                          SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
                              (Unaudited)

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

   The  balance  sheet  as  of  September   30,  1995,  statements  of
   operations for the three  and nine months ended September  30, 1995
   and  1994, and statements  of cash flows for  the nine months ended
   September  30, 1995 and 1994  have been prepared  by Dyco Petroleum
   Corporation ("Dyco"), the General  Partner of the Dyco Oil  and Gas
   Program 1979-1  and 1979-2 Limited Partnerships  (individually, the
   "1979-1 Program" or  the "1979-2 Program", as the case  may be, or,
   collectively, the  "Programs"), 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, 1995, results of  operations for the  three and nine
   months ended September 30,  1995 and 1994 and changes in cash flows
   for the  nine months ended  September 30,  1995 and 1994  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
   Programs'  Annual Report on Form  10-K for the  year ended December
   31, 1994.  The results of operations for the period ended September
   30,  1995 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.  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

                                 -10-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
   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  each 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, 1995  and  1994  the  1979-1 Program  incurred  such
   expenses  totaling  $12,114  and  $12,530, respectively,  of  which
   $11,130 and  $11,130 were paid  to Dyco.   During  the nine  months
   ended  September 30, 1995 and 1994 the 1979-1 Program incurred such
   expenses  totaling  $42,245  and $39,784,  respectively,  of  which
   $33,390 and $33,390  were paid  to Dyco.   During the three  months
   ended  September 30, 1995 and 1994 the 1979-2 Program incurred such
   expenses totaling $8,736 and $8,996, respectively, of which  $7,803
   and  $7,803  were paid  to  Dyco.   During  the  nine months  ended
   September  30, 1995  and  1994  the  1979-2 Program  incurred  such
   expenses  totaling  $31,933  and  $29,547,  respectively, of  which
   $23,409 and $23,409 were paid to Dyco.  

   Affiliates  of the  Programs are  the operators  of certain  of the
   Programs' properties and their  policy is to bill the  Programs for
   all customary charges and cost reimbursements associated with their
   activities, together  with any  compressor rentals, consulting,  or
   other services provided.

   The  Programs  sell gas  at market  prices  to Premier  Gas Company
   ("Premier"),  an affiliated  company, and  Premier may  then resell
   such gas  to third  parties at  market prices.    During the  three
   months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 these sales for the 1979-1
   Program totaled $71,688 and $97,411, respectively.  During the nine
   months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 these sales for the 1979-1
   Program totaled $233,107 and $313,712, respectively.  At  September
   30, 1995  accrued oil and gas sales for the 1979-1 Program included
   $38,665  due from Premier.  During the three months ended September
   30,  1995 and  1994  these sales  for  the 1979-2  Program  totaled
   $58,272 and $228,678,  respectively.  During the  nine months ended
   September  30, 1995  and 1994  these sales  for the  1979-2 Program
   totaled $288,101 and $696,014, respectively.  At September 30, 1995
   accrued oil and gas  sales for the 1979-2 Program  included $44,778
   due from Premier.  

3. CONTINGENCIES
   -------------
   On  October 26, 1993, certain  royalty owners filed  a class action

                                 -11-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
   lawsuit  against  Dyco  and another  party  in  which they  alleged
   entitlement  to a  share  of  the  proceeds  from  a  gas  contract
   involving  one of the 1979-2  Program's wells.   The plaintiffs are
   alleging claims based  on breach of  contract, breach of  fiduciary
   obligation, and unjust enrichment and are seeking an accounting and
   declaration  as a third  party beneficiary under  the gas contract.
   The plaintiffs have not quantified the amount of their damages, but
   they are seeking exemplary damages, unpaid royalties, and interest.
   Dyco  has filed its answer in the  matter in which it denied all of
   the plaintiffs'  allegations and  discovery  is proceeding  in  the
   matter.    On January  18, 1994  the  district court  certified the
   matter  as a class  action and on November  29, 1994 the plaintiffs
   filed a motion for summary judgment in the matter.  Dyco intends to
   vigorously defend the lawsuit.   As of the date  of these financial
   statements, management  cannot determine the amount  of any alleged
   damages  which would be allocable  to the 1979-2  Program from this
   lawsuit.

   On October 21, 1994  a royalty owner  filed a class action  lawsuit
   against an  affiliate of Dyco and other parties in which he alleged
   entitlement  to a  share  of  the  proceeds  from  a  gas  contract
   involving  one of the 1979-2  Program's wells.   The plaintiffs are
   alleging claims based on unjust  enrichment, breach of contract and
   fiduciary obligation, and  constructive fraud, and  are seeking  an
   accounting.  The plaintiffs have not quantified the amount of their
   damages, but they are seeking actual and punitive damages, interest
   and costs.   On November  17, 1994  the defendants filed  a special
   appearance and motion to dismiss for lack of venue.  The court then
   entered  an order  transferring venue  to Oklahoma  District Court.
   Discovery  is proceeding  and the  affiliate intends  to vigorously
   defend the  lawsuit.  As of the date of these financial statements,
   management cannot determine the amount of any alleged damages which
   would be allocable to the 1979-2 Program from this lawsuit.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

     Net  proceeds  from  the  Programs'  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 Programs'  reserves  which  would  result in  a
     positive  economic  impact.   Over  the last  several  years, the
     domestic  energy industry  and the  Programs 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 Programs' 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
     Programs  have no bank  debt commitments.   Cash  for operational
     purposes will be provided by current oil and gas production.

