partner contributions of $3,123,000.

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 does not  anticipate  performing
workovers  in  1999.   The  Partnership could  possibly  experience  a  low
decline.

Oil and Gas Properties

Oil  and  gas  properties  are accounted for at cost  under  the  full-cost
method.  Under this method, all productive and nonproductive costs incurred
in  connection with the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and
gas  reserves  are capitalized.  Gain or loss on the sale of  oil  and  gas
properties  is not recognized unless significant oil and gas  reserves  are
involved.

The  Partnership's policy for depreciation, depletion and  amortization  of
oil  and  gas  properties is computed under the units  of  revenue  method.
Under the units of revenue method, depreciation, depletion and amortization
is  computed  on  the  basis of current gross revenues from  production  in
relation  to future gross revenues, based on current prices, from estimated
production of proved oil and gas reserves.

Should the net capitalized costs exceed the estimated present value of  oil
and gas reserves, discounted at 10%, such excess costs would be charged  to
current  expense.  As of June 30, 1999, the net capitalized costs  did  not
exceed  the estimated present value of the oil and gas reserves.   The  oil
price  environment  experienced during 1998 had an adverse  affect  on  the
Company's revenues and operating cash flow.  Further declines of oil prices
during  1999 could result in additional decreases in the carrying value  of
the Company's oil and gas properties.

Results of Operations

A.  General Comparison of the Quarters Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998

The  following  table  provides certain information  regarding  performance
factors for the quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998:

Revenues

The  Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased to $169,301 from $168,362
for the quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, an increase of
1%.   The principal factors affecting the comparison of the quarters  ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:

1.  The  average  price  for a barrel of oil received  by  the  Partnership
    increased  during the quarter ended June 30, 1999 as  compared  to  the
    quarter  ended June 30, 1998 by 33%, or $3.74 per barrel, resulting  in
    an   increase  of  approximately  $41,900  in  revenues.    Oil   sales
    represented  78%  of total oil and gas sales during the  quarter  ended
    June  30,  1999  as compared to 75% during the quarter ended  June  30,
    1998.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    increased during the same period by 10%, or $.17 per mcf, resulting  in
    an increase of approximately $4,400 in revenues.

    The  total  increase in revenues due to the change in  prices  received
    from oil and gas production is approximately $46,300.  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 2,400 barrels or 21% during the
    quarter  ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the quarter ended June  30,
    1998, resulting in a decrease of approximately $36,000 in revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 5,100 mcf or 20% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $9,100 in revenues.

    The  total  decrease  in revenues due to the change  in  production  is
    approximately $45,100.  The decrease in oil and gas production was  due
    primarily  to property sales, mechanical downtime in one gas  well  and
    natural decline.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs  and  expenses decreased to $173,810  from  $174,812  for  the
quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, a decrease of 1%.  The
decrease  is  the result of lower general and administrative and  depletion
expense, partially offset by an increase in lease operating expense.

1.  Lease  operating  costs  and  production  taxes  were  14%  higher,  or
    approximately $18,100 more during the quarter ended June  30,  1999  as
    compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1998.

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 9%
    or  approximately  $1,100 during the quarter ended  June  30,  1999  as
    compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1998.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $13,000 for the quarter ended  June  30,
    1999  from  $31,000  for the same period in 1998.   This  represents  a
    decrease  of 58%.  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 and gas used to determine
    the  Partnership's reserves for April 1, 1999 as compared to  1998  and
    the decrease in gross oil and gas revenues.

