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 71% to $722,124 for the nine
months ended  September  30, 2000 as compared to $421,200 for the same period in
1999.  The increase  in revenues resulted  from higher average  prices received,

                                        7

offset by a decrease in  production.  For the nine months  ended  September  30,
2000,  17,798 barrels of oil, 7,883 barrels of natural gas liquids  ("NGLs") and
37,119 mcf of gas were sold, or 31,868 barrel of oil equivalents  ("BOEs").  For
the nine months ended  September 30, 1999,  18,851 barrels of oil, 8,062 barrels
of NGLs and 36,042 mcf of gas were sold, or 32,920 BOEs. Of the decrease,  3,615
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 2,563 BOEs.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  increased  $12.88,  or 83%, from
$15.61  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999 to $28.49 for the same
period in 2000. The average price  received per barrel of NGLs increased  $6.86,
or 77%, from $8.94 during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to $15.80 for
the same period in 2000. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 61%
from $1.52 during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to $2.44 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 $8,294 and $13,078 were recognized  during the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The gain recognized
during  2000  was due to  equipment  credits  received  on one  well.  The  gain
recognized  during the period in 1999 was  comprised of $14,551 due to equipment
credits  received on two wells,  offset by a $1,473  loss on a well  plugged and
abandoned during the current period.

Costs and Expenses:

Total  costs and  expenses  decreased  to  $314,760  for the nine  months  ended
September  30,  2000 as compared  to  $338,618  for the same  period in 1999,  a
decrease of $23,858,  or 7%. This  decrease was due to declines in depletion and
abandoned  property costs,  offset by increases in production  costs and general
and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production  costs were $263,814 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
$245,176 for the same period in 1999, resulting in an $18,638 increase, or 8%. A
20% increase in production  costs resulted from higher  production  taxes due to
higher oil and gas prices and additional well  maintenance  costs of incurred to
stimulate well production,  offset by a 12% 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,  71% from $12,636 for the nine months ended  September
30,  1999 to  $21,664  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 $29,282 for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 compared to
$66,193 for the same period in 1999,  representing  a decrease in  depletion  of
$36,911, or 56%.  This decrease was the result of an increase in proved reserves

                                        8

<PAGE>



due to higher  commodity prices and a decline in oil production of 1,053 barrels
when compared to the respective information for the same period in 1999.

Abandoned  property  costs of  $14,613  incurred  during the nine  months  ended
September  30,  1999 were  related to wells  plugged  and  abandoned  during the
current period.

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

Revenues:

The Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  increased 42% to $252,587 for the three
months ended  September  30, 2000 as compared to $178,142 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  September  30,
2000,  5,836  barrels of oil,  2,454  barrels of NGLs and 10,989 mcf of gas were
sold,  or 10,122  BOEs.  For the three months ended  September  30, 1999,  6,268
barrels of oil, 2,697 barrels of NGLs and 11,054 mcf of gas were sold, or 10,807
BOEs. Of the decrease,  1,899 BOEs are attributable to the Reversionary Interest
occurring. This is offset by a production increase of 1,214 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $9.28, or 46% from $20.30
for the three months ended  September  30, 1999 to $29.58 for the same period in
2000.  The average price received per barrel of NGLs  increased  $6.61,  or 58%,
from $11.37  during the three months ended  September 30, 1999 to $17.98 for the
same period in 2000.  The average  price  received per mcf of gas  increased 78%
from $1.83  during the three months  ended  September  30, 1999 to $3.26 for the
same period in 2000.

Loss on disposition of assets of $1,473 recognized during the three months ended
September 30, 1999 resulted from the  abandonment of one well during the current
period.

Costs and Expenses:

Total  costs and  expenses  increased  to  $89,716  for the three  months  ended
September  30,  2000 as  compared  to $89,209  for the same  period in 1999,  an
increase  of $507.  This  increase  was due to an  increase  in G&A,  offset  by
declines in depletion and production costs.

Production  costs were $71,685 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and
$72,543 for the same period in 1999,  resulting in an $858 decrease,  or 1%. The
decrease  was the  result  of a 21%  decline  in lease  operating  expenses  and
production taxes attributable to the Revisionary Interest occurring, offset by a
20% increase in production  taxes  associated with 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 $5,344 for the three
months ended  September 30, 1999 to $7,578 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 $10,453 for the three months ended  September 30, 2000 compared to
$11,322 for the same period in 1999,  representing  a decrease in  depletion  of
$869, or 8%. This decrease was attributable to an increase in proved reserves as
a result of higher  commodity  prices and a decrease  in oil  production  of 432
barrels 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  $282,847  during the nine
months ended  September 30, 2000 from the same period ended  September 30, 1999.
This  increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales  receipts of $316,464
and a $14,613 decline in abandoned  property costs paid,  offset by increases of
$37,148 in production costs paid and $11,082 in G&A expenses paid.

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