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

General

Southwest Oil & Gas Income Fund X-B, L.P. was organized as a Delaware limited
partnership on November 27, 1990. The offering of such limited partnership
interests began on December 1, 1990 as part of a shelf offering registered
under the name Southwest Oil & Gas 1990-91 Income Program.  Minimum capital
requirements for the Partnership were met on March 1, 1991, with the offering
of limited partnership interests concluding on September 30, 1991, with total
limited partner contributions of $5,444,500.

The Partnership was formed to acquire interests in producing oil and gas
properties, to produce and market crude oil and natural gas produced from
such properties, and to distribute the net proceeds from operations to the
limited and general partners.  Net revenues from producing oil and gas
properties will not be reinvested in other revenue producing assets except to
the extent that production facilities and wells are improved or reworked or
where methods are employed to improve or enable more efficient recovery of
oil and gas reserves.

Increases or decreases in Partnership revenues and, therefore, distributions
to partners will depend primarily on changes in the prices received for
production, changes in volumes of production sold, lease operating expenses,
enhanced recovery projects, offset drilling activities pursuant to farmout
arrangements, sales of properties, and the depletion of wells.  Since wells
deplete over time, production can generally be expected to decline from year
to year.

Well operating costs and general and administrative costs usually decrease
with production declines; however, these costs may not decrease
proportionately.  Net income available for distribution to the partners is
therefore expected to fluctuate in later years based on these factors.

for the quarters ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase
of 9%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the quarters ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    increased during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the
    quarter ended September 30, 1995 by 30%, or $4.70 per barrel, resulting
    in an increase of approximately $87,400 in revenues.  Oil sales
    represented 83% of total oil and gas sales during the quarters ended
    September 30, 1996 and 1995.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased
    during the same period by 37%, or $.56 per mcf, resulting in an increase
    of approximately $23,000 in revenues.  

    The total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received from
    oil and gas production is approximately $110,400.  The market price for
    oil and gas has been extremely volatile over the past decade, and
    management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the
    foreseeable future.

2.  Oil production decreased approximately 2,900 barrels or 16% during the
    quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended
    September 30, 1995, resulting in a decrease of approximately $59,200 in
    revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 8,500 mcf or 21% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $17,500 in revenues.

    The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $76,700.  The decrease is primarily attributable to
    property sales.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $275,957 from $282,789 for the quarters
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, a decrease of 2%.  The
decrease is the result of lower lease operating costs, general and
administrative expense and depletion expense.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were less than 1% lower, or
    approximately $500 less during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as
    compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1995.

2.  General and administrative costs consist of independent accounting and
    engineering fees, computer services, postage, and Managing General
    Partner personnel costs.  General and administrative costs decreased less
    than 1% or approximately $100 during the quarter ended September 30, 1996
    as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1995.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $50,000 for the quarter ended September
    30, 1996 from $54,000 for the same period in 1995.  This represents a
    decrease of 7%.  Depletion is calculated using the gross revenue method
    of amortization based on a percentage of current period gross revenues to
    total future gross oil and gas revenues, as estimated by the
    Partnership's independent petroleum consultants.  Two factors that
    attributed to the decline in depletion expense between the comparative
    periods were the increase in the price of oil and gas used to determine
    the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1996 as compared to 1995 and
    the increase in property sales.

$1,126,330 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, a decrease of less than 1%.  The principal factors affecting
the comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 are as
follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    increased during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
    the nine months ended September 30, 1995 by 18%, or $3.00 per barrel,
    resulting in an increase of approximately $172,500 in revenues.  Oil
    sales represented 82% of total oil and gas sales during the nine months
    ended September 30, 1996 as compared to 84% during the nine months ended
    September 30, 1995.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased

    of approximately $72,200 in revenues.  

    The total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received from
    oil and gas production is approximately $244,700.  The market price for
    oil and gas has been extremely volatile over the past decade, and
    management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the

2.  Oil production decreased approximately 10,100 barrels or 18% during the
    nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended
    September 30, 1995, resulting in a decrease of approximately $196,500 in
    revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 23,900 mcf or 20% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $50,000 in revenues.

    The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $246,500.  The decrease is primarily attributable to
    property sales.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $846,467 from $877,983 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, a decrease of 4%. 
The decrease is the result of lower general and administrative expense and
depletion expense, offset by an increase in lease operating costs.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 1% higher, or
    approximately $6,200 more during the nine months ended September 30, 1996
    as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

2.  General and administrative costs consist of independent accounting and
    engineering fees, computer services, postage, and Managing General
    Partner personnel costs.  General and administrative costs decreased 4%
    or approximately $2,400 during the nine months ended September 30, 1996
    as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $143,000 for the nine months ended
    September 30, 1996 from $173,000 for the same period in 1995.  This
    represents a decrease of 17%.  Depletion is calculated using the gross
    revenue method of amortization based on a percentage of current period
    gross revenues to total future gross oil and gas revenues, as estimated
    by the Partnership's independent petroleum consultants.  Two factors that
    attributed to the decline in depletion expense between the comparative
    periods were the increase in the price of oil and gas used to determine
    the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1996 as compared to 1995 and
    the increase in property sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The primary source of cash is from operations, the receipt of income from
interests in oil and gas properties.  The Partnership knows of no material
change, nor does it anticipate any such change.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $417,700 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to approximately
$468,100 in the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The primary source of
the 1996 cash flow from operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities were approximately
$109,600 in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
approximately $(4,700) in the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The
principle source of the 1996 cash flow from investing activities was the sale
of oil and gas properties, offset by the additions to oil and gas properties.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $542,600 in the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to approximately $439,000 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The only use in financing
activities was the distributions to partners.

Total distributions during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were
$542,307 of which $488,607 was distributed to the limited partners and
$53,700 to the general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited
partners during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $44.87.  Total
distributions during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 were $439,000
of which $395,100 was distributed to the limited partners and $43,900 to the
general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 was $36.28.  

The sources for the 1996 distributions of $542,307 were oil and gas
operations of approximately $417,700 and the sale of oil and gas properties
of approximately $124,500, offset by additions to oil and gas properties of
approximately $14,800, with the balance from available cash on hand at the
beginning of the period.  The sources for the 1995 distributions of $439,000
were oil and gas operations of approximately $468,100 and the sale of oil and
gas properties of approximately $6,700, offset by additions to oil and gas
properties of approximately $11,400, resulting in excess cash for
contingencies and subsequent distributions.

Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$3,669,238 have been made to the partners.  As of September 30, 1996,
$3,320,113 or $304.91 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the
limited partners, representing a 61% return of the capital contributed.

As of September 30, 1996, the Partnership had approximately $184,500 in
working capital.  The Managing General Partner knows of no unusual
contractual commitments and believes the revenues generated from operations
are adequate to meet the needs of the Partnership.
