                CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
                              (Unaudited)

1.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     -------------------

     The  balance  sheet  as  of September  30,  1996,  statements  of
     operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996
     and 1995, and statements of cash flows for  the nine months ended
     September  30, 1996 and 1995 have been prepared by Dyco Petroleum
     Corporation ("Dyco"), the General Partner of the Dyco Oil and Gas
     Program  1986-X  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 September 30, 1996, results  of
     operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996
     and  1995, and  changes in cash  flows for the  nine months ended
     September 30, 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 September 30, 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.    In  the  event  the
     unamortized  cost  of  oil  and gas  properties  being  amortized
     exceeds the full cost  ceiling (as defined by the  Securities and
     Exchange  Commission), the  excess is  charged to expense  in the
     period during which  such excess occurs.   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 September  30, 1996 and  1995 such expenses  totaled $4,699
     and $4,554, respectively, of which $4,020 and $4,020 were paid to
     Dyco.  During the nine  months ended September 30, 1996 and  1995
     such expenses totaled $16,958 and $17,206, respectively, of which
     $12,060 and $12,060 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 September 30,
     1995 these sales totaled  $25,567.  During the nine  months ended
     September  30, 1995 these sales totaled $84,180.  At December 31,
     1995, accrued gas sales included $23,100 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
- ---------------------

     THREE  MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,  1996 AS COMPARED  TO THE THREE
     MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995.

                                   Three months ended September 30,
                                   --------------------------------
                                          1996            1995
                                        -------          -------
      Oil and gas sales                 $45,133          $28,374
      Oil and gas production expenses   $15,498          $17,291
      Barrels produced                       88              156
      Mcf produced                       21,445           21,275
      Average price/Bbl                 $ 23.19          $ 17.99
      Average price/Mcf                 $  2.01          $  1.20
 
     As shown in the table above, oil and  gas sales increased $16,759
     (59.1%) for the three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared
     to  the three months ended September 30, 1995.  Of this increase,
     $17,233  was  related to  the increase  in  the average  price of
     natural gas sold,  partially offset by a $1,577  decrease related
     to the decrease in the volumes of  oil sold.  Volumes of oil sold
     decreased  by  68 barrels,  while  volumes  of natural  gas  sold
     increased by 170  Mcf for  the three months  ended September  30,
     1996  as compared to the  three months ended  September 30, 1995.
     The decrease in the  volumes of oil sold was primarily the result
     of  a normal  decline in  production due  to diminished  reserves
     during the three months  ended September 30, 1996 as  compared to
     the  three  months ended  September 30,  1995.   Average  oil and
     natural gas prices increased  to $23.19 per barrel and  $2.01 per
     Mcf, respectively, for  the three months ended September 30, 1996
     from $17.99 per barrel  and $1.20 per Mcf, respectively,  for the
     three months ended September 30, 1995.

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses  and production  taxes) decreased  $1,793 for  the three
     months ended September 30,  1996 as compared to the  three months
     ended September 30,  1995.  This decrease resulted primarily from
     the sale of one  of the Program's wells.  As  a percentage of oil
     and  gas sales, these expenses  decreased to 34.3%  for the three
     months ended September 30,  1996 from 60.9% for the  three months
     ended September 30, 1995.  This percentage decrease was primarily
     due to the increases in the average prices of oil and natural gas
     sold for the three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
     the three months ended September 30, 1995.

     Depreciation,   depletion,  and  amortization   of  oil  and  gas
     properties decreased  $177 for  the three months  ended September
     30,  1996 as  compared to  the three  months ended  September 30,
     1995.  This decrease  was primarily a result of decreases  in the
     volumes of oil and natural gas sold during the three months ended
     September  30,  1996  as  compared  to  the  three  months  ended
     September  30, 1995.  As a percentage  of oil and gas sales, this
     expense  decreased to 11.8% for the  three months ended September
     30,  1996 from  19.4% for  the three  months ended  September 30,
     1995.    This  percentage  decrease  was  primarily  due  to  the
     increases in  the average prices of oil  and natural gas sold for
     the  three months  ended September  30, 1996  as compared  to the
     three months ended September 30, 1995. 

