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

General

Southwest Developmental Drilling Fund 91-A, L.P. was organized as a Delaware
limited partnership on January 7, 1991.  The offering of such limited and
general partner interests began September 17, 1991 as part of a shelf
offering registered under the name Southwest Developmental Drilling Program
1991-92.  Minimum capital requirements for the partnership were met on April
22, 1992, with the offering of limited and general partner interests
concluding April 30, 1992, with total investor partner contributions of
$1,144,500.  The Managing General Partner made a contribution to the capital
of the Partnership at the conclusion of its offering period in an amount
equal to 1% of its net capital contributions.  The Managing General Partner's
contribution was $9,800.  The total capital contributions are $1,154,300.

The Partnership was formed to engage primarily in the business of drilling
developmental and exploratory wells, to produce and market crude oil and
natural gas produced from such properties, to distribute any net proceeds
from operations to the general and investor partners and to the extent
necessary, acquire leases which contain drilling prospects.  Net revenues
will not be reinvested in other revenue producing assets except to the extent
that performance of remedial work is needed to improve a well's producing
capabilities.  The economic life of the Partnership thus depends on the
period over which the Partnership's oil and gas reserves are economically
recoverable.

The Partnership has expended its capital and acquired leasehold interests and
completed drilling operations.  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, increases and decreases in 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.

112%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the quarters ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    increased during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the
    quarter ended September 30, 1995 by 34%, or $5.71 per barrel, resulting
    in an increase of approximately $17,100 in revenues.  Oil sales
    represented 83% of total oil and gas sales during the quarter ended
    September 30, 1996 as compared to 82% during the quarter ended September
    30, 1995.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased
    during the same period by 18%, or $.35 per mcf, resulting in an increase
    of approximately $2,000 in revenues.  

    The total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received from
    oil and gas production is approximately $19,100.  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.

2.  Oil production increased approximately 1,700 barrels or 57% during the
    quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended
    September 30, 1995, resulting in an increase of approximately $38,000 in
    revenues.

    Gas production increased approximately 4,000 mcf or 71% during the same
    period, resulting in an increase of approximately $9,200 in revenues.

    The total increase in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $47,200.  The increase is primarily a result of a
    successful workover.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $61,254 from $68,299 for the quarters
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, a decrease of 10%.  The
decrease is the result of lower lease operating costs and general and
administrative expense, offset by an increase in depletion expense.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 46% lower, or
    approximately $21,000 less during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as
    compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1995.  The decrease is a
    result of workover costs incurred in 1995.

2.  General and administrative costs consist of independent accounting and
    engineering fees, computer services, postage, and Managing General
    Partner personnel costs.    General and administrative costs decreased 1%
    or approximately $40 during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as
    compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1995.

3.  Depletion expense increased to $32,000 for the quarter ended September
    30, 1996 from $18,000 for the same period in 1995.  This represents an
    increase of 78%.  Depletion is calculated using the gross revenue method
    of amortization based on a percentage of current period gross revenues to
    total future gross oil and gas revenues, as estimated by the
    Partnership's independent petroleum consultants.  Consequently, depletion
    will generally fluctuate in direct relation to oil and gas revenues.  As
    noted above, oil and gas revenues increased due to an increase in price
    and production for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
    the same period for 1995.  Depletion reflected a comparable increase.

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased to $363,492 from $207,845
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an
increase of 75%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    increased during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
    the nine months ended September 30, 1995 by 18%, or $3.19 per barrel,
    resulting in an increase of approximately $31,900 in revenues.  Oil sales
    represented 82% of total oil and gas sales during the nine months ended
    September 30, 1996 as compared to 85% during the nine months ended

    oil and gas production is approximately $39,900.  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 increased approximately 4,300 barrels or 43% during the
    nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended
    September 30, 1995, resulting in an increase of approximately $89,900 in
    revenues.

    Gas production increased approximately 11,000 mcf or 64% during the same
    period, resulting in an increase of approximately $25,400 in revenues.

    The total increase in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $115,300.  The increase is primarily a result of a
    successful workover.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses increased to $242,229 from $182,367 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase of 33%. 
The increase is the result of higher lease operating costs and depletion
expense, offset by a decrease in general and administrative expense.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 30% higher, or
    approximately $30,100 more during the nine months ended September 30,
    1996 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The
    increase is a result of workover costs incurred in 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 2%
    or approximately $200 during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as
    compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

3.  Depletion expense increased to $91,000 for the nine months ended
    September 30, 1996 from $61,000 for the same period in 1995.  This
    represents an increase of 49%.  Depletion is calculated using the gross
    revenue method of amortization based on a percentage of current period
    gross revenues to total future gross oil and gas revenues, as estimated
    by the Partnership's independent petroleum consultants.  Consequently,
    depletion will generally fluctuate in direct relation to oil and gas
    revenues.  As noted above, oil and gas revenues increased due to an
    increase in price and production for the nine months ended September 30,
    1996 as compared to the same period for 1995.  Depletion reflected a
    comparable increase.

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 $185,800 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to approximately
$112,500 in the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The primary source of
the 1996 cash flow from operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $200 in the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to approximately $2,700 in the
nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The principle use of the 1996 cash
flow from investing activities was the additions to oil and gas properties.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $175,100 in the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to approximately $95,900 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The only use in financing
activities was the distributions to partners.

Total distributions during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were
$175,000 of which $155,750 was distributed to the investor partners and
$19,250 to the general partners.  The per unit distribution to investor
partners during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $136.09.  Total
distributions during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 were $96,000 of
which $85,440 was distributed to the investor partners and $10,560 to the
general partners.  The per unit distribution to investor partners during the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 was $74.65.  

The source for the 1996 distributions of $175,000 was oil and gas operations
of approximately $185,800, offset by additions to oil and gas properties of
approximately $200, resulting in excess cash for contingencies or subsequent
distributions.  The sources for the 1995 distributions of $96,000 were oil
and gas operations of approximately $112,500 and the sale of oil and gas
properties of approximately $1,700, offset by additions to oil and gas
properties of approximately $4,300, resulting in excess cash for
contingencies or subsequent distributions.

Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$719,240 have been made to the partners.  As of September 30, 1996, $642,035
or $560.97 per investor partner unit has been distributed to the investor
partners, representing a 56% return of the capital contributed.

As of September 30, 1996, the Partnership had approximately $123,400 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.
