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

     The balance  sheets  as  of  September 30,  1997,  statements  of
     operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997
     and  1996, and statements of cash flows for the nine months ended
     September  30, 1997 and 1996 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, 1997, results  of operations for  the three and
     nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 and changes in cash
     flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and  1996 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, 1996.   The  results  of operations  for the
     period ended September 30, 1997 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.  The Programs' calculation
     of depreciation, depletion,  and amortization includes  estimated
     future expenditures to be  incurred in developing proved reserves
     and  estimated  dismantlement  and  abandonment  costs,   net  of
     estimated salvage values.   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 period by  the estimated  future gross

                                 -10-

<PAGE>
     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,  1997 and 1996,  the 1982-1 Program  incurred
     such  expenses totaling  $23,951  and  $22,503, respectively,  of
     which  $18,615 was paid each  period to Dyco  and its affiliates.
     During the nine  months ended  September 30, 1997  and 1996,  the
     1982-1  Program  incurred  such  expenses  totaling  $88,555  and
     $82,204, respectively, of  which $55,845 was paid  each period to
     Dyco and its affiliates.  During the three months ended September
     30,  1997 and  1996,  the 1982-2  Program incurred  such expenses
     totaling $18,878 and $17,727,  respectively, of which $14,610 was
     paid  each period to  Dyco and its  affiliates.   During the nine
     months  ended September  30, 1997  and 1996,  the 1982-2  Program
     incurred   such   expenses   totaling   $70,067    and   $65,035,
     respectively, of which $43,830  was paid each period to  Dyco and
     its affiliates.

     Affiliates  of  the Programs  operate  certain  of the  Programs'
     properties.    Their  policy is  to  bill  the  Programs for  all
     customary charges  and cost reimbursements associated  with these
     activities.

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


USE OF FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
- -----------------------------------------------

     This   Quarterly   Report   contains    certain   forward-looking
     statements.  The words "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "plan,"
     "intend,"  "estimate," "project,"  "could,"  "may,"  and  similar
     expressions are intended  to identify forward-looking statements.
     Such statements reflect management's  current views with  respect
     to  future  events and  financial  performance.   This  Quarterly
     Report also includes  certain information, which is,  or is based
     upon, estimates and assumptions.   Such estimates and assumptions
     are management's efforts to  accurately reflect the condition and
     operation of the Programs.

     Use of forward-looking statements  and estimates and  assumptions
     involve  risks  and  uncertainties  which include,  but  are  not
     limited to, the volatility of oil and gas prices, the uncertainty
     of reserve  information, the  operating risk associated  with oil
     and gas properties (including the risk of personal injury, death,
     property  damage,  damage to  the  well  or producing  reservoir,
     environmental  contamination, and  other  operating  risks),  the
     prospect of  changing tax  and regulatory laws,  the availability
     and capacity  of  processing and  transportation facilities,  the
     general economic climate, the supply and price of foreign imports
     of  oil and gas,  the level of  consumer product demand,  and the
     price  and availability of alternative fuels.  Should one or more
     of  these risks  or uncertainties  occur or  should  estimates or
     underlying  assumptions  prove  incorrect, actual  conditions  or
     results  may vary  materially  and adversely  from those  stated,
     anticipated, believed, estimated, or otherwise indicated.


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.

     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.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ----------------------

                                 -12-

     GENERAL DISCUSSION

     The following  general discussion  should be read  in conjunction
     with the analysis of  results of operations provided below.   The
     most important  variable affecting the Programs'  revenues is the
     prices  received for the sale of  oil and gas.  Predicting future
     prices is very difficult.  Substantially all of the Programs' gas
     reserves are being sold in the "spot market".  Prices on the spot
     market  are  subject  to   wide  seasonal  and  regional  pricing
     fluctuations due to  the highly  competitive nature  of the  spot
     market.  In addition, such spot market sales are generally short-
     term  in  nature   and  are  dependent  upon  the   obtaining  of
     transportation services  provided  by pipelines.   Management  is
     unable  to predict  whether future  oil and  gas prices  will (i)
     stabilize, (ii) increase, or (iii) decrease.

     As  shown in the  table above, total oil  and gas sales decreased
     $3,770  (5.1%) for the three  months ended September  30, 1997 as
     compared to the three  months ended September 30, 1996.   Of this
     decrease,  approximately  $8,000 was  related  to  a decrease  in
     volumes of  gas sold, and $2,000  was related to the  decrease in
     the average price of oil sold; partially  offset by approximately
     $6,000 related to the increase in the average price  of gas sold.
     Volumes  of gas sold  decreased 4,015 Mcf   for the  three months
     ended  September 30, 1997 as  compared to the  three months ended
     September  30,  1996.   The  decrease  in  volumes of    gas sold
     resulted  primarily from  normal  declines in  production due  to
     diminished gas reserves on one well during the three months ended
     September  30,  1997  as  compared  to  the  three  months  ended
     September  30, 1996.  Average oil  prices decreased to $18.08 per
     barrel for the three months ended  September 30, 1997 from $21.94
     per barrel for the three months ended September 30, 1996. Average
     gas prices increased to $2.10 per Mcf  for the three months ended
     September 30,  1997 from   $1.91  per Mcf   for the  three months
     ended September 30, 1996.  