     As  shown in the  table, oil and  natural gas  sales decreased by
     26.3% for the three  months ended September 30, 1995  as compared
     to  the three  months ended  September 30,  1994.   This decrease
     resulted primarily from  the decrease in the volumes  and average
     price of natural gas sold during the three months ended September
     30,  1995 as  compared to  the three  months ended  September 30,
     1994.   Volumes of oil and  natural gas sold decreased 43 barrels
     and 5,566 Mcf, respectively, for the three months ended September
     30,  1995 as  compared to  the three  months ended  September 30,

     1994.  Average oil and natural gas prices decreased to $17.68 per
     barrel  and $1.20  per  Mcf, respectively,  for the  three months
     ended September 30,  1995 from  $18.07 per barrel  and $1.49  per
     Mcf, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 1994.

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses and  production taxes) decreased slightly  by $1,296 for
     the  three months  ended September  30, 1995  as compared  to the
     three months  ended September 30, 1994.   As a  percentage of oil
     and  gas sales, these expenses  increased to 34.5%  for the three
     months ended September 30,  1995 from 26.7% for the  three months
     ended September 30, 1994.  This percentage increase was primarily
     a result of the decrease in the average price of natural gas sold
     for  the three months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the
     three months ended September 30, 1994.

     Depreciation,  depletion,  and   amortization  of  oil  and   gas
     properties increased $11,413 for the three months ended September
     30,  1995 as  compared to  the three  months ended  September 30,
     1994.   This increase was primarily  a result of  the increase in
     oil and gas  properties subject  to amortization as  a result  of
     recent recompletion  and workover activities on  an existing well
     and a decrease in the valuation of the 1979-1 Program's remaining
     natural  gas reserves for  the three  months ended  September 30,
     1995  as compared to the  three months ended  September 30, 1994.
     As a percentage of oil and  gas sales, this expense increased  to
     26.5% for the three months ended September 30, 1995 from 8.2% for
     the three  months  ended  September  30,  1994.  This  percentage
     increase resulted  primarily from the dollar  increase related to
     the   increase  in  the   oil  and  gas   properties  subject  to
     amortization  as discussed above and  the decrease in the average
     price  of natural gas sold  for the three  months ended September
     30,  1995 as  compared to  the three  months ended  September 30,
     1994.

     General and administrative expenses remained  relatively constant
     for the three  months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the
     three months  ended September 30, 1994.   As a percentage  of oil
     and  gas sales, these expenses  increased to 16.3%  for the three
     months ended September 30,  1995 compared to 12.4% for  the three
     months ended  September 30, 1994.   This percentage  increase was
     primarily a result  of the  decrease in the  volumes and  average
     price of natural gas sold during the three months ended September
     30,  1995 as  compared to  the three  months ended  September 30,
     1994.

     As  shown in the table, oil  and natural gas sales decreased 9.5%
     for the nine  months ended September 30, 1995  as compared to the
     nine months  ended September  30, 1994.   This  decrease resulted
     from  the  decrease in  the average  price  of natural  gas sold,
     partially  offset by  the  increase in  the  volumes of  oil  and
     natural  gas sold and  the increase in  the average  price of oil
     sold  during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared
     to the nine months ended September  30, 1994.  Volumes of oil and
     natural  gas  sold   increased  179  barrels   and  29,116   Mcf,
     respectively,  for the  nine months ended  September 30,  1995 as
     compared  to the  nine  months ended  September  30, 1994.    The
     increase in  the volumes of  natural gas sold  resulted primarily
     from positive prior period volume adjustments from a purchaser on
     one  well  during  the  nine  months  ended  September 30,  1995.
     Average  oil prices increased to  $18.15 per barrel  for the nine
     months  ended September 30, 1995  from $16.06 per  barrel for the
     nine months ended  September 30, 1994, while  average natural gas
     prices  decreased  to $1.32  per Mcf  for  the nine  months ended
     September 30, 1995 from  $1.72 per Mcf for the  nine months ended
     September 30, 1994.

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses and  production taxes) remained relatively  constant for
     the nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the  nine
     months ended September 30, 1994.  As a percentage of  oil and gas
     sales,  these expenses  increased to  25.4% for  the nine  months
     ended September 30,  1995 from  22.8% for the  nine months  ended
     September  30, 1994.   This percentage  increase was  primarily a
     result of  the decrease in the average  price of natural gas sold
     for the nine months  ended September 30, 1995 as  compared to the
     nine months ended September 30, 1994.

