PART I.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
General
The Dyco Oil and Gas Program 1980-1 Limited Partnership (the "1980-1
Program") and Dyco Oil and Gas Program 1980-2 Limited Partnership (the "1980-2
Program") (collectively, the "Programs") are Minnesota limited partnerships
engaged in the production of oil and gas. The 1980-1 Program and the 1980-2
Program commenced operations on February 15, 1980 and June 16, 1980,
respectively, with the primary financial objective of investing their limited
partners' subscriptions in the drilling of oil and gas prospects and then
distributing to their limited partners all available cash flow from the
Program's on-going production operations. Dyco Petroleum Corporation ("Dyco")
serves as the General Partner of the Programs. See "Item 2. Properties" for a
description of the Programs' reserves and properties.
The limited partnership agreements for each of the Programs (the "Program
Agreements") provides that limited partners are allocated 99% of all Program
costs and revenues and Dyco, as General Partner, is allocated 1% of all Program
costs and revenues. Included in such costs is each Program's reimbursement to
Dyco of the Program's proportionate share of Dyco's geological, engineering, and
general and administrative expenses.
Dyco currently serves as General Partner of 32 limited partnerships,
including the Programs. Dyco is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Samson Investment
Company. Samson Investment Company and its various corporate subsidiaries,
including Dyco, (collectively, the "Samson Companies") are primarily engaged in
the production and development of and exploration for oil and gas reserves and
the acquisition and operation of producing properties. At December 31, 1997, the
Samson Companies owned interests in approximately 13,000 oil and gas wells
located in 19 states of the United States and the countries of Canada,
Venezuela, and Russia. At December 31, 1997, the Samson Companies operated
approximately 2,500 oil and gas wells located in 15 states of the United States,
as well as Canada, Venezuela, and Russia.
As limited partnerships, the Programs have no officers, directors, or
employees. They rely instead on the personnel of Dyco and the other Samson
Companies. As of March 1, 1998, the Samson Companies employed approximately 820
persons. No employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements, and
management believes that the Samson Companies provide a sound employee relations
environment. For information regarding the executive officers of Dyco, see "Item
10. Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant."

Dyco's and the Programs' principal place of business is located at Samson
Plaza, Two West Second Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103, and their telephone number
is (918) 583-1791 or (800) 283-1791.
Funding
Although the Program Agreements permit the Programs to incur borrowings,
each Program's operations and expenses are currently funded out of each
Program's revenues from oil and gas sales. Dyco may, but is not required to,
advance funds to each of the Programs for the same purposes for which Program
borrowings are authorized.
Principal Products Produced and Services Rendered
The Programs' sole business is the development and production of oil and
gas with a concentration on gas. The Programs do not hold any patents,
trademarks, licenses, or concessions and are not a party to any government
contracts. The Programs have no backlog of orders and do not participate in
research and development activities. The Programs are not presently encountering
shortages of oilfield tubular goods, compressors, production material, or other
equipment.
Oil, Gas, and Environmental Control Regulations
Regulation of Production Operations -- The production of oil and gas is
subject to extensive federal and state laws and regulations governing a wide
variety of matters, including the drilling and spacing of wells, allowable rates
of production, prevention of waste and pollution, and protection of the
environment. In addition to the direct costs borne in complying with such
regulations, operations and revenues may be impacted to the extent that certain
regulations limit oil and gas production to below economic levels.
Regulation of Sales and Transportation of Oil and Gas -- Sales of crude
oil and condensate are made by the Programs at market prices and are not subject
to price controls. The sale of gas may be subject to both federal and state laws
and regulations. The provisions of these laws and regulations, are complex and
affect all who produce, resell, transport, or purchase gas, including the
Programs. Although virtually all of the Programs' gas production is not subject
to price regulation, other regulations affect the availability of gas
transportation services and the ability of gas consumers to continue to purchase
or use gas at current levels. Accordingly, such regulations may have a material
effect on the Programs' operations and projections of future oil and gas
production and revenues.
4
<PAGE>
Future Legislation -- Legislation affecting the oil and gas industry is
under constant review for amendment or expansion. Because such laws and
regulations are frequently amended or reinterpreted, management is unable to
predict what additional energy legislation may be proposed or enacted or the
future cost and impact of complying with existing or future regulations.
Regulation of the Environment -- The Programs' operations are subject to
numerous laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the
environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. Compliance with
such laws and regulations, together with any penalties resulting from
noncompliance, may increase the cost of the Programs' operations or may affect
the Programs' ability to timely complete existing or future activities.
Management anticipates that various local, state, and federal environmental
control agencies will have an increasing impact on oil and gas operations.
Significant Customers
Purchases of gas by El Paso Energy Marketing Company ("El Paso") accounted
for approximately 88.0% of the 1980-1 Program's oil and gas sales during the
year ended December 31, 1997. With respect to the 1980-2 Program, purchases of
gas by El Paso accounted for approximately 92.1% of its oil and gas sales during
the year ended December 31, 1997. In the event of interruption of purchases by
this significant customer or the cessation or material change in availability of
open-access transportation by the Programs' pipeline transporters, the Programs
may encounter difficulty in marketing their gas and in maintaining historic
sales levels. Alternative purchasers or transporters may not be readily
available.
The Programs' principal customers for crude oil production are refiners
and other companies which have pipeline facilities near the producing properties
of the Programs. In the event pipeline facilities are not conveniently available
to production areas, crude oil is usually trucked by purchasers to storage
facilities.
Competition and Marketing
The domestic oil and gas industry is highly competitive, with a large
number of companies and individuals engaged in the exploration and development
of oil and gas properties. The ability of the Programs to produce and market oil
and gas profitably depends on a number of factors that are beyond the control of
the Programs. These factors include worldwide political instability (especially
in oil-producing regions), United Nations export embargoes, the supply and price
of foreign imports of oil and gas, the level of consumer product demand (which
can be heavily influenced by weather patterns), government
5
<PAGE>
regulations and taxes, the price and availability of alternative fuels, the
overall economic environment, and the availability and capacity of
transportation and processing facilities. The effect of these factors on future
oil and gas industry trends cannot be accurately predicted or anticipated.
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. Concerning past trends, average yearly wellhead gas prices in the
United States have been volatile for a number of years. For the past ten years,
such average prices have generally been in the $1.40 to $2.40 per Mcf range,
significantly below prices received in the early 1980s. Average gas prices in
the latter part of 1996 and parts of 1997, however, were somewhat higher than
those yearly averages. Gas prices are currently in the middle portion of the
10-year average price range described above.
Substantially all of the Programs' gas reserves are being sold on 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. Spot prices for the Programs' gas decreased from approximately $3.57
per Mcf at December 31, 1996 to approximately $2.32 per Mcf at December 31,
1997. Such prices were on an MMBTU basis and differ from the prices actually
received by the Programs due to transportation and marketing costs, BTU
adjustments, and regional price and quality differences.
For the past ten years, average oil prices have generally been in the
$16.00 to $24.00 per barrel range. Due to global consumption and supply trends
over the last several months, as well as expectations of at least a short-term
slowdown in Asian energy demand, oil prices have recently been in the mid to
lower portions of this pricing range, and in early 1998 dropped to as low as
$12.00 per barrel. It is not known whether this trend will continue. Prices for
the Programs' oil decreased from approximately $23.75 per barrel at December 31,
1996 to approximately $16.25 per barrel at December 31, 1997.
Future prices for both oil and gas will likely be different from (and may
be lower than) the prices in effect on December 31, 1997. Primarily due to
heating season demand, year-end prices in many past years have tended to be
higher, and in some cases significantly higher, than the yearly average price
actually received by the Programs for at least the following year. Management is
unable to predict whether future oil and gas prices will (i) stabilize, (ii)
increase, or (iii) decrease.