B.   General  Comparison of the Six Month Periods Ended June 30,  1999  and
1998

The  following  table  provides certain information  regarding  performance
factors for the six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998:

                                                Six Months
                                                  Ended          Percentage
                                                 June 30,         Increase
                                              1999       1998    (Decrease)
                                              ----       ----    ----------

Average price per barrel of oil          $    12.17     11.66       4%
Average price per mcf of gas             $     1.69      1.96    (14%)
Oil production in barrels                    18,000    22,500    (20%)
Gas production in mcf                        41,000    55,200    (26%)
Gross oil and gas revenue                $  288,601   370,523    (22%)
Net oil and gas revenue                  $   14,816    79,947    (81%)
Partnership distributions                $   23,204   121,000    (81%)
Limited partner distributions            $   22,704   108,900    (79%)
Per unit distribution to limited
 partners                                $     3.63     17.44    (79%)
Number of limited partner units               6,246     6,246

Revenues

The  Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $288,601 from $370,523
for  the  six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, a decrease
of  22%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the six  months
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:

1.  The  average  price  for a barrel of oil received  by  the  Partnership
    increased during the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to  the
    six months ended June 30, 1998 by 4%, or $.51 per barrel, resulting  in
    an   increase  of  approximately  $11,500  in  revenues.    Oil   sales
    represented 76% of total oil and gas sales during the six months  ended
    June  30, 1999 as compared to 71% during the six months ended June  30,
    1998.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    decreased during the same period by 14%, or $.27 per mcf, resulting  in
    a decrease of approximately $14,900 in revenues.

    The net total decrease in revenues due to the change in prices received
    from  oil and gas production is approximately $3,400.  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.

<PAGE>
2.  Oil  production decreased approximately 4,500 barrels or 20% during the
    six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the six months ended June
    30, 1998, resulting in a decrease of approximately $54,800 in revenues.

    Gas  production  decreased approximately 14,200 mcf or 26%  during  the
    same  period,  resulting  in  a decrease of  approximately  $24,000  in
    revenues.

    The  total  decrease  in revenues due to the change  in  production  is
    approximately $78,800.  The decrease in oil and gas production was  due
    primarily  to property sales, mechanical downtime in one gas  well  and
    natural decline.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs and expenses decreased to $330,104 from $378,976 for  the  six
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, a decrease of 13%.   The
decrease  is the result of a decline in lease operating costs, general  and
administrative expense and depletion expense.

1.  Lease   operating  costs  and  production  taxes  were  6%  lower,   or
    approximately $16,800 less during the six months ended June 30, 1999 as
    compared to the six months ended June 30, 1998.

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
    24%  or approximately $7,100 during the six months ended June 30,  1999
    as  compared  to the six months ended June 30, 1998.  The  decrease  of
    general  and  administrative  costs were  in  part  due  to  additional
    accounting costs incurred in 1998 in relation to the outsourcing of K-1
    tax  package preparation; a change in auditors requiring opinions  from
    both  the  predecessors and successor auditors  and  a  new  accounting
    pronouncement requiring review by the independent auditors of  the  10-
    Q's.   The Managing General Partner has also made an effort to cut back
    on general and administrative costs whenever and wherever possible.

3.  Depletion  expense decreased to $34,000 for the six months  ended  June
    30,  1999 from $59,000 for the same period in 1998.  This represents  a
    decrease  of 42%.  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 and gas used to determine
    the  Partnership's reserves for April 1, 1999 as compared to  1998  and
    the decrease in gross oil and gas revenues.

<PAGE>
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 $800 in  the
six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to approximately $121,200 in the
six  months ended June 30, 1998.  The primary source of the 1999 cash  flow
from operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash  flows  provided by (used in) investing activities were  approximately
$17,900  in the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to approximately
$(2,400)  in the six months ended June 30, 1998.  The principle  source  of
the  1999 cash flow from investing activities was the sale of oil  and  gas
properties.

Cash  flows used in financing activities were approximately $23,100 in  the
six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to approximately $121,000 in the
six  months ended June 30, 1998.  The only use in financing activities  was
the distributions to partners.

Total  distributions during the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $23,204
of  which $22,704 was distributed to the limited partners and $500  to  the
general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
six  months ended June 30, 1999 was $3.63.  Total distributions during  the
six  months  ended  June  30,  1998 were $121,000  of  which  $108,900  was
distributed  to  the limited partners and $12,100 to the general  partners.
The  per unit distribution to limited partners during the six months  ended
June 30, 1998 was $17.44.

