Part I
Item 1. Business
General
Southwest Oil & Gas Income Fund X-C, L.P. (the "Partnership" or
"Registrant") was organized as a Delaware limited partnership on
September 20, 1991. The offering of limited partnership interests began
October 1, 1991 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 January 13, 1992 and concluded April 30,
1992. The Partnership has no subsidiaries.
The Partnership has acquired interests in producing oil and gas properties,
and produced and marketed the crude oil and natural gas produced from such
properties. In most cases, the Partnership purchased working interests in
oil and gas properties. The Partnership purchased either all or part of
the rights and obligations under various oil and gas leases.
The principal executive offices of the Partnership are located at 407 N.
Big Spring, Suite 300, Midland, Texas, 79701. The Managing General Partner
of the Partnership, Southwest Royalties, Inc. (the "Managing General
Partner") and its staff of 98 individuals, together with certain
independent consultants used on an "as needed" basis, perform various
services on behalf of the Partnership, including the selection of oil and
gas properties and the marketing of production from such properties. H. H.
Wommack, III, a stockholder, director, President and Treasurer of the
Managing General Partner, is also a general partner. The Partnership has
no employees.
Principal Products, Marketing and Distribution
The Partnership has acquired and holds working interests in oil and gas
properties located in Alabama, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and
Texas. All activities of the Partnership are confined to the continental
United States. All oil and gas produced from these properties is sold to
unrelated third parties in the oil and gas business.
The revenues generated from the Partnership's oil and gas activities are
dependent upon the current market for oil and gas. The prices received by
the Partnership for its oil and gas production depend upon numerous factors
beyond the Partnership's control, including competition, economic,
political and regulatory developments and competitive energy sources, and
make it particularly difficult to estimate future prices of oil and natural
gas.
<PAGE>
During 1998 oil prices fell to their lowest daily levels since 1986 and to
their lowest annual average since 1976. In two years, oil prices have been
sliced by more than half. The factors that started the decline in oil
prices in 1997 are the same ones that have kept them down in 1998. It was
believed that there would be continued heavy consumption coming from the
Asian region, but the collapse of their markets late in 1997 carried over
to this year bringing demand down with it. Asian consumption had all but
disappeared in 1998, creating an oversupply of crude oil on the market.
That drop in demand has lasted longer than anyone had anticipated, but
hopes of a recovery abound. Another reason for the continued drop in
prices has been OPEC's unwillingness to completely comply with production
cuts established in March and again in June. Although they have been near
90% compliance at times, they have also been below 70% on a monthly basis.
Even a four-day bombing in December of Iraqi military sites could create
only a one-day rally in oil prices. Crude oil closed December 31, 1998 at
$12.05 per barrel on the NYMEX and posted prices closed at $9.50 per
barrel.
In a year of fairly optimistic expectations for gas prices, the average
price of natural gas wound up declining in 1998 to its lowest level since
1995. Although the nationwide average did remain above $2.00 per MMBTU,
1998's prices were approximately 17% lower than those seen in 1997. The
combination of mild weather throughout the year and a gas storage surplus
both contributed to the low prices. Analysts' predictions for 1999 prices
vary, ranging from a low of $1.87 per MMBTU to a high of $2.40 per MMBTU.
Reduced production throughout the U.S. industry, along with large gas
storage withdrawals during the first weeks of January 1999, are both key
factors in our belief that the 1999 average gas price will remain around
$1.80 per MMBTU level.
Following is a table of the ratios of revenues received from oil and gas
production for the last three years:
Oil Gas
1998 69% 31%
1997 72% 28%
1996 75% 25%
As the table indicates, the majority of the Partnership's revenue is from
its oil production, and Partnership revenues will be highly dependent upon
the future prices and demands for oil.
Seasonality of Business
Although the demand for natural gas is highly seasonal, with higher demand
in the colder winter months and in very hot summer months, the Partnership
has been able to sell all of its natural gas, either through contracts in
place or on the spot market at the then prevailing spot market price. As a
result, the volumes sold by the Partnership have not fluctuated materially
with the change of season.
