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

     The  balance  sheets as  of  September  30, 1997,  statements  of
     operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997
     and 1996, and statements of cash flows for  the nine months ended
     September  30, 1997 and 1996 have been prepared by Dyco Petroleum
     Corporation ("Dyco"), the General Partner of the Dyco Oil and Gas
     Program 1980-1 and 1980-2 Limited Partnerships (individually, the
     "1980-1 Program" or the "1980-2 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, 1997, results  of operations for  the three and
     nine months ended  September 30,  1997 and 1996,  and changes  in
     cash flows for the nine months  ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
     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, 1996.   The  results  of operations  for the
     period ended September 30, 1997 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.  The Programs'  calculation
     of depreciation,  depletion, and amortization  includes estimated
     future expenditures to be  incurred in developing proved reserves
     and  estimated  dismantlement  and  abandonment   costs,  net  of
     estimated salvage values.   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  period by  the estimated  future gross
     income from the oil and gas properties and applying the resulting

                                 -10-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     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  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, 1997 and  1996 the  1980-1
     Program incurred  such  expenses totaling  $16,156  and  $15,270,
     respectively, of which $14,022  was paid each period to  Dyco and
     its  affiliates.  During the nine months ended September 30, 1997
     and  1996  the 1980-1  Program  incurred  such expenses  totaling
     $55,296 and $52,790, respectively, of which $42,066 was paid each
     period to Dyco and its affiliates.  During the three months ended
     September  30,  1997 and  1996 the  1980-2 Program  incurred such
     expenses totaling  $24,078  and $23,366,  respectively, of  which
     $21,405 was paid each period to  Dyco and its affiliates.  During
     the  nine months  ended September  30, 1997  and 1996  the 1980-2
     Program  incurred such  expenses  totaling  $80,750 and  $77,799,
     respectively, of which $64,215  was paid each period to  Dyco and
     its affiliates.

     Affiliates  of  the Programs  operate  certain  of the  Programs'
     properties.    Their  policy is  to  bill  the  Programs for  all
     customary charges  and cost reimbursements  associated with these
     activities.

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


USE OF FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
- -----------------------------------------------

     This   Quarterly   Report   contains    certain   forward-looking
     statements.  The words "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "plan,"
     "intend,"  "estimate," "project,"  "could,"  "may,"  and  similar
     expressions are intended  to identify forward-looking statements.
     Such statements reflect management's  current views with  respect
     to  future  events and  financial  performance.   This  Quarterly
     Report also includes  certain information, which is,  or is based
     upon, estimates and assumptions.   Such estimates and assumptions
     are management's efforts to  accurately reflect the condition and
     operation of the Programs.

     Use of forward-looking statements  and estimates and  assumptions
     involve  risks  and  uncertainties  which include,  but  are  not
     limited to, the volatility of oil and gas prices, the uncertainty
     of reserve  information, the  operating risk associated  with oil
     and gas properties (including the risk of personal injury, death,
     property  damage,  damage to  the  well  or producing  reservoir,
     environmental  contamination, and  other  operating  risks),  the
     prospect of  changing tax  and regulatory laws,  the availability
     and capacity  of  processing and  transportation facilities,  the
     general economic climate, the supply and price of foreign imports
     of  oil and gas,  the level of  consumer product demand,  and the
     price  and availability of alternative fuels.  Should one or more
     of  these risks  or uncertainties  occur or  should  estimates or
     underlying  assumptions  prove  incorrect, actual  conditions  or
     results  may vary  materially  and adversely  from those  stated,
     anticipated, believed, estimated, or otherwise indicated.


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.

     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.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

     GENERAL DISCUSSION

     The following  general discussion  should be read  in conjunction

                                 -12-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     with the analysis of  results of operations provided below.   The
     most important  variable affecting the Programs'  revenues is the
     prices received for the sale of  oil and gas.  Predicting  future
     prices is very difficult.  Substantially all of the Programs' gas
     reserves are being sold in the "spot market".  Prices on the spot
     market  are  subject  to   wide  seasonal  and  regional  pricing
     fluctuations  due to  the highly competitive  nature of  the spot
     market.  In addition, such spot market sales are generally short-
     term  in  nature   and  are  dependent  upon   the  obtaining  of
     transportation services  provided by  pipelines.   Management  is
     unable  to predict  whether future  oil and  gas prices  will (i)
     stabilize, (ii) increase, or (iii) decrease.

