                      Notes to Financial Statements


1.   Organization
     Southwest  Developmental Drilling Fund 91-A, L.P. was organized  under
     the  laws of the state of Delaware on January 7, 1991 for the  purpose
     of  drilling  developmental and exploratory wells 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  a  variety of purchasers with the prices  it  receives
     being  dependent  upon the oil and gas economy.  Southwest  Royalties,
     Inc.  serves  as  the Managing General Partner.  Revenues,  costs  and
     expenses are allocated as follows:

                                                     Managing
                                                     General      Investor

     All other costs*                                11%           89%

     *After the Investor Partners have received distributions totaling 150%
     of  their  capital contributions, the allocation will  change  to  15%
     Managing General Partner and 85% Investor Partners.

     (1)   All  organization  costs in excess  of  4%  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 4% 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.

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.

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 a normal decline,  for
the life of these properties.

A.  General Comparison of the Quarters Ended March 31, 1998 and 1997

The  following  table  provides certain information  regarding  performance
factors for the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997:

Revenues

The  Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $50,233  from  $91,575
for the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, a decrease of
46%.   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 40%, or $9.26 per barrel, resulting  in
    a decrease of approximately $31,500 in revenues.  Oil sales represented
    80%  of total oil and gas sales during the quarter ended March 31, 1998
    as compared to 86% 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 4%, or $.07 per mcf, resulting in a
    decrease of approximately $460 in revenues.

    The  total  decrease in revenues due to the change in  prices  received
    from oil and gas production is approximately $31,960.  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 500 barrels or 15%  during  the
    quarter ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the quarter ended March 31,
    1997, resulting in a decrease of approximately $6,900 in revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 1,300 mcf or 20% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $2,500 in revenues.

    The  total  decrease  in revenues due to the change  in  production  is
    approximately $9,400.  The decrease is attributable to normal decline.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $40,080 from $42,959 for the quarters
ended  March  31,  1998  and 1997, respectively, a  decrease  of  7%.   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  14%  lower,   or
    approximately $2,800 less during the quarter ended March  31,  1998  as
    compared  to  the  quarter  ended March  31,  1997.   The  decrease  is
    primarily  attributable to workover costs incurred on one lease  during
    the first quarter of 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 increased
    11%  or  approximately $900 during the quarter ended March 31, 1998  as
    compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1997.

3.  Depletion expense increased to $12,000 for the quarter ended March  31,
    1998  from  $11,000  for the same period in 1997.  This  represents  an
    increase  of  9%.  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.

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 $28,500  in
the  quarter ended March 31, 1998 as compared to approximately  $86,600  in
the quarter ended March 31, 1997.  The primary source of the 1998 cash flow
from operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash flows used in investing activities in the quarter ended March 31, 1998
were  approximately  $19,000.  There were no cash flow  used  in  investing
activities in the quarter ended March 31, 1997.

Cash  flows used in financing activities were approximately $8,300  in  the
quarter  ended March 31, 1998 as compared to approximately $84,400  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 $8,500  of
which  $7,565  was distributed to the investor partners  and  $935  to  the
Managing  General Partner.  The per unit distribution to investor  partners
during  the  quarter  ended March 31, 1998 was $6.61.  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.

The  primary  source for the 1998 distributions of $8,300 was oil  and  gas
operations of approximately $28,500.  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.

Since  inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash  distributions
of  $1,095,740  have  been made to the partners.  As  of  March  31,  1998,
$977,120 or $853.75 per investor partner unit has been distributed  to  the
investor partners, representing a 86% return of the capital contributed.

As  of March 31, 1998, the Partnership had approximately $15,400 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.
