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  89% to $868,113 for the six
months  ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $458,623 for the same period in 1999.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, 21,676 barrels

                                        7

of oil,  11,585  barrels of natural gas liquids  ("NGLs")  and 47,808 mcf of gas
were sold,  or 41,229  barrel of oil  equivalents  ("BOEs").  For the six months
ended June 30, 1999,  23,002  barrels of oil,  11,929 barrels of NGLs and 51,130
mcf of gas were sold, or 43,453 BOEs.

The average price  received per barrel of oil increased  $14.29,  or 110%,  from
$13.01 for the six months  ended June 30,  1999 to $27.30 for the same period in
2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs  increased  $7.79,  or 107%,
from  $7.29  during the six  months  ended June 30,  1999 to $15.08 for the same
period in 2000.  The average  price  received per mcf of gas  increased 50% from
$1.42  during the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $2.13 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 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.

A gain on  disposition  of assets of  $3,753,  recognized  during the six months
ended June 30, 2000, was  attributable to credits  received from the disposal of
oil and gas equipment on one fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $445,483 for the six months ended June 30,
2000 as compared to $442,658 for the same period in 1999, an increase of $2,825,
or 1%.  This  increase  was due to  higher  production  costs  and  general  and
administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a decrease in depletion.

Production  costs  were  $344,924  for the six months  ended  June 30,  2000 and
$302,253 for the same period in 1999  resulting in a $42,671  increase,  or 14%.
This  increase was the result of higher  production  taxes due to higher oil and
gas prices 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, 89% from $13,759 for the six months ended June 30, 1999
to $26,043 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  $74,516  for the six months  ended  June 30,  2000  compared  to
$126,646  for the same  period in 1999,  a decrease  of  $52,130,  or 41%.  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 decline in oil
production  of 1,326  barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to
the same period in 1999.

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

Revenues:

The Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  increased 55% to $414,169 for the three
months  ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $267,074 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,  10,284
barrels of oil, 5,499 barrels of NGLs and 21,477 mcf of gas were sold, or 19,363
BOEs.  For the three months ended June 30, 1999,  11,616  barrels of oil,  6,585
barrels of NGLs and 25,440 mcf of gas were sold, or 22,441 BOEs.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  increased  $12.20,  or 83%, from
$14.66 during the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $26.86 for the same period
in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased  $6.22, or 71%,
from $8.76  during the three  months  ended June 30, 1999 to $14.98 for the same
period in 2000.  The average  price  received per mcf of gas  increased 68% from
$1.54  during the three  months ended June 30, 1999 to $2.59 for the same period
in 2000.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and  expenses  increased to $230,473 for the three months ended June
30, 2000 as compared  to  $215,431  for the same period in 1999,  an increase of
$15,042, or 7%. This increase was due to higher production costs and G&A, offset
by a decrease in depletion.

Production  costs were  $182,083  for the three  months  ended June 30, 2000 and
$158,350 for the same period in 1999  resulting in a $23,733  increase,  or 15%.
This  increase was the result of higher  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,  55%, from $8,012 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 to $12,425 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 $35,965  for the three  months  ended June 30,  2000  compared to
$49,069  for the same  period in 1999,  a  decrease  of  $13,104,  or 27%.  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 decline in oil
production of 1,332 barrels for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to
the same period in 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash  provided by operating  activities  increased  $356,594  during the six

                                        9


<PAGE>



increase was due to a $411,240 increase in oil and gas sales receipts, offset by
increases in operating costs paid of $41,100 and G&A expenses paid of $13,546.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2000

ended June 30, 2000 on one fully depleted well.
