Partnership as of March 31, 2000 include all adjustments and accruals consisting

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

Results of Operations

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues  increased 140% to $366,869 for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to $152,778 for the same period in 1999.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a decline in  production.  For the three  months  ended March 31,  2000,  11,876
barrels of oil,  1,997 barrels of natural gas liquids  ("NGLs") and 9,135 mcf of
gas were  sold,  or 15,396  barrel of oil  equivalents  ("BOEs").  For the three
months ended March 31, 1999,  11,203  barrels of oil,  2,828 barrels of NGLs and
12,420 mcf of gas were sold, or 16,101 BOEs.

The average price  received per barrel of oil increased  $16.19,  or 144%,  from
$11.28 for the three  months  ended March 31, 1999 to $27.47 for the same period
in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $7.46, or 167%,
from  $4.47 for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1999 to $11.93 for the same
period in 2000.  The average  price  received per mcf of gas  increased 66% from
$1.11  during the three months ended March 31, 1999 to $1.84 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
three months ended March 31, 2000.

The volatility of commodity prices has had, and continues to have, a significant
impact on the Partnership's revenues and operating cash flow and could result in
additional  decreases to the  carrying  value of the  Partnership's  oil and gas
properties.

Gain on disposition  of assets of $15,629 and $5,299 was  recognized  during the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The gain  recognized
during 2000 was comprised of $10,858 from equipment  credits on one well plugged
and abandoned in the current  period and $4,771 salvage income on a well plugged
and abandoned  during 1999. The gain recognized  during 1999 consisted of $4,004
from equipment credits on fully depleted wells and $1,295 from equipment credits
on a well plugged and abandoned in 1998.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses  increased to $201,099 for the three months ended March
31, 2000 as compared  to  $180,515  for the same period in 1999,  an increase of
$20,584,  or 11%.  This  increase  was the  result of higher  production  costs,
abandoned property costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset
by a decline in depletion.

Production  costs were  $159,161  for the three  months ended March 31, 2000 and
$134,472 for the same period in 1999,  resulting in a $24,689 increase,  or 18%.
This  increase was  primarily  attributable  to higher  production  taxes due to
increased oil and gas revenues and additional well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production.

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,  140% from $4,583 for the three months ended March 31,
1999 to $11,006 for the same period in 2000  primarily  due to increased oil and
gas revenues.

Depletion  was $18,149  for the three  months  ended March 31, 2000  compared to
$39,836  for the same  period in 1999,  a  decrease  of  $21,687,  or 54%.  This
decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in proved reserves during the
three months ended March 31, 2000 as a result of higher  commodity  prices 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 673 barrels for the period  ended March 31, 2000  compared to the
same period in 1999.

Abandonment  expenses of $12,783 and $1,624 were incurred on the  abandonment of
several  properties  during  the three  months  ended  March 31,  2000 and 1999,
respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating  activities  increased  $141,716 during the three
months  ended  March 31,  2000 from the same period in 1999.  The  increase  was
primarily attributable to an increase of $187,885 in oil and gas sales receipts,
offset by increases in operating  costs paid of $31,644,  in abandoned  property
costs paid of $11,159 and in G&A expenses paid of $3,366.

Net Cash Provided  by Investing Activities

Proceeds from disposition of assets of $18,129 and $5,299 were recognized during
the three  months  ended March 31,  2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The  proceeds
recognized  during  the  period  in 2000 were from  equipment  credits  on wells
plugged  and  abandoned  during  2000 and 1999.  During the period in 1999,  the
proceeds were primarily from equipment credits received on fully depleted wells.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2000,  cash  distributions  to the partners
were $134,767,  of which $1,348 was distributed to the managing  general partner
and $133,419 to the limited partners.  For the same period ended March 31, 1999,
cash  distributions to the partners were $18,364,  of which $183 was distributed
to the managing general partner and $18,181 to the limited partners.

Other Items

Year 2000

During 1998, the managing general partner established a "Year 2000" project that
assessed the Partnership's and the managing general partner's internal Year 2000
problem; took remedial actions necessary to minimize the Year 2000 risk exposure
to the managing  general  partner and third  parties;  and,  tested the managing
general partner's systems and processes once remedial actions were taken.

The  managing  general  partner  has  closely   monitored  its  information  and
non-information   technology  systems  since  the  beginning  of  2000  and  has
identified no significant Year 2000 failures or problems.
