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

General

Southwest Developmental Drilling Fund 92-A, L.P. (the Partnership) was
organized as a Delaware limited partnership on May 5, 1992.  The offering of
limited and general partner interests began August 11, 1992 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 December 28, 1992, with the offering of limited and general partner
interests concluding December 31, 1992, with total investor partner
contributions of $1,407,000, representing 1,407 interests ($1,000 per
interest).  The Managing General Partner made a contribution to the capital
of the Partnership at the conclusion of the offering period in an amount
equal to 1% of its net capital contributions.  The Managing General Partner
contribution was $12,030, for total capital contributions of $1,419,030.

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 limited 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 the Partnership could
possibly experience a normal decline of 5% to 7% a year.  There are no
current plans to perform any workovers in the future.

Revenues

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $90,067 from $111,861 for
the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of 19%. 
The principal factors affecting the comparison of the quarters ended June 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 June 30, 1997 as compared to the
    quarter ended June 30, 1996 by 8%, or $1.80 per barrel, resulting in a
    decrease of approximately $7,000 in revenues.  Oil sales represented 72%
    of total oil and gas sales during the quarter ended June 30, 1997 as
    compared to 75% during the quarter ended June 30, 1996.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased
    during the same period by 3%, or $.08 per mcf, resulting in an increase
    of approximately $800 in revenues.  

    The net total decrease in revenues due to the change in prices received
    from oil and gas production is approximately $6,200.  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 600 barrels or 15% during the
    quarter ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the quarter ended June 30,
    1996, resulting in a decrease of approximately $11,900 in revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 1,300 mcf or 13% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $3,800 in revenues.

    The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $15,700.  The decline in production is primarily
    attributable to the expected sharp decline following a successful
    workover and downtime due to mechanical problems.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $50,420 from $70,733 for the quarters
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of 29%.  The decrease
is primarily the result of lower lease operating costs, general and
administrative expense and depletion expense.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 27% lower, or
    approximately $11,100 less during the quarter ended June 30, 1997 as
    compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  The decline is primarily
    attributable to workover cost 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 4%
    or approximately $200 during the quarter ended June 30, 1997 as compared
    to the quarter ended June 30, 1996.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $14,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
    1997 from $23,000 for the same period in 1996.  This represents a
    decrease of 39%.  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
    decline in oil and gas revenues and the increase in the price of oil used
    to determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1997 as compared
    to 1996.

Revenues

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $179,186 from $219,746
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of
18%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the six months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    increased during the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the
    six months ended June 30, 1996 by 6%, or $1.22 per barrel, resulting in
    an increase of approximately $10,000 in revenues.  Oil sales represented
    78% of the total oil and gas sales during the six months ended June 30,
    1997 as compared to 75% during the six months ended June 30, 1996.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership decreased
    during the same period by 13%, or $.35 per mcf, resulting in a decrease
    of approximately $6,800 in revenues.  

    The net total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received
    from oil and gas production is approximately $3,200.  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 1,700 barrels or 21% during the
    six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the six months ended June
    30, 1996, resulting in a decrease of approximately $36,600 in revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 3,300 mcf or 17% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $8,100 in revenues.

    The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $44,700.  The decline in production is primarily
    attributable to the expected sharp decline following a successful
    workover and downtime due to mechanical problems.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $112,195 from $144,265 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of 22%.  The
decrease is primarily the result of a decline in lease operating costs,
depletion expense and general and administrative expense.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 19% lower, or
    approximately $15,600 less during the six months ended June 30, 1997 as
    compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The decline is primarily
    attributable to workover cost 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 4%
    or approximately $500 during the six months ended June 30, 1997 as
    compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $29,000 for the six months ended June 30,
    1997 from $45,000 for the same period in 1996.  This represents a
    decrease of 36%.  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
    decline in oil and gas revenues and 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 $114,200 in
the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to approximately $129,400 in
the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The primary source of the 1997 cash flow
from operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash flows used in financing activities were $125,500 in the six months ended
June 30, 1997 as compared to $120,500 in the six months ended June 30, 1996. 
The only use in financing activities was the distributions to partners.

Total distributions during the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $125,500
of which $111,695 was distributed to the investor partners and $13,805 to the
Managing General Partner.  The per unit distribution to investor partners
during the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $79.39.  Total distributions
during the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $120,500 of which $107,245 was
distributed to the investor partners and $13,255 to the Managing General
Partner.  The per unit distribution to investor partners during the six
months ended June 30, 1996 was $76.22.  

The source for the 1997 distributions of $125,500 was oil and gas operations
of approximately $114,200, with the balance from available cash on hand at
the beginning of the period.  The source for the 1996 distributions of
$120,500 was oil and gas operations of approximately $129,400, resulting in
excess cash for contingencies or subsequent distributions.

Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$895,715 have been made to the partners.  As of June 30, 1997, $797,562 or
$566.85 per investor partner unit has been distributed to the investor
partners, representing a 57% return of the capital contributed.

As of June 30, 1997, the Partnership had approximately $46,400 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.