     $30,557  (16.9%) for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as
     compared  to the three months ended September  30, 1996.  Of this
     decrease,  approximately $7,000  and $22,000,  respectively, were
     related to  decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold.  Volumes of
     oil  and  gas   sold  decreased  313   barrels  and  9,715   Mcf,
     respectively, for  the three months  ended September 30,  1997 as
     compared  to  the three  months ended  September  30, 1996.   The
     decrease in volumes  of oil  sold resulted primarily  from (i)  a
     positive  prior period volume adjustment made  by the operator on
     one well for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and (ii) a
     negative  prior period volume adjustment  made by the operator on
     another well  for the three months ended September 30, 1997.  The
     decrease  in volumes of  gas sold resulted  primarily from normal
     declines in  production due  to  diminished gas  reserves on  one
     well.  Average oil and gas prices decreased  to $17.85 per barrel
     and  $2.20 per  Mcf,  respectively, for  the  three months  ended
     September  30, 1997  from $22.03  per barrel  and $2.22  per Mcf,
     respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 1996.

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses and production taxes) increased $25,929 (159.2%) for the
     three  months ended September 30,  1997 as compared  to the three
     months  ended  September  30,   1996.    This  increase  resulted
     primarily  from (i)  site  restoration expenses  incurred on  two
     wells during the three  months ended September 30, 1997  and (ii)
     the reversal of a  $20,000 accrual during the three  months ended
     September  30,  1996 due  to the  conclusion  of a  certain legal
     contingency.    As  a percentage  of  oil  and  gas sales,  these
     expenses increased to  28.0% for the three months ended September
     30, 1997 from 9.0% for the three months ended September 30, 1996.
     This percentage increase was primarily due to the dollar increase

     in oil and gas production expenses discussed above.

     Depreciation,  depletion,  and   amortization  of  oil   and  gas
     properties decreased  $18,558 (49.0%) for the  three months ended
     September  30,  1997  as  compared  to  the  three  months  ended
     September 30, 1996.  This decrease resulted primarily from upward
     revisions in the estimates  of remaining oil and gas  reserves at
     December 31,  1996.  As a  percentage of oil and  gas sales, this
     expense decreased to  12.8% for the three  months ended September
     30,  1997 from  20.9% for  the three  months ended  September 30,
     1996.  This percentage  decrease was primarily due to  the dollar
     decrease  in depreciation, depletion,  and amortization discussed
     above.

     General and administrative expenses increased $887 (5.8%) for the
     three  months ended September 30,  1997 as compared  to the three
     months  ended  September  30,   1996.    This  increase  resulted
     primarily from an increase in computer consulting fees during the
     three  months ended September 30,  1997 as compared  to the three
     months ended September 30, 1996.   As a percentage of oil and gas
     sales, these  expenses increased  to 10.7% for  the three  months
     ended September 30,  1997 from  8.4% for the  three months  ended
     September 30, 1996.   This percentage increase  was primarily due
     to the decrease in oil and gas sales discussed above.