<PAGE>
Customer Dependence
The Managing General Partner intends that no material portion of the
Partnership's business is dependent on a single purchaser, or a very few
purchasers, where the loss of one would have a material adverse impact on
the Partnership. Three purchasers accounted for 66% of the Partnership's
total oil and gas production during 1998: Mesa Pipe Line Company for 30%,
Duke Energy Transport and Trad. for 22% and Hal J Rasmussen Operating Inc.
for 14%. Two purchasers accounted for 71% of the Partnership's total oil
and gas production during 1997: Mesa Pipe Line Company for 55%, and Hal J
Rasmussen Operating Inc. for 16%. Three purchasers accounted for 79% of
the Partnership's total oil and gas production during 1996: Mesa Pipe Line
Company for 57%, Scurlock Permian Corporation for 11% and Hal J. Rasmussen
Operating, Inc. for 11%. All purchasers of the Partnership's oil and gas
production are unrelated third parties. In the event any of these
purchasers were to discontinue purchasing the Partnership's production, the
Managing General Partner believes that a substitute purchaser or purchasers
could be located without undue delay. No other purchaser accounted for an
amount equal to or greater than 10% of the Partnership's sales of oil and
gas production.
Competition
Because the Partnership has utilized all of its funds available for the
acquisition of interests in producing oil and gas properties, it is not
subject to competition from other oil and gas property purchasers. See
Item 2, Properties.
Factors that may adversely affect the Partnership include delays in
completing arrangements for the sale of production, availability of a
market for production, rising operating costs of producing oil and gas and
complying with applicable water and air pollution control statutes,
increasing costs and difficulties of transportation, and marketing of
competitive fuels. Moreover, domestic oil and gas must compete with
imported oil and gas and with coal, atomic energy, hydroelectric power and
other forms of energy.
Regulation
Oil and Gas Production - The production and sale of oil and gas is subject
to federal and state governmental regulation in several respects, such as
existing price controls on natural gas and possible price controls on crude
oil, regulation of oil and gas production by state and local governmental
agencies, pollution and environmental controls and various other direct and
indirect regulation. Many jurisdictions have periodically imposed
limitations on oil and gas production by restricting the rate of flow for
oil and gas wells below their actual capacity to produce and by imposing
acreage limitations for the drilling of wells. The federal government has
the power to permit increases in the amount of oil imported from other
countries and to impose pollution control measures.
<PAGE>
Various aspects of the Partnership's oil and gas activities are regulated
by administrative agencies under statutory provisions of the states where
such activities are conducted and by certain agencies of the federal
government for operations on Federal leases. Moreover, certain prices at
which the Partnership may sell its natural gas production are controlled by
the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978, the Natural Gas Wellhead Decontrol
Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated by the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission.
Environmental - The Partnership's oil and gas activities are subject to
extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the
generation, storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of
materials into the environment. Governmental authorities have the power to
enforce compliance with their regulations, and violations carry substantial
penalties. This regulatory burden on the oil and gas industry increases
its cost of doing business and consequently affects its profitability. The
Managing General Partner is unable to predict what, if any, effect
compliance will have on the Partnership.
Industry Regulations and Guidelines - Certain industry regulations and
guidelines apply to the registration, qualification and operation of oil
and gas programs in the form of limited partnerships. The Partnership is
subject to these guidelines which regulate and restrict transactions
between the Managing General Partner and the Partnership. The Partnership
complies with these guidelines and the Managing General Partner does not
anticipate that continued compliance will have a material adverse effect on
Partnership operations.
Partnership Employees
The Partnership has no employees; however the Managing General Partner has
a staff of geologists, engineers, accountants, landmen and clerical staff
who engage in Partnership activities and operations and perform additional
services for the Partnership as needed. In addition to the Managing
General Partner's staff, the Partnership engages independent consultants
such as petroleum engineers and geologists as needed. As of December 31,
1998 there were 98 individuals directly employed by the Managing General
Partner in various capacities.
Item 2. Properties
In determining whether an interest in a particular producing property was
to be acquired, the Managing General Partner considered such criteria as
estimated oil and gas reserves, estimated cash flow from the sale of
production, present and future prices of oil and gas, the extent of
undeveloped and unproved reserves, the potential for secondary, tertiary
and other enhanced recovery projects and the availability of markets.
<PAGE>
As of December 31, 1998, the Partnership possessed an interest in oil and
gas properties located in Escambia and Lamar Counties of Alabama; Labette
and Neosho Counties of Kansas; La Fourche, Pointe Coupe and Terrebonne
Parishes of Louisiana; Chaves, Eddy, and Lea Counties of New Mexico;
Custer, Roger Mills and Washita Counties of Oklahoma; and Colorado,
Dickens, Gaines, Hemphill, Live Oak, Martin, Mitchell, Scurry, Upton and
Yoakum Counties of Texas. These properties consist of various interests in
430 wells and units.
Due to the Partnership's objective of maintaining current operations
without engaging in the drilling of any developmental or exploratory wells,
or additional acquisitions of producing properties, there have not been any
significant changes in properties during 1998, 1997 and 1996.
