Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
             and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Nine months ended  September 30, 2000 compared with nine months ended  September
  30, 1999

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues  increased 88% to $1,121,194 for the nine
months ended  September  30, 2000 as compared to $595,627 for the same period in
1999.  The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received and

                                        7

an increase in oil  production.  For the nine months ended  September  30, 2000,
33,684 barrels of oil, 7,631 barrels of natural gas liquids  ("NGLs") and 34,418
mcf of gas were sold, or 47,051 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the nine
months ended  September 30, 1999,  32,089  barrels of oil, 8,530 barrels of NGLs
and 37,863 mcf of gas were sold, or 46,930 BOEs.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  increased  $13.01,  or 85%, from
$15.32  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999 to $28.33 for the same
period in 2000. The average price  received per barrel of NGLs increased  $5.36,
or 85%, from $6.28 during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to $11.64 for
the same period in 2000. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 69%
from $1.34 during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to $2.27 for the same
period in 2000. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely  volatile in
the past  decade  and  management  expects a certain  amount  of  volatility  to
continue in the  foreseeable  future.  The  Partnership  may therefore  sell its
future  oil and gas  production  at  average  prices  lower or higher  than that
received during the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

Gains on disposition of assets of $23,311 and $22,673 were recognized during the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The gain recognized
during the  period  ended  September  30,  2000 was  comprised  of $10,858  from
equipment  credits on one well plugged and  abandoned in the current  period and
$17,081 salvage income  primarily from wells plugged and abandoned  during 1999,
offset by a $4,628 loss on the  abandonment of two  additional  wells plugged in
the current period.  The gain  recognized  during the period ended September 30,
1999 consisted of $15,129 due to the  abandonment of one well during the current
period and $7,544  primarily from equipment  credits on several wells.  Expenses
incurred  during the nine months ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999 to plug and
abandon these wells were $17,107 and $17,855, respectively.

Costs and Expenses:

Total  costs and  expenses  increased  to  $695,781  for the nine  months  ended
September  30,  2000 as compared  to  $527,543  for the same period in 1999,  an
increase of $168,238,  or 32%. This increase was the result of higher production
costs and general and  administrative  expenses  ("G&A"),  offset by declines in
depletion and abandoned property costs.

Production  costs were $592,352 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
$414,400 for the same period in 1999, resulting in a $177,952 increase,  or 43%.
The increase was primarily due to  additional  workover  expenses of $82,130 and
well  maintenance  costs  incurred to stimulate  well  production of $53,195 and
higher production taxes of $38,547 associated with higher oil and gas prices.

G&A's  components are independent  accounting and engineering  fees and managing
general  partner  personnel  and  operating  costs.   During  this  period,  G&A
increased,  in aggregate,  88%, from $17,869 for the nine months ended September
30,  1999 to  $33,636  for the same  period  in 2000  primarily  due to a higher
allocation of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated  (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Depletion  was $52,686 for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 compared to
$77,419 for the same period in 1999, representing a decrease of $24,733, or 32%.
This  decrease  was the  result of  a combination  of factors  that  included an

                                        8

increase in proved  reserves due to higher  commodity  prices as compared to the
same period in 1999 and a reduction in the  Partnership's  net depletable  basis
from  charges  taken  in  accordance  with  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 121,  "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for
Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121") during the fourth  quarter of
1999,  offset by an increase  in oil  production  of 1,595  barrels for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999.

Three months ended September 30, 2000 compared with three months ended September
  30, 1999

Revenues:

The Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  increased 74% to $425,268 for the three
months ended  September  30, 2000 as compared to $243,870 for the same period in
1999. The increase in revenues  resulted from higher average prices received and
an increase in oil  production.  For the three months ended  September 30, 2000,
11,999 barrels of oil, 2,647 barrels of NGLs and 11,524 mcf of gas were sold, or
16,567 BOEs.  For the three months ended  September 30, 1999,  10,079 barrels of
oil, 2,612 barrels of NGLs and 12,673 mcf of gas were sold, or 14,803 BOEs.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  increased  $10.15,  or 51%, from
$19.99 for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1999 to $30.14 for the same
period in 2000. The average price  received per barrel of NGLs increased  $4.24,
or 54%,  from $7.81 during the three months ended  September  30, 1999 to $12.05
for the same period in 2000. The average price received per mcf of gas increased
58% from $1.74 during the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $2.75 for the
same period in 2000.

Loss on disposition of assets of $1,034 recognized during the three months ended
September 30, 2000 resulted  primarily  from the loss on the  abandonment of two
wells  plugged  during the  current  period.  Gain on  disposition  of assets of
$17,374 recognized during the three months ended September 30, 1999 consisted of
$15,129 due to the  abandonment of one well during the current period and $2,245
primarily from equipment credits on several wells.  Expenses incurred during the
three months ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999 to plug and abandon these wells
were $4,038 and $16,042, respectively.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and  expenses  increased  to  $268,686  for the three  months  ended
September  30,  2000 as compared  to  $183,302  for the same period in 1999,  an
increase of $85,384,  or 47%. This increase was the result of higher  production
costs, G&A and depletion, offset by a decline in abandoned property costs.

Production costs were $232,421 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and
$142,879 for the same period in 1999, resulting in an $89,542 increase,  or 63%.
The increase was primarily due to  additional  workover  expenses of $45,292 and
well  maintenance  costs  incurred to stimulate  well  production of $24,845 and
higher production taxes of $15,347 associated with higher oil and gas prices.

During this period, G&A increased,  in aggregate,  74% from $7,316 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999 to $12,758 for the same period in 2000 primarily
due to a higher allocation of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated
(limited to 3% of oil and gas  revenues)  as a result of  increased  oil and gas
revenues.

Depletion was $19,469 for the three months ended  September 30, 2000 compared to
$17,065 for the same period in 1999, representing an increase of $2,404, or 14%.
This increase was attributable to an increase in oil production of 1,920 barrels
for the three months  ended  September  30, 2000  compared to the same period in
1999,  offset by a reduction  in the  Partnership's  net  depletable  basis from
charges taken in accordance  with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1999 and
an  increase  in proved  reserves  as a result of higher  commodity  prices when
compared to the respective information for the same period in 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating  activities  increased  $318,263  during the nine
months ended  September 30, 2000 from the same period ended  September 30, 1999.
The increase was  attributable  to an increase in oil and gas sales  receipts of
$514,457  and a decrease in  abandoned  property  costs paid of $748,  offset by
increases in production costs paid of $180,140 and G&A expenses paid of $16,802.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

The  Partnership's  investing  activities during the nine months ended September
30, 2000 and 1999 were  related to upgrades of oil and gas  equipment  on active
properties.

Proceeds from  disposition of assets of $43,366 and $15,127 were received during
the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The proceeds
recognized  during the period in 2000 were primarily  from equipment  credits on
wells plugged and abandoned during 2000 and 1999. The proceeds recognized during
the period in 1999 were primarily due to the abandonment of one well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, cash distributions to the partners
were $450,855,  of which $4,509 was distributed to the managing  general partner
and $446,346 to the limited  partners.  For the same period ended  September 30,
1999,  cash  distributions  to the partners were  $105,936,  of which $1,059 was