      Average price/Mcf                 $   2.29        $   1.98

     As shown in the  table above, total  oil and gas sales  decreased
     $45,618  (8.0%) for the nine  months ended September  30, 1997 as
     compared to the nine  months ended September 30,  1996.  Of  this
     decrease, approximately $8,000  and $105,000, respectively,  were
     related  to decreases in volumes  of oil and  gas sold, partially
     offset by  an increase  of approximately  $67,000 related  to the
     increase in  the average price of  gas sold.  Volumes  of oil and
     gas sold decreased 405 barrels and 53,169 Mcf,  respectively, for
     the nine months ended September 30,  1997 as compared to the nine
     months ended September 30, 1996.  The  decrease in volumes of oil
     sold resulted  primarily from  (i) normal declines  in production
     due to diminished  oil reserves on two wells  and (ii) a positive
     prior period volume adjustment  made by the operator on  one well
     during the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  The decrease in
     volumes of  gas sold resulted  primarily from normal  declines in
     production  due  to  diminished  gas  reserves  on  three  wells.
     Average oil and  gas prices  increased to $20.65  per barrel  and
     $2.29  per Mcf, respectively, for the nine months ended September
     30,  1997 from $19.79 per barrel and $1.98 per Mcf, respectively,
     for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses and  production taxes)  decreased $8,600 (7.4%)  for the
     nine  months ended  September 30,  1997 as  compared to  the nine
     months  ended  September  30,   1996.    This  decrease  resulted
     primarily  from  (i) decreases  in volumes  of  oil and  gas sold
     during  the nine months ended  September 30, 1997  as compared to
     the  nine months  ended September  30, 1996,  (ii) a  decrease in
     production taxes  associated with  the decrease  in  oil and  gas
     sales discussed  above, (iii)  workover expenses incurred  on one
     well during the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 in order to
     improve  the recovery of  reserves, and (iv)  the sale  of a well
     during  the third quarter  of 1996, which  decrease was partially
     offset  by  the reversal  of a  $20,000  accrual during  the nine
     months  ended September  30,  1996 due  to  the conclusion  of  a
     certain legal contingency.  As a percentage of oil and gas sales,
     these expenses remained relatively constant at 20.3% for the nine
     months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to 20.2% for the nine
     months ended September 30, 1996.

     Depreciation,   depletion,  and  amortization   of  oil  and  gas
     properties decreased  $28,529 (24.0%)  for the nine  months ended
     September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September
     30, 1996.  This decrease resulted primarily from (i) decreases in
     volumes  of oil  and  gas  sold  during  the  nine  months  ended
     September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September
     30,  1996 and (ii) upward revisions in the estimates of remaining
     oil and  gas reserves at December  31, 1996.  As  a percentage of
     oil  and gas sales, this expense  decreased to 17.2% for the nine
     months  ended September 30, 1997  from 20.8% for  the nine months
     ended September 30, 1996.  This percentage decrease was primarily
     due  to  the  dollar  decrease in  depreciation,  depletion,  and
     amortization  discussed above  and the  increases in  the average
     prices of oil and gas sold during the nine months ended September
     30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

     General and administrative expenses remained  relatively constant

     gas  sales, these expenses increased to 10.5% for the nine months
     ended  September 30,  1997 from  9.2% for  the nine  months ended
     September 30, 1996.   This percentage increase  was primarily due
     to the decrease in oil and gas sales discussed above.

     $106,156 (47.0%) for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as
     compared to the three  months ended September 30, 1996.   Of this
     decrease,  approximately $84,000 and  $13,000, respectively, were
     related to decreases in both the volumes and average price of gas
     sold.  Volumes  of oil  and gas  sold decreased  407 barrels  and
     37,317 Mcf,  respectively, for  the three months  ended September
     30,  1997 as  compared to  the three  months ended  September 30,
     1996.  The  decrease in  volumes of oil  sold resulted  primarily
     from  the normal  decline  in production  due  to diminished  oil
     reserves  on one  well.   The  decrease in  volumes  of gas  sold
     resulted primarily from negative prior  period volume adjustments
     made by the purchaser on two wells during the three  months ended
     September  30, 1997.   Average  oil and  gas prices  decreased to
     $16.33  per barrel and $2.02 per Mcf, respectively, for the three
     months  ended September 30, 1997 from $22.10 per barrel and $2.24
     per Mcf,  respectively, for the three months  ended September 30,
     1996.