During 1998, forty-nine leases were sold for approximately $32,400. During
1997, one lease was sold for approximately $1,700. During 1996, five
leases were sold for approximately $225,400.

*Ryder Scott Company Petroleum Engineers prepared the reserve and present
value data for 96.4% of the Partnership's existing properties as of January
1, 1999. Another independent petroleum engineer prepared the remaining
3.6% of the Partnership's properties. The reserve estimates were made in
accordance with guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-X. Such guidelines
require oil and gas reserve reports be prepared under existing economic and
operating conditions with no provisions for price and cost escalation
except by contractual arrangements.
The New York Mercantile Exchange price at December 31, 1998 of $12.05 was
used as the beginning basis for the oil price. Oil price adjustments from
$12.05 per barrel were made in the individual evaluations to reflect oil
quality, gathering and transportation costs. The results are an average
price received at the lease of $9.26 per barrel in the preparation of the
reserve report as of January 1, 1999.
In the determination of the gas price, the New York Mercantile Exchange
price at December 31, 1998 of $1.95 was used as the beginning basis. Gas
price adjustments from $1.95 per Mcf were made in the individual
evaluations to reflect BTU content, gathering and transportation costs and
gas processing and shrinkage. The results are an average price received at
the lease of $1.72 per Mcf in the preparation of the reserve report as of
January 1, 1999.
<PAGE>
As also discussed in Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, oil and gas prices were
subject to frequent changes in 1998.
The evaluation of oil and gas properties is not an exact science and
inevitably involves a significant degree of uncertainty, particularly with
respect to the quantity of oil or gas that any given property is capable of
producing. Estimates of oil and gas reserves are based on available
geological and engineering data, the extent and quality of which may vary
in each case and, in certain instances, may prove to be inaccurate.
Consequently, properties may be depleted more rapidly than the geological
and engineering data have indicated.
Unanticipated depletion, if it occurs, will result in lower reserves than
previously estimated; thus an ultimately lower return for the Partnership.
Basic changes in past reserve estimates occur annually. As new data is
gathered during the subsequent year, the engineer must revise his earlier
estimates. A year of new information, which is pertinent to the estimation
of future recoverable volumes, is available during the subsequent year
evaluation. In applying industry standards and procedures, the new data
may cause the previous estimates to be revised. This revision may increase
or decrease the earlier estimated volumes. Pertinent information gathered
during the year may include actual production and decline rates, production
from offset wells drilled to the same geologic formation, increased or
decreased water production, workovers, and changes in lifting costs, among
others. Accordingly, reserve estimates are often different from the
quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered.
Partnership has reserves which are classified as proved developed
producing, proved developed non-producing and proved undeveloped. All of
the proved reserves are included in the engineering reports which evaluate
the Partnership's present reserves.
Because the Partnership does not engage in drilling activities, the
development of proved undeveloped reserves is conducted pursuant to farmout
arrangements with the Managing General Partner or unrelated third parties.
Generally, the Partnership retains a carried interest such as an overriding
royalty interest under the terms of a farmout, or receives cash.
The Partnership or the owners of properties in which the Partnership owns
an interest can engage in workover projects or supplementary recovery
projects, for example, to extract behind the pipe reserves which qualify as
proved developed non-producing reserves. See Part II, Item 7, Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Partnership is
a party.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of 1998 through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

Part II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
Matters
Market Information
Limited partnership interests, or units, in the Partnership were initially
offered and sold for a price of $500. Limited partner units are not traded
on any exchange and there is no public or organized trading market for
them. The Managing General Partner has become aware of certain limited and
sporadic transfers of units between limited partners and third parties, but
has no verifiable information regarding the prices at which such units have
been transferred. Further, a transferee may not become a substitute
limited partner without the consent of the Managing General Partner.
The Managing General Partner has the right, but not the obligation, to
purchase limited partnership units should an investor desire to sell. The
value of the unit is determined by adding the sum of (1) current assets
less liabilities and (2) the present value of the future net revenues
attributable to proved reserves and by discounting the future net revenues
at a rate not in excess of the prime rate charged by NationsBank, N.A. of
Midland, Texas plus one percent (1%), which value shall be further reduced
by a risk factor discount of no more than one-third (1/3) to be determined
by the Managing General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. In
1998, 38 limited partner units were tendered to and purchased by the
Managing General Partner at an average base price of $156.92 per unit. In
1997, 6 limited partner units were tendered to and purchased by the
Managing General Partner at an average base price of $295.25 per unit. In
1996, no limited partner units were purchased by the Managing General
Partner.
