Item 1.     Financial Statements.

      The financial statements of the Coastal 1987 Drilling Program, Ltd., a
Texas limited partnership, (the "Program"), are presented herein and are
unaudited, except for balances as of December 31, 1994, and therefore are
subject to year-end adjustments; however, all adjustments which are of a normal
recurring nature and, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
statement of the results of operations for the periods covered have been made.
Such results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the
year due to seasonal variations and market conditions affecting gas and oil
sales and corresponding unit prices.

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


                         Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The Partnership Payout balance decreased by $75,000 in the third quarter
of 1995 to $9,783,000 as of September 30, 1995, compared to the original balance
of $14,141,000. Management is of the opinion that Partnership Payout will not
occur.

      A cash distribution of $3.70 per limited partnership unit was made for the
third quarter of 1995, bringing the aggregate distributions since the Program
began operations to $222.15 per $1,000 unit. The distribution includes proceeds
attributable to the sale of two Program wells.


                              Results of Operations

      The Program's results of operations for the comparable three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 are as follows:

      Revenues from the sale of production in the third quarter of 1995
decreased $30,000 (16%) from the 1994 third quarter. Natural gas revenues were
down $24,000 (36%) as the weighted average price, net of severance taxes,
decreased to $1.33 in the 1995 third quarter from $1.64 per thousand cubic feet
in the 1994 third quarter and production volumes decreased to 27 million cubic
feet in the 1995 third quarter from 38 million cubic feet in the 1994 third
quarter. Crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids revenues decreased $6,000
(5%) reflecting a decrease in the weighted average price, net of severance
taxes, to $13.65 per barrel in the 1995 third quarter from $14.20 per barrel in
the 1994 third quarter, partially offset by an increase in production volumes to
7,827 barrels in the third quarter of 1995 from 7,791 barrels in the third
quarter of 1994.

      The decrease in natural gas volumes in the third quarter of 1995 is
primarily attributable to decreased production from the LaPerla Ranch Field in
south Texas due to market conditions in the area.

      In the third quarter of 1995, lease operating expense increased $13,000
(14%) primarily due to increased maintenance expenses. Depreciation and
amortization expense increased $78,000 (159%) in the same period primarily as a
result of a non-cash charge of $86,000 being recorded in the third quarter of
1995 in order that the net investment in gas and oil properties would not exceed
the estimated future net revenues from proved reserves, computed at current
prices, and discounted at 10% as required under the full-cost method of
accounting for gas and oil properties, partially offset by decreased production
volumes.

      Revenues from the sale of production in the first nine months of 1995
decreased $113,000 (19%) from the first nine months of 1994. Natural gas
revenues were down $63,000 (30%) as the production volumes decreased to 103
million cubic feet from 110 million cubic feet in the first nine months of 1994,
and the weighted average price, net of severance taxes, decreased to $1.28 from
$1.76 per thousand cubic feet in the first nine months of 1994. Crude oil,
condensate and natural gas liquids revenues decreased $50,000 (13%) reflecting a
decrease in production volumes to 21,836 barrels from 26,221 barrels in the
first nine months of 1994, partially offset by an increase in the weighted
average price, net of severance taxes, to $14.45 per barrel in the first nine
months of 1995 from $13.81 per barrel in the first nine months of 1994.

      The decrease in natural gas volumes in the first nine months of 1995 was
primarily attributable to decreased production from the LaPerla Ranch Field in
south Texas due to market conditions in the area. The reduction in crude oil,
condensate and natural gas liquids volumes in the first nine months of 1995 was
primarily the result of normal production declines.

      In the first nine months of 1995, lease operating expense decreased
$22,000 (6%) due primarily to decreased production taxes. Depreciation and
amortization expense increased $53,000 (34%) in the same period primarily as a
result of a non-cash charge of $86,000 being recorded in the third quarter of
1995 in order that the net investment in gas and oil properties would not exceed
the estimated future net revenues from proved reserves, computed at current
prices, and discounted at 10% as required under the full-cost method of
accounting for gas and oil properties, partially offset by decreased production
volumes.