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses and  production taxes)  decreased $1,855 (6.9%)  for the
     three  months ended September 30,  1997 as compared  to the three
     months  ended  September  30,   1996.    This  decrease  resulted
     primarily from decreases in volumes of  gas sold during the three
     months  ended September  30, 1997  compared to  the  three months
     ended September 30, 1996.  As  a percentage of oil and gas sales,
     these  expenses remained  relatively  constant at  35.7% for  the
     three  months ended September 30,  1997 as compared  to 36.4% for

     the three months ended September 30, 1996. 

     Depreciation,  depletion,  and   amortization  of  oil   and  gas
     properties decreased  $4,922 (48.7%)  for the three  months ended
     September  30,  1997  as  compared  to  the  three  months  ended
     September 30, 1996.  This decrease resulted primarily from upward
     revisions in the estimates  of remaining oil and gas  reserves at
     December 31,  1996.  As a  percentage of oil and  gas sales, this
     expense decreased  to 7.4% for  the three months  ended September
     30,  1997 from  13.7% for  the three  months ended  September 30,
     1996.  This percentage  decrease was primarily due to  the dollar
     decrease  in depreciation, depletion,  and amortization discussed
     above. 

     General and  administrative expenses increased  $1,448 (6.4%) for
     the  three months  ended September  30, 1997  as compared  to the
     three months  ended September 30,  1996.  This  increase resulted
     primarily from an increase in computer consulting fees during the
     three  months ended September 30,  1997 as compared  to the three
     months ended September 30, 1996.   As a percentage of oil and gas
     sales, these  expenses increased  to 34.9% for  the three  months
     ended  September 30, 1997 from  30.6% for the  three months ended
     September 30, 1996. This percentage increase was due primarily to
     the  dollar  increase  in  general  and  administrative  expenses
     discussed above.

      Average price/Mcf                $   2.23         $   1.89

     As  shown in the  table above, total oil  and gas sales increased
     $11,637  (4.9%) for the nine  months ended September  30, 1997 as
     compared  to the nine months  ended September 30,  1996.  Of this
     increase, approximately $33,000 was related to an increase in the
     average  price of  gas sold,  partially offset  by a  decrease of
     approximately $20,000  related to  a decrease  in volumes of  gas
     sold.   Volumes of oil and  gas sold decreased by  39 barrels and
     10,498 Mcf, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30,
     1997 as compared  to the  nine months ended  September 30,  1996.
     Average  oil prices decreased to  $19.85 per barrel  for the nine
     months ended September  30, 1997 from $20.15 per barrel   for the
     nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996.   Average  gas  prices
     increased  to $2.23 per Mcf  for the nine  months ended September
     30, 1997 from $1.89  per Mcf for the nine  months ended September
     30, 1996.

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses and production taxes)  decreased $12,187 (13.8%) for the

<PAGE>
     nine  months ended  September 30,  1997 as  compared to  the nine
     months  ended  September  30,   1996.    This  decrease  resulted
     primarily from (i)  a decrease in general repair  and maintenance
     expenses on one well  and (ii) a decrease in  compression expense
     on another well during  the nine months ended September  30, 1997
     as compared  to the nine months  ended September 30, 1996.   As a
     percentage of  oil and  gas  sales, these  expenses decreased  to
     30.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from 37.6% for
     the  nine  months ended  September  30,  1996.   This  percentage
     decrease  was  primarily  due to  the  decrease  in  oil and  gas
     production expenses as discussed above.

     Depreciation,   depletion,  and  amortization   of  oil  and  gas
     properties decreased  $10,577 (30.1%)  for the nine  months ended
     September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September
     30, 1996. This decrease  resulted primarily from upward revisions
     in  the estimates of remaining  oil and gas  reserves at December
     31, 1996.   As a percentage  of oil and  gas sales, this  expense
     decreased to 10.0% for  the nine months ended September  30, 1997
     from 14.9% for  the nine months ended  September 30, 1996.   This
     percentage decrease was primarily  due to the dollar  decrease in
     depreciation, depletion, and amortization discussed above.
 
     General and administrative  expenses increased $6,351  (7.7%) for
     the nine months ended September 30,  1997 as compared to the nine
     months  ended  September  30,   1996.    This  increase  resulted
     primarily  from increases  in both  computer consulting  fees and
     computer upgrade expenses, which  increases were partially offset
     by a decrease in  professional fees during the nine  months ended
     September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September
     30, 1996.   As a percentage of oil and  gas sales, these expenses
     remained relatively constant  at 35.9% for the nine  months ended
     September 30, 1997 as compared to 34.9% for the nine months ended
     September 30, 1996.

     increase, approximately  $22,000 was  related to the  increase in
     the  average price of gas sold, partially offset by a decrease of
     approximately $20,000 related to a decrease in the volumes of oil
     and gas  sold .  Volumes of oil and gas sold decreased 27 barrels
     and  10,364  Mcf,  respectively,   for  the  three  months  ended
     September  30,  1997  as  compared  to  the  three  months  ended
     September 30, 1996.  The decrease in volumes of gas sold resulted
     primarily from  normal declines  in production due  to diminished
     gas  reserves  on two  wells.   Average  oil prices  decreased to
     $17.17 per barrel for  the three months ended September  30, 1997
     from $23.18 per barrel  for the three months ended  September 30,
     1996.   Average  gas prices increased  to $2.17  per Mcf  for the
     three  months ended September 30, 1997 from $1.86 per Mcf for the
     three months ended September 30, 1996.  