Insurance Coverage
The Programs are subject to all of the risks inherent in the exploration
for and production of oil and gas, including blowouts, pollution, fires, and
other casualties. The Programs maintain insurance coverage as is customary for
entities of a similar size engaged in operations similar to that of the
Programs, but losses can occur from uninsurable risks or in amounts in excess of
existing insurance coverage. The occurrence of an event which is not fully
covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the Programs'
financial position and results of operations.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
Well Statistics

(1) The designation of a well as an oil well or gas well is made by Dyco based
on the relative amount of oil and gas reserves for the well. Regardless of
a well's oil or gas designation, it may produce oil, gas, or both oil and
gas.
(2) As used throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Annual Report"),
"Gross Well" refers to a well in which a working interest is owned. The
number of gross wells is the total number of wells in which a working
interest is owned.
(3) As used throughout this Annual Report, "Net Well" refers to the sum of the
fractional working interests owned in gross wells. For example, a 15%
working interest in a well represents one Gross Well, but 0.15 Net Well.

(1) As used throughout this Annual Report, "Bbls" refers to barrels of 42 U.S.
gallons and represents the basic unit for measuring the production of
crude oil and condensate oil.
(2) As used throughout this Annual Report, "Mcf" refers to volume of 1,000
cubic feet under prescribed conditions of pressure and temperature and
represents the basic unit for measuring the production of gas.
(3) Includes lease operating expenses and production taxes.
(4) Oil production is converted to gas equivalents at the rate of six Mcf
per barrel, representing the estimated relative energy content of gas and
oil, which rate is not necessarily indicative of the relationship of oil
and gas prices. The respective prices of oil and gas are affected by
market and other factors in addition to relative energy content.

Proved Reserves and Net Present Value
The following table sets forth the Programs' estimated proved oil and gas
reserves and net present value therefrom as of December 31, 1997. The schedule
of quantities of proved oil and gas reserves was prepared by Dyco in accordance
with the rules prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
As used throughout this Annual Report, "proved reserves" refers to those
estimated quantities of crude oil, gas, and gas liquids which geological and
engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in
future years from known oil and gas reservoirs under existing economic and
operating conditions.
Net present value represents estimated future gross cash flow from the
production and sale of proved reserves, net of estimated oil and gas production
costs (including production taxes, ad valorem taxes, and operating expenses),
and estimated future development costs, discounted at 10% per annum. Net present
value attributable to the Program's proved reserves was calculated on the basis
of current costs and prices at December 31, 1997. Such prices were not escalated
except in certain circumstances where escalations were fixed and readily
determinable in accordance with applicable contract provisions. The prices used
by Dyco in calculating the net present value attributable to the Programs'
proved reserves do not necessarily reflect market prices for oil and gas
production subsequent to December 31, 1997. Year-end prices have generally been
higher than prices during the rest of the year. There can be no assurance that
the prices used in calculating the net present value of the Programs' proved
reserves at December 31, 1997 will actually be realized for such production.
The process of estimating oil and gas reserves is complex, requiring
significant subjective decisions in the evaluation of available geological,
engineering, and economic data for each reservoir. The data for a given
reservoir may change substantially over time as a result of, among other things,
additional development activity, production history, and viability of production
under varying economic conditions; consequently, it is reasonably possible that
material revisions to existing reserve estimates may occur in the near future.
Although every reasonable effort has been made to ensure that these reserve
estimates represent the most accurate assessment possible, the significance of
the subjective decisions required and variances in available data for various
reservoirs make these estimates generally less precise than other estimates
presented in connection with financial statement disclosures.

