ITEM 5:   OTHER EVENTS

     On October 26, 1994, Geodyne Resources, Inc., the general partner
("General Partner") of the  Geodyne Energy Income Limited Partnerships
II-A,  II-B, II-C, II-D, II-E, II-F, II-G, and II-H (collectively, the
"Partnerships"), and the Partnerships  among other parties, were named
as defendants in a lawsuit  alleging causes of action based  on fraud,
negligent  misrepresentation,  breach  of fiduciary  duty,  breach  of
implied  covenant, and breach of contract in connection with the offer
and sale of  units of  limited partnership interest  ("Units") in  the
Partnerships (Sidney  Neidick et  al. v. Geodyne  Resources, Inc.,  et
al., Case No. 94-052860, District Court of Harris County, Texas).  The
plaintiffs' petition alleged that  the lawsuit was being brought  as a
class  action  on  behalf of  investors  who  purchased  Units in  the
Partnerships.     On  June  7,  1995,  the  General  Partner  and  the
Partnerships  were dismissed  without prejudice  as defendants  in the
matter.  In addition,  on June 7, 1995, the matter  was certified as a
class action.  A class action notice was mailed on June 7, 1995 to all
limited partners in  the Partnerships  who are members  of the  class.
PaineWebber Incorporated  ("PaineWebber") has agreed to  indemnify the
General Partner and the Partnerships and their affiliates with respect
to all claims  asserted by the  plaintiffs in the lawsuit  pursuant to
that certain Indemnification Agreement dated November 24,  1992 by and
between    PaineWebber    and   Samson    Investment    Company   (the
"Indemnification Agreement") in the  event the General Partner or  the
Partnerships are rejoined in the matter at a later time.  As a  result
of both the dismissal  and the Indemnification Agreement,  the General
Partner does not believe  that either the Partnerships or  the General
Partner will  be required  to  pay any  damages  or expenses  in  this
matter.

     On  November 23 and  25, 1994, the  General Partner, PaineWebber,
and  certain other  parties were  named as  defendants in  two related
lawsuits alleging misrepresentations made to induce investments in the
Partnerships and asserting  causes of action for common  law fraud and
deceit and unjust enrichment (Romine v. PaineWebber, Inc. et al., Case
No. 94-CIV-8558,  U.S. District Court,  Southern District of  New York
and Romine  v. PaineWebber, Inc.  et al., Case No.  94-132844, Supreme
Court of the  State of  New York, County  of New York).   The  Federal
court case was later consolidated with other similar actions (to which
the General Partner is not a party) under the title In Re: PaineWebber
Limited Partnerships' Litigation (the  "Federal Class Action") and was
certified as  a class action on  May 30, 1995.  A  class action notice
was mailed on  June 7, 1995 to all members of  the class.  The Federal
Class Action also alleges violations of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1962(c) and the
Securities Exchange Act of  1934.  Compensatory and punitive  damages,
interest, and costs have been  requested in both matters.  PaineWebber
has agreed to indemnify the General Partner with respect to all claims
asserted  by   the  plaintiff  in   the  lawsuits   pursuant  to   the
Indemnification Agreement.  The amended complaint in the Federal Class
Action no  longer  asserts  any claim  directly  against  the  General
Partner.   As a result  of the Indemnification Agreement,  the General
Partner does not believe that  it will be required to pay  any damages
or expenses in this matter.

     On  January   18,  1996,  PaineWebber  issued   a  press  release
indicating  that it  had reached  an agreement  to settle  the pending
Federal Class Action,  along with the  Neidick case referred  to above
(collectively, the "PaineWebber Partnership Class Actions") along with
a settlement with the  Securities and Exchange Commission  (the "SEC")
and  an agreement to settle with  various state securities regulators.

                                         -2-

On that date, PaineWebber  paid $125 million into an  interest bearing
account  as part of a  memorandum of understanding  in connection with
the  proposed settlement (the "Settlement Fund").  The Settlement Fund
applies to claims related  to both the Partnerships and  certain other
investment  programs sold  by PaineWebber.   In  addition, PaineWebber
agreed to a  SEC administrative  order creating a  capped $40  million
fund (the "SEC  Claims Fund"), which is to  be distributed to eligible
Unit   Holders   by   an   independent   administrator   (the  "Claims
Administrator"); a civil penalty of $5 million leveled by the SEC; and
payments  aggregating $5  million to state  securities administrators.
Such settlement is not an obligation of either the Partnerships or the
General  Partner  and, accordingly,  would  not  affect the  financial
statements  of the Partnerships.   As a result  of the Indemnification
Agreement,  the General  Partner  does not  believe  that it  will  be
required to pay any damages or expenses in this matter.

     In connection with the  PaineWebber Partnership Class Actions, on
July  17, 1996 the federal court entered a preliminary order regarding
the settlement proceedings referred to above.  Pursuant to that order,
plaintiffs' counsel have undertaken to mail to class members the Class
Settlement Notice (the "Notice")  and Proof of Claim.   Eligible class
members  are  generally  those   who  purchased  their  Units  through
PaineWebber  on  or before  December  31, 1992  and  who have  not (i)
previously  opted   out  of   the  Class,  (ii)   previously  released
PaineWebber,  or  (iii)  finally  adjudicated   their  claims  against
PaineWebber.  

     A  complete  description  of  the proposed  settlement  terms  is
included  in  the Notice.    As  discussed  in the  Notice  a  limited
partner's participation in this settlement will not affect the limited
partner's  ownership of  the Units  and does  not require  the limited
partner  to sell  or  transfer  the  Units.    The  limited  partner's
participation in the proposed settlement does NOT  require the limited
partners to continue to hold the Units.

     Plaintiffs' counsel  will be responsible  for allocating payments
from the $125 million Settlement Fund previously funded by PaineWebber
among  eligible  limited partners  and  investors  in other  unrelated
PaineWebber  partnerships  in accordance  with  the  settlement.   The
amount and date  of any payment will vary  depending upon many factors
set forth in the Notice.   It is currently expected that payments from
the Settlement Fund will be made in early 1997.

     In addition,  eligible limited  partners in all  Partnerships who
held their Units on June 3, 1996 may be entitled to certain additional
payments from an escrow  fund to which PaineWebber will  make payments
through May  30, 2001  if spot  market oil and  natural gas  prices as
reported  by  the New  York  Mercantile  Exchange  fall below  certain
thresholds  set  forth in  the  Notice  ("Pricing  Guarantee").    The
threshold  prices used in the Pricing  Guarantee are $18 per barrel of
oil and $1.80 per Mcf of gas.  Under the Notice, PaineWebber payments,
if any, made  pursuant to the  Pricing Guarantee will  be paid to  the
limited partners of  record on  June 3, 1996  irrespective of  whether
they subsequently sell/dispose of  their Units to third parties.   The
Pricing  Guarantee does NOT  attach to  the Units  as an  attribute of
ownership in  the Partnerships and is not  an obligation of either the
General Partner or the Partnerships.

     A  look back provision is  also included in  the settlement which
may  provide additional  funds  as of  January  1, 2001  for  eligible
limited partners.  Class members who sold their Units prior to June 3,
1996 will not be eligible for  payments, if any, due under the Pricing
Guarantee or the look back provision.

     Eligible  limited  partners  who   wish  to  participate  in  the
settlement must timely execute and return  a proof of claim by January
17,  1997,  which  includes  a  Release,  Covenant  Not  to  Sue,  and
Acknowledgement, all as more further described in the Notice.
