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:

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     The  interim financial information as of March 31, 2000, and  for  the
     three  months ended March 31, 2000, 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, 1999.

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 a workover
during  1999.  The Partnership should experience a normal decline, for  the
life of the properties.

Oil and Gas Properties

Oil  and  gas  properties  are accounted for at cost  under  the  full-cost
method.  Under this method, all productive and nonproductive costs incurred
in  connection with the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and
gas  reserves  are capitalized.  Gain or loss on the sale of  oil  and  gas
properties  is not recognized unless significant oil and gas  reserves  are
involved.

The  Partnership's policy for depreciation, depletion and  amortization  of
oil  and  gas  properties is computed under the units  of  revenue  method.
Under the units of revenue method, depreciation, depletion and amortization
is  computed  on  the  basis of current gross revenues from  production  in
relation  to future gross revenues, based on current prices, from estimated
production of proved oil and gas reserves.

Should the net capitalized costs exceed the estimated present value of  oil
and gas reserves, discounted at 10%, such excess costs would be charged  to
current  expense.  As of March 31, 2000, the net capitalized costs did  not
exceed the estimated present value of oil and gas reserves.

Revenues

The  Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $36,070  from  $39,171
for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, a decrease of
8%.   The principal factors affecting the comparison of the quarters  ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999 are as follows:

1.  The  average  price  for a barrel of oil received  by  the  Partnership
    increased  during the quarter ended March 31, 2000 as compared  to  the
    quarter  ended March 31, 1999 by 148%, or $16.35 per barrel,  resulting
    in  an  increase  of  approximately $49,100  in  revenues.   Oil  sales
    represented  84%  of total oil and gas sales during the  quarter  ended
    March  31,  2000 as compared to 85% during the quarter ended March  31,
    1999.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    increased during the same period by 99%, or $1.33 per mcf, resulting in
    an increase of approximately $5,900 in revenues.

    The  total  increase in revenues due to the change in  prices  received
    from oil and gas production is approximately $55,000.  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.

<PAGE>
2.  Oil  production decreased approximately 1,900 barrels or 63% during the
    quarter ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the quarter ended March 31,
    1999, resulting in a decrease of approximately $52,100 in revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 2,200 mcf or 50% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $5,900 in revenues.

    The  total  decrease  in revenues due to the change  in  production  is
    approximately $58,000.  The decrease in production is primarily due  to
    the occurrence of payout on the Dagger Draw lease.  Upon occurrence  of
    payout  the  percentage  of  ownership for  the  Partnership  decreased
    significantly.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $27,399 from $28,837 for the quarters
ended  March  31,  2000  and 1999, respectively, a  decrease  of  5%.   The
decrease  is  the  result  of  lower  depletion  expense  and  general  and
administrative expense, partially offset by an increase in lease  operating
costs.

1.  Lease  operating  costs  and  production  taxes  were  11%  higher,  or
    approximately $2,000 more during the quarter ended March  31,  2000  as
    compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

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 9%
    or  approximately  $400  during the quarter ended  March  31,  2000  as
    compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

3.  Depletion  expense decreased to $4,000 for the quarter ended March  31,
    2000  from  $7,000  for  the same period in 1999.   This  represents  a
    decrease  of 43%.  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 decrease of depletion expense between the  comparative
    periods  was  the  increase in the price of oil used to  determine  the
    Partnership's reserves.

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 $16,400  in
the quarter ended March 31, 2000 as compared to approximately $6,300 in the
quarter  ended  March 31, 1999.  The primary source of the 2000  cash  flow
from operating activities was profitable operations.

There  were  no cash flows provided by investing activities in the  quarter
ended  March  31,  2000.  Cash flows used in investing  activities  in  the
quarter ended March 31, 1999 were approximately $800.

Cash  flows used in financing activities were $39,800 in the quarter  ended
March  31, 2000.  There were no cash flows used in financing activities  in
the  quarter  ended  March 31, 1999. The only use in  financing  activities
would be distributions to partners.

Total distributions during the quarter ended March 31, 2000 were $40,000 of
which  $35,600 was distributed to the investor partners and $4,400  to  the
Managing  General Partner.  The per unit distribution to investor  partners
during  the  quarter  ended  March 31, 2000  was  $31.11.   There  were  no
distributions during the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

The  primary source for the 2000 distributions of $40,000 was oil  and  gas
operations  of approximately $16,400, with the balance from available  cash
on hand at the beginning of the period.

Since  inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash  distributions
of  $1,252,740  have  been made to the partners.  As  of  March  31,  2000,
$1,116,850 or $975.84 per investor partner unit has been distributed to the
investor partners, representing a 98% return of the capital contributed.

As  of March 31, 2000, the Partnership had approximately $51,100 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.

Liquidity - Managing General Partner

The  Managing General Partner has a highly leveraged capital structure with
over  $50.1  million principal and $17.5 million interest payments  due  in
2000  on  its  debt  obligations. Due to the severely  depressed  commodity
prices  experienced  during the last quarter of 1997, throughout  1998  and
continuing through the second quarter of 1999 the Managing General  Partner
is  experiencing difficulty in generating sufficient cash flow to meet  its
obligations  and sustain its operations.  The Managing General  Partner  is
currently  in  the  process  of renegotiating  the  terms  of  its  various
obligations  with its creditors and/or attempting to seek  new  lenders  or
equity  investors.   Additionally,  the  Managing  General  Partner   would
consider disposing of certain assets in order to meet its obligations.

There  can  be  no  assurance  that  the Managing  General  Partner's  debt
restructuring efforts will be successful or that the lenders will agree  to
a   course   of  action  consistent  with  the  Managing  General  Partners
requirements  in restructuring the obligations.  Even if such agreement  is
reached,  it  may  require approval of additional  lenders,  which  is  not
assured.  Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the sales  of  assets
can  be  successfully  accomplished on terms  acceptable  to  the  Managing
General   Partner.   Under  current  circumstances,  the  Managing  General
Partner's  ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its  ability
to  (1)  successfully  restructure  its obligations  or  obtain  additional
financing  as  may  be  required, (2) maintain  compliance  with  all  debt
covenants, (3) generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations  on  a
timely  basis, and (4) achieve satisfactory levels of future earnings.   If
the  Managing  General Partner is unsuccessful in its efforts,  it  may  be
unable to meet its obligations making it necessary to undertake such  other
actions as may be appropriate to preserve asset values.