Significant Properties
1980-1 Program
--------------
As of December 31, 1997, the 1980-1 Program's properties consisted of 43
gross (2.64 net) productive wells. The 1980-1 Program also owned a non-working
interest in an additional 22 wells. Affiliates of the 1980-1 Program operate 21
(32%) of its total wells. As of December 31, 1997, the 1980-1 Program had
estimated total proved reserves of 1,376,965 Mcf of gas and 11,049 barrels of
oil, with a present value (discounted at 10% per annum) of estimated future net
cash flow of $1,748,190. All of the 1980-1 Program's reserves are located in the
Anadarko Basin of western Oklahoma and the Texas panhandle, which is an
established oil and gas producing basin.
11
<PAGE>
1980-2 Program
--------------
As of December 31, 1997, the 1980-2 Program's properties consisted of 49
gross (3.15 net) productive wells. The 1980-2 Program also owned a non-working
interest in an additional 24 wells. Affiliates of the 1980-2 Program operate 23
(32%) of its total wells. As of December 31, 1997, the 1980-2 Program had
estimated total proved reserves of 1,301,400 Mcf of gas and 7,002 barrels of
oil, with a present value (discounted at 10% per annum) of estimated future net
cash flow of $1,311,300. All of the 1980-2 Program's reserves are located in the
Anadarko Basin.
Title to Oil and Gas Properties
Management believes that the Programs have satisfactory title to their oil
and gas properties. Record title to substantially all of the Programs'
properties is held by Dyco as nominee.
Title to the Programs' properties is subject to customary royalty,
overriding royalty, carried, working, and other similar interests and
contractual arrangements customary in the oil and gas industry, to liens for
current taxes not yet due, and to other encumbrances. Management believes that
such burdens do not materially detract from the value of such properties or from
the Programs' interest therein or materially interfere with their use in the
operation of the Programs' business.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On December 27, 1996 the operator of certain wells in which the
Programs own an interest filed a lawsuit against Dyco in which the plaintiff
sought the collection of outstanding joint interest billings. (Apache
Corporation v. Dyco et al., Case No. CJ-96-203, District Court of Beckham
County, Oklahoma.) The wells in question were the Akridge No. 1-3, Damron
No. 1-10, and Damron No. 2-15. The 1980-1 Program and 1980-2 Program each
have an approximate 15% working interest in the combined wells. On November
20, 1997, the parties reached a settlement and the lawsuit was dismissed on
December 5, 1997. The 1980-1 Program's and 1980-2 Program's share of the
settlement was $26,303 and $27,400, respectively. These amounts were paid in
1997.
To the knowledge of the management of Dyco and the Programs, neither Dyco,
the Programs, nor the Programs' properties are subject to any litigation, the
results of which would have a material effect on the Programs' or Dyco's
financial condition or operations.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF LIMITED PARTNERS
There were no matters submitted to a vote of the limited partners of
either Program during 1997.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNITS AND RELATED
LIMITED PARTNER MATTERS
The Programs do not have an established trading market for their units of
limited partnership interest ("Units"). Pursuant to the terms of the Program
Agreements, Dyco, as General Partner, is obligated to annually issue a
repurchase offer which is based on the estimated future net revenues from the
Programs' reserves and is calculated pursuant to the terms of the Agreements.
Such repurchase offer is recalculated monthly in order to reflect cash
distributions made to the limited partners and extraordinary events. The
following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, Dyco's repurchase offer
per Unit and the amount of the Programs' cash distributions per Unit for the
same period. For purposes of this Annual Report, a Unit represents an initial
subscription of $5,000 to a Program.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Use of Forward-Looking Statements and Estimates
This Annual 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 Annual 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.
General Discussion
The following general discussion should be read in conjunction 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. Concerning past trends, average
yearly wellhead gas prices in the United States have been volatile for a number
of years. For the past ten years, such average prices have generally been in the
$1.40 to $2.40 per Mcf range, significantly below prices received in the early
1980s. Average gas prices in the latter part of 1996 and parts of 1997 however,
were somewhat higher than those yearly averages. Gas prices are currently in the
middle portion of the 10-year average price range described above.
Substantially all of the Programs' gas reserves are being sold on the
"spot market." Prices on the spot market are subject to wide seasonal and
regional pricing fluctuations due to the
17
<PAGE>
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. Spot prices for the Programs' gas
decreased from approximately $3.57 per Mcf at December 31, 1996 to approximately
$2.32 per Mcf at December 31, 1997. Such prices were on an MMBTU basis and
differ from the prices actually received by the Programs due to transportation
and marketing costs, BTU adjustments, and regional price and quality
differences.
For the past ten years, average oil prices have generally been in the
$16.00 to $24.00 per barrel range. Due to global consumption and supply trends
over the last several months as well as expectations of at least a short-term
slowdown in Asian energy demand, oil prices have recently been in the mid to
lower portions of this pricing range, and in early 1998 dropped to as low as
$12.00 per barrel. It is not known whether this trend will continue. Prices for
the Programs' oil decreased from approximately $23.75 per barrel at December 31,
1996 to approximately $16.25 per barrel at December 31, 1997.
Future prices for both oil and gas will likely be different from (and may
be lower than) the prices in effect on December 31, 1997. Primarily due to
heating season demand, year-end prices in many past years have tended to be
higher, and in some cases significantly higher, than the yearly average price
actually received by the Programs for at least the following year. Management is
unable to predict whether future oil and gas prices will (i) stabilize, (ii)
increase, or (iii) decrease.
Results of Operations
1980-1 Program
--------------
Year Ended December 31, 1997 Compared
to Year Ended December 31, 1996
--------------------------------------
Total oil and gas sales decreased $88,286 (11.5%) in 1997 as compared to
1996. Of this decrease, approximately $6,000 and $162,000, respectively, were
related to decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold, which decreases were
partially offset by an increase of approximately $81,000 related to an increase
in the average price of gas sold. Volumes of oil and gas sold decreased 283
barrels and 74,828 Mcf, respectively, in 1997 as compared to 1996. The decrease
in volumes of gas sold resulted primarily from (i) normal declines in production
and (ii) positive prior period volume adjustments made by the purchaser on one
well in 1996. Average oil prices decreased to $20.06 per barrel in 1997 from
$20.36 per barrel in 1996. Average gas prices increased to $2.47 per Mcf in 1997
from $2.16 per Mcf in 1996.
18
<PAGE>
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) increased $35,566 (27.5%) in 1997 as compared to 1996. This
increase resulted primarily from (i) the reversal of a $40,000 accrual in 1996
due to the conclusion of certain legal contingencies in favor of the 1980-1
Program and (ii) the settlement of a lawsuit in 1997 (see Item 3. Legal
Proceedings), which increases were partially offset by (i) the decreases in
volumes of oil and gas sold in 1997 and (ii) a decrease in production taxes
associated with the decrease in oil and gas sales discussed above. As a
percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses increased to 24.1% in 1997 from
16.8% in 1996. This percentage increase was primarily due to the increase in oil
and gas production expenses discussed above.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties
increased $15,611 (17.7%) in 1997 as compared to 1996. This increase resulted
primarily from decreases in prices used to value oil and gas reserves in 1997 as
compared to 1996, which increase was partially offset by decreases in volumes of
oil and gas sold in 1997 as compared to 1996. As a percentage of oil and gas
sales, this expense increased to 15.2% in 1997 from 11.4% in 1996. This
percentage increase was primarily due to the increase in depreciation,
depletion, and amortization discussed above.
General and administrative expenses increased $2,069 (3.0%) in 1997 as
compared to 1996. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses increased
to 10.3% in 1997 from 8.8% in 1996. This percentage increase was primarily due
to the decrease in oil and gas sales discussed above.
Year Ended December 31, 1996 Compared
to Year Ended December 31, 1995
-------------------------------------
Total oil and gas sales increased $165,329 (27.3%) for 1996 as compared to
1995. Of this increase, approximately $324,000 was related to an increase in the
average price of gas sold, which amount was partially offset by a decrease of
approximately $158,000 related to a decrease in volumes of gas sold. Volumes of
oil and gas sold decreased 371 barrels and 73,349 Mcf, respectively, for 1996 as
compared to 1995. The decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold resulted
primarily from normal declines in production on several wells due to such wells'
diminished reserves. Average oil and gas prices increased to $20.36 per barrel
and $2.16 per Mcf, respectively, for 1996 from $17.38 per barrel and $1.37 per
Mcf, respectively, for 1995.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) decreased $64,062 (33.1%) for 1996 as compared to 1995. This
decrease resulted primarily from (i) credits received on two wells during 1996
for prior period environmental charges and (ii) the reversal of a $40,000
accrual during 1996 due to the conclusion of certain legal contingencies
19
<PAGE>
in favor of the 1980-1 Program, which amounts were partially offset by an
increase in production taxes associated with the increase in oil and gas sales