Number of Limited Partner Interest Holders
As of December 31, 1998, there were 297 holders of limited partner units in
the Partnership.
Distributions
Pursuant to Article III, Section 3.05 of the Partnership's Certificate and
Agreement of Limited Partnership, "Net Cash Flow" is distributed to the
partners on a monthly basis. "Net Cash Flow" is defined as "the cash
generated by the Partnership's investments in producing oil and gas
properties, less (i) General and Administrative Costs, (ii) Operating
Costs, and (iii) any reserves necessary to meet current and anticipated
needs of the Partnership, as determined in the sole discretion of the
Managing General Partner."
<PAGE>
During 1998, distributions were made totaling $187,500, with $168,750
distributed to the limited partners and $18,750 to the general partners.
For the year ended December 31, 1998, distributions of $27.02 per limited
partner unit were made, based upon 6,246 limited partner units outstanding.
The decline in distributions experienced in 1998 will be expected to
continue into 1999 based on the continued low oil price economy. During
1997, twelve monthly distributions were made totaling $730,500, with
$657,450 distributed to the limited partners and $73,050 to the general
partners. For the year ended December 31, 1997, distributions of $105.26
per limited partner unit were made, based upon 6,246 limited partner units
outstanding. During 1996, twelve monthly distributions were made totaling
$640,452, with $582,702 distributed to the limited partners and $57,750 to
the general partners. For the year ended December 31, 1996, distributions
of $93.29 per limited partner unit were made, based upon 6,246 limited
partner units outstanding.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data
The following selected financial data for the years ended December 31,
1998, 1997, 1996, 1995 and 1994 should be read in conjunction with the

<PAGE>
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
General
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 any net proceeds from operations to the
general and limited partners. Net revenues from producing oil and gas
properties are not reinvested in other revenue producing assets except to
the extent that producing facilities and wells are reworked or where
methods are employed to improve or enable more efficient recovery of oil
and gas reserves. The economic life of the Partnership thus depends on the
period over which the Partnership's oil and gas reserves are economically
recoverable.
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 and on 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 limited
partners is therefore expected to fluctuate in later years based on these
factors.
Based on current conditions, management anticipates performing no workovers
during 1999 to enhance production. With expected price improvement,
workovers may be performed in the year 2000. The partnership may have an
increase in the year 2000, otherwise, the Partnership will most likely
experience it's historical decline of approximately 9% per year.

Results of Operations
A. General Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 1998 and 1997
The following table provides certain information regarding performance
factors for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997:
Year Ended Percentage
December 31, Increase
1998 1997 (Decrease)
Average price per barrel of oil $ 10.90 18.03 (40%)
Average price per mcf of gas $ 2.00 2.58 (22%)
Oil production in barrels 42,500 47,500 (11%)
Gas production in mcf 104,900 129,800 (19%)
Gross oil and gas revenue $ 672,7171,190,719 (44%)
Net oil and gas revenue $ 143,533 535,349 (73%)
Partnership distributions $ 187,500 730,500 (74%)
Limited partner distributions $ 168,750 657,450 (74%)
Per unit distribution to limited partners $ 27.02 105.26 (74%)
Number of limited partner units 6,246 6,246
Revenues
The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $672,717 from
$1,190,719 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, a
decrease of 44%. The principal factors affecting the comparison of the
years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:
1. The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
decreased during the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to the
year ended December 31, 1997 by 40%, or $7.13 per barrel, resulting in
a decrease of approximately $338,700 in revenues. Oil sales
represented 69% of total oil and gas sales during the year ended
December 31, 1998 as compared to 72% during the year ended December 31,
1997.
The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership
decreased during the same period by 22%, or $.58 per mcf, resulting in
a decrease of approximately $75,300 in revenues.
The total decrease in revenues due to the change in prices received
from oil and gas production is approximately $414,000. 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 5,000 barrels or 11% during the
year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to the year ended December 31,
1997, resulting in a decrease of approximately $54,500 in revenues.
Gas production decreased approximately 24,900 mcf or 19% during the
same period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $49,800 in
revenues.
The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
approximately $104,300. The decrease in gas production is due
primarily to property sales and natural decline on one well.
Costs and Expenses
Total costs and expenses decreased to $778,189 from $853,458 for the years
ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, a decrease of 9%. The
decrease is the result of lower lease operating costs, partially offset by
an increase in depletion expense and general and administrative expense.
1. Lease operating costs and production taxes were 19% lower, or
approximately $126,200 less during the year ended December 31, 1998 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 1997. Decrease due primarily to
lower advalorem and production taxes and less workovers due to lower oil
prices.
