  sales  for the  1982-1  Program  included $33,654  due  from
     Premier.   During the three months ended September 30, 1995 these
     sales  for the 1982-2 Program  totaled $68,403.   During the nine
     months  ended  September  30, 1995  these  sales  for  the 1982-2
     Program  totaled $331,304.   At  December 31,  1995, accrued  gas
     sales for the 1982-2 Program included $78,204 due from Premier.

3.   CONTINGENCY
     -----------

     On  November 12,  1992, two individuals  filed a  lawsuit against
     Dyco  and others in which the plaintiffs alleged damages to their
     land  as a result of  remediation operations conducted  on one of
     the 1982-2 Program's wells on an adjoining property.  The lawsuit
     alleged  claims based  on  negligence,  private nuisance,  public
     nuisance,  trespass, unjust  enrichment, constructive  fraud, and
     permanent  injunctive relief, all in  amounts to be determined at
     trial.   Dyco  has filed  an  answer in  the matter  in which  it
     asserted a  defense of failure  to state  a claim.   A trial  was
     conducted in  the matter on  February 22, 1994 in  which the jury

                                 -11-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     entered a verdict  in favor of  the plaintiffs in  the amount  of
     approximately  $5.5 million,  consisting  of approximately  $2.75
     million  in actual  damages  and approximately  $2.75 million  in
     punitive damages.  Dyco appealed the district court's verdict and
     on  March  5, 1996  the Oklahoma  Court  of Appeals  reversed the
     district court's verdict and ordered a new trial.   Both Dyco and
     the plaintiffs  filed petitions  for certiorari with  the Supreme
     Court  of Oklahoma  seeking  a further  review  of the  Court  of
     Appeals'  opinion, both  of which  petitions for  certiorari were
     denied on  July 3,  1996.   The  case has  been  remanded to  the
     district  court for  a new  trial.   Included in  these financial
     statements as  of December 31, 1995 and  September 30, 1996 is an
     accrual by the General Partner of $20,000 representing the 1982-2
     Program's share of estimated ultimate damages resulting from this
     contingency.

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

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

     Net  proceeds  from  the   Programs'  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 Programs'  reserves  which  would  result in  a
     positive  economic  impact.   Over  the last  several  years, the
     domestic  energy industry  and the  Programs 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 Programs' 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
     Programs  have no bank  debt commitments.   Cash  for operational
     purposes will be provided by current oil and gas production.

     As  shown in the table above, oil and gas sales increased $12,033
     (19.5%) for the three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared
     to the three months ended September  30, 1995.  Of this increase,
     $34,281 was related to the increases in average prices of oil and
     natural gas sold, partially offset  by a $21,088 decrease related
     to the decrease in the  volumes of natural gas sold.   Volumes of
     oil and  natural gas sold decreased by 52 barrels and 11,041 Mcf,
     respectively, for  the three months  ended September 30,  1996 as
     compared  to  the three  months ended  September  30, 1995.   The
     decrease  in  the volumes  of  oil sold  resulted  primarily from
     normal  declines in production due to  diminished reserves on two
     wells during  the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1996  as
     compared  to  the three  months ended  September  30, 1995.   The
     decrease in  the volumes of  natural gas sold  resulted primarily
     from (i) normal declines in production due  to diminished natural
     gas  reserves  on several  wells  during the  three  months ended

     September  30,  1996  as  compared  to  the  three  months  ended
     September  30,  1995  and (ii)    the  sale  of one  natural  gas
     producing well during 1996.   Average oil and natural  gas prices
     increased  to $21.94 per barrel  and $1.91 per Mcf, respectively,
     for the three  months ended  September 30, 1996  from $16.32  per
     barrel and  $1.20  per Mcf,  respectively, for  the three  months
     ended September 30, 1995.  

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses  and production  taxes) decreased  $6,111 for  the three
     months ended September 30,  1996 as compared to the  three months
     ended September 30,  1995.   This decrease was  primarily due  to
     lower  general  operating  and  repair  and maintenance  expenses
     incurred on two wells during the three months ended September 30,
     1996  as compared to the  three months ended  September 30, 1995.
     As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses decreased to
     36.4%  for the three months  ended September 30,  1996 from 53.4%
     for the three months  ended September 30, 1995.   This percentage
     decrease  was  primarily due  to the  dollar decrease  in general
     operating and repair and maintenance expenses discussed above and
     the increases in  the average prices of oil and  natural gas sold
     during the three months  ended September 30, 1996 as  compared to
     the three months ended September 30, 1995.     

