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

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

     The balance sheet as  of June 30, 1996, statements  of operations
     for the  three and six months  ended June 30, 1996  and 1995, and
     statements of cash flows for  the six months ended June 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 June 30,  1996, results of  operations for
     the three  and  six months  ended  June 30,  1996  and 1995,  and
     changes in cash flows for the six months ended June  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 June 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 June 30,  1996 and  1995 such expenses  totaled $5,543  and
     $6,038, respectively, of  which $4,020  and $4,020  were paid  to
     Dyco.   During the six months  ended June 30, 1996  and 1995 such
     expenses  totaled  $12,259  and $12,652,  respectively,  of which
     $8,040 and $8,040 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 June 30, 1995
     these  sales totaled $31,506.   During the six  months ended June
     30,  1995 these  sales totaled  $58,613.   At December  31, 1995,
     accrued oil and 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 JUNE  30, 1996 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS
     ENDED JUNE 30, 1995.
                                      Three months ended June 30,
                                      ---------------------------
                                          1996            1995
                                        -------          -------
      Oil and gas sales                 $44,121          $34,195
      Oil and gas production expenses   $16,562          $16,041
      Barrels produced                       22              125
      Mcf produced                       20,996           23,502
      Average price/Bbl                 $ 17.32          $ 17.05
      Average price/Mcf                 $  2.08          $  1.36
 
     As shown in the table  above, oil and gas sales increased  $9,926
     (29.0%) for  the three months ended June  30, 1996 as compared to
     the  three months ended June 30, 1995.  Of this increase, $16,921
     was related to the increase in  the average price of natural  gas
     sold,  partially  offset by  a  $6,996  decrease  related to  the
     decreases in the volumes of oil and natural gas sold.  Volumes of
     oil and natural gas sold decreased by 103 barrels  and 2,506 Mcf,
     respectively,  for  the  three  months  ended  June 30,  1996  as
     compared to the three months  ended June 30, 1995.   The decrease
     in  natural gas and oil production was  primarily the result of a
     normal decline  in production from diminished  reserves.  Average
     oil prices increased to an  average of $17.32 per barrel for  the
     three months  ended June 30, 1996 from  $17.05 per barrel for the
     three  months ended  June 30,  1995, while  the average  price of
     natural gas sold  increased to $2.08 per Mcf for the three months
     ended June 30, 1996 from $1.36 per Mcf for the three months ended
     June 30, 1995.

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses and  production taxes) remained relatively  constant for
     the three  months ended  June 30, 1996  as compared to  the three
     months  ended June  30, 1995.   As  a percentage  of oil  and gas
     sales, these  expenses decreased  to 37.5%  for the  three months
     ended June  30, 1996 from  46.9% for the three  months ended June
     30, 1995.  This  percentage decrease was primarily the  result of
     the increase  in the average price of natural gas sold during the
     three months ended June  30, 1996 as compared to the three months
     ended June 30, 1995.

     Depreciation,  depletion,  and  amortization   of  oil  and   gas
     properties  decreased $1,235 for the  three months ended June 30,
     1996 as compared  to the three months ended June  30, 1995.  This
     decrease  was primarily a result  of decreases in  the volumes of
     oil and natural gas sold.  As a percentage of  oil and gas sales,
     this expense decreased to  11.7% for the three months  ended June
     30,  1996 from 18.7%  for the three  months ended June  30, 1995.
     This percentage decrease was primarily the result of the increase
     in the average price  of natural gas sold during the three months
     ended June  30, 1996 as compared  to the three months  ended June
     30, 1995. 

     General and administrative expenses  decreased $495 for the three
     months ended June  30, 1996 as compared to the three months ended
     June 30, 1995.  This decrease  was primarily due to a decrease in
     printing and postage expenses during  the three months ended June
     30, 1996 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1995.  As
     a  percentage of oil and  gas sales, these  expenses decreased to
     12.6% for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from 17.7% for the
     three months ended June  30, 1995.  This percentage  decrease was
     primarily  the result  of the  increase in  the average  price of
     natural gas sold during the  three months ended June 30, 1996  as
     compared to the three months ended June 30, 1995.

     SIX  MONTHS ENDED  JUNE 30,  1996 AS  COMPARED TO THE  SIX MONTHS
     ENDED JUNE 30, 1995.

      Average price/Mcf                  $  1.94         $  1.32

     As shown in the table above, oil  and gas sales increased $23,737
     (35.4%) for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the
     six months ended June  30, 1995.   Of this increase, $29,719  was
     related to the increase in the average price of natural gas sold,
     partially  offset by a $5,341 decrease related to the decrease in
     the volumes  of natural gas sold.  Volumes of oil and natural gas
     sold decreased by 55 barrels and 2,753 Mcf, respectively, for the
     six  months ended  June 30, 1996  as compared  to the  six months
     ended  June 30,  1995.    Average  oil  and  natural  gas  prices
     increased  to $17.76 per barrel  and $1.94 per Mcf, respectively,
     for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $16.63 per barrel and
     $1.32  per Mcf, respectively, for  the six months  ended June 30,

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses  and  production taxes)  decreased  $3,450  for the  six
     months ended June  30, 1996 as compared  to the six  months ended
     June  30,  1995.   This decrease  was  primarily due  to workover
     expenses  incurred on one well  during the six  months ended June
     30, 1995  in order to  improve the  recovery of reserves.   As  a
     percentage of  oil and  gas  sales, these  expenses decreased  to
     33.9% for the  six months ended June 30, 1996  from 51.0% for the
     six months ended  June 30,  1995.  This  percentage decrease  was
     primarily  the result of the  increases in the  average prices of
     oil and natural  gas sold for the six months  ended June 30, 1996
     as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1995.

     Depreciation,  depletion,   and  amortization  of  oil   and  gas
     properties  decreased $1,331 for  the six  months ended  June 30,
     1996 as compared  to the six  months ended June  30, 1995.   This
     decrease  was primarily a result  of decreases in  volumes of oil
     and natural  gas sold. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, this
     expense decreased to 12.3% for the six months ended June 30, 1996
     from 18.6%  for  the  six  months  ended June  30,  1995.    This
     percentage  decrease was primarily the result of the increases in
     the average prices of oil and natural gas sold for the six months