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 increased
18% or approximately $7,900 during the year ended December 31, 1998 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 1997. Increase in accounting
fees due to necessity of contracting out preparation of tax depletion
and K-1 schedules.
3. Depletion expense increased to $197,000 for the year ended December 31,
1998 from $154,000 for the same period in 1997. This represents an
increase of 28%. 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.
A contributing factor to the increase in depletion expense between the
comparative periods was the decrease in the price of oil and gas used
to determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1999 as compared
to 1998. Another contributing factor was due to the impact of
revisions of previous estimates on reserves. Revisions of previous
estimates can be attributed to the changes in production performance,
oil and gas price and production costs. The impact of the revision
would have increased depletion expense approximately $40,000 as of
December 31, 1997.

Revenues
The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $1,190,719 from
$1,342,549 for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a
decrease of 11%. The principal factors affecting the comparison of the
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:
1. The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
decreased during the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the
year ended December 31, 1996 by 8%, or $1.50 per barrel, resulting in a
decrease of approximately $77,300 in revenues. Oil sales represented
72% of total oil and gas sales during the year ended December 31, 1997
as compared to 75% during the year ended December 31, 1996.
The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership
increased during the same period by 4%, or $.09 per mcf, resulting in
an increase of approximately $12,200 in revenues.
The net total decrease in revenues due to the change in prices received
from oil and gas production is approximately $65,100. 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 4,000 barrels or 8% during the
year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the year ended December 31,
1996, resulting in a decrease of approximately $72,100 in revenues.
Gas production decreased approximately 5,500 mcf or 4% during the same
period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $14,200 in revenues.
The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
approximately $86,300. The decrease is attributable to natural decline
and the sale of properties in 1996.
Costs and Expenses
Total costs and expenses increased to $853,458 from $845,620 for the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, an increase of 1%. The
increase is the result of higher depletion expense partially offset by
lease operating costs and general and administrative expense.
2. Lease operating costs and production taxes were 3% lower, or
approximately $21,100 less during the year ended December 31, 1997 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 1996.
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 $700 during the year ended December 31, 1997 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 1996.
3. Depletion expense increased to $154,000 for the year ended December 31,
1997 from $118,000 for the same period in 1996. This represents an
increase of 31%. 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.
A contributing factor to the increase in depletion expense between the
comparative periods was the decrease in the price of oil and gas used
to determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1998 as compared
to 1997. Another contributing factor was due to the impact of
revisions of previous estimates on reserves. Revisions of previous
estimates can be attributed to the changes in production performance,
oil and gas price and production costs. The impact of the revision
would have increased depletion expense approximately $31,000 as of
December 31, 1996.
<PAGE>
C. Revenue and Distribution Comparison
Partnership income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and
1996 was $(104,046), $345,547 and $504,735, respectively. Excluding the
effects of depreciation, depletion and amortization, net income would have
been $92,954 in 1998, $499,547 in 1997 and $629,133 in 1996.
Correspondingly, Partnership distributions for the years ended December 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996 were $187,500, $730,500 and $640,452, respectively.
These differences are indicative of the changes in oil and gas prices,
production and property sales.
The source for the 1998 distributions of $187,500 was oil and gas
operations of approximately $175,300 and the change in oil and gas
properties of approximately $26,100, resulting in excess cash for
contingencies or subsequent distributions. The source for the 1997
distributions of $730,500 was oil and gas operations of approximately
$539,600 and the change in oil and gas properties of approximately
$(7,800), with the balance from available cash on hand at the beginning of
the period. The sources for the 1996 distributions of $640,452 were oil
and gas operations of approximately $594,400 and property sales of
approximately $228,000, offset by additions to oil and gas properties of
approximately $8,800, resulting in excess cash for contingencies or
subsequent distributions.
Total distributions during the year ended December 31, 1998 were $187,500
of which $168,750 was distributed to the limited partners and $18,750 to
the general partners. The per unit distribution to limited partners during
the same period was $27.02. Total distributions during the year ended
December 31, 1997 were $730,500 of which $657,450 was distributed to the
limited partners and $73,050 to the general partners. The per unit
distribution to limited partners during the same period was $105.26. Total
distributions during the year ended December 31, 1996 were $640,452 of
which $582,702 was distributed to the limited partners and $57,750 to the
general partners.
Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions
of $2,923,818 have been made to the partners. As of December 31, 1998,
$2,648,444 or $424.02 per limited partner unit, has been distributed to the
limited partners, representing a 85% return of the capital contributed.
