Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 1999 compared with six months ended
   June 30, 1998

Revenues:

The Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  decreased 17% to $435,655 from $525,141
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  The decrease in
revenues  resulted  from  lower  average  prices  received  and  a  decrease  in
production.  For the six months  ended  June 30,  1999,  21,588  barrels of oil,
10,021 barrels of natural gas liquids  ("NGLs") and 49,899 mcf of gas were sold,

                                        7

or 39,926 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs").  For the six months ended June 30,
1998,  26,017 barrels of oil,  10,006 barrels of NGLs and 56,185 mcf of gas were
sold, or 45,387 BOEs.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  decreased 3% from $13.90 for the
six months  ended June 30,  1998 to $13.55  for the same  period  ended June 30,
1999.  The average  price  received  per barrel of NGLs  decreased 3% from $7.20
during the six months  ended June 30, 1998 to $6.98 for the same period in 1999.
The average  price  received per mcf of gas  decreased 10% from $1.63 during the
six months  ended June 30, 1998 to $1.47 in 1999.  The market  price for oil and
gas has been extremely  volatile in the past decade,  and  management  expects a
certain  amount  of  volatility  to  continue  in the  foreseeable  future.  The
Partnership  may  therefore  sell its future oil and gas  production  at average
prices lower or higher than that  received  during the six months ended June 30,
1999.

The volatility of commodity prices has had, and continues to have, a significant
impact on the Partnership's revenues and operating cash flow and could result in
additional  decreases to the  carrying  value of the  Partnership's  oil and gas
properties.

A gain on  disposition  of assets of $1,096 was  received  during the six months
ended June 30, 1999 from the disposal of oil and gas equipment on fully depleted
wells.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $408,427 for the six months ended June 30,
1999 as compared to $427,306 for the same period in 1998, a decrease of $18,879,
or 4%. This  decrease  was due to declines in  production  costs and  depletion,
offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production  costs  were  $245,642  for the six months  ended  June 30,  1999 and
$270,636  for the same period in 1998  resulting in a $24,994  decrease,  or 9%.
This decrease resulted from declines in well maintenance costs, production taxes
and workover costs.

G&A's  components are independent  accounting and engineering  fees and managing
general  partner  personnel  and  operating  costs.   During  this  period,  G&A
increased, in aggregate, 62% from $17,857 for the six months ended June 30, 1998
to $28,880 for the same period in 1999.

Depletion  was  $133,905  for the six months  ended June 30,  1999  compared  to
$138,813 for the same period in 1998, a decrease of $4,908, or 4%. This decrease
was due to a reduction  in oil  production  of 4,429  barrels for the six months
ended June 30, 1999  compared to the same period in 1998 and a reduction  in the
Partnership's  net  depletable  basis  from  charges  taken in  accordance  with
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  121,  "Accounting  for the
Impairment of  Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed Of"
("SFAS 121") during the fourth quarter of 1998.

Three months ended June 30, 1999 compared with three months ended
   June 30, 1998

Revenues:

The  Partnership's  oil and gas  revenues  decreased  slightly to $252,835  from
$257,804 for the three months  ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  The
decrease in revenues  resulted from a decrease in  production,  offset by higher
average  prices  received.  For the three  months  ended June 30,  1999,  10,689
barrels of oil, 5,598 barrels of NGLs and 25,314 mcf of gas were sold, or 20,506
BOEs.  For the three months ended June 30, 1998,  13,255  barrels of oil,  5,319
barrels of NGLs and 29,304 mcf of gas were sold, or 23,458 BOEs.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  increased  $2.49,  or 19%,  from
$12.98  during  the three  months  ended  June 30,  1998 to $15.47 in 1999.  The
average price  received per barrel of NGLs increased  $1.02,  or 14%, from $7.17
during  the three  months  ended June 30,  1998 to $8.19 for the same  period in
1999.  The average price  received per mcf of gas increased  slightly from $1.63
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $1.65 for the same period in 1999.

A gain on disposition  of assets of $1,096 was received  during the three months
ended June 30, 1999 from the disposal of oil and gas equipment on fully depleted
wells.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and  expenses  decreased to $189,838 for the three months ended June
30,  1999 as compared  to  $222,966  for the same period in 1998,  a decrease of
$33,128,  or 15%. This decline was due to a decrease in depletion and production
costs, offset by an increase in G&A.

Production  costs were  $123,097  for the three  months  ended June 30, 1999 and
$141,346 for the same period in 1998 resulting in an $18,249  decrease,  or 13%.
This decrease was due to declines in well maintenance costs and workover costs.

During this period,  G&A  increased  from $8,794 for the three months ended June
30, 1998 to $21,337 for the same period in 1999.

Depletion  was $45,404  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1999  compared to
$72,826  for the same  period in 1998,  a  decrease  of  $27,422,  or 38%.  This
decrease was primarily  attributable  to a reduction in oil  production of 2,566
barrels for the three months ended June 30, 1999  compared to the same period in
1998, an increase in proved  reserves during the period ended June 30, 1999 as a
result of higher  commodity  prices and a  reduction  in the  Partnership's  net
depletable  basis  from  charges  taken in  accordance  with SFAS 121 during the
fourth quarter of 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash  provided by operating  activities  decreased  $144,177  during the six
months  ended  June 30,  1999 from the same  period  ended June 30,  1998.  This
decrease was the result of declines in oil and gas sales  receipts,  offset by a
decrease in production costs paid.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The  Partnership's  principal  investing  activities during the six months ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998 included expenditures related to equipment replacement on
various oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from asset  dispositions  of $1,096 were received during the six months
ended June 30, 1999 from the disposal of oil and gas equipment on fully depleted
wells.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Cash  was   sufficient  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1999  to  cover
distributions to the partners of $121,170 of which $1,212 was distributed to the
managing  general  partner and  $119,958 to the limited  partners.  For the same
period  ended  June 30,  1998,  cash was  sufficient  for  distributions  to the
partners of $299,392 of which $2,993 was  distributed  to the  managing  general
partner and $296,399 to the limited partners.