during 1996 as compared to 1995. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these
expenses decreased to 16.8% for 1996 from 31.9% for 1995. This percentage
decrease was primarily due to the dollar decrease in production expenses
discussed above and the increases in the average prices of oil and gas sold
during 1996.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties
decreased $34,832 (28.3%) for 1996 as compared to 1995. This decrease resulted
primarily from (i) the decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold during 1996 as
compared to 1995 and (ii) an upward revision in the estimate of remaining gas
reserves at December 31, 1996. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, this
expense decreased to 11.4% for 1996 from 20.3% for 1995. 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 1996.
General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant for 1996
as compared to 1995. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses
decreased to 8.8% for 1996 from 11.4% for 1995. This percentage decrease was
primarily due to the increase in oil and gas sales during 1996.
1980-2 Program
--------------
Year Ended December 31, 1997 Compared
to Year Ended December 31, 1996
-------------------------------------
Total oil and gas sales decreased $191,806 (18.8%) in 1997 as compared to
1996. Of this decrease, approximately $11,000 and $236,000, respectively, were
related to decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold, which decreases were
partially offset by an increase of approximately $53,000 related to an increase
in the average price of gas sold. Volumes of oil and gas sold decreased 530
barrels and 112,013 Mcf, respectively, in 1997 as compared to 1996. The decrease
in volumes of gas sold resulted primarily from (i) positive prior period volume
adjustments made by the purchasers on two wells in 1996, (ii) negative prior
period volume adjustments made by the purchaser on one well in 1997, and (iii)
normal declines in production. Average oil and gas prices increased to $20.41
per barrel and $2.26 per Mcf, respectively, in 1997 from $19.86 per barrel and
$2.11 per Mcf, respectively, in 1996.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) increased $48,324 (26.8%) in 1997 as compared to 1996. This
increase resulted primarily from (i) the reversal of a $40,000 accrual in 1996
due to the conclusion
20
<PAGE>
of certain legal contingencies in favor of the 1980-2 Program and (ii) the
settlement of a lawsuit in 1997 (see Item 3. Legal Proceedings), which increases
were partially offset by (i) the decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold in
1997 and (ii) a decrease in production taxes associated with the decrease in oil
and gas sales discussed above. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these
expenses increased to 27.5% in 1997 from 17.6% in 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
increased $10,636 (12.0%) in 1997 as compared to 1996. This increase resulted
primarily from decreases in prices used to value oil and gas reserves in 1997 as
compared to 1996. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, this expense increased
to 11.9% in 1997 from 8.6% in 1996. This percentage increase was primarily due
to the dollar increase in depreciation, depletion and amortization discussed
above.
General and administrative expenses increased $2,981 (3.0%) in 1997 as
compared to 1996. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses increased
to 12.4% in 1997 from 9.8% in 1996. This percentage increase was primarily due
to the decrease in oil and gas sales discussed above.
Year Ended December 31, 1996 Compared
to Year Ended December 31, 1995
-------------------------------------
Total oil and gas sales increased $201,969 (24.6%) for 1996 as compared to
1995. Of this increase, approximately $398,000 was related to an increase in the
average price of gas sold, which amount was partially offset by a decrease of
approximately $196,000 related to a decrease in volumes of gas sold. Volumes of
oil and gas sold decreased 278 barrels and 92,678 Mcf, respectively, during 1996
as compared to 1995. The decrease in volumes of oil sold resulted primarily from
normal declines in production on several wells due to diminished oil reserves.
The decrease in volumes of gas sold resulted primarily from a positive prior
period volume adjustment made by the operator of one well during 1995, partially
offset by positive prior period volume adjustments made by the purchasers on two
wells in 1996. Average oil and gas prices increased to $19.86 per barrel and
$2.11 per Mcf, respectively, for 1996 from $17.67 per barrel and $1.40 per Mcf,
respectively, for 1995.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) decreased $235,510 (56.7%) for 1996 as compared to 1995. This
decrease resulted primarily from (i) significant workover charges incurred on
one well during 1995 in order to improve the recovery of reserves, (ii) the
reversal of a $40,000 accrual during 1996 due to the conclusion of certain
21
<PAGE>
legal contingencies in favor of the 1980-2 Program, and (iii) credits received
on two wells during 1996 for prior period environmental charges. As a percentage
of oil and gas sales, these expenses decreased to 17.6% for 1996 from 50.7% for
1995. This percentage decease was primarily due to the dollar decrease in
production expenses discussed above and the increases in the average prices of
oil and gas sold during 1996 as compared to 1995.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties
decreased $42,397 (32.4%) for 1996 as compared to 1995. This decrease resulted
primarily from (i) an upward revision in the estimate of remaining gas reserves
at December 31, 1996 and (ii) the decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold
during 1996 as compared to 1995. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, this
expense decreased to 8.6% for 1996 from 15.9% for 1995. 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 1996 as compared to 1995.
General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant for 1996
as compared to 1995. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses
decreased to 9.8% for 1996 from 12.4% for 1995. This percentage decrease was
primarily due to the increase in oil and gas sales during 1996 as compared to
1995.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net proceeds from operations less necessary operating capital are
distributed to the limited partners on a quarterly basis. See "Item 5. Market
for the Registrant's Limited Partnership Units and Related Limited Partner
Matters." 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 reserves, thereby resulting in
a positive economic impact. Assuming production levels for 1997, the 1980-1 and
1980-2 Program's proved reserve quantities at December 31, 1997 would have
remaining lives of approximately 5.3 and 3.7 years, respectively, for gas
reserves and approximately 6.1 and 5.6 years, respectively, for oil reserves.
However, since the Programs' reserve estimates are based on oil and gas prices
at December 31, 1997, it is possible that a significant decrease in oil and gas
prices from December 31, 1997 levels will reduce such reserves and their
corresponding life-span.
The Programs' available capital from the limited partners' subscriptions
has been spent on oil and gas drilling activities and there should be no further
material capital resource commitments in the future. Occasional expenditures by
the Programs for well completions or workovers, however, may reduce
22
<PAGE>
or eliminate cash available for a particular quarterly cash distribution. The
Programs have no debt commitments. Cash for operational purposes will be
provided by current oil and gas production.
There can be no assurance as to the amount of the Programs' future cash
distributions. The Programs' ability to make cash distributions depends
primarily upon the level of available cash flow generated by the Programs'
operating activities, which will be affected (either positively or negatively)
by many factors beyond the control of the Programs, including the price of and
demand for oil and gas and other market and economic conditions. Even if prices
and costs remain stable, the amount of cash available for distributions will
decline over time (as the volume of production from producing properties
declines) since the Programs are not replacing production through acquisitions
of producing properties and drilling.
Inflation and Changing Prices
Prices obtained for oil and gas production depend upon numerous factors,
including the extent of domestic and foreign production, foreign imports of oil,
market demand, domestic and foreign economic conditions in general, and
governmental regulations and tax laws. The general level of inflation in the
economy did not have a material effect on the operations of the Programs in
1997. Oil and gas prices have fluctuated during recent years and generally have
not followed the same pattern as inflation. See "Item 2.
Properties - Oil and Gas Production, Revenue, and Price History."
Year 2000 Computer Issues
Dyco has reviewed its computer systems and hardware to locate potential
operational problems associated with the year 2000. Such review will continue
until all potential problems are located and resolved. Dyco believes that all
year-2000 problems in its computer system have been or will be resolved in a
timely manner and have not caused and will not cause either (i) disruption of
the Programs' operations or (ii) a material effect on the Programs' financial
condition or results of operations. However, it is possible that the Programs'
cash flows could be disrupted by year-2000 problems experienced by operators of
the Programs' wells, buyers of the Programs' oil and gas, financial institutions
or other persons. Dyco is unable to quantify the effect, if any, on the Program
of year-2000 computer problems which may be experienced by these third parties.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
TO THE PARTNERS
DYCO OIL AND GAS PROGRAM 1980-1 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
We have audited the financial statements of the Dyco Oil and Gas Program
1980-1 Limited Partnership (a Minnesota limited partnership) as listed in Item
14(a) of this Annual Report. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Program's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Dyco Oil and Gas Program
1980-1 Limited Partnership at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its
operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

