ITEM 5:   OTHER EVENTS

     Sale of Properties.
     -------------------

     The  General  Partner and  its  affiliates are  currently  in the
process of  evaluating certain  oil and  gas  properties owned  and/or
operated by the General  Partner and the Geodyne Institutional/Pension
Energy Income P-1  Limited Partnership, Geodyne  Institutional/Pension
Energy Income  P-2 Limited Partnership,  Geodyne Institutional/Pension
Energy  Income Limited Partnership  P-3, Geodyne Institutional/Pension
Energy Income Limited  Partnership P-4, Geodyne  Institutional/Pension
Energy    Income     Limited    Partnership    P-5,     and    Geodyne
Institutional/Pension   Energy   Income   Limited    Partnership   P-6
(collectively, the  "Partnerships").  As a result  of such evaluation,
it is expected that certain of  these properties will be placed in bid
packages and offered  for sale during the  first half of 1997.   It is
likely that  the Partnerships  will have  an interest in  some of  the
properties being sold.   It is currently estimated  that the value  of
such sales,  as a  percentage of  total proved  reserves of  any given
Partnership, will range from 1% to 20%.

     The  decision  to  accept any  offer  for  the  purchase of  such
properties  will be  made  by the  General  Partner after  giving  due
consideration to the offer price and the General Partner's estimate of
both the  properties' remaining  proved reserves and  future operating
costs.  Net proceeds from the sale of any  such Partnership properties
will  be distributed to  the Partnership and  will be included  in the
calculation of  the Partnership's  cash distributions for  the quarter
immediately following receipt by the Partnership of the proceeds.

     Following completion  of any sales the  Partnerships' quantity of
proved  reserves  will be  reduced.   It  is  also  possible that  the
Partnerships' repurchase  values and  future cash  distributions could
decline as a result  of any reduced reserve base.   On the other hand,
the General Partner believes  that there will be  beneficial operating
efficiencies related to the Partnerships' remaining properties.   This
is primarily due to the  fact that the properties to be  sold are more
likely  to bear a  higher ratio of  operating expenses as  compared to
reserves than the properties  remaining in the Partnerships.   The net
effect of such property sales  is difficult to predict as of  the date
of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

     Year End Values.  
     ---------------

     The General Partner is required to provide year-end values of the
Partnerships' underlying  properties to its limited  partners pursuant
to  the Partnerships' partnership agreements.   Attached is  a form of

January 27, 1997              Re:  1996 Year-End Estimated Valuation

Dear Geodyne Energy Income Program Unit Holder:

As  in past  years,  Geodyne  is  providing  you  with  the  following
information relating  to 1996  year-end estimated valuations  for your
Geodyne  Energy Income  Programs.   Enclosed  with  this letter  is  a
schedule showing your Geodyne partnership investments, your investment
amount, the  current estimated valuation, 1996  cash distributions and
cumulative cash distributions to date.

Requirements For A Year-End Valuation

As  you  know, the  Geodyne  Energy Income  Programs  are partnerships
designed for long-term holding.  Since the units are not traded on any
organized  stock exchange, only a  limited number of  interests in the
programs  change hands  during the  year.   The values  for securities
other than partnerships are generally obtained by looking at secondary
market  trading  prices as  quoted on  the  stock exchanges.   Limited
partnerships are generally illiquid and were never intended to, and do
not, trade  regularly or  in  any established  market.   As a  result,
prices obtained in isolated secondary market transactions may not be a
reliable indicator of the value of this investment.

While noting this  valuation difficulty, under the  regulations of the
Internal Revenue  Service (the "IRS Regulations"),  IRA custodians are
required to provide year-end  values for all securities held  in their
clients' IRAs.  Given the  obligations under the  IRS Regulations  and
certain   provisions  of  the  Partnership  prospectuses,  Geodyne  is
providing to you and requesting brokerage firms and other custodians a
December 31, 1996, estimated value for each partnership. The estimates
are  based upon  the methodology explained  below.   While independent
engineers have reviewed the properties associated with at least 80% of
the  estimated  value  of  the   proved  producing  reserves  in  each
partnership, the estimated  valuations were  not prepared  by a  third
party appraiser.

Please note that your brokerage firm or other custodian may be relying
on the estimates herein or estimates determined by some other party to
meet any IRS reporting requirements,  which estimates may differ  from
the estimates reported herein.  You should discuss with your custodian
(not Geodyne) any questions  you have about estimates communicated  by
that custodian.