The source for the 1999 distributions of $23,204 was oil and gas operations
of  approximately  $800, and the net change in oil and  gas  properties  of
approximately $17,900, with the balance from available cash on hand at  the
beginning of the period.  The source for the 1998 distributions of $121,000
was oil and gas operations of approximately $121,200.

Since  inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash  distributions
of  $2,947,022  have  been made to the partners.   As  of  June  30,  1999,
$2,671,148 or $427.66 per limited partner unit has been distributed to  the
limited partners, representing a 86% return of the capital contributed.

As  of  June 30, 1999, the Partnership had approximately $68,500 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.

<PAGE>
Liquidity - Managing General Partner

The  Managing General Partner has a highly leveraged capital structure with
over   $21.0  million  of  interest  payments  due  in  1999  on  its  debt
obligations.   Due  to  severely depressed commodity prices,  the  Managing
General  Partner  is experiencing difficulty in generating sufficient  cash
flow  to  meet  its obligations and sustain its operations.   The  Managing
General  Partner is currently in the process of renegotiating the terms  of
its  various obligations with its creditors and/or attempting to  seek  new
lenders  or  equity investors.  Additionally, the Managing General  Partner
would   consider  disposing  of  certain  assets  in  order  to  meet   its
obligations.

There  can  be  no  assurance  that  the Managing  General  Partner's  debt
restructuring efforts will be successful or that the lenders will agree  to
a   course   of  action  consistent  with  the  Managing  General  Partners
requirements  in restructuring the obligations.  Even if such agreement  is
reached,  it  may  require approval of additional  lenders,  which  is  not
assured.   Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the sales of  assets
can  be  successfully  accomplished on terms  acceptable  to  the  Managing
General   Partner.   Under  current  circumstances,  the  Managing  General
Partner's  ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its  ability
to  (1)  successfully  restructure  its obligations  or  obtain  additional
financing  as  may  be  required, (2) maintain  compliance  with  all  debt
covenants, (3) generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations  on  a
timely  basis, and (4) achieve satisfactory levels of future earnings.   If
the  Managing  General Partner is unsuccessful in its efforts,  it  may  be
unable to meet its obligations making it necessary to undertake such  other
actions as may be appropriate to preserve asset values.

Information Systems for the Year 2000

The  Managing  General Partner provides all data processing  needs  of  the
Partnership.  The Managing General Partner is continuing in its  effort  to
identify  and  assess its exposure to the potential Year 2000 software  and
imbedded  chip processing and date sensitivity issue.  Through the Managing
General  Partners  data processing subsidiary, Midland Southwest  Software,
Inc., the Managing General Partner proactively initiated a plan to identify
applicable hardware and software, assess impact and effect, estimate costs,
construct and implement corrective actions, and prepare contingency plans.

Identification & Assessment

The  Managing  General  Partner currently believes it  has  identified  the
internal  and external software and hardware that may have date sensitivity
problems.  Four critical systems and/or functions were identified:  (1) the
proprietary software of the Partnership (OGAS) that is used for oil  &  gas
property management and financial accounting functions, (2) the DEC VAX/VMS
hardware and operating system, (3) various third-party application software
including  lease  economic  analysis, fixed  asset  management,  geological
applications, and payroll/human resource programs, and (4) External Agents.

The  proprietary  software of the Partnership is currently  in  process  of
meeting  compliance requirements with an estimated completion date of  mid-
year  1999.   Since this is an internally generated software  package,  the
Managing General Partner has estimated the cost to be approximately $25,000
by  estimating the necessary man-hours.  These modifications are being made
by internal staff and do not represent additional costs to the Partnership.
The  Managing General Partner has not made contingency plans at  this  time
since  the  conversion is ahead of schedule and being handled  by  Managing
General  Partner controlled internal programmers.  Given the complexity  of
the systems being modified, it is anticipated that some problems may arise,
but  with  an expected early completion date, the Managing General  Partner
feels that adequate time is available to overcome unforeseen delays.