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses and production taxes)  increased $10,090 (42.8%) for the
     three  months ended September 30,  1997 as compared  to the three
     months  ended  September  30,   1996.    This  increase  resulted
     primarily from the reversal of a $20,000 accrual during the three
     months  ended September  30,  1996 due  to  the conclusion  of  a
     certain legal  contingency, partially offset by  (i) decreases in
     volumes  of  oil  and gas  sold  during  the  three months  ended
     September  30,  1997  as  compared  to  the  three  months  ended
     September  30,  1996  and (ii)  a  decrease  in production  taxes
     associated  with the  decreases  in oil  and gas  sales discussed
     above.   As a  percentage of  oil and gas  sales, these  expenses
     increased  to 28.1% for the three months ended September 30, 1997
     from 10.4% for  the three months ended September 30,  1996.  This
     percentage increase was primarily due  to the dollar increase  in
     oil and gas production expenses discussed above.

     Depreciation,  depletion,   and  amortization  of   oil  and  gas
     properties decreased  $24,946 (73.2%) for the  three months ended
     September  30,  1997  as  compared  to  the  three  months  ended
     September 30, 1996.  This decrease resulted primarily from upward
     revisions in the estimates  of remaining oil and gas  reserves at
     December 31,  1996.  As a  percentage of oil and  gas sales, this
     expense  decreased to 7.6%  for the three  months ended September
     30,  1997 from  15.1% for  the three  months ended  September 30,
     1996.  This percentage  decrease was primarily due to  the dollar
     decrease  in depreciation, depletion,  and amortization discussed
     above.

     General and administrative expenses remained  relatively constant
     for the three months ended September 30,  1997 as compared to the

     As shown  in the table above,  total oil and gas  sales decreased
     $241,436  (28.3%) for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as
     compared to the  nine months ended  September 30, 1996.   Of this
     decrease,  approximately $297,000  was related  to a  decrease in
     volumes  of  gas  sold,  partially   offset  by  an  increase  of
     approximately  $67,000 related  to  the increase  in the  average
     price of gas  sold.  Volumes  of oil and  gas sold decreased  576
     barrels and  157,257 Mcf, respectively, for the nine months ended
     September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September
     30, 1996.  The decrease in volumes of oil sold resulted primarily
     from  (i) normal  declines  in production  due to  diminished oil
     reserves on two  wells and  (ii) a positive  prior period  volume
     adjustment  made  by the  operator on  one  well during  the nine
     months ended September 30, 1996.  The decrease in volumes  of gas
     sold  resulted primarily  from (i)  negative prior  period volume
     adjustments  made by  the operator  on one  well during  the nine
     months ended  September 30, 1997  and (ii) positive  prior period
     volume  adjustments made by the  operator of one  well during the
     nine months ended September 30, 1996.  Average oil and gas prices
     increased  to $20.95 per barrel and  $2.13 per Mcf, respectively,
     for  the nine  months ended  September 30,  1997 from  $19.60 per
     barrel and $1.89 per Mcf, respectively, for the nine months ended
     September 30, 1996.

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses and production taxes)  decreased $22,824 (16.2%) for the
     nine  months ended  September 30,  1997 as  compared to  the nine
     months  ended  September  30,   1996.    This  decrease  resulted
     primarily  from  (i) decreases  in volumes  of  oil and  gas sold
     during  the nine months ended  September 30, 1997  as compared to
     the nine months  ended September 30, 1996 and  (ii) a decrease in
     production  taxes associated  with the  decrease in  oil and  gas
     sales discussed above, which decrease was partially offset by the
     reversal  of a  $20,000  accrual  during  the nine  months  ended
     September  30,  1996 due  to the  conclusion  of a  certain legal
     contingency.    As  a percentage  of  oil  and  gas sales,  these
     expenses increased to 19.3%  for the nine months  ended September
     30, 1997 from 16.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
     This percentage increase was primarily due to the reversal of the
     $20,000 legal accrual discussed above.

     Depreciation,  depletion,   and  amortization  of  oil   and  gas
     properties decreased  $57,577 (42.2%)  for the nine  months ended
     September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September
     30, 1996.  This decrease resulted primarily from (i) decreases in
     volumes  of oil  and  gas  sold  during  the  nine  months  ended
     September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September
     30,  1996 and (ii) upward revisions in the estimates of remaining
