                   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
September 30, 1995, and the related condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30,
1995 and 1994 and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash
flows for the nine-month periods ended September 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 September 30, 1995 Compared With September 30, 1994

         Total revenues decreased $133,200 in the third quarter of 1995 compared
to the same period in 1994 primarily as a result of decreased oil and gas sales.
Oil and gas sales decreased 15.1% as a result of lower average sales prices
offset in part by increased sales volumes.

         Costs and expenses decreased $419,600 primarily as a result of lower
well drilling costs and oil and gas purchases and production costs offset in 
part by higher depreciation, depletion and amortization.  Well drilling costs
decreased 21.4% as a result of the significantly lower average well costs.  Oil
and gas purchases and production costs decreased 14.0% as a result of lower
natural gas purchased for resale.  Depreciation, depletion and amortization
increased 27.5% as a result the increased investment in and production from
Company owned wells.

         The foregoing resulted in net income of $110,000 as compared to a net
loss of $100,300 for the third quarter of 1994.  The provision for income taxes
in 1995 consists of $25,400 of current taxes and $10,900 of deferred income
taxes.  The income tax benefit in 1994 consisted of $42,800 of current tax
benefits and $3,000 of deferred income taxes.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 Compared with September 30, 1994

         Total revenues increased $158,000 during the first nine months of 1995
compared to the same period in 1994 primarily as a result of increased drilling
activity offset in part by decreased oil and gas sales.  Drilling revenues
increased 5.2% during the first nine 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 12.2% as a result of lower average sales prices 
offset in part by increased sales volumes.

         Costs and expenses decreased $684,500 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 10.7% as a result of significantly lower average well costs.  Oil
and gas purchases and production costs increased 8.8% as a result of 
increased production costs associated with the increased sales volumes and 
increased leasehold acreage expiration costs.  Depreciation, depletion and
amortization increased 19.3% as a result of the increased investment in and 
production from Company owned wells.

         The foregoing resulted in net income of $999,400 compared to a net
income of $385,300 for the first nine months of 1994.  The provision for income
taxes in 1995 consists of $230,700 of current taxes payable and $98,900 of
deferred income taxes.  The provision for income taxes in 1994 consisted of
$81,800 current taxes payable and $19,400 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 second drilling program of 1995 in the third
quarter and has drilled the wells during the third and fourth quarters of 1995. 
The Company will close its third and fourth drilling programs of 1995 in the
fourth quarter and will drill the wells during the fourth quarter of 1995 and 
the first quarter of 1996.  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 September 30, 1995 the Company has activated $5
million of that facility and has $2.7 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.