     Depreciation,  depletion,  and   amortization  of  oil  and   gas
     properties decreased $3,799 for  the three months ended September
     30,  1996 as  compared to  the three  months ended  September 30,
     1995.   This decrease was  primarily a result of  the increase in
     the estimate  of remaining natural  gas reserves at  December 31,
     1995.   As  a  percentage  of oil  and  gas sales,  this  expense
     decreased  to 13.7% for the three months ended September 30, 1996
     from  22.6% for the three  months ended September  30, 1995. This
     percentage  decrease was primarily  due to  the increases  in the
     average  prices  of oil  and natural  gas  sold during  the three
     months ended September 30,  1996 as compared to the  three months
     ended September 30, 1995. 

     General and administrative expenses  increased $878 for the three
     months ended September 30,  1996 as compared to the  three months
     ended September 30,  1995.  This increase resulted primarily from
     an increase  in professional fees  during the three  months ended
     September 30,  1996.  As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these
     expenses decreased to 30.6% for the three months ended  September
     30,  1996 from  35.1% for  the three  months ended  September 30,
     1995.    This  percentage  decrease  was  primarily  due  to  the
     increases  in  the average  prices of  oil  and natural  gas sold
     during the three months  ended September 30, 1996 as  compared to
     the three months ended September 30, 1995.

     As shown in  the table above, oil and gas sales increased $39,599
     (20.2%)  for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared
     to  the nine months ended  September 30, 1995.  Of this increase,
     $86,938 was related to the increases in the average prices of oil
     and natural  gas sold,  partially  offset by  a $48,091  decrease
     related to  the decreases in the  volumes of oil  and natural gas
     sold.   Volumes  of oil  and natural  gas sold  decreased  by 207
     barrels and 23,238 Mcf,  respectively, for the nine  months ended
     September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September
     30, 1995.   The  decrease  in the  volumes of  oil sold  resulted
     primarily from  normal declines  in production due  to diminished
     reserves  on two wells during the nine months ended September 30,
     1996 as compared  to the  nine months ended  September 30,  1995.
     The  decrease  in  the  volumes  of  natural  gas  sold  resulted
     primarily from (i) positive  prior period volume adjustments made
     by  the purchaser on several  wells during the  nine months ended
     September 30, 1995,  (ii) normal  declines in  production due  to
     diminished natural gas reserves on several wells during  the nine
     months  ended September  30,  1996, and  (iii)  the sale  of  one
     natural gas producing well during the nine months ended September
     30, 1996, partially offset by a negative gas balancing adjustment
     on  another well during the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
     Average oil and natural gas prices increased to $20.15 per barrel
     and  $1.89  per  Mcf, respectively,  for  the  nine  months ended
     September  30, 1996  from $16.99  per barrel  and $1.27  per Mcf,
     respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses  and production  taxes)  decreased $5,545  for the  nine
     months  ended September 30, 1996  as compared to  the nine months
     ended September 30, 1995.  This decrease  resulted primarily from
     workover expenses incurred  on two wells  during the nine  months
     ended  September 30,  1995 in  order to  improve the  recovery of
     reserves.  As a percentage of  oil and gas sales, these  expenses
     decreased to 37.6% for  the nine months ended September  30, 1996
     from to 48.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  This
     percentage decrease  was primarily  due to the  increases in  the
     average prices of oil and natural gas sold during the nine months
     ended September 30,  1996 as  compared to the  nine months  ended
     September 30, 1995.     

     Depreciation,  depletion,   and  amortization  of  oil   and  gas
     properties decreased  $7,912 for the nine  months ended September
     30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
     This  decrease  was primarily  a result  of  the increase  in the
     estimate  of remaining natural gas reserves at December 31, 1995.
     As a percentage of  oil and gas sales, this expense  decreased to
     14.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from 22.0% for
     the  nine  months  ended  September 30,  1995.    This percentage
     decrease was primarily due to the increases in the average prices
     of  oil and  natural  gas  sold  during  the  nine  months  ended
     September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September
     30, 1995. 