     General and administrative expenses  increased $145 for the three
     months ended September 30,  1996 as compared to the  three months
     ended September 30, 1995.  This increase was primarily due to  an
     increase  in  professional fees  during  the  three months  ended
     September  30,  1996  as  compared  to  the  three  months  ended
     September 30, 1995.  As a  percentage of oil and gas sales, these
     expenses decreased to 10.4% for the three  months ended September
     30,  1996 from  16.0% for  the three  months ended  September 30,
     1995. This percentage decrease was primarily due to the increases
     in the average prices of  oil and natural gas sold for  the three
     months ended September 30,  1996 as compared to the  three months
     ended September 30, 1995.

     NINE  MONTHS ENDED  SEPTEMBER 30,  1996 AS  COMPARED TO  THE NINE
     MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995.

                                    Nine months ended September 30,

      Oil and gas sales                 $136,227         $95,731
      Oil and gas production expenses   $ 46,379         $51,622
      Barrels produced                       278             401
      Mcf produced                        66,626          69,209
      Average price/Bbl                 $  19.48         $ 17.16
      Average price/Mcf                 $   1.96         $  1.28

     As shown in the table above,  oil and gas sales increased $40,496
     (42.3%)  for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared
     to the  nine months ended September 30,  1995.  Of this increase,
     $47,062  was related  to the   increase in  the average  price of
     natural  gas sold, partially offset  by a $5,063 decrease related
     to the decrease  in the volumes of natural gas  sold.  Volumes of
     oil and natural gas sold decreased by  123 barrels and 2,583 Mcf,
     respectively,  for the  nine months ended  September 30,  1996 as

<PAGE>
     compared  to the  nine  months ended  September  30, 1995.    The
     decrease in the volumes of oil sold was primarily the result of a
     normal decline in production  from diminished reserves during the
     nine  months ended  September 30,  1996 as  compared to  the nine
     months ended September  30, 1995.   Average oil  and natural  gas
     prices  increased  to  $19.48  per  barrel  and  $1.96  per  Mcf,
     respectively, for  the nine months ended September  30, 1996 from
     $17.16 per barrel and  $1.28 per Mcf, respectively, for  the nine
     months ended September 30, 1995.  

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses  and production  taxes)  decreased $5,243  for the  nine
     months  ended September 30, 1996  as compared to  the nine months
     ended September 30,  1995.   This decrease was  primarily due  to
     workover charges  incurred  on one  well during  the nine  months
     ended  September 30,  1995 in  order to  improve the  recovery of
     reserves.   As a percentage of  oil and gas sales, these expenses
     decreased to 34.0% for  the nine months ended September  30, 1996
     from 53.9%  for the nine months  ended September 30,  1995.  This
     percentage decrease  was primarily due  to the  increases in  the
     average prices  of oil and natural  gas sold for the  nine months
     ended September 30,  1996 as  compared to the  nine months  ended
     September 30, 1995.

     Depreciation,  depletion,  and   amortization  of  oil  and   gas
     properties decreased  $1,508 for the nine  months ended September
     30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
     This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in volumes of oil
     and natural gas sold  during the nine months ended  September 30,
     1996 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  As
     a  percentage of  oil and  gas sales,  this expense  decreased to
     12.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from 18.8% for
     the  nine  months  ended  September 30,  1995.    This percentage
     decrease was primarily due to the increases in the average prices
     of oil and natural  gas sold for the nine  months ended September
     30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

     General and administrative  expenses remained relatively constant
     for  the nine months ended September  30, 1996 as compared to the
     nine months ended September 30, 1995.  As a percentage of oil and
     gas  sales, these expenses decreased to 12.4% for the nine months
     ended September 30,  1996 from  18.0% for the  nine months  ended
     September 30, 1995. This percentage decrease was primarily due to
     the increases in the average  prices of oil and natural gas  sold
     for the  nine months ended September 30,  1996 as compared to the
     nine months ended September 30, 1995.