Calculating the Estimated Valuation

The main component of the estimated valuation  is the present value of
the  future  cash flow  estimated to  be  received from  producing the
remaining  proved oil and natural  gas reserves.   Present value means
discounting  future  cash flow  to today  to  recognize that  a dollar
received in the future is worth less than a dollar received today.  In
addition, the estimated valuation  includes any material balance sheet
items (cash on hand and gas balancing liabilities). The valuation does
not   include  a   deduction  for   future  partnership   general  and
administrative expenses.

As previously reported to investors in Partnerships II-A through II-E,
those  partnerships were  successful in  winning an  arbitration award
against  Texaco, Inc.  relative to  a contract  dispute.   However, as
Texaco has appealed the  award, collection is uncertain and  therefore
the  amount  of the  award is  not included  in  the values  for those
respective programs.


<PAGE>
<PAGE>
1996 YEAR-END ESTIMATED VALUATIONS       JANUARY 27, 1997       PAGE 2


For determining  the  present  value  of  future  cash  flow,  pricing
guidelines and time value  discount rates set forth by  the Securities
and Exchange  Commission for financial reporting  purposes ("SECPV10")
were used.  Under  these guidelines, year-end prices received  for oil
and gas  are used for the life of the production.  Therefore, there is
no  escalation for  prices  or production  costs,  except for  assured
contractual gas  pricing escalations (which are  insignificant for the
Geodyne partnerships).  The December 31, 1996, calculations are  based
on estimated average prices of $23.75  per barrel of oil and $3.57 per
thousand cubic feet of  gas. (This compares to  $18.50 per barrel  and
$2.00  per thousand  cubic  feet of  gas used  for  the 1995  Year-End
Estimates.)   Future net  cash flow  is then  discounted to  a present
value  at  a 10%  annual  rate.   Since  the  Securities and  Exchange
Commission  guidelines  provide  for  the  reporting  of  only  proved
reserves, Geodyne has changed its reporting of 1996 year-end values to
exclude  the  previously  included  adjusted  value  of  probable  and
possible reserves. 

These estimates  DO NOT reflect  cash distributions received  to date.
Estimated  valuations   are  not   indicative  of  what   future  cash
distributions  to  unit  holders  will  be.    The  estimates  do  not
necessarily reflect what could be received should a unit holder decide
to sell his or her units on the secondary market or if the partnership
was  liquidated.   Since  the  estimates  are based  upon  assumptions
concerning  future oil and  gas prices and  remaining reserve volumes,
they are  necessarily inherently imprecise.  Unit  holders should also
note  that the estimated valuations  are not adjusted  during the year
for production, pricing changes, cash distributions, etc.

Reasons For Year to Year Changes In Estimates

In all of the Geodyne Programs, 1996 year-end estimated valuations are
higher than the 1995 year-end estimates.  This is primarily due to the
significantly  higher oil and natural gas prices in effect on December
31, 1996 compared to December 31, 1995.  Actual future prices received
by the Programs will likely be  different from (and may be lower than)
the prices in effect on  December 31, 1996.  Primarily due  to heating
season demand, year-end prices in many years have tended to be higher,
and, in some cases significantly higher, than the yearly average price
actually received by the Programs for at least the  year following the
year-end  valuation  date.   In particular,  it  should be  noted that
December  31, 1996,  prices are  much higher  than  those in  the last
several  years  and  significantly  higher  than  the  average  prices
received in each of  the last several  years.  It  is not possible  to
predict whether this pricing level is indicative of a new trend toward
higher energy prices or a short-term deviation from the recent history
of low to moderate prices.

Although the  vast majority  of partnership reserves  are proved,  and
therefore  less likely  to fluctuate  significantly, all  reserves and
evaluations  are   estimates  subject  to   many  judgmental  factors.
Additional factors  that can  result in year  to year  changes in  the
estimates  of the remaining oil and natural gas reserve quantities and
the value of such reserves based on a cash flow analysis include: 

   *    Estimates  by engineers can  vary from  year to  year, based on
        the  inherent  impreciseness  of  estimating  reserves  in  the
        ground.
   *    Improved  oil  and   gas  prices  can  increase  estimates   of
        economically  recoverable  reserves  while  lower  prices   can
        decrease such  estimates.  Price  changes also directly  impact
        estimates of  future  cash  flow.  Crude oil  and  natural  gas
        prices were higher at year-end 1996  compared to year-end 1995,
        which  has increased  estimates  of  future cash  flow  in  the
        partnerships.
   *    A longer  performance history of  wells provides more  accurate
        data for calculating reserve quantities.

   *    Mechanical   difficulties  at   the  well   site  can  prohibit
        production.
   *    Newly drilled wells  near partnership wells can drain  reserves
        that would otherwise be produced by partnership wells.
   *    Successful development  drilling and  enhancement projects  can
        add to existing reserves.
