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.

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 increased to $91,575 from $84,537 for
the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, an increase of 8%. 
The principal factors affecting the comparison of the quarters ended March
31, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    increased during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the
    quarter ended March 31, 1996 by 22%, or $4.11 per barrel, resulting in an
    increase of approximately $15,600 in revenues.  Oil sales represented 86%
    of total oil and gas sales during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as
    compared to 85% during the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership decreased
    during the same period by 4%, or $.09 per mcf, resulting in a decrease of
    approximately $500 in revenues.  

    The net total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received
    from oil and gas production is approximately $15,100.  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 decreased approximately 400 barrels or 11% during the
    quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the quarter ended March 31,
    1996, resulting in a decrease of approximately $9,200 in revenues.

    Gas production increased approximately 400 mcf or 7% during the same
    period, resulting in an increase of approximately $800 in revenues.

    The net total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $8,400.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $42,959 from $107,462 for the quarters
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of 60%.  The decrease
is the result of lower lease operating costs and depletion expense, partially
offset by an increase in general and administrative expense.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 72% lower, or
    approximately $54,500 less during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as
    compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1996.  The decrease is primarily
    attributable to workover costs incurred on one lease during the first
    quarter of 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 increased
    less than 1% or approximately $10 during the quarter ended March 31, 1997
    as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $11,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
    1997 from $21,000 for the same period in 1996.  This represents a
    decrease of 48%.  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 decline of depletion expense between the comparative periods was
    the increase in the price of oil used to determine the Partnership's
    reserves for January 1, 1997 as compared to 1996.

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 $86,600 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to approximately $14,500 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1996.  The primary source of the 1997 cash flow from
operating activities was profitable operations.

There were no cash flows used in investing activities in the quarter ended
March 31, 1997 as compared to approximately $200 in the quarter ended March
31, 1996.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $84,400 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to approximately $42,100 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1996.  The only use in financing activities was the
distributions to partners.

Total distributions during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 were $84,500 of
which $75,205 was distributed to the investor partners and $9,295 to the
Managing General Partner.  The per unit distribution to investor partners
during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was $65.71.  Total distributions
during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 were $42,000 of which $37,380 was
distributed to the investor partners and $4,620 to the Managing General
Partner.  The per unit distribution to investor partners during the quarter
ended March 31, 1996 was $32.66.  

The source for the 1997 distributions of $84,500 was oil and gas operations
of approximately $86,600, resulting in excess cash for contingencies or
subsequent distributions.  The source for the 1996 distributions of $42,000
was oil and gas operations of approximately $14,500, offset by the additions
to oil and gas properties of approximately $200, with the balance from
available cash on hand at the beginning of the period.

Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$881,740 have been made to the partners.  As of March 31, 1997, $786,660 or
$687.34 per investor partner unit has been distributed to the investor
partners, representing a 69% return of the capital contributed.

As of March 31, 1997, the Partnership had approximately $111,300 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.
