                              (Unaudited)


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

     The  balance sheets as of June 30, 1997, statements of operations
     for the  three and six months  ended June 30, 1997  and 1996, and
     statements of cash flows  for the six months ended  June 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 June  30, 1997, results  of operations  for the three  and six
     months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and changes in cash flows for
     the six months ended June 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 June 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 Program's 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
     income from the oil and gas properties and applying the resulting

                                 -10-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     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  June 30, 1997 and  1996, the 1982-1  Program incurred such
     expenses totaling  $23,885  and $27,293,  respectively, of  which
     $18,615  was paid quarterly to  Dyco and its  affiliates.  During
     the six months  ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,  the 1982-1 Program
     incurred    such   expenses   totaling   $64,604   and   $59,701,
     respectively, of which $37,230  was paid each period to  Dyco and
     its affiliates.  During the three months ended June 30, 1997  and
     1996, the 1982-2 Program  incurred such expenses totaling $18,898
     and $21,555, respectively, of which $14,610 was paid quarterly to
     Dyco and  its affiliates.  During  the six months ended  June 30,
     1997 and 1996, the 1982-2 Program incurred such expenses totaling
     $51,189 and $47,308, respectively, of which $29,220 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 Program.

     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
- ----------------------

     GENERAL DISCUSSION

     The following  general discussion  should be read  in conjunction
     with the analysis of  results of operations provided below.   The

                                 -12-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     most important  variable affecting the Program's  revenues is the
     prices received for the  sale of oil and gas.   Predicting future
     prices is very difficult.  Substantially all of the Program's 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.

                                        -------          -------
      Oil and gas sales                 $77,277          $86,118
      Oil and gas production expenses   $30,630          $33,613

      Average price/Mcf                 $  1.84          $  1.97

     As shown in the  table above, total  oil and gas sales  decreased
     $8,841  (10.3%) for  the  three months  ended  June 30,  1997  as
     compared  to  the three  months ended  June  30, 1996.    Of this
     decrease, approximately $5,000  was related to a  decrease in the
     average price of gas sold and approximately $3,000 was related to
     a decrease in volumes of oil  sold.  Volumes of oil and  gas sold
     decreased 172  barrels and 344  Mcf, respectively, for  the three
     months ended June  30, 1997 as compared to the three months ended
     June 30,  1996.  Average oil  and gas prices decreased  to $19.46
     per  barrel and $1.84 per Mcf, respectively, for the three months
     ended June  30, 1997 from  $19.85 per barrel  and $1.97  per Mcf,
     respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses and  production taxes)  decreased $2,983 (8.9%)  for the
     three months ended June 30, 1997 as compared  to the three months
     ended June 30, 1996.   This decrease resulted primarily  from (i)
     the  sale of two wells during 1996, (ii) a decrease in production
     taxes associated with the decrease in oil and gas sales discussed
     above, and  (iii) a  decrease in general  repair and  maintenance
     expenses  incurred on one well during the three months ended June
     30, 1997 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1996.  As
     a  percentage  of  oil  and gas  sales,  these  expenses remained
     relatively  constant at 39.6% for the three months ended June 30,
     1997 and 39.0% for the three months ended June 30, 1996. 

     Depreciation,   depletion,  and  amortization   of  oil  and  gas
     properties decreased  $7,162 (53.5%)  for the three  months ended
     June  30, 1997  as compared  to the three  months ended  June 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 8.1% for the three  months ended June 30, 1997 from

     15.6% for the three months ended June 30, 1996.   This percentage
     decrease  was  primarily due  to  the  decrease in  depreciation,
     depletion,  and amortization discussed above, partially offset by
     the decreases  in the average prices  of oil and gas  sold during
     the three months  ended June 30,  1997 as  compared to the  three
     months ended June 30, 1996.

     General and administrative expenses decreased $3,408 (12.5%)  for
     the three months  ended June  30, 1997 as  compared to the  three
     months ended June  30, 1996.   This  decrease resulted  primarily
     from  a decrease  in  professional fees  during the  three months
     ended June 30,  1997 as compared  to the three months  ended June
     30,  1996.  As a percentage of  oil and gas sales, these expenses
     remained relatively constant at 30.9%  for the three months ended
     June 30, 1997 and 31.7% for the three months ended June 30, 1996.


     SIX MONTHS  ENDED JUNE  30, 1997 AS  COMPARED TO  THE SIX  MONTHS
     ENDED JUNE 30, 1996.