<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 $175,260 in
1998 compared to $539,600 in 1997 and approximately $594,400 in 1996. The
primary source of the 1998 cash flow from operating activities was
profitable operations.
Cash flows provided by or (used in) investing activities were approximately
$26,100 in 1998 compared to $(7,800) in 1997 and approximately $219,200 in
1996. The principal source of the 1998 cash flow from investing activities
was sale of oil and gas properties.
Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $187,700 in 1998
compared to $730,500 in 1997 and approximately $640,500 in 1996. The only
1998 use in financing activities was the distributions to partners.
As of December 31, 1998, the Partnership has approximately $80,800 in
working capital. The Managing General Partner believes the revenue
generated from operations are adequate to meet the operating needs of the
Partnership.
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.
<PAGE>
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.
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.
<PAGE>
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.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization
Southwest Oil & Gas Income Fund X-C, L.P. was organized under the laws
of the state of Delaware on September 20, 1991, for the purpose of
acquiring producing oil and gas properties and to produce and market
crude oil and natural gas produced from such properties for a term of
50 years, unless terminated at an earlier date as provided for in the
Partnership Agreement. The Partnership sells its oil and gas
production to several purchasers with the prices it receives being
dependent upon the oil and gas economy. Southwest Royalties, Inc.
serves as the Managing General Partner and H. H. Wommack, III, as the
individual general partner. Revenues, costs and expenses are
allocated as follows:
Limited General
Partners Partners
-------- --------
Interest income on capital contributions 100% -
Oil and gas sales 90% 10%
All other revenues 90% 10%
Organization and offering costs (1) 100% -
Syndication costs 100% -
Amortization of organization costs 100% -
Property acquisition costs 100% -
Gain/loss on property disposition 90% 10%
Operating and administrative costs (2) 90% 10%
Depreciation, depletion and amortization
of oil and gas properties 100% -
All other costs 90% 10%
(1) All organization costs in excess of 3% of initial capital
contributions will be paid by the Managing General Partner and
will be treated as a capital contribution. The Partnership paid
the Managing General Partner an amount equal to 3% of initial
capital contributions for such organization costs.
(2) Administrative costs in any year which exceed 2% of capital
contributions shall be paid by the Managing General Partner and
will be treated as a capital contribution.

Notes to Financial Statements
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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.
Under the units of revenue method, the Partnership computes the
provision by multiplying the total unamortized cost of oil and gas
properties by an overall rate determined by dividing (a) oil and gas
revenues during the period by (b) the total future gross oil and gas
revenues as estimated by the Partnership's independent petroleum
consultants. It is reasonably possible that those estimates of
anticipated future gross revenues, the remaining estimated economic
life of the product, or both could be changed significantly in the
near term due to the potential fluctuation of oil and gas prices or
production. The depletion estimate would also be affected by this
change.
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 December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996
the net capitalized costs did not exceed the estimated present value
of the oil and gas reserves.
Estimates and Uncertainties
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Syndication Costs
Syndication costs are accounted for as a reduction of partnership
equity.
Environmental Costs
The Partnership is subject to extensive federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are constantly
changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and
may require the Partnership to remove or mitigate the environmental
effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances
at various sites. Environmental expenditures are expensed or
capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. Costs which
improve a property as compared with the condition of the property when
originally constructed or acquired and costs which prevent future
environmental contamination are capitalized. Expenditures that relate
to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no
future economic benefits are expensed. Liabilities for expenditures
of a non-capital nature are recorded when environmental assessment
and/or remediation is probable, and the costs can be reasonably
estimated.
Gas Balancing
The Partnership utilizes the sales method of accounting for gas-
balancing arrangements. Under this method the Partnership recognizes
sales revenue on all gas sold. As of December 31, 1998, there were no
significant amounts of imbalance in terms of units and value. As of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership was over produced by 3,631
and 3,065 mcf of gas.
Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes is reflected in these financial
statements, since the tax effects of the Partnership's income or loss
are passed through to the individual partners.
In accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," the
Partnership's tax basis in its net oil and gas properties at December
31, 1998 and 1997 is $162,568 and $128,503, respectively, more than
that shown on the accompanying Balance Sheets in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Partnership considers
all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. The Partnership maintains its
cash at one financial institution.
Number of Limited Partner Units
As of December 31, 1998 and 1997 there were 6,246 limited partner
units outstanding held by 297 partners. As of December 31, 1996 there
were 6,246 limited partner units outstanding held by 296 partners.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Partnership is subject to credit risk through trade receivables.
