                     Independent Auditors' Review Report




The Board of Directors
Petroleum Development Corporation


          We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheet of Petroleum Development Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30,
1995, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 and the related
condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the company's management.

          We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical review
procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an
audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the
objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

          Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications
that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements
referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

          We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Petroleum Development
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, retained earnings, and cash flows for
the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 15,
1995, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1994, is fairly
presented, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance
sheet from which it has been derived.

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

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 1995 Compared With June 30, 1994

    Total revenues decreased $411,900 in the second  quarter of 1995 compared
to the same period in 1994 primarily as a result of decreased drilling
activity and oil and gas sales.  Drilling revenues decreased 9.3% as a result
of lower volumes of drilling and completion activities.  Oil and gas sales 
decreased 11.3% as a result of lower average sales prices offset in part by
increased sales volumes.  

    Costs and expenses decreased $713,400 primarily as a result of lower well
drilling costs offset in part by higher oil and gas purchases and production
costs.  Well drilling costs decreased 29.8% as a result of the decreased
drilling and completion activity referred to above and significantly lower
average well costs.  Oil and gas purchases and production costs increased 12.3%
as a result of higher production costs associated with the higher volumes of 
natural gas sold.

     The foregoing resulted in net income of $160,900 as compared to a net
loss of $67,900 for the second quarter of 1994.  The provision for income
taxes in 1995 consists of $37,100 of current taxes and $15,900 of deferred
income taxes.  The provision for income taxes (benefit) in 1994 consisted of
$17,400 of current taxes and $2,300 of deferred income taxes.  

Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 Compared with June 30, 1994

     Total revenues increased $291,200 during the first six months of 1995
compared to the same period in 1994 as a result of increased drilling activity
offset in part by decreased oil and gas sales.  Drilling revenues increased
5.7% during the first six months of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994
as a result of higher volumes of drilling and completion activities.  Oil and
gas sales decreased 11.0% as a result of lower average sales prices offset in
part by increased sales volumes.

     Costs and expenses decreased $264,900 as a result of lower well drilling
costs offset in part by higher oil and gas purchases and production costs and
depreciation, depletion and amortization.  Well drilling costs decreased 8.7%
as a result of significantly lower average well costs.  Oil and gas purchases
and production costs increased 19.7% as a result of increased production 
costs associated with the increased sales volumes and increased leasehold
acreage expiration costs.

     The foregoing resulted in net income of $889,400 compared to a net income 
of $485,600 for the first six months of 1994.  The provision for income taxes
in 1995 consists of $205,300 of current taxes payable and $88,000 of deferred
income taxes.  The provision for income taxes in 1994 consisted of $124,600 
current taxes payable and $16,400 of deferred income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Sales volumes of natural gas continue to increase while the natural gas
prices fluctuated monthly over the past year.  The Company's gas sales prices
are subject to increase and decrease based on various market sensitive
indices.  Price levels of natural gas are currently depressed and are not
predictable in the coming year.  The volumes of gas sales are expected to
continue to increase as a result of continued drilling activities.

     The Company closed its first drilling program of 1995 in the second
quarter and has drilled the wells in the second and third quarters of 1995.
The Company will close its second drilling program of 1995 in September, 1995
and will drill the wells during the third and fourth quarters of 1995.  The
Company's public drilling program continues to receive wide market acceptance.

     The Company is party to a credit agreement providing up to $7.5 million
in borrowing capacity.  At June 30, 1995 the Company has activated $5 million
of that facility and has $2.75 million outstanding.

     The Company continues to pursue capital investment opportunities in 
producing gas properties along with its commitment to participate in its
sponsored gas drilling partnerships.  Management believes that the Company
has adequate capital to meet its operating requirements and continues to
pursue opportunities for operating improvements and cost efficiencies.