                                        Six months ended June 30,

                                       --------         --------
      Oil and gas sales                $177,080         $161,672
      Oil and gas production expenses  $ 51,393         $ 61,725
      Barrels produced                      988            1,033
      Mcf produced                       68,727           75,210
      Average price/Bbl                $  20.74         $  19.30
      Average price/Mcf                $   2.28         $   1.88

     As shown  in the table above,  total oil and gas  sales increased
     $15,408 (9.5%) for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared
     to  the  six months  ended  June 30,  1996.    Of this  increase,
     approximately $27,000 was related  to an increase in the  average
     price  of   gas  sold,   partially  offset   by  a   decrease  of
     approximately $12,000 related  to a  decrease in  volumes of  gas
     sold.  Volumes of oil and gas sold decreased 45 barrels and 6,483
     Mcf,  respectively, for  the six  months ended  June 30,  1997 as
     compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996.   Average oil and
     gas  prices increased  to $20.74  per barrel  and $2.28  per Mcf,
     respectively,  for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $19.30
     per  barrel and $1.88 per  Mcf, respectively, for  the six months
     ended June 30, 1996.  

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses and production taxes)  decreased $10,332 (16.7%) for the
     six months  ended June  30, 1997  as compared  to the  six months
     ended June 30, 1996.  This decrease resulted primarily from (i) a
     decrease in  general repair and maintenance  expenses incurred on
     one well during the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to
     the six months  ended June  30, 1996 and  (ii) workover  expenses
     incurred on another  well during  the six months  ended June  30,
     1996  in  order to  improve  the  recovery  of  reserves.   As  a
     percentage  of  oil and  gas sales,  these expenses  decreased to
     29.0% for the  six months ended June 30, 1997  from 38.2% for the
     six months ended  June 30,  1996.  This  percentage decrease  was
     primarily due to the increases in  the average prices of oil  and
     gas sold during the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to
     the six months ended June 30, 1996.

     Depreciation,  depletion,   and  amortization  of   oil  and  gas
     properties decreased $5,655 (22.6%) for the six months ended June
     30, 1997 as compared to the six months ended June 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) a decrease in volumes of oil and gas sold during the six
     months ended June 30,  1997 as compared  to the six months  ended
     June  30, 1996.   As  a  percentage of  oil and  gas sales,  this
     expense decreased to 10.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1997
     from  15.5%  for the  six  months  ended  June  30, 1996.    This
     percentage decrease  was primarily due  to the  increases in  the
     average prices of  oil and gas  sold during the six  months ended
     June 30, 1997 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996. 

     General and  administrative expenses increased  $4,903 (8.2%) for
     the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to  the six months
     ended  June 30, 1996.   This increase resulted  primarily from an
     increase in professional  fees and miscellaneous expenses  during
     the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to  the six months
     ended June 30, 1996.  As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these
     expenses remained relatively constant at 36.5% for the six months
     ended  June 30, 1997 and 36.9% for  the six months ended June 30,
     1996.

     THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AS  COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS
     ENDED JUNE 30, 1996.

                                       Three months ended June 30,
                                       ----------------------------

                                       --------         --------
      Oil and gas sales                $113,745         $202,973
      Oil and gas production expenses  $ 22,443         $ 39,223
      Barrels produced                      -                122
      Mcf produced                       68,038          102,012 
      Average price/Bbl                $    -           $  21.71
      Average price/Mcf                $   1.67         $   1.96

     As shown  in the table above,  total oil and  gas sales decreased
     $89,228  (44.0%)  for the  three months  ended  June 30,  1997 as
     compared  to the  three  months ended  June 30,  1996.   Of  this
     decrease, approximately  $67,000 and $20,000,  respectively, were
     related  to decreases  in volumes  and the  average price  of gas
     sold.   Volumes  of oil  and gas sold  decreased 122  barrels and
     33,974 Mcf,  respectively, for the  three months  ended June  30,
     1997 as  compared to the three  months ended June 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 gas  prices decreased to  $1.67 per Mcf  for the
     three months ended June 30, 1997 from $1.96 per Mcf for the three
     months ended June 30, 1996.  

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses and production taxes)  decreased $16,780 (42.8%) for the
     three  months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the three months
     ended June 30, 1996.   This decrease resulted primarily  from (i)
     the decrease  in volumes  of oil  and gas  sold during  the three
     months ended June 30, 1997 as compared  to the three months ended
     June  30, 1996 and (ii) a decrease in production taxes associated

     with the decrease  in oil and  gas sales discussed  above.  As  a
     percentage  of  oil  and   gas  sales,  these  expenses  remained
     relatively  constant at 19.7% for the three months ended June 30,
     1997 and 19.3% for the three months ended June 30, 1996.