DYCO OIL AND GAS PROGRAM 1980-1 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Nature of Operations
The Dyco Oil and Gas Program 1980-1 Limited Partnership (the
"Program"), a Minnesota limited partnership, commenced operations on
February 15, 1980. Dyco Petroleum Corporation ("Dyco") is the General
Partner of the Program. Affiliates of Dyco owned 1,751 (43.3%) of the
Program's Units at December 31, 1997.
The Program's sole business is the development and production of oil
and gas with a concentration on gas. Substantially all of the Program's
gas reserves are being sold regionally in the "spot market." Due to the
highly competitive nature of the spot market, prices on the spot market
are subject to wide seasonal and regional pricing fluctuations. In
addition, such spot market sales are generally short-term in nature and
are dependent upon the obtaining of transportation services provided by
pipelines.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Program considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity
of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash
equivalents are not insured, which cause the Program to be subject to
risk.
Credit Risk
Accrued oil and gas sales which are due from a variety of oil and
gas purchasers subject the Program to a concentration of credit risk. Some
of these purchasers are discussed in Note 3 - Major Customers. Subsequent
to year-end, all oil and gas sales accrued as of December 31, 1997 have
been collected.
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. Capitalized costs are depleted on the gross revenue method
using estimates of proved reserves. The full cost amortization rates per
equivalent Mcf of gas produced
29
<PAGE>
during the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, were $0.38,
$0.25, and $0.29, respectively. The Program's 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
("SEC")) the excess is charged to expense in the year during which such
excess occurs. In addition, the SEC rules provide that if prices decline
subsequent to year end, any excess that results from these declines may
also be charged to expense during the current year. 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.
Deferred Charge
The Deferred Charge at December 31, 1997 and 1996 represents costs
deferred for lease operating expenses incurred in connection with the
Program's underproduced gas imbalance positions. The rate used in
calculating the deferred charge is the average of the annual production
costs per Mcf. At December 31, 1997, cumulative total gas sales volumes
for underproduced wells were less than the Program's pro-rata share of
total gas production from these wells by 269,317 Mcf, resulting in prepaid
lease operating expenses of $126,390. At December 31, 1996, cumulative
total gas sales volumes for underproduced wells were less than the
Program's pro-rata share of total gas production from these wells by
310,616 Mcf, resulting in prepaid lease operating expenses of $100,640.
Accrued Liability
The Accrued Liability at December 31, 1997 and 1996 represents
charges accrued for lease operating expenses incurred in connection with
the Program's overproduced gas imbalance positions. The rate used in
calculating the accrued liability is the average of the annual production
costs per Mcf. At December 31, 1997, cumulative total gas sales volumes
for overproduced wells exceeded the Program's pro-rata share of total gas
production from these wells by 94,991, resulting in accrued lease
operating expenses of $44,579. At December 31, 1996, cumulative total gas
sales volumes for overproduced wells exceeded the Program's pro-rata share
of total gas production from these wells by 109,345 Mcf, resulting in
accrued lease operating expenses of $35,428.
30
<PAGE>
Oil and Gas Sales and Gas Imbalance Payable
The Program's oil and condensate production is sold, title passed,
and revenue recognized at or near the Program's wells under short-term
purchase contracts at prevailing prices in accordance with arrangements
which are customary in the oil industry. Sales of gas applicable to the
Program's interest in producing oil and gas leases are recorded as income
when the gas is metered and title transferred pursuant to the gas sales
contracts covering the Program's interest in gas reserves. During such
times as the Program's sales of gas exceed its pro rata ownership in a
well, such sales are recorded as income unless total sales from the well
have exceeded the Program's share of estimated total gas reserves
underlying the property at which time such excess is recorded as a
liability. The rates per Mcf used to calculate this liability are based on
the average gas prices received for the volumes at the time the
overproduction occurred. At December 31, 1997 total sales exceeded the
Program's share of estimated total gas reserves on six wells by $11,046
(7,364 Mcf). At December 31, 1996 total sales exceeded the Program's share
of estimated total gas reserves on two wells by $1,034 (689 Mcf). These
amounts were recorded as gas imbalance payables at December 31, 1997 and
1996 in accordance with the sales method.
Use of Estimates in Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Further, the deferred charge, the gas imbalance payable, and
the accrued liability all involve estimates which could materially differ
from the actual amounts ultimately realized in the near term. Oil and gas
reserves (see Note 4) also involve significant estimates which could
materially differ from the actual amounts ultimately realized.
Income Taxes
Income or loss for income tax purposes is includable in the income
tax returns of the partners. Accordingly, no recognition has been given to
income taxes in the accompanying financial statements.
31
<PAGE>
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
Under the terms of the Program 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 years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995,
such expenses totaled $70,286, $68,217, and $68,974 of which $56,088 was
paid each year to Dyco and its affiliates.
Affiliates of the Program operate certain of the Program's
properties. Their policy is to bill the Program for all customary charges
and cost reimbursements associated with these activities, together with
any compressor rentals, consulting, or other services provided. Such
charges are comparable to third party charges in the area where the wells
are located and are the same as charged to other working interest owners
in the wells.
During 1995 the Program sold gas at market prices to El Paso Energy
Marketing Company, formerly known as Premier Gas Company ("El Paso"). El
Paso, like other similar gas marketing firms, then resold such gas to
third parties at market prices. El Paso was an affiliate of the Program
until December 6, 1995. During 1995, these sales totaled $524,274.
3. MAJOR CUSTOMERS
The following purchaser individually accounted for 10% or more of
the combined oil and gas sales of the Program for the years ended December
31, 1997, 1996, and 1995:
Purchaser 1997 1996 1995
--------- ----- ----- -----
El Paso 88.0% 91.4% 86.6%
In the event of interruption of purchases by this significant
customer or the cessation or material change in availability of
open-access transportation by the Program's pipeline transporters, the
Program may encounter difficulty in marketing its gas and in maintaining
historic sales levels. Alternative purchasers or transporters may not be
readily available.
4. SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS INFORMATION
The following supplemental information regarding the oil and gas
activities of the Program is presented pursuant to the disclosure
requirements promulgated by the SEC.

