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.

Based  on  current conditions, management anticipates performing  workovers
during   1997  to  enhance  production.   The  Partnership  could  possibly
experience the following changes;  an increase during 1997 and 1998, with a
decrease in 1999 and thereafter, a normal decline.

Revenues

The  Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $68,128 from  $127,969
for  the  quarters  ended  September 30, 1997  and  1996,  respectively,  a
decrease  of  47%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison  of  the
quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

1.  The  average  price  for a barrel of oil received  by  the  Partnership
    decreased  during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as  compared  to
    the  quarter  ended  September 30, 1996 by 14%, or  $3.19  per  barrel,
    resulting  in  a  decrease of approximately $15,000 in  revenues.   Oil
    sales  represented  84% of total oil and gas sales during  the  quarter
    ended  September 30, 1997 as compared to 83% during the  quarter  ended
    September 30, 1996.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    decreased during the same period by 11%, or $.25 per mcf, resulting  in
    a decrease of approximately $2,400 in revenues.

    The  total  decrease in revenues due to the change in  prices  received
    from oil and gas production is approximately $17,400.  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.

2.   Oil production decreased approximately 1,700 barrels or 36% during the
    quarter  ended  September 30, 1997 as compared  to  the  quarter  ended
    September  30,  1996, resulting in a decrease of approximately  $32,600
    in revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 4,400 mcf or 46% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $9,000 in revenues.

    The  total  decrease  in revenues due to the change  in  production  is
    approximately  $41,600.   The  decline  in  production   is   primarily
    attributable  to  the  expected  sharp natural  decline  in  production
    following a successful workover and downtime.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $39,249 from $66,254 for the quarters
ended  September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of  41%.   The
decrease  is  the  result  of  lower lease  operating  costs,  general  and
administrative expense and depletion expense.

1.    Lease  operating  costs  and  production  taxes  were  4%  lower,  or
   approximately $1,000 less during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as
   compared to the quarter ended September 30, 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
    3%  or approximately $80 during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as
    compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1996.

3.  Depletion  expense decreased to $13,000 for the quarter ended September
    30,  1997 from $37,000 for the same period in 1996.  This represents  a
    decrease  of 65%.  Depletion is calculated using the units  of  revenue
    method  of  amortization based on a percentage of current period  gross
    revenues  to  total future gross oil and gas revenues, as estimated  by
    the  Partnership's  independent  petroleum  consultants.   Contributing
    factors  to  the  decline in depletion expense between the  comparative
    periods  were  the increase in the price of oil used to  determine  the
    Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1997 as compared to 1996 and  the
    decline in gross oil and gas revenues.

Revenues

The  Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $237,246 from $363,492
for  the  nine  months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,  respectively,  a
decrease  of  35%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison  of  the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

1.  The  average  price  for a barrel of oil received  by  the  Partnership
    decreased  during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as  compared
    to  the nine months ended September 30, 1996 by 2%, or $.39 per barrel,
    resulting in a decrease of approximately $5,600 in revenues.  Oil sales
    represented 86% of total oil and gas sales during the nine months ended
    September  30,  1997 as compared to 82% during the  nine  months  ended
    September 30, 1996.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    decreased during the same period by 9%, or $.20 per mcf, resulting in a
    decrease of approximately $5,600 in revenues.

    The  total  decrease in revenues due to the change in  prices  received
    from oil and gas production is approximately $11,200.  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 4,400 barrels or 31% during the
    nine  months  ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the  nine  months
    ended  September  30,  1996, resulting in a decrease  of  approximately
    $90,300 in revenues.

    Gas  production  decreased approximately 11,900 mcf or 42%  during  the
    same  period,  resulting  in  a decrease of  approximately  $25,100  in
    revenues.

    The  total  decrease  in revenues due to the change  in  production  is
    approximately  $115,400.   The  decline  in  production  is   primarily
    attributable  to  the  expected  sharp natural  decline  in  production
    following a successful workover and downtime.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs and expenses decreased to $123,389 from $210,100 for the  nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of  41%.
The  decrease  is  the result of lower lease operating costs,  general  and
administrative expense and depletion expense.

1. Lease operating costs and production taxes were 14% lower, or
   approximately $11,600 less during the nine months ended September 30,
   1997 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  The
   decrease is primarily attributable to workover costs incurred in 1996
   as compared to 1997.

2.  General and administrative costs consist of independent accounting  and
    engineering  fees,  computer services, postage,  and  Managing  General
    Partner personnel costs.  General and administrative costs decreased 2%
    or  approximately $300 during the nine months ended September 30,  1997
    as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

3.  Depletion  expense  decreased to $34,000  for  the  nine  months  ended
    September  30,  1997 from $105,000 for the same period in  1996.   This
    represents a decrease of 68%.  Depletion is calculated using the  units
    of  revenue  method  of amortization based on a percentage  of  current
    period  gross  revenues to total future gross oil and gas revenues,  as
    estimated  by  the  Partnership's  independent  petroleum  consultants.
    Contributing  factors to the decline in depletion expense  between  the
    comparative  periods  were the increase in the price  of  oil  used  to
    determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1997 as compared to
    1996 and the decline in gross oil and gas revenues.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  primary source of cash is from operations, the receipt of income  from
interests in oil and gas properties.  The Partnership knows of no  material
change, nor does it anticipate any such change.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $185,100  in
the  nine  months  ended  September 30, 1997 as compared  to  approximately
$232,000  in the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  The primary  source
of the 1997 cash flow from operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash  flows used in investing activities were approximately $5,800  in  the
nine  months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to approximately  $46,300
in the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  The principle use of the 1997
cash  flow  from  investing  activities was  the  change  in  oil  and  gas
properties.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $239,800 in  the
nine  months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to approximately $175,100
in  the  nine  months ended September 30, 1996.  The only use in  financing
activities was the distributions to partners.

Total  distributions during the nine months ended September 30,  1997  were
$240,000  of  which $213,600 was distributed to the investor  partners  and
$26,400  to  the  Managing General Partner.  The per unit  distribution  to
investor  partners  during the nine months ended  September  30,  1997  was
$186.63.   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 Managing General  Partner.   The  per  unit
distribution  to  investor partners during the nine months ended  September
30, 1996 was $136.09.

The  source  for  the  1997  distributions of  $240,000  was  oil  and  gas
operations of approximately $185,100, partially offset by the change in oil
and gas properties of approximately $5,800, with the balance from available
cash  on  hand  at the beginning of the period.  The source  for  the  1996
distributions  of  $175,000  was oil and gas  operations  of  approximately
$232,000,  partially  offset by the change in oil  and  gas  properties  of
approximately  $46,300,  resulting  in excess  cash  for  contingencies  or
subsequent distributions.

Since  inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash  distributions
of  $1,037,240 have been made to the partners.  As of September  30,  1997,
$925,055 or $808.26 per investor partner unit has been distributed  to  the
investor partners, representing an 81% return of the capital contributed.

As  of  September  30, 1997, the Partnership had approximately  $39,300  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.

                      Notes to Financial Statements


NOTE A - PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT

The  Managing  General Partner, who is a related party, incorrectly  billed
the  Partnership for property costs as workover expense on one lease during
March  1996.   This  error  resulted in the  understatement  of  previously
reported property costs and the overstatement of depletion expense  in  the
prior  year.   The  error  was  corrected  in  this  quarters'  10-Q.   The
correction  resulted  in the following changes to partners'  equity  as  of
December 31, 1996.

                                                                  Managing
