Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

1.  Liquidity -

The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive in all its
phases.  There is also competition between this industry and
other industries in supplying energy and fuel requirements of
industrial and residential consumers.  It is not possible for the
Registrant to calculate its position in the industry, as
Registrant competes with many other companies having
substantially greater financial and other resources.  In
accordance with the terms of the Prospectus as filed by the
Registrant, the General Partners of the Registrant will make cash
distributions of as much of the Partnership cash credited to the
capital accounts of the Partners as the General Partners have
determined is not necessary or desirable for the payment of
contingent debts, liabilities or expenses for the conduct of the
Partnership's business.

As  of  June  30,  1995,  the General Partners  have  distributed
$554,528   or   8.60%   of  original  Limited   Partner   capital
contributions to the Limited Partners.  The posssible shut-in  of
the  Registrant's wells due to normal maintenance  combined  with
the  current level of wellhead prices may have an adverse  impact
on the cash available for distribution to the Limited Partners.



The  net  proved  oil  and gas reserves of  the  Partnership  are
considered  to be a primary indicator of financial  strength  and
future  liquidity.   The  present value of unescalated  estimated
future  net revenues (S.E.C. case) associated with such reserves,
discounted  at  10%  as  of December 31, 1994  was  approximately
$144,000.


2.  Capital Resources -

The Registrant was formed for the sole intention of drilling oil
and gas wells.  The Registrant entered into a drilling contract
with an independent contractor in December 1984 for $5,400,000.
Pursuant to the terms of this contract, twenty wells have been
drilled, resulting in twenty producing wells.


3.   Results of Operations -

Total operating revenues decreased from $73,494 in 1994 to
$62,157 in 1995. The Registrant produced 17,729 MCF and 1,038
Bbls in 1995 and 18,714 MCF and 1,151 BBls in 1994. Oil
production declines combined with a minor increase in price per
barrel, approxiametly $13.68 per barrel in 1994 to $14,52 per
barrel in 1995, resulted in only a very slight change in  overall
oil reveue  The price decrease for gas from $3.07 per Mcf in 1994
to $2.48 in 1995 combuined with lower gas production resulted in
lower overall gas revenue.  The partnership is currently selling,
at spot market prices, to our normal purchasers until the
partnership can lock into a contract with a favorable price.

Production expenses decreased from $44,364 in 1994 to $30,291 in
1995.  Lower production expenses can be attributed to a milder
winter in 1995 and  to lower production.

General and administrative expenses have been segregated on the
financial statements to show expenses attributable to the affairs
and operations of the Registrant payable to PrimeEnergy
Management Corporation, a general partner.  These expenses are
charged in accordance with guidelines set forth in the
Registrant's Management Agreement and shall not exceed an annual
amount of 5% of limited partners capital contributed.   Amounts
related to both 1995 and 1994 are substantially less than the
amounts allocable to the Reegistrant under the Partnership
Agreement.  The lower amounts reflect mananagement's effort's to
limit costs, both incurred and allocated to the Registrant.
Management continutes to reduce third party costs and use in-
house resources to provide efficient and timely services to the
partnership.

The partnership records additional depreciation, depletion and
amortization to the extent that net capitalized costs exceed the
undiscounted future net cash flows attributable to the
partnership properties. A downward revision in reserve esitmates
due to lower year-end gas prices in 1994 resulted in an
additional charge of $200,000.  The lower depltion expense in
1995 is due to lower depletable cost basis in oil and gas
properties.

Items 1 to 5 have been omitted in that each item is either
inapplicable or the answer is negative.

Item  6  The Partnership was not required to file any reports  on
Form 8-K during this period.

Pursuant  to  the requirements of Section 13 or  15  (d)  of  the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Registrant has duly caused  this

report  to  be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto

duly authorized.