     Depreciation,   depletion,  and  amortization   of  oil  and  gas
     properties decreased  $27,838 (78.6%) for the  three months ended
     June 30,  1997 as  compared to  the three months  ended June  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 June  30, 1997 as compared  to the
     three months ended June 30, 1996.  As a percentage of oil and gas
     sales,  this expense decreased to 6.7% for the three months ended
     June 30,  1997 from  17.4% for  the three  months ended  June 30,
     1996.  This percentage  decrease was primarily due to  the dollar
     decrease in  depreciation, depletion, and  amortization discussed
     above.

     General and administrative expenses decreased $2,657  (12.3%) for
     the three  months ended June  30, 1997  as compared to  the three
     months ended  June 30,  1996.   This decrease resulted  primarily
     from a  decrease in professional  fees incurred during  the three
     months  ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the three months ended
     June  30, 1996.   As  a percentage  of oil  and gas  sales, these
     expenses increased to 16.6%  for the three months ended  June 30,
     1997 from 10.6% for the  three months ended June 30, 1996.   This
     percentage  increase was primarily due to the decrease in oil and
     gas sales discussed above.

     SIX MONTHS  ENDED JUNE  30, 1997  AS COMPARED  TO THE SIX  MONTHS
     ENDED JUNE 30, 1996.

      Oil and gas sales                 $342,429        $365,408
      Oil and gas production expenses   $ 60,421        $ 87,947
      Barrels produced                        84             168
      Mcf produced                       154,627         196,096 
      Average price/Bbl                 $  22.30        $  21.38
      Average price/Mcf                 $   2.20        $   1.85

     As shown in  the table above,  total oil and gas  sales decreased
     $22,979 (6.3%) for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared
     to  the  six months  ended  June  30, 1996.    Of this  decrease,
     approximately $77,000 was  related to the decrease in  volumes of
     gas  sold,  partially  offset  by an  increase  of  approximately
     $54,000 related to the increase in the average price of gas sold.
     Volumes of oil and gas sold decreased 84 barrels and 41,469  Mcf,
     respectively,  for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared
     to the six  months ended June 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 and gas
     prices  increased  to  $22.30  per  barrel  and  $2.20  per  Mcf,
     respectively,  for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $21.38
     per  barrel and $1.85 per  Mcf, respectively, for  the six months
     ended June 30, 1996.

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses and production taxes)  decreased $27,526 (31.3%) for the
     six months  ended June  30, 1997  as compared  to the  six months
     ended June 30, 1996.  This decrease resulted primarily from (i) a
     prior  period adjustment  made by  the operator  of one  well for
     compression expenses  during the six months ended  June 30, 1996,
     (ii) abandonment expenses incurred on another well during the six
     months ended June 30, 1996, and (iii) decreases in the volumes of
     oil and gas  sold during the  six months ended  June 30, 1997  as
     compared to the  six month ended June 30, 1996.   As a percentage
     of oil  and gas sales, these expenses  decreased to 17.6% for the
     six  months ended  June 30,  1997 from 24.1%  for the  six months
     ended  June 30, 1996.  This percentage decrease was primarily due
     to the increases in the average prices of oil and gas sold during
     the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to  the six months
     ended June 30, 1996.

     Depreciation,  depletion,  and  amortization   of  oil  and   gas
     properties  decreased $17,197  (26.2%) for  the six  months ended
     June 30,  1997 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996.
     This decrease resulted primarily from decreases in volumes of oil
     and  gas  sold during  the  six months  ended  June  30, 1997  as
     compared to  the six months ended June 30, 1996.  As a percentage
     of oil and gas sales, this expense decreased to 14.1% for the six
     months ended  June 30, 1997 from  18.0% for the six  months ended
     June 30, 1996.  This percentage decrease was primarily due to the
     increases in  the average prices  of oil and gas  sold during the
     six months  ended June  30, 1997 as  compared to  the six  months
     ended June 30, 1996.

     General and administrative  expenses increased $3,881 (8.2%)  for
     the six  months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the six months
     ended  June 30, 1996.   This increase resulted  primarily from an
     increase in  professional fees and miscellaneous  expenses during
     the six  months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the six months
     ended June 30, 1996.  As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these
     expenses increased to  14.9% for  the six months  ended June  30,
     1997  from 12.9% for  the six months  ended June 30,  1996.  This
     percentage  increase was primarily due to the decrease in oil and
     gas sales discussed above.
