                              (Unaudited)


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

   The  balance sheet as of  March 31, 1996,  statements of operations
   for the three months ended March 31, 1996  and 1995, and statements
   of cash  flows for the three  months ended March 31,  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
   March  31, 1996, results of  operations for the  three months ended
   March 31,  1996 and 1995, and  changes in cash flows  for the three
   months ended March 31, 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 March 31,
   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
   March  31, 1996 and 1995  such expenses totaled  $6,716 and $6,614,
   respectively, of which $4,020 and $4,020 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 March 31,  1995
   these sales totaled $27,107.  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.

                                        ----           ----     
        Oil and gas sales              $46,973        $33,162   
        Oil and gas production

        Average price/Mcf              $  1.82        $  1.28   
 
     As  shown in the  table above, oil and  gas sales increased 41.6%
     for  the three months  ended  March  31, 1996 as  compared to the
     three months ended March  31, 1995.  This increase  was primarily
     due to  an increase  in the  average price  of  natural gas  sold
     during the three  months ended March 31, 1996 as  compared to the
     three months ended March 31, 1995.  Volumes of oil sold increased
     by 48 barrels,  while the  volumes of natural  gas sold  remained
     relatively  constant for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as
     compared to the three months  ended March 31, 1995.   Average oil
     and natural gas prices  increased to $17.82 per barrel  and $1.82
     per Mcf for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from $16.18 per
     barrel  and $1.28 per  Mcf for the  three months  ended March 31,
     1995.

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses  and production  taxes) decreased  $3,971 for  the three
     months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the three months ended
     March  31, 1995.   This  decrease was  primarily due  to workover
     charges on a well  during the three months ended March  31, 1995.
     As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses decreased to
     30.5% for the three  months ended March  31, 1996 from 55.2%  for
     the  three months ended March 31, 1995.  This percentage decrease
     was primarily due to the workover charges discussed above and the
     increase  in the  average price  of natural  gas sold  during the
     three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the three months
     ended March 31, 1995.

     Depreciation,  depletion,   and  amortization  of  oil   and  gas
     properties  remained relatively  constant  for the  three  months
     ended March 31, 1996 as compared to  the three months ended March
     31, 1995.   As a  percentage of oil  and gas sales,  this expense
     decreased to 12.8% for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from
     18.5% for the three months ended March 31, 1995.  This percentage
     decrease was primarily due  to the increase in the  average price
     of natural gas sold during the  three months ended March 31, 1996
     as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1995.

     General and administrative expenses remained  relatively constant
     for  the three  months ended  March 31,  1996 as compared  to the
     three months  ended March 31, 1995.   As a percentage  of oil and
     gas sales, these expenses decreased to 14.3% for the three months
     ended March 31, 1996 from 19.9% for the three  months ended March
     31,  1995.   This percentage  decrease was  primarily due  to the
     increase in oil and gas sales during the three months ended March
     31, 1996 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1995.