     General and administrative expenses remained  relatively constant
     during  the nine months ended  September 30, 1996  as compared to
     the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  As a percentage of oil

     As shown in the table above, oil and  natural gas sales increased
     $50,004  (49.3%) for the three months ended September 30, 1996 as
     compared to the three  months ended September 30, 1995.   Of this
     increase, $73,600  was related  to  the increase  in the  average
     price of natural gas sold, partially offset by a $22,389 decrease
     related  to  the decrease  in the  volumes  of natural  gas sold.
     Volumes  of oil and natural gas  sold decreased by 44 barrels and
     12,037 Mcf,  respectively, for  the three months  ended September
     30,  1996 as  compared to  the three  months ended  September 30,
     1995.  The decrease in the volumes of oil sold resulted primarily
     from normal declines in production  due to diminished reserves on
     one  well during  the three  months ended  September 30,  1996 as
     compared  to  the three  months ended  September  30, 1995.   The
     decrease in volumes of  natural gas sold resulted primarily  from
     normal  declines  in production  due  to  diminished natural  gas
     reserves on two wells during the three months ended September 30,
     1996  as compared to the  three months ended  September 30, 1995.
     Average oil and natural gas prices increased to $23.18 per barrel
     and  $1.86  per Mcf,  respectively,  for the  three  months ended
     September  30, 1996  from $16.40  per barrel  and $1.07  per Mcf,
     respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 1995.  

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses  and  production taxes)  increased  $959  for the  three
     months ended September 30,  1996 as compared to the  three months
     ended September 30, 1995.  This  increase resulted primarily from
     an increase in production  taxes related to the increases  in the
     average  prices  of oil  and natural  gas  sold during  the three
     months ended September 30,  1996 as compared to the  three months
     ended September 30, 1995.  As  a percentage of oil and gas sales,
     these expenses  decreased  to 24.5%  for the  three months  ended
     September  30,  1996  from  35.7%  for  the  three  months  ended
     September 30, 1995.   This percentage decrease was primarily  due
     to the  increases in the  average prices  of oil and  natural gas
     sold during the three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared
     to the three months ended September 30, 1995.

     Depreciation,  depletion,   and  amortization  of  oil   and  gas

     the volumes  of oil and natural gas  sold during the three months
     ended  September 30, 1996 as  compared to the  three months ended
     September  30, 1995  and an  upward revision  in the  estimate of
     remaining  natural gas  reserves  at December  31,  1995.   As  a
     percentage  of oil and gas sales, this expense decreased to 16.2%
     for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from  30.2% for the
     three months ended September 30, 1995.  This percentage  decrease
     was primarily due to the  increases in the average prices  of oil
     and  natural gas sold during the three months ended September 30,
     1996 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1995.

     General and administrative expenses  increased $677 for the three
     months ended September 30,  1996 as compared to the  three months

      Average price/Mcf                $   1.85         $   1.23

     As shown in the table above, oil  and natural gas sales increased
     $102,197  (24.6%) for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as
     compared to the nine  months ended September  30, 1995.  Of  this
     increase, $205,448  was related  to the  increase in  the average
     price  of  natural  gas  sold,  partially  offset by  a  $100,168
     decrease  related to the decrease  in the volumes  of natural gas
     sold.   Volumes  of oil  and natural  gas sold  decreased by  308
     barrels and 54,145  Mcf, respectively, for the  nine months ended
     September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September
     30, 1995.   The decrease  in the volumes  of oil sold  during the
     nine  months ended  September 30,  1996 as  compared to  the nine
     months ended September 30, 1995 was primarily  due to the sale of
     one  well.  The decrease in  volumes of natural gas sold resulted
     primarily  from (i) a  positive gas  balancing adjustment  on one
     well during the  nine months  ended September 30,  1995 and  (ii)
     normal  declines  in production  due  to  diminished natural  gas
     reserves on one well  during the nine months ended  September 30,
     1996 as compared  to the  nine months ended  September 30,  1995.
     Average oil and natural gas prices increased to $21.68 per barrel
     and  $1.85  per Mcf,  respectively,  for  the  nine months  ended
     September  30, 1996  from $12.42  per barrel  and $1.23  per Mcf,

