2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     The  interim financial information as of March 31, 1998, and  for  the
     three  months ended March 31, 1998, is unaudited.  Certain information
     and  footnote  disclosures normally included in  financial  statements
     prepared  in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
     have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules
     and  regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.   However,
     in  the  opinion  of  management, these interim  financial  statements
     include all the necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of
     the interim periods and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring
     nature.  The interim consolidated financial statements should be  read
     in  conjunction  with the audited financial statements  for  the  year
     ended December 31, 1997.

offering registered under the name Southwest Royalties Institutional  1990-
91  Income Program.  Minimum capital requirements for the Partnership  were
met  on  March 11, 1991, with the offering of limited partnership interests
concluding September 30, 1991, with total limited partner contributions  of
$5,590,500.

The Partnership was formed to acquire royalty and net profits 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 farm-out 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.

Revenues

The  Partnership's income from net profits interests decreased  to  $55,795
from $178,421 for the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively,
a  decrease of 69%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of  the
quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

1.  The  average  price  for a barrel of oil received  by  the  Partnership
    decreased  during the quarter ended March 31, 1998 as compared  to  the
    quarter ended March 31, 1997 by 34%, or $7.31 per barrel, resulting  in
    a  decrease  of  approximately  $99,400  in  income  from  net  profits
    interests.  Oil sales represented 78% of total oil and gas sales during
    the  quarter ended March 31, 1998 as compared to 81% during the quarter
    ended March 31, 1997.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    decreased during the same period by 28%, or $.68 per mcf, resulting  in
    a  decrease  of  approximately  $18,800  in  income  from  net  profits
    interests.

    The  total  decrease in income from net profits interests  due  to  the
    change  in prices received from oil and gas production is approximately
    $118,200.  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 1,200 barrels or 9% during  the
    quarter ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the quarter ended March 31,
    1997,  resulting in a decrease of approximately $17,300 in income  from
    net profits interests.

    Gas  production increased approximately 700 mcf or 3% during  the  same
    period, resulting in an increase of approximately $1,300 in income from
    net profits interests.

    The  total net decrease in income from net profits interests due to the
    change in production is approximately $16,000.

3.  Lease   operating  costs  and  production  taxes  were  7%  lower,   or
    approximately $11,500 less during the quarter ended March 31,  1998  as
    compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1997.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses increased to $70,760 from $59,974 for the quarters
ended  March  31,  1998  and 1997, respectively, a decrease  of  18%.   The
increase  is  the result of higher general and administrative  expense  and
depletion expense.

1.  General and administrative costs consists of independent accounting and
    engineering  fees,  computer services, postage,  and  Managing  General
    Partner personnel costs.  General and administrative costs increased 7%
    or  approximately  $1,800 during the quarter ended March  31,  1998  as
    compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1997.

2.  Depletion expense increased to $43,000 for the quarter ended March  31,
    1998  from  $34,000  for the same period in 1997.  This  represents  an
    increase  of 27%.  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 increase in depletion expense between the  comparative
    periods  were  a  decrease in the price of oil used  to  determine  the
    Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1998 as compared to 1997.

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 $76,300  in
the  quarter ended March 31, 1998 as compared to approximately $204,700  in
the quarter ended March 31, 1997.  The primary source of the 1998 cash flow
from operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash  flows provided by investing activities were approximately $45,300  in
the  quarter ended March 31, 1998 as compared to approximately $100,000  in
the  quarter ended March 31, 1997.  The principle source of the  1998  cash
flow from investing activities was the sale of oil and gas properties.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $121,000 in  the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 as compared to approximately $234,100  in  the
quarter ended March 31, 1997.  The only use in financing activities was the
distributions to partners.

Total  distributions during the quarter ended March 31, 1998 were  $121,021
of  which  $110,521 was distributed to the limited partners and $10,500  to
the general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during
the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was $9.88.  Total distributions during the
quarter  ended  March  31,  1997  were  $234,058  of  which  $214,258   was
distributed  to  the limited partners and $19,800 to the general  partners.
The  per  unit  distribution to limited partners during the  quarter  ended
March 31, 1997 was $19.16.

The  sources  for  the  1998 distributions of $121,000  were  oil  and  gas
operations  of approximately $76,300 and the sale of oil and gas properties
of  approximately  $45,300.   The sources for  the  1997  distributions  of
$234,058 were oil and gas operations of approximately $204,700 and the sale
of  oil  and gas properties of approximately $100,000, resulting in  excess
cash for contingencies or subsequent distributions.

Since  inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash  distributions
of  $4,595,050  have  been made to the partners.  As  of  March  31,  1998,
$4,184,437 or $374.25 per limited partner unit has been distributed to  the
limited partners, representing a 75% return of the capital contributed.

As  of March 31, 1998, the Partnership had approximately $50,300 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.
