Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2000 compared with six months ended June 30, 1999

Revenues:

The  Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  increased  75% to $353,329 for the six
months  ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $201,384 for the same period in 1999.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a decrease in production.  For the six months ended June 30, 2000, 8,535 barrels
of oil, 5,502 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 21,614 mcf of gas were

                                        7

sold, or 17,639  barrel of oil  equivalents  ("BOEs").  For the six months ended
June 30, 1999, 8,668 barrels of oil, 6,436 barrels of NGLs and 26,371 mcf of gas
were sold, or 19,499 BOEs.

The average price  received per barrel of oil increased  $14.63,  or 111%,  from
$13.15 for the six months  ended June 30,  1999 to $27.78 for the same period in
2000.  The average price received per barrel of NGLs  increased  $5.78,  or 79%,
from  $7.34  during the six  months  ended June 30,  1999 to $13.12 for the same
period in 2000.  The average  price  received per mcf of gas  increased 34% from
$1.52  during the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $2.04 for the same period in
2000. The market price for oil and gas has been  extremely  volatile in the past
decade and  management expects a certain amount of volatility in the foreseeable
future.  The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at
average  prices lower or higher than that  received  during the six months ended
June 30, 2000.

The volatility of commodity prices has had, and continues to have, a significant
impact on the Partnership's revenues and operating cash flow and could result in
additional  decreases to the  carrying  value of the  Partnership's  oil and gas
properties.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $195,186 for the six months ended June 30,
2000 as  compared  to  $171,236  for the same  period in 1999,  an  increase  of
$23,950,  or 14%.  This  increase was due to increases in  production  costs and
general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a decline in depletion.

Production  costs  were  $168,879  for the six months  ended  June 30,  2000 and
$133,355  for the same period in 1999  resulting  in an increase of $35,524,  or
27%. The increase  was due to  additional  well  maintenance  costs  incurred to
stimulate well production and higher  production taxes due to higher oil and gas
prices.

G&A's  components are independent  accounting and engineering  fees and managing
general  partner  personnel  and  operating  costs.   During  this  period,  G&A
increased, in aggregate,  75% from $6,044 for the six months ended June 30, 1999
to $10,600 for the same period in 2000  primarily  due to a higher allocation of
the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas
revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Depletion was $15,707 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $31,837
for the same period in 1999, a decrease of $16,130,  or 51%.  This  decrease was
due to an increase in proved  reserves during the period ended June 30, 2000 due
to higher  commodity  prices and a decline in oil  production of 133 barrels for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999.

Three months ended June 30, 2000 compared with three months ended June 30, 1999

Revenues:

The Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  increased 43% to $174,901 for the three
months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $122,223 for the same period in 1999.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a decline in production. For the three months ended June 30, 2000, 4,084 barrels
of oil, 2,518 barrels of NGLs and 9,802 mcf of gas were sold, or 8,236 BOEs. For
the three months ended June 30, 1999,  4,347  barrels of oil,  3,965  barrels of
NGLs and 14,678 mcf of gas were sold, or 10,758 BOEs.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  increased  $13.61,  or 93%, from
$14.57 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $28.18 for the same period in
2000.  The average price received per barrel of NGLs  increased  $5.53,  or 63%,
from $8.73  during the three  months  ended June 30, 1999 to $14.26 for the same
period in 2000.  The average  price  received per mcf of gas  increased 48% from
$1.65  during the three  months ended June 30, 1999 to $2.44 for the same period
in 2000.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and  expenses  decreased  to $89,295 for the three months ended June
30, 2000 as compared to $89,846 for the same period in 1999, a decrease of $551.
This  decrease  was due to a  decline  in  depletion,  offset  by  increases  in
production costs and G&A.

Production  costs were  $76,933  for the three  months  ended June 30,  2000 and
$74,972 for the same period in 1999 resulting in a $1,961  increase,  or 3%. The
increase  was due to higher  production  taxes due to higher oil and gas prices,
offset by lower well maintenance costs.

During this period, G&A increased,  in aggregate,  43% from $3,669 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 to $5,247 for the same period in 2000  primarily  due
to a higher  allocation of the managing  general  partner's G&A being  allocated
(limited to 3% of oil and gas  revenues)  as a result of  increased  oil and gas
revenues.

Depletion  was  $7,115 for the three  months  ended June 30,  2000  compared  to
$11,205 for the same period in 1999, a decrease of $4,090, or 37%. This decrease
was primarily  attributable  to an increase in proved reserves during the period
ended June 30, 2000 as a result of higher  commodity prices and a decline in oil
production  of 263 barrels for the three  months ended June 30, 2000 as compared
to the same period in 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash  provided by operating  activities  increased  $131,190  during the six
months  ended  June 30,  2000 from the same  period  ended June 30,  1999.  This
increase  was due to an  increase  in oil and gas sales  receipts  of  $172,192,
offset by increases in operating  costs paid of $35,213 and G&A expenses paid of
$5,789.