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses and production  taxes) remained relatively  constant for
     the  three months  ended September  30, 1997  as compared  to the
     three months  ended September 30, 1996.   As a  percentage of oil
     and  gas sales,  these expenses  remained relatively  constant at
     23.9% for the three  months ended September 30, 1997  as compared
     to 24.5% for the three months ended September 30, 1996.

     Depreciation,  depletion,  and   amortization  of  oil   and  gas
     properties decreased  $9,322 (38.0%)  for the three  months ended
     September  30,  1997  as  compared  to  the  three  months  ended
     September 30,  1996.  This  decrease resulted primarily  from (i)
     upward  revisions  in  the estimates  of  remaining  oil and  gas
     reserves at December 31,  1996 and (ii) decreases in  the volumes
     of oil and gas sold  during the three months ended  September 30,
     1997  as compared to the  three months ended  September 30, 1996.
     As a percentage  of oil and gas sales, this  expense decreased to
     9.9% for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from 16.2% for
     the  three  months ended  September  30, 1996.    This percentage
     decrease   was  primarily   due   to  the   dollar  decrease   in
     depreciation, depletion, and amortization discussed above.

     General and administrative  expenses increased $1,151  (6.5%) for
     the  three months  ended September  30, 1997  as compared  to the
     three months ended  September 30, 1996.   This increase  resulted
     primarily from  an increase in computer  consulting fees incurred
     during the three months  ended September 30, 1997 as  compared to
     the three  months ended September 30,  1996.  As a  percentage of
     oil and gas sales, these expenses remained relatively constant at
     12.3% for the three  months ended September 30, 1997  as compared
     to 11.7% for the three months ended September 30, 1996.

      Average price/Mcf                 $   2.19        $   1.85

     As shown in  the table above,  total oil and gas  sales decreased
     $20,565  (4.0%) for the nine  months ended September  30, 1997 as
     compared to the  nine months ended September  30, 1996.   Of this
     decrease, approximately  $98,000 was  related to the  decrease in
     volumes  of  gas  sold,  partially  offset  by  an  increase   of
     approximately  $77,000 related  to  the increase  in the  average
     price of  gas sold.  Volumes of oil  and gas  sold decreased  111
     barrels and 51,833 Mcf,  respectively, for the nine  months ended
     September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September
     30, 1996.  The decrease in volumes of gas sold resulted primarily
     from normal declines in production due to diminished gas reserves
     on several wells. Average oil and gas  prices increased to $21.96
     per barrel and $2.19  per Mcf, respectively, for the  nine months
     ended September 30,  1997 from  $21.68 per barrel  and $1.85  per
     Mcf, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. 

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses and production taxes)  decreased $27,845 (22.3%) for the
     nine  months ended  September 30,  1997 as  compared to  the nine
     months  ended  September  30,   1996.    This  decrease  resulted
     primarily  from (i)  abandonment  expenses incurred  on one  well
     during  the nine  months  ended September  30,  1996 and  (ii)  a
     decrease in volumes  of oil and  gas sold during the  nine months
     ended September 30,  1997 as  compared to the  nine months  ended
     September 30,  1996.  As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these
     expenses decreased to 19.6%  for the nine months  ended September
     30, 1997 from 24.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
     This percentage decrease was primarily due to the dollar decrease
     in oil and gas production expense discussed above.

     Depreciation,   depletion,  and  amortization   of  oil  and  gas
     properties decreased  $26,519 (29.4%)  for the nine  months ended
     September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September
     30,  1996.  This  decrease resulted  primarily from  decreases in
     volumes  of oil  and  gas  sold  during  the  nine  months  ended
     September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September
     30,  1996.  As  a percentage of  oil and gas  sales, this expense
     decreased to 12.8% for  the nine months ended September  30, 1997
     from 17.4% for  the nine months  ended September 30, 1996.   This
     percentage decrease  was primarily  due to the  increases in  the
     average prices of oil and gas  sold during the nine months  ended
     September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September
     30, 1996.

     General and  administrative expenses increased  $5,032 (7.7%) for
     the  nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine
     months  ended  September  30,   1996.    This  increase  resulted
     primarily  from increases  in both  computer consulting  fees and
     computer upgrade  expenses, which increases were partially offset
     by  a decrease in postage  expenses during the  nine months ended
     September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September
     30, 1996.   As a percentage of oil and  gas sales, these expenses
     increased to 14.1% for  the nine months ended September  30, 1997
     from 12.6%  for the nine months  ended September 30, 1996.   This
     percentage  increase was primarily due to  the dollar increase in
     general and administrative expenses discussed above.