Although a substantial portion of its debtors' ability to pay is
dependent upon the oil and gas industry, credit risk is minimized due
to a large customer base. All partnership revenues are received by
the Managing General Partner and subsequently remitted to the
partnership and all expenses are paid by the Managing General Partner
and subsequently reimbursed by the partnership.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash and accounts receivable approximates fair
value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Net Income (loss) per limited partnership unit
The net income (loss) per limited partnership unit is calculated by
using the number of outstanding limited partnership units.
3. 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
4. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The Managing General Partner has the right, but not the obligation, to
purchase limited partnership units should an investor desire to sell.
The value of the unit is determined by adding the sum of (1) current
assets less liabilities and (2) the present value of the future net
revenues attributable to proved reserves and by discounting the future
net revenues at a rate not in excess of the prime rate charged by
NationsBank, N.A. of Midland, Texas plus one percent (1%), which value
shall be further reduced by a risk factor discount of no more than one-
third (1/3) to be determined by the Managing General Partner in its
sole and absolute discretion.
The Partnership is subject to various federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations which establish standards and
requirements for protection of the environment. The Partnership
cannot predict the future impact of such standards and requirements,
which are subject to change and can have retroactive effectiveness.
The Partnership continues to monitor the status of these laws and
regulations.
As of December 31, 1998, the Partnership has not been fined, cited or
notified of any environmental violations and management is not aware
of any unasserted violations which would have a material adverse
effect upon capital expenditures, earnings or the competitive position
in the oil and gas industry. However, the Managing General Partner
does recognize by the very nature of its business, material costs
could be incurred in the near term to bring the Partnership into total
compliance. The amount of such future expenditures is not reliably
determinable due to several factors, including the unknown magnitude
of possible contaminations, the unknown timing and extent of the
corrective actions which may be required, the determination of the
Partnership's liability in proportion to other responsible parties and
the extent to which such expenditures are recoverable from insurance
or indemnifications from prior owners of Partnership's properties.

5. Related Party Transactions
A significant portion of the oil and gas properties in which the
Partnership has an interest are operated by and purchased from the
Managing General Partner. As is usual in the industry and as provided
for in the operating agreement for each respective oil and gas
property in which the Partnership has an interest, the operator is
paid an amount for administrative overhead attributable to operating
such properties, with such amounts to Southwest Royalties, Inc. as
operator approximating $182,000, $173,000 and $176,000, respectively,
for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996. In addition,
the Managing General Partner and certain officers and employees may
have an interest in some of the properties that the Partnership also
participates.
Certain subsidiaries or affiliates of the Managing General Partner
perform various oilfield services for properties in which the
Partnership owns an interest. Such services aggregated approximately
$4,100, $100 and $200 for the year ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and
1996. The Managing General Partner believes that these costs are
comparable to similar charges paid by the Partnership to unrelated
third parties.
Southwest Royalties, Inc., the Managing General Partner, was paid
$36,000 during 1998, 1997 and 1996, as an administrative fee, for
indirect general and administrative overhead expenses.
Receivables from Southwest Royalties, Inc., the Managing General
Partner, of approximately $57,902 and $140,208 are from oil and gas
production, net of lease operating costs and production taxes, as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
In addition, a director and officer of the Managing General Partner is
a partner in a law firm, with such firm providing legal services to
the Partnership. There were no legal services provided for the year
ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and approximately $50 for the year ended
December 31, 1996.
6. Major Customers
The Managing General Partner intends that no material portion of the
Partnership's business is dependent on a single purchaser, or a very
few purchasers, where the loss of one would have a material adverse
impact on the Partnership. Three purchasers accounted for 66% of the
Partnership's total oil and gas production during 1998: Mesa Pipe Line
Company for 30%, Duke Energy Transport and Trad. for 22% and Hal J
Rasmussen Operating Inc. for 14%. Two purchasers accounted for 71% of
the Partnership's total oil and gas production during 1997: Mesa Pipe
Line Company 55%, and Hal J Rasmussen Operating Inc. 16%. Three
purchasers accounted for 79% of the Partnership's total oil and gas
production during 1996: Mesa Pipe Line Company 57%, Scurlock Permian
Corporation 11% and Hal J. Rasmussen Operating, Inc. 11%. All
purchasers of the Partnership's oil and gas production are unrelated
third parties. In the event any of these purchasers were to
discontinue purchasing the Partnership's production, the Managing
General Partner believes that a substitute purchaser or purchasers
could be located without undue delay. No other purchaser accounted
for an amount equal to or greater than 10% of the Partnership's sales
of oil and gas production.

