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 68% to $2,089,710 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $1,243,362 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,  48,110 barrels of oil, 27,559 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and
121,076 mcf of gas were sold, or 95,848 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs").  For
the nine months ended September 30, 1999,  49,854 barrels of oil, 30,436 barrels
of NGLs and 141,383 mcf of gas were sold, or 103,854 BOEs.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  increased  $13.27,  or 88%, from
$15.11  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999 to $28.38 for the same
period in 2000. The average price  received per barrel of NGLs increased  $6.73,
or 78%, from $8.61 during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to $15.34 for
the same period in 2000. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 55%
from $1.61 during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to $2.49 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 $6,407  and  $8,848  were due to  equipment
credits received on one well during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
1999, respectively,

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and  expenses  increased  to  $1,011,409  for the nine months  ended
September  30,  2000 as compared  to  $951,000  for the same period in 1999,  an
increase of $60,409,  or 6%. This  increase was due to  increases in  production
costs and general and  administrative  expenses ("G&A"),  offset by a decline in
depletion.

Production  costs were $804,325 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
$697,588 for the same period in 1999, resulting in a $106,737 increase,  or 15%.
The increase was primarily due to higher production taxes of $66,427  associated
with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production of $31,664.

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,  68%, from $37,301 for the nine months ended September
30,  1999 to  $62,691  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 $144,393 for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 compared to
$216,111  for the same period in 1999,  representing  a decrease of $71,718,  or
33%. This  decrease was  attributable  to an increase in proved  reserves due to
higher  commodity  prices and a decline in oil  production of 1,744 barrels when
compared to the respective information for 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 28% to $732,635 for the three
months ended  September  30, 2000 as compared to $571,976 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,  15,537  barrels of oil,  8,410 barrels of NGLs and 36,098 mcf of gas were
sold,  or 29,963 BOEs.  For the three months ended  September  30, 1999,  19,121
barrels of oil,  11,890  barrels  of NGLs and  51,295  mcf of gas were sold,  or
39,560 BOEs.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  increased  $12.24,  or 67%, from
$18.19 for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1999 to $30.43 for the same
period in 2000. The average price  received per barrel of NGLs increased  $6.24,
or 58%, from $10.72  during the three months ended  September 30, 1999 to $16.96
for the same period in 2000. The average price received per mcf of gas increased
72% from $1.89 during the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $3.25 for the
same period in 2000.

Gains on disposition of assets of $546 and $8,848 were due to equipment  credits
received on one well during the three months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively,

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and  expenses  increased  to  $347,566  for the three  months  ended
September  30,  2000 as compared  to  $307,348  for the same period in 1999,  an
increase of $40,218,  or 13%.  This  increase was due to increases in production
costs, G&A and depletion.

Production costs were $277,007 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and
$242,584 for the same period in 1999,  resulting in a $34,423 increase,  or 14%.
The increase was primarily due to higher production taxes of $19,929  associated
with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production of $3,607.

During this period, G&A increased, in aggregate,  30% from $17,160 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999 to $22,375 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 $48,184 for the three months ended  September 30, 2000 compared to
$47,604 for the same period in 1999, representing an increase of $580, or 1%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

                                        9

<PAGE>



This increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales  receipts of $979,228,
offset by increases in  production  costs paid of $100,963 and G&A expenses paid
of $32,256.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

upgrades on various oil and gas properties.
