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 70% to $1,340,625 for the nine
months ended  September  30, 2000 as compared to $787,591 for the same period in
1999.  The increase in revenues  resulted from  higher average  prices received,

offset by a decline in production. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
31,795 barrels of oil, 16,800 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 70,245
mcf of gas were sold, or 60,303 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the nine
months ended  September 30, 1999,  33,802 barrels of oil, 18,915 barrels of NGLs
and 77,408 mcf of gas were sold, or 65,618 BOEs.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  increased  $13.34,  or 89%, from
$14.92  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999 to $28.26 for the same
period in 2000. The average price  received per barrel of NGLs increased  $7.33,
or 86%, from $8.55 during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to $15.88 for
the same period in 2000. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 59%
from $1.57 during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to $2.50 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.

A gain on  disposition  of assets of $4,102,  recognized  during the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, was attributable to credits received from the disposal
of oil and gas equipment on one well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total  costs and  expenses  increased  to  $666,049  for the nine  months  ended
September  30,  2000 as compared  to  $654,168  for the same period in 1999,  an
increase of $11,881,  or 2%. 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 $514,171 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
$464,601 for the same period in 1999  resulting in a $49,570  increase,  or 11%.
The increase was primarily due to higher production taxes of $46,224  associated
with higher oil and gas prices.

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,  70% from $23,628 for the nine months ended  September
30, 1999 to $40,219 for the same  period in 2000 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 $111,659 for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 compared to
$165,939  for the same period in 1999,  representing  a decrease of $54,280,  or
33%. This decrease was primarily  attributable to an increase in proved reserves
as a result of higher  commodity prices and a decline in oil production of 2,007
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 44% to $472,512 for the three
months ended  September  30, 2000 as compared to $328,968 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  September  30,
2000,  10,119  barrels of oil,  5,215 barrels of NGLs and 22,437 mcf of gas were
sold,  or 19,074 BOEs.  For the three months ended  September  30, 1999,  10,800
barrels of oil, 6,986 barrels of NGLs and 26,278 mcf of gas were sold, or 22,166
BOEs.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  increased  $11.32,  or 60%, from
$19.00 for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1999 to $30.32 for the same
period in 2000. The average price  received per barrel of NGLs increased  $6.95,
or 65%, from $10.71  during the three months ended  September 30, 1999 to $17.66
for the same period in 2000. The average price received per mcf of gas increased
76% from $1.86 during the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $3.28 for the
same period in 2000.

A gain on  disposition  of assets of $349,  recognized  during the three  months
ended September 30, 2000, was attributable to credits received from the disposal
of oil and gas equipment on one well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and  expenses  increased  to  $220,566  for the three  months  ended
September  30,  2000 as compared  to  $211,510  for the same period in 1999,  an
increase of $9,056,  or 4%. This  increase was due to  increases  in  production
costs and G&A, offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $169,247 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and
$162,348 for the same period in 1999 resulting in a $6,899 increase,  or 4%. The
increase was primarily due to higher production taxes of $17,373 associated with
higher oil and gas prices, offset by lower well maintenance costs of $15,683.

During this period, G&A increased,  in aggregate,  44% from $9,869 for the three
months ended  September 30, 1999 to $14,176 for the same period in 2000 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 $37,143 for the three months ended  September 30, 2000 compared to
$39,293 for the same period in 1999,  representing a decrease of $2,150,  or 5%.
This decrease was  attributable to an increase in proved reserves as a result of
higher  commodity  prices and a decline in oil  production  of 681 barrels  when
compared to the respective information for the same period in 1999.