     Depreciation,  depletion,  and  amortization   of  oil  and   gas
     properties  increased  by  $10,164  for  the  nine  months  ended
     September 30, 1995 as compared to the nine months ended September
     30, 1994.  This increase  was primarily a result of  the increase
     in the volumes of oil and natural gas sold during the nine months
     ended September 30,  1995 as  compared to the  nine months  ended
     September 30, 1994.  As  a percentage of oil and gas  sales, this
     expense increased to  20.0% for the  nine months ended  September
     30,  1995 compared to 14.9%  for the nine  months ended September
     30, 1994.   This percentage increase resulted primarily  from the
     decrease in  the average price of  natural gas sold for  the nine
     months  ended September 30, 1995  as compared to  the nine months

     General and administrative expenses increased $2,461 for the nine
     months  ended September 30, 1995  as compared to  the nine months
     ended September 30, 1994.  This increase resulted  primarily from
     an  increase in the 1979-1 Program's professional fees during the

     76.5% for the three  months ended September 30, 1995  as compared
     to  the three  months ended  September 30,  1994.   This decrease
     resulted primarily from the  decreases in the volumes of  oil and
     natural gas sold and the decrease in the average price of natural
     gas  sold  for  the three  months  ended  September  30, 1995  as
     compared to the three  months ended September 30, 1994.   Volumes
     of oil and  natural gas  sold decreased 606  barrels and  112,122
     Mcf, respectively, for the three  months ended September 30, 1995
     as compared to  the three months  ended September 30, 1994.   The
     decrease in the  volumes of oil sold was primarily  a result of a
     significant  positive  prior  period volume  adjustments  from  a
     purchaser on one well during the three months ended September 30,
     1994.  The decrease  in the volumes of natural gas  sold resulted
     primarily from gas balancing adjustments on an underproduced well

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses and production  taxes) decreased $17,383  for the  three
     months ended September 30,  1995 as compared to the  three months
     ended September 30, 1994.  This  decrease resulted primarily from
     lower production taxes due to the  decrease in the volumes of oil
     and  natural gas sold  and the decrease  in the  average price of
     natural gas sold during the three months ended September 30, 1995
     as compared to  the three months ended September 30,  1994.  As a
     percentage of  oil  and gas  sales, these  expenses increased  to
     37.3%  for the three months  ended September 30,  1995 from 15.3%
     for the three months  ended September 30, 1994.   This percentage
     increase  was primarily a result  of the decrease  in the volumes
     and average price of natural gas sold for the three months  ended
     September  30,  1995  as  compared  to  the  three  months  ended
     September 30, 1994.

     Depreciation,  depletion,  and   amortization  of  oil   and  gas
     properties decreased $25,628 for the three months ended September
     30,  1995 as  compared to  the three  months ended  September 30,
     1994.   This dollar  decrease was  primarily a  result of  (i) an
     upward revision in the estimate of the 1979-2 Program's remaining
     natural gas reserves and (ii) the decreases in the volumes of oil
     and  natural gas sold during the three months ended September 30,
     1995  as compared to the  three months ended  September 30, 1994.
     As a percentage  of oil and gas sales, this  expense increased to

     53.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to
     the nine months ended September 30, 1994.  This decrease resulted
     primarily  from the decreases in  the volumes of  oil and natural
     gas  sold and  the decrease in  the average price  of natural gas
     sold  during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared
     to the nine months ended September 30, 1994.  Volumes  of oil and
     natural  gas sold decreased 1,525 barrels and 174,203 Mcf for the
     nine  months ended  September 30,  1995 as  compared to  the nine
     months  ended September 30, 1994.  The decrease in the volumes of
     oil  sold was  primarily a  result of significant  positive prior
     period volume adjustments from a purchaser on one well during the
     nine months ended September 30, 1994.  The decrease in volumes of
     natural   gas  sold   primarily  resulted   from  gas   balancing
     adjustments on an underproduced well during the nine months ended
     September  30, 1994.   Average  natural gas  prices  decreased to
     $1.42  per Mcf for the nine months  ended September 30, 1995 from
     $1.78 per Mcf for the nine months ended September 30, 1994, while

     months  ended September 30, 1995  as compared to  the nine months
     ended September 30, 1994.   This decrease resulted primarily from
     lower production  taxes due to the decrease in the volumes of oil
     and natural gas sold  during the nine months ended  September 30,
     1995 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1994.  As
     a  percentage of oil and  gas sales, these  expenses increased to
     23.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 from 14.7% for
     the nine  months  ended  September  30, 1994.    This  percentage
     increase was primarily a  result of the decreases in  the volumes

     properties decreased $72,196 for the nine months ended  September
     30, 1995 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1994.
     This  dollar decrease  was primarily  a result  of (i)  an upward
     revision in  the  estimate  of  the  1979-2  Program's  remaining
     natural gas reserves and (ii) the decreases in the volumes of oil

     from 20.6% for the  nine months ended September  30, 1994.   This
     percentage increase was primarily a result of the decrease in the