The process of estimating oil and gas reserves is complex, requiring
significant subjective decisions in the evaluation of available
geological, engineering, and economic data for each reservoir. The data
for a given reservoir may change substantially over time as a result of,
among other things, additional development activity, production history,
and viability of production under varying economic conditions;
consequently, it is reasonably possible that material revisions to
existing reserve estimates may occur in the near future. Although every
reasonable effort has been made to ensure that the reserve estimates
reported herein represent the most accurate assessment possible, the
significance of the subjective decisions required and variances in
available data for various reservoirs make these estimates generally less
precise than other estimates presented in connection with financial
statement disclosures. The Program's reserves were determined at December
31, 1997 using oil and gas prices of $16.25 per barrel and $2.32 per Mcf,
respectively.

DYCO OIL AND GAS PROGRAM 1980-2 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Nature of Operations
The Dyco Oil and Gas Program 1980-2 Limited Partnership (the
"Program"), a Minnesota limited partnership, commenced operations on June
16, 1980. Dyco Petroleum Corporation ("Dyco") is the General Partner of
the Program. Affiliates of Dyco owned 2,084 (41.2%) of the Program's Units
at December 31, 1997.
The Program's sole business is the development and production of oil
and gas with a concentration on gas. Substantially all of the Program's
gas reserves are being sold regionally in the "spot market." Due to the
highly competitive nature of the spot market, prices on the spot market
are subject to wide seasonal and regional pricing fluctuations. In
addition, such spot market sales are generally short-term in nature and
are dependent upon the obtaining of transportation services provided by
pipelines.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Program considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity
of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash
equivalents are not insured, which cause the Program to be subject to
risk.
Credit Risk
Accrued oil and gas sales which are due from a variety of oil and
gas purchasers subject the Program to a concentration of credit risk. Some
of these purchasers are discussed in Note 3 - Major Customers. Subsequent
to year-end, all oil and gas sales accrued as of December 31, 1997 have
been collected.
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. Capitalized costs are depleted on the gross revenue method
using estimates of proved reserves. The full cost amortization rates per
equivalent Mcf of gas produced
41
<PAGE>
during the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995 were $0.27,
$0.18, and $0.23, respectively. The Program's 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
("SEC")) the excess is charged to expense in the year 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.
Deferred Charge
The Deferred Charge at December 31, 1997 and 1996 represents costs
deferred for lease operating expenses incurred in connection with the
Program's underproduced gas imbalance positions. The rate used in
calculating the deferred charge is the average of the annual production
costs per Mcf. At December 31, 1997, cumulative total gas sales volumes
for underproduced wells were less than the Program's pro-rata share of
total gas production from these wells by 208,849 Mcf, resulting in prepaid
lease operating expenses of $75,520. At December 31, 1996, cumulative
total gas sales volumes for underproduced wells were less than the
Program's pro-rata share of total gas production from these wells by
265,708 Mcf, resulting in prepaid lease operating expenses of $72,884.
Accrued Liability
The Accrued Liability at December 31, 1997 and 1996 represents
charges accrued for lease operating expenses incurred in connection with
the Program's overproduced gas imbalance positions. The rate used in
calculating the accrued liability is the average of the annual production
costs per Mcf. At December 31, 1997, cumulative total gas sales volumes
for overproduced wells exceeded the Program's pro-rata share of total gas
production from these wells by 368,269 Mcf, resulting in accrued lease
operating expenses of $133,166. At December 31, 1996, cumulative total gas
sales volumes for overproduced wells exceeded the Program's pro-rata share
of total gas production from these wells by 355,720 Mcf, resulting in
accrued lease operating expenses of $97,574.