DEC has released a fully compliant version of its operating system that  is
used  by  the  Partnership on the DEC VAX system.  It will be installed  in
August 1999, the Managing General Partner believes that this will solve any
potential problems on the system.

<PAGE>

The  Managing  General Partner has identified various third-party  software
that may have date sensitivity problems and is working with the vendors  to
secure  solutions as well as prepare contingency plans.  After  review  and
evaluation  of  the vendor plans and status, the Managing  General  Partner
believes that the problems will be resolved prior to the year 2000  or  the
alternate  contingency plan will sufficiently and adequately remediate  the
problem so that there is no material disruption to business functions.

The  External  Agents  of  the  Partnership include  suppliers,  customers,
owners,  vendors, banks, product purchasers including pipelines, and  other
oil  and  gas property operators.  The Managing General Partner is  in  the
process of identifying and communicating with each critical External  Agent
about  its  plan  and progress thereof in addressing the Year  2000  issue.
This process is on schedule and the Managing General Partner, at this time,
believes  that  there  should  be no material  interference  or  disruption
associated with any of the critical External Agent's functions necessary to
the   Partnership's  business.   The  Managing  General  Partner  estimates
completion of this audit by mid-year 1999 and believes that alternate plans
can  be  devised to circumvent any material problems arising from  critical
External Agent noncompliance.

Cost

To  date,  the Managing General Partner has incurred only minimal  internal
man-hour costs for identification, planning, and maintenance.  The Managing
General  Partner believes that the necessary additional costs will also  be
minimal  and most will fall under normal and general maintenance procedures
and updates.  An accurate cost cannot be determined at this time, but it is
expected  that  the total cost to remediate all systems  to  be  less  than
$50,000.

Risks/Contingency

The  failure to correct critical systems of the Partnership, or the failure
of  a  material business partner or External Agent to resolve critical Year
2000  issues  could  have a serious adverse impact on the  ability  of  the
Partnership  to  continue operations and meet obligations.   Based  on  the
Managing  General  Partner's  evaluation and  assessment  to  date,  it  is
believed  that any interruption in operation will be minor and  short-lived
and  pose no material monetary loss, safety, or environmental risk  to  the
Partnership.   However, until all assessment is complete, it is  impossible
to accurately identify the risks, quantify potential impacts or establish a
final  contingency  plan. The Managing General Partner  believes  that  its
assessment and contingency planning will be complete no later than mid-year
1999.

Worst Case Scenario

The  Securities and Exchange Commission requires that public companies must
forecast the most reasonably likely worst case Year 2000 scenario, assuming
that  the  Managing  General Partner's Year 2000  plan  is  not  effective.
Analysis  of the most reasonably likely worst case Year 2000 scenarios  the
Partnership  may face leads to contemplation of the following possibilities
which,  though  considered  highly  unlikely,  must  be  included  in   any
consideration  of worst cases: widespread failure of electrical,  gas,  and
similar   supplies   by  utilities  serving  the  Partnership;   widespread
disruption  of  the  services of communications  common  carriers;  similar
disruption to means and modes of transportation for the Partnership and its
employees, contractors, suppliers, and customers; significant disruption to
the  Partnership's  ability to gain access to,  and  continue  working  in,
office  buildings  and other facilities; and the failure, of  third-parties
systems,  the  effects  of which would have a cumulative  material  adverse
impact  on  the  Partnership's  critical systems.   The  Partnership  could
experience  an inability by customers, traders, and others  to  pay,  on  a
timely  basis or at all, obligations owed to the Partnership.  Under  these
circumstances, the adverse effect on the Partnership, and the diminution of
Partnership revenues, could be material, although not quantifiable at  this
time.