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses  and production  taxes)  increased $5,270  for the  nine
     months  ended September 30, 1996  as compared to  the nine months
     ended  September 30, 1995.  This increase resulted primarily from
     an increase in  production taxes associated with the increases in
     the average prices  of oil and natural  gas sold during the  nine
     months  ended September 30, 1996  as compared to  the nine months
     ended September 30, 1995.  As a percentage of oil  and gas sales,
     these  expenses decreased  to  24.2% for  the  nine months  ended
     September 30, 1996 from 28.9% for the nine months ended September
     30,  1995.   This percentage  decrease was  primarily due  to the
     increases  in  the average  prices of  oil  and natural  gas sold
     during  the nine months ended  September 30, 1996  as compared to
     the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

     Depreciation,  depletion,   and  amortization  of   oil  and  gas
     properties decreased $26,266 for  the nine months ended September
     30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
     This  decrease was primarily the  result of the  decreases in the
     volumes of  oil and natural gas sold during the nine months ended
     September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September
     30,  1995 and  an upward  revision in  the estimate  of remaining

     oil and  gas sales, this expense decreased  to 17.4% for the nine
     months  ended September 30, 1996  from 28.1% for  the nine months
     ended September 30, 1995.  This percentage decrease was primarily
     due to  the upward  revision of  remaining  natural gas  reserves
     discussed  above and the increases  in the average  prices of oil
     and natural gas sold  during the nine months ended  September 30,
     1996 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

     As a result  of declines  in natural gas  prices during the  nine
     months ended September  30, 1995 the 1982-2  Program recognized a
     non-cash  charge  against earnings  of  $14,169  during the  nine
     months ended  September 30, 1995.  This  impairment provision for
     oil and gas properties at September 30, 1995 was necessary due to
     the unamortized  costs of  oil and  gas properties  exceeding the
     present value of the  estimated future net revenues from  the oil
     and gas properties.   No similar charge was necessary  during the
     nine months ended September 30, 1996.

     General and administrative expenses decreased $1,384 for the nine
     months  ended September 30, 1996  as compared to  the nine months
     ended September 30, 1995.  This decrease resulted primarily  from
     a decrease  in professional  fees during  the  nine months  ended
     September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September
     30,  1995.  As a percentage of  oil and gas sales, these expenses
     decreased to 12.6% for  the nine months ended September  30, 1996
     from 16.0%  for the nine months  ended September 30, 1995.   This
     percentage decrease  was primarily  due to  the increases in  the
     average prices of oil and natural gas sold during the nine months
     ended September 30,  1996 as  compared to the  nine months  ended
     September 30, 1995.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     On November 12, 1992 Larry and Leona Beck filed a lawsuit against
     Dyco  Petroleum  Corporation ("Dyco")  and  others  in which  the
     plaintiffs  alleged   damages  to  their  land  as  a  result  of
     remediation operations  conducted on the  Paul King No.  1-7 well
     (Beck v. Trigg Drilling Company, Inc., et al., C-92-227, District
     Court  of Beckham County, Oklahoma).   The 1982-2  Program had an
     approximate 1.6% working interest  in the Paul King No.  1-7 well
     at  the time the lawsuit  was filed.   The lawsuit alleged claims
     based on negligence, private nuisance, public nuisance, trespass,
     unjust  enrichment, constructive fraud,  and permanent injunctive
     relief, all  in amounts to be  determined at trial.   A trial was
     conducted in  the matter on  February 22, 1994 in  which the jury
     entered  a verdict in  favor of the  plaintiffs in the  amount of
     approximately  $5.5  million, consisting  of  approximately $2.75
     million  in actual  damages  and approximately  $2.75 million  in
     punitive damages.  Dyco appealed the district court's verdict and
     on  March  5, 1996  the Oklahoma  Court  of Appeals  reversed the
     district court's verdict and ordered a new trial.  Both  Dyco and
     the plaintiffs  filed petitions  for certiorari with  the Supreme
     Court  of Oklahoma  seeking  a further  review  of the  Court  of
     Appeals  opinion, both  of  which petitions  for certiorari  were
     denied  on  July 3,  1996.   The case  has  been remanded  to the
     district court for a new trial.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

     On  October 1, 1996,  Drew Phillips  resigned as  Chief Financial
     Officer  of  Dyco.    Mr.  Phillips  continues  to  serve  as  an
     accounting officer of affiliates of Dyco.

     On October 1, 1996,  Patrick M. Hall was elected  Chief Financial
     Officer  of   Dyco.    Mr.   Hall  joined   affiliates  of   Dyco
