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

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2000 compared with six months ended
  June 30, 1999

Revenues:

The  Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  increased  93% to $469,537 for the six
months  ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $243,058 for the same period in 1999.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a decline in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2000,  11,962 barrels

                                        7

of oil, 5,429 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 26,130 mcf of gas were
sold, or 21,746  barrel of oil  equivalents  ("BOEs").  For the six months ended
June 30, 1999,  12,583  barrels of oil,  5,365 barrels of NGLs and 24,988 mcf of
gas were sold, or 22,113 BOEs. Of the decrease,  1,717 BOEs are  attributable to
the fact that on April 1, 2000 the  Partnership's  revenue and operating expense
allocation  reverted  to  80.808081%  from  95.959595%  pursuant  to the Program
agreement  governing the Partnership which provides for a reversionary  interest
of 80.808081%  once cumulative  distributions  equal initial  partners'  capital
("Reversionary  Interest").  This is offset by a  production  increase  of 1,350
BOEs.

The average price  received per barrel of oil increased  $14.69,  or 111%,  from
$13.27 for the six months  ended June 30,  1999 to $27.96 for the same period in
2000.  The average price received per barrel of NGLs  increased  $7.10,  or 92%,
from  $7.72  during the six  months  ended June 30,  1999 to $14.82 for the same
period in 2000. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 50% to $2.09
for the six months ended June 30, 2000  compared to $1.39 for the same period in
1999. 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 six
months ended June 30, 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 $8,294 and $14,551 was  recognized  during the
six  months  ended June 30,  2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The gain  recognized
during both  periods was due to  equipment  credits  received on fully  depleted
wells.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $225,044 for the six months ended June 30,
2000 as compared to $249,409 for the same period in 1999, a decrease of $24,365,
or 10%. This decrease was due to reductions in depletion and abandoned  property
costs,  offset by increases in production  costs and general and  administrative
expenses ("G&A").

Production  costs  were  $192,129  for the six months  ended  June 30,  2000 and
$172,633 for the same period in 1999, resulting in a $19,496 increase, or 11%. A
20% increase in production  costs resulted from higher  production  taxes due to
higher oil and gas prices and  additional  well  maintenance  costs  incurred to
stimulate well  production,  offset by a 9% decline in lease operating costs and
production taxes attributable to the Reversionary Interest occurring.

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, 93% from $7,292 for the six months ended June 30, 1999,
to $14,086 for the same period in 2000  primarily due to a higher  allocation of
the managing general partners' G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas
revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Depletion was $18,829 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $54,871
for the same period in 1999, a decrease of $36,042,  or 66%.  This  decrease was
the result of an increase in proved  reserves  during the period  ended June 30,
2000 due to higher  commodity  prices and a decrease  in oil  production  of 621
barrels for the six months  ended June 30,  2000  compared to the same period in
1999.

Abandoned  property costs of $14,613  incurred  during the six months ended June
30, 1999 were related to wells plugged and abandoned during 1998.

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

Revenues:

The Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  increased 42% to $205,745 for the three
months  ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $144,544 for the same period in 1999.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a decrease  in  production.  For the three  months  ended June 30,  2000,  4,955
barrels of oil,  2,418 barrels of NGLs and 11,575 mcf of gas were sold, or 9,302
BOEs.  For the three  months ended June 30, 1999,  6,442  barrels of oil,  3,296
barrels  of NGLs and  13,609  mcf of gas  were  sold,  or  12,006  BOEs.  Of the
decrease, 1,717 BOEs are attributable to the Reversionary Interest occurring.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  increased  $14.05,  or 97%, from
$14.49 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $28.54 for the same period in
2000.  The average price received per barrel of NGLs  increased  $5.62,  or 62%,
from $9.06  during the three  months  ended June 30, 1999 to $14.68 for the same
period in 2000.  The average  price  received per mcf of gas  increased 59% from
$1.57 during the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $2.49 in 2000.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and  expenses  decreased  to $96,968 for the three months ended June
30,  2000 as compared  to  $108,884  for the same period in 1999,  a decrease of
$11,916,  or 11%.  This  decrease was due to declines in  depletion,  production
costs and abandoned property costs, offset by an increase in G&A.

Production  costs were  $82,693  for the three  months  ended June 30,  2000 and
$86,306 for the same period in 1999, resulting in a $3,613 decrease,  or 4%. The
decrease  was the  result of an 18%  decline  in lease  operating  expenses  and
production taxes attributable to the Reversionary Interest occurring,  offset by
a 14%  increase  in  production  taxes  due to  higher  oil and gas  prices  and
additional well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production.

During this period, G&A increased,  in aggregate,  42% from $4,337 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 to $6,172 for the same period in 2000  primarily  due
to a higher  allocation of the managing  general  partners' G&A being  allocated
(limited to 3% of oil and gas  revenues)  as a result of  increased  oil and gas
revenues.

Depletion  was  $8,103 for the three  months  ended June 30,  2000  compared  to
$15,267 for the same period in 1999, a decrease of $7,164, or 47%. This decrease
was  attributable to an increase in proved reserves during the period ended June
30, 2000 as a result of higher commodity prices and a decrease in oil production
of 1,487  barrels for the three months ended June 30, 2000  compared to the same
period in 1999.

Abandoned  property costs of $2,974  incurred during the three months ended June
30, 1999 were related to wells plugged and abandoned during 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash  provided by operating  activities  increased  $230,653  during the six
months ended June 30, 2000 from the same period in 1999.  This  increase was the
result of an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $271,437 and a decline in
abandoned property costs paid of $14,613, offset by increases in operating costs
paid of $47,334 and G&A expenses paid of $8,063.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

The  Partnership's  principal  investing  activities during the six months ended
June 30, 1999 were related to expenditures for upgrades of oil and gas equipment
on active properties.

Proceeds  from asset  dispositions  of $13,944 and $16,179 were received for the
six months ending June 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The proceeds  received
during both periods were  primarily  from  equipment  credits on fully  depleted
wells.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2000, cash  distributions to the partners were
$265,842,  of which $2,658 was  distributed to the managing  general partner and