December 31, 1998 40,000 536,000

All of the Partnership's reserves are located within the continental
United States.
*Ryder Scott Company Petroleum Engineers prepared the reserve and
present value data for 96.4% of the Partnership's existing properties
as of January 1, 1999. Another independent petroleum engineer
prepared the remaining 3.6% of the Partnership's properties. The
reserve estimates were made in accordance with guidelines established
by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 4-10(a) of
Regulation S-X. Such guidelines require oil and gas reserve reports
be prepared under existing economic and operating conditions with no
provisions for price and cost escalation except by contractual
arrangements.
The New York Mercantile Exchange price at December 31, 1998 of $12.05
was used as the beginning basis for the oil price. Oil price
adjustments from $12.05 per barrel were made in the individual
evaluations to reflect oil quality, gathering and transportation
costs. The results are an average price received at the lease of
$9.26 per barrel in the preparation of the reserve report as of
January 1, 1999.

Notes to Financial Statements
7. Estimated Oil and Gas Reserves (unaudited) - continued
In the determination of the gas price, the New York Mercantile
Exchange price at December 31, 1998 of $1.95 was used as the beginning
basis. Gas price adjustments from $1.95 per Mcf were made in the
individual evaluations to reflect BTU content, gathering and
transportation costs and gas processing and shrinkage. The results
are an average price received at the lease of $1.72 per Mcf in the
preparation of the reserve report as of January 1, 1999.
The evaluation of oil and gas properties is not an exact science and
inevitably involves a significant degree of uncertainty, particularly
with respect to the quantity of oil or gas that any given property is
capable of producing. Estimates of oil and gas reserves are based on
available geological and engineering data, the extent and quality of
which may vary in each case and, in certain instances, may prove to be
inaccurate. Consequently, properties may be depleted more rapidly
than the geological and engineering data have indicated.
Unanticipated depletion, if it occurs, will result in lower reserves
than previously estimated; thus an ultimately lower return for the
Partnership. Basic changes in past reserve estimates occur annually.
As new data is gathered during the subsequent year, the engineer must
revise his earlier estimates. A year of new information, which is
pertinent to the estimation of future recoverable volumes, is
available during the subsequent year evaluation. In applying industry
standards and procedures, the new data may cause the previous
estimates to be revised. This revision may increase or decrease the
earlier estimated volumes. Pertinent information gathered during the
year may include actual production and decline rates, production from
offset wells drilled to the same geologic formation, increased or
decreased water production, workovers, and changes in lifting costs,
among others. Accordingly, reserve estimates are often different from
the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered.
Partnership has reserves which are classified as proved developed
producing, proved developed non-producing and proved undeveloped. All
of the proved reserves are included in the engineering reports which
evaluate the Partnership's present reserves.
Because the Partnership does not engage in drilling activities, the
development of proved undeveloped reserves is conducted pursuant to
farmout arrangements with the Managing General Partner or unrelated
third parties. Generally, the Partnership retains a carried interest
such as an overriding royalty interest under the terms of a farmout,
or receives cash.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and
Financial Disclosure
On June 9, 1997 Southwest Royalties, Inc. the Partnership's Managing
General Partner (Southwest Royalties, Inc.) dismissed Joseph Decosimo and
Company as the Partnership's independent accountants. The Managing General
Partner's Board of Directors approved the decision to change the
Partnership's independent accountants.
The report of Joseph Decosimo and Company on the financial statements for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 contained no adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principle.
In connection with its audit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996
and through June 9, 1997, there have been no disagreements with Joseph
Decosimo and Company on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statements disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Joseph Decosimo and
Company would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on
the financial statements for such year.
The Registrant has requested that Joseph Decosimo and Company furnish it
with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not is agrees with
the above statements. A copy of that letter is included as Exhibit 16 and
has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
In 1998, the Managing General Partner received $36,000 as an administrative
fee. This amount is part of the general and administrative expenses
incurred by the Partnership.
In some instances the Managing General Partner and certain officers and
employees may be working interest owners in an oil and gas property in
which the Partnership also has a working interest. Certain properties in
which the Partnership has an interest are operated by the Managing General
Partner, who was paid approximately $182,000 for administrative overhead
attributable to operating such properties during 1998.
Certain subsidiaries or affiliates of the Managing General Partner perform
various oilfield services for properties in which the Partnership owns an
interest. Such services aggregated approximately $4,100 for the year ended
December 31, 1998.
In the opinion of management, the terms of the above transactions are
similar to ones with unaffiliated third parties.