<PAGE>
Oil and Gas Sales and Gas Imbalance Payable
The Program's oil and condensate production is sold, title passed
and revenue recognized at or near the Program's wells under short-term
purchase contracts at prevailing prices in accordance with arrangements
which are customary in the oil industry. Sales of gas applicable to the
Program's interest in producing oil and gas leases are recorded as income
when the gas is metered and title transferred pursuant to the gas sales
contracts covering the Program's interest in gas reserves. During such
times as the Program's sales of gas exceed its pro rata ownership in a
well, such sales are recorded as income unless total sales from the well
have exceeded the Program's share of estimated total gas reserves
underlying the property at which time such excess is recorded as a
liability. The rates per Mcf used to calculate this liability are based on
the average gas prices received for the volumes at the time the
overproduction occurred. At December 31, 1997 total sales exceeded the
Program's share of estimated total gas reserves on three wells by $71,205
(47,470 Mcf). At December 31, 1996 total sales exceeded the Program's
share of estimated total gas reserves on six wells by $64,761 (43,174
Mcf). These amounts were recorded as gas imbalance payables at December
31, 1997 and 1996 in accordance with the sales method.
Use of Estimates in Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Further, the deferred charge, the gas imbalance payable, and
the accrued liability all involve estimates which could materially differ
from the actual amounts ultimately realized in the near term. Oil and gas
reserves (see Note 4) also involve significant estimates which could
materially differ from the actual amounts ultimately realized.
Income Taxes
Income or loss for income tax purposes is includable in the income
tax returns of the partners. Accordingly, no recognition has been given to
income taxes in the accompanying financial statements.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
Under the terms of the Program 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 years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995,
such expenses totaled $103,189, $100,208, and $101,606, respectively, of
which $85,620 was paid each year to Dyco and its affiliates.
Affiliates of the Program operate certain of the Program's
properties. Their policy is to bill the Program for all customary charges
and cost reimbursements associated with these activities, together with
any compressor rentals, consulting, or other services provided. Such
charges are comparable to third party charges in the area where the wells
are located and are the same as charged to other working interest owners
in the wells.
During 1995 the Program sold gas at market prices to El Paso Energy
Marketing Company, formerly known as Premier Gas Company ("El Paso"). El
Paso, like other similar gas marketing firms, then resold such gas to
third parties at market prices. El Paso was an affiliate of the Program
until December 6, 1995. During 1995, these sales totaled $720,777.
3. MAJOR CUSTOMERS
The following purchaser individually accounted for 10% or more of
the combined oil and gas sales of the Program for the years ended December
31, 1997, 1996, and 1995:
Purchaser 1997 1996 1995
--------- ----- ----- -----
El Paso 92.1% 89.7% 87.9%
In the event of interruption of purchases by this significant
customer or the cessation or material change in availability of
open-access transportation by the Program's pipeline transporters, the
Program may encounter difficulty in marketing its gas and in maintaining
historic sales levels. Alternative purchasers or transporters may not be
readily available.

Quantities of Proved Oil and Gas Reserves - Unaudited
Set forth below is a summary of the changes in the net quantities of the
Program's proved crude oil and gas reserves for the years ended December 31,
1997, 1996, and 1995. Proved reserves were estimated by petroleum engineers
employed by affiliates of the Program. All of the Program's reserves are located
in the United States. The following information includes certain gas balancing
adjustments which cause the gas volumes to differ from the reserve information
prepared by Dyco.

