                            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
     1983-1 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  $27,492 and
     $27,795, respectively, of which $17,820  and $17,820 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 $157,623.  At December 31, 1995, accrued oil
     and gas sales included $101,934 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

     As shown in the table, oil and natural gas sales  increased 22.6%
     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 the  average price  of natural  gas sold,
     partially  offset by  the  decrease in  the  volumes of  oil  and
     natural gas  sold and the  decrease in the  average price  of oil
     sold during the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared  to
     the three  months ended  March  31, 1995.    Volumes of  oil  and
     natural  gas   sold  decreased  by  34  barrels  and  9,778  Mcf,
     respectively,  for  the three  months  ended  March 31,  1996  as
     compared to the three months ended March 31,  1995.  These volume
     decreases were primarily due to the normal decline  in production
     from  diminished oil and  natural gas reserves.   Average natural
     gas prices increased  to $1.61 per Mcf for the three months ended
     March 31,  1996 from  $1.23 per  Mcf for  the three  months ended
     March 31, 1995, while the average price  of oil sold decreased to
     $17.01 per barrel for the three months ended  March 31, 1996 from

     $18.07 per barrel for the three months ended March 31, 1995.  

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses and  production taxes)  decreased $51,665 for  the three
     months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the three months ended
     March 31, 1995.  This decrease resulted  primarily from workovers
     on several wells during the three months ended March 31, 1995 and
     compression  expenses on  another  well during  the three  months
     ended March  31, 1995.   As a  percentage of oil  and gas  sales,
     these  expenses  decreased to  18.8% for  the three  months ended
     March 31, 1996  from 47.3%  for the three  months ended March 31,
     1995.  This  percentage decrease  was primarily a  result of  the
     dollar decrease in production expenses as discussed above and the
     increase  in the  average price  of 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 $3,669 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 the decreases in the volumes
     of oil and natural gas  sold during the three months ended  March
     31, 1996 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1995 and
     an  upward  revision  in  the estimate  of  the  1983-1 Program's
     remaining  natural gas  reserves  at December  31,  1995.   As  a
     percentage  of oil and gas sales, this expense decreased to 20.7%
     for the three  months ended  March 31,  1996 from  27.1% for  the
     three  months ended March 31, 1995.  This percentage decrease was
     primarily due to the increase in the average price of 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 decreased slightly 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 10.6%  for the  three months  ended
     March 31,  1996 from 13.1% for  the three months ended  March 31,
     1995.  This percentage  decrease was primarily the result  of the
     increase  in the  average price  of natural  gas sold  during the
     three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the three months
     ended March 31, 1995.
