ITEM 5:   OTHER EVENTS

     On November 23 and 25, 1994, Geodyne Resources, Inc., the general
partner  ("General  Partner")  of  the  Geodyne  Institutional/Pension
Energy  Income Limited Partnerships P-1,  P-2, P-3, P-4,  P-5, and P-6
(collectively,    the   "Partnerships"),    PaineWebber   Incorporated
("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  that certain  Indemnification Agreement
dated  November  24,  1992  by  and  between  PaineWebber  and  Samson
Investment Company  (the  "Indemnification Agreement").   The  amended
complaint in the federal  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 December 6,  1994 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  in  the
Partnerships ("Units")  (Marion Woolf  v. Geodyne Resources,  Inc., et
al., Case No. 94-059799, District Court of Harris County, Texas).  The
plaintiff's petition alleged  that the lawsuit was being  brought as a
class  action  on behalf  of  investors  who  purchased Units  in  the
Partnerships.   The lawsuit has been consolidated with another pending
lawsuit in  Harris County,  Texas (Sidney Neidick,  et al.  v. Geodyne
Resources, Inc., et  al, Case No. 94-052860, District  Court of Harris
County,  Texas).    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 has  agreed  to  indemnify  the General  Partner  and  the
Partnerships  and their affiliates with respect to all claims asserted
by the  plaintiff  in  the lawsuit  pursuant  to  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  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  consolidated  Neidick  case
referred  to above  (collectively, the "PaineWebber  Partnership Class

                                         -2-

Actions") along with  a settlement  with the  Securities and  Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") and  an agreement to settle with  various state
securities  regulators.  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
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.