The process of estimating oil and gas reserves is complex, requiring
significant subjective decisions in the evaluation of available
geological, engineering, and economic data for each reservoir. The data
for a given reservoir may change substantially over time as a result of,
among other things, additional development activity, production history,
and viability of production under varying economic conditions;
consequently, it is reasonably possible that material revisions to
existing reserve estimates may occur in the near future. Although every
reasonable effort has been made to ensure that the reserve estimates
reported herein represent the most accurate assessment possible, the
significance of the subjective decisions required and variances in
available data for various reservoirs make these estimates generally less
precise than other estimates presented in connection with financial
statement disclosures. The Program's reserves were determined at December
31, 1997 using oil and gas prices of $16.25 per barrel and $2.32 per Mcf,
respectively.

directors, or ten percent owners who were delinquent filers during 1997 of
reports required under Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Programs are limited partnerships and, therefore, have no officers or
directors. The following table summarizes the amounts paid by the Programs as
compensation and reimbursements to Dyco and its affiliates for the three years
ended December 31, 1997:

(1) The authority for all of such compensation and reimbursement is the
Program Agreements. With respect to the Operations activities noted in the
table, management believes that such compensation is equal to or less than
that charged by unaffiliated persons in the same geographic areas and
under the same conditions.
(2) Affiliates of the Programs serve as operator of some of the Programs'
wells. Dyco, as General Partner, contracts with such affiliates for
services as operator of the wells. As operator, such affiliates are
compensated at rates provided in the operating agreements in effect and
charged to all parties to such agreement. The dollar amount of such
compensation paid by the Programs to such affiliates is impossible to
quantify as of the date of this Annual Report.
49
<PAGE>
(3) During 1995 El Paso, an affiliate of the Programs until December 6, 1995,
purchased a portion of the Programs' gas at market prices and resold such
gas at market prices directly to end-users and local distribution
companies. During 1995, the 1980-1 and 1980-2 Programs sold $524,274 and
$720,777, respectively, of gas to El Paso. After December 6, 1995 the
Programs' gas was marketed by Dyco and its affiliates, who were reimbursed
for such activities as general and administrative expenses.
(4) The Programs reimburse Dyco and its affiliates for reasonable and
necessary general and administrative, geological, and engineering expenses
and direct expenses incurred in connection with their management and
operation of the Programs. The directors, officers, and employees of Dyco
and its affiliates receive no direct remuneration from the Programs for
their services to the Programs. See "Salary Reimbursement Table" below.
The allocable general and administrative, geological, and engineering
expenses are apportioned on a reasonable basis between the Programs'
business and all other oil and gas activities of Dyco and its affiliates,
including Dyco's management and operation of affiliated oil and gas
limited partnerships. The allocation to the Programs of these costs is
made by Dyco as General Partner.
As noted in the Compensation/Reimbursement Table above, the directors,
officers, and employees of Dyco and their affiliates receive no direct
remuneration from the Programs for their services. However, to the extent such
services represent direct involvement with the Programs, as opposed to general
corporate functions, such persons' salaries are allocated to and reimbursed by
the Programs. Such allocation to the Programs' general and administrative,
geological, and engineering expenses of the salaries of directors, officers, and
employees of Dyco and its affiliates is based on internal records maintained by
Dyco and its affiliates, and represents investor relations, legal, accounting,
data processing, management, gas marketing and other functions directly
attributable to the Programs' operations. The following table indicates the
approximate amount of general and administrative expense reimbursement
attributable to the salaries of the directors, officers, and employees of Dyco
and its affiliates for the three years ended December 31, 1997:

In addition to the compensation/reimbursements noted above, during the
three years ended December 31, 1997 the Samson Companies were in the business of
supplying field and drilling equipment and services to affiliated and
unaffiliated parties in the industry. These companies may have provided
equipment and services for wells in which the Programs have an interest. Such
equipment and services were provided at prices or rates equal to or less than
those normally charged in the same or comparable geographic area by unaffiliated
persons or companies dealing at arm's length. The operators of these wells bill
the Programs for a portion of such costs based upon the Programs' interest in
the well.
ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table provides information as to the beneficial ownership of
the Programs' Units as of February 28, 1998 by each beneficial owner of more
than 5% of the issued and outstanding Units and by the directors, officers, and
affiliates of Dyco. The address of each of such persons is Samson Plaza, Two
West Second Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103.

53
<PAGE>
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Certain affiliates of Dyco engage in oil and gas activities independently
of the Programs which result in conflicts of interest that cannot be totally
eliminated. The allocation of acquisition and drilling opportunities and the
nature of the compensation arrangements between the Programs and such affiliates
also create potential conflicts of interest. An affiliate of the Programs owns a
significant amount of the Programs' Units and therefore has an identity of
interest with other limited partners with respect to the operations of the
Programs.
In order to attempt to assure limited liability for limited partners as
well as an orderly conduct of business, management of the Programs is exercised
solely by Dyco. The Program Agreements grant Dyco broad discretionary authority
with respect to the Programs' participation in drilling prospects and
expenditure and control of funds, including borrowings. These provisions are
similar to those contained in prospectuses and partnership agreements for other
public oil and gas partnerships. Broad discretion as to general management of
the Programs involves circumstances where Dyco has conflicts of interest and
where it must allocate costs and expenses, or opportunities, among the Programs
and other competing interests.
Dyco does not devote all of its time, efforts, and personnel exclusively
to the Programs. Furthermore, the Programs do not have any employees, but
instead rely on the personnel of the Samson Companies. The Programs thus compete
with the Samson Companies (including other currently sponsored oil and gas
programs) for the time and resources of such personnel. The Samson Companies
devote such time and personnel to the management of the Programs as are
indicated by the circumstances and as are consistent with Dyco's fiduciary
duties.
Affiliates of the Programs are solely responsible for the negotiation,
administration, and enforcement of oil and gas sales agreements covering the
Programs' leasehold interests. Because affiliates of the Programs who provided
services to the Programs have fiduciary or other duties to other members of the
Samson Companies, contract amendments and negotiating positions taken by them in
their effort to enforce contracts with purchasers may not necessarily represent
the positions that a Program would take if it were to administer its own
contracts without involvement with other members of the Samson Companies. On the
other hand, management believes that the Programs' negotiating strength and
contractual positions have been enhanced by virtue of its affiliation with the
Samson Companies.
For a description of certain other relationships and related transactions
