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.

Based  on  current conditions, management anticipates performing  workovers
during  the  next  few years to enhance production.  The Partnership  could
possibly  experience  the  following changes; a slight  increase  in  1997,
another  increase in 1998 and 1999, leveling off in 2000  and  beginning  a
decline in 2001.

    decreased  during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as  compared  to
    the  quarter  ended  September 30, 1996 by 16%, or  $3.22  per  barrel,
    resulting  in  a  decrease of approximately $50,600 in  revenues.   Oil
    sales  represented  81% of total oil and gas sales during  the  quarter
    ended  September 30, 1997 as compared to 83% during the  quarter  ended
    September 30, 1996.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    remained unchanged during the same period.

    The  total  decrease in revenues due to the change in  prices  received
    from oil and gas production is approximately $50,600.  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 1,400 barrels or 9%  during  the
   quarter  ended  September  30, 1997 as compared  to  the  quarter  ended
   September 30, 1996, resulting in a decrease of approximately $24,100  in
   revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 4,700 mcf or 14% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $9,700 in revenues.

    The  total  decrease  in revenues due to the change  in  production  is
    approximately $33,800.  The decrease is primarily a result of  property
    sales  during  1996 and the loss of gas production on one  well.   Also
    contributing  to the production decline is the natural decline  of  oil
    and  gas  production.  Since the Partnership does not drill or purchase
    oil  and  gas properties, it is normal to expect production to continue
    to decline over the remaining life of the wells.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs  and  expenses decreased to $236,769  from  $275,957  for  the
quarters  ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively,  a  decrease  of
14%.   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  10%  lower,  or
   approximately $19,900 less during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as
   compared  to  the  quarter ended September 30, 1996.   The  decrease  is
   primarily a result of workover costs incurred in 1996 as compared to 1997.

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
    2% or approximately $300 during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as
    compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1996.

3.  Depletion  expense decreased to $31,000 for the quarter ended September
    30,  1997 from $50,000 for the same period in 1996.  This represents  a
    decrease  of 38%.  Depletion is calculated using the units  of  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.   Contributing
    factors  to  the  decline in depletion expense between the  comparative
    periods  were  the increase in the price of oil used to  determine  the
    Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1997 as compared to 1996 and  the
    decline in gross oil and gas revenues.

and 1996

The  following  table  provides certain information  regarding  performance
factors for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996:

                                                 Nine Months

Number of limited partner units               10,889    10,889

Revenues

The   Partnership's  oil  and  gas  revenues  decreased  to  $981,722  from
$1,123,865  for  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997  and  1996,
respectively,  a  decrease  of 13%.  The principal  factors  affecting  the
comparison  of  the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and  1996  are  as
follows:

1.  The  average  price  for a barrel of oil received  by  the  Partnership
    decreased  during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as  compared
    to  the nine months ended September 30, 1996 by 4%, or $.73 per barrel,
    resulting  in  a  decrease of approximately $34,600 in  revenues.   Oil
    sales represented 81% of total oil and gas sales during the nine months
    ended  September  30, 1997 as compared to 82% during  the  nine  months
    ended September 30, 1996.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    increased  during the same period by 5%, or $.11 per mcf, resulting  in
    an increase of approximately $10,600 in revenues.

    The net total decrease in revenues due to the change in prices received
    from oil and gas production is approximately $24,000.  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.

<PAGE>

2.   Oil production decreased approximately 4,800 barrels or 10% during the
   nine  months  ended September 30, 1997 as compared to  the  nine  months
   ended  September  30,  1996,  resulting in a decrease  of  approximately
   $89,900 in revenues.

    Gas  production  decreased approximately 13,000 mcf or 13%  during  the
    same  period,  resulting  in  a decrease of  approximately  $28,600  in
    revenues.

    The  total  decrease  in revenues due to the change  in  production  is
    approximately $118,500.  The decrease is primarily a result of property
    sales  during  1996 and the loss of gas production on one  well.   Also
    contributing  to the production decline is the natural decline  of  oil
    and  gas  production.  Since the Partnership does not drill or purchase
    oil  and  gas properties, it is normal to expect production to continue
    to decline over the remaining life of the wells.


Costs and Expenses

Total  costs and expenses decreased to $736,002 from $846,467 for the  nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of  13%.
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  9%   lower,   or
   approximately  $60,500 less during the nine months ended  September  30,
   1997  as  compared  to the nine months ended September  30,  1996.   The
   decrease  is primarily a result of workover costs incurred  in  1996  as
   compared to 1997.

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 1%
    or  approximately $400 during the nine months ended September 30,  1997
    as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

3.  Depletion  expense  decreased to $95,000  for  the  nine  months  ended
    September  30,  1997 from $143,000 for the same period in  1996.   This
    represents a decrease of 34%.  Depletion is calculated using the  units
    of  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.
    Contributing  factors to the decline in depletion expense  between  the
    comparative  periods  were the increase in the price  of  oil  used  to
    determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1997 as compared to
    1996 and the decline in gross oil and gas revenues.

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 $426,400  in
the  nine  months  ended  September 30, 1997 as compared  to  approximately
$417,700  in the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  The primary  source
of the 1997 cash flow from operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash flows provided by or (used in) investing activities were approximately
($20,900)  in  the  nine months ended September 30,  1997  as  compared  to
approximately  $109,600 in the nine months ended September 30,  1996.   The
principle  use  of  the 1997 cash flow from investing  activities  was  the
change in oil and gas properties.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $402,300 in  the
nine  months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to approximately $542,600
in  the  nine  months ended September 30, 1996.  The only use in  financing
activities was the distributions to partners.

Total  distributions during the nine months ended September 30,  1997  were
$402,555  of  which  $362,555 was distributed to the limited  partners  and
$40,000  to  the  general partners.  The per unit distribution  to  limited
partners during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $33.30.  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.

The  source  for  the  1997  distributions of  $402,555  was  oil  and  gas
operations of approximately $426,400, partially offset by a change  in  oil
and  gas  property of approximately $20,900, resulting in excess  cash  for
contingencies  or  subsequent distributions.   The  sources  for  the  1996
distributions  of  $542,307  were oil and gas operations  of  approximately
$417,700  and the change in oil and gas property of approximately $109,600,
with  the  balance  from available cash on hand at  the  beginning  of  the
period.

Since  inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash  distributions
of  $4,254,793 have been made to the partners.  As of September  30,  1997,
$3,847,368 or $353.33 per limited partner unit has been distributed to  the
limited partners, representing a 71% return of the capital contributed.

As  of  September 30, 1997, the Partnership had approximately  $103,200  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.