From the third  quarter of 1997 through the first  quarter of 1999,  there was a
declining  trend in oil and gas levels.  During the first  quarter of 1999,  the
Organization  of  Petroleum  Exporting  Countries  and  certain  other crude oil
exporting  nations announced  reductions in their planned export volumes.  These
announcements,  together with early  indications that the nations have initiated
their planned  reductions,  have had some stabilizing effect on commodity prices
during  the  latter  part of the first  quarter  of 1999 and into  August  1999.
However,  no  assurances  can be given  that  the  stabilizing  effect  of these
actions,  or the planned reductions in export volumes,  will be sustained for an
extended period of time.

Year 2000 Project Readiness

Historically,  many computer programs have been developed that use only the last
two digits in a date to refer to a year.  As the year 2000 nears,  the inability
of such  computer  programs and embedded  technologies  to  distinguish  between
"1900" and "2000" has given rise to the "Year 2000" problem. Theoretically, such
computer  programs and related  technology  could fail outright,  or communicate
inaccurate  data,  if not  remediated  or replaced.  With the  proliferation  of
electronic  data  interchange,  the Year 2000 problem  represents a  significant
exposure to the entire  global  community,  the full  extent of which  cannot be
accurately assessed.

In proactive  response to the Year 2000 problem,  the managing  general  partner
established  a "Year  2000"  project to  assess,  to the  extent  possible,  the
Partnership's and the managing general partner's internal Year 2000 problem;  to
take remedial  actions  necessary to minimize the Year 2000 risk exposure to the
managing  general partner  and significant  third parties  with whom it has data

                                       10

<PAGE>



interchange;  and, to test its systems and processes once remedial  actions have
been taken. The managing general partner has contracted with IBM Global Services
to perform the assessment and remedial phases of its Year 2000 project.

As of June 30, 1999, the managing general partner  estimates that the assessment
phase is approximately 99% complete and has included, but is not limited to, the
following procedures:

o      the identification of  necessary remediation,  upgrade and/or replacement
       of existing information technology applications and systems;

o      the  assessment  of   non-information   technology  exposures,   such  as
       telecommunications  systems,  security  systems,  elevators  and  process
       control equipment;

o      the  initiation  of inquiry and  dialogue  with  significant  third party
       business partners, customers and suppliers in an effort to understand and
       assess their Year 2000  problems,  readiness and potential  impact on the
       managing general partner and its Year 2000 problem;

o      the   implementation  of  processes   designed  to  reduce  the  risk  of
       reintroduction  of Year 2000 problems into the managing general partner's
       systems and business processes; and,

o      the formulation of  contingency  plans for  mission-critical  information
       technology systems.

Through June 30, 1999, the managing  general partner had  distributed  Year 2000
problem   inquiries  to  over  500  entities  and  has  received   responses  to
approximately 52% of the inquiries.

The remedial  phase of the managing  general  partner's  Year 2000 project is in
varying  stages of completion as it pertains to the  remediation  of information
technology and non-information technology applications and systems in the United
States, Canada and Argentina.  As of June 30, 1999, the managing general partner
estimates that the remedial phase is approximately 83% complete,  on a worldwide
basis,  subject  to  continuing  evaluations  of the  responses  to third  party
inquiries and to the testing phase results.  The remedial phase has included the
upgrade and/or  replacement of certain  application  and hardware  systems.  The
managing  general  partner has upgraded its Artesia  general  ledger  accounting
systems through  remedial coding and has completed the testing of the system for
Year 2000 compliance.  The remediation of non-information technology is expected
to be  completed  by October  1999.  The managing  general  partner's  Year 2000
remedial  actions  have not delayed  other  information  technology  projects or
upgrades.

The testing  phase of the  managing  general  partner's  Year 2000 project is on
schedule.  The  managing  general  partner  expects to  complete  the testing of
information   technology   systems  by  October   1999.   The   testing  of  the
non-information  technology  remediation is scheduled to be completed by the end
of November 1999.

The managing  general  partner  expects that its total costs related to the Year
2000 problem will approximate $3.6 million, of which approximately $500 thousand
will have been incurred to replace non-compliant information technology systems.
As of June 30, 1999, the managing general  partner's total costs incurred on the
Year 2000 problem were $2.3 million,  of which  approximately $200 thousand were
incurred to replace non-compliant systems.

The risks  associated with the Year 2000 problem are  significant.  A failure to
remedy a critical  Year 2000 problem could have a materially  adverse  affect on
the Partnership's results of operations and financial condition. The most likely
worst case scenario  which may be encountered as a result of a Year 2000 problem
could include  information and non-information  system failures,  the receipt or
transmission of erroneous  data, lost data or a combination of similar  problems
of a magnitude that cannot be accurately assessed at this time.

In the  business  continuity  and  contingency  planning  phase of the  managing
general partner's Year 2000 project, contingency plans were designed to mitigate
the exposures to mission critical  information  technology systems,  such as oil
and gas sales receipts, vendor and royalty cash distributions,  debt compliance,
accounting,  and employee  compensation.  Such contingency  plans anticipate the
extensive utilization of third-party data processing services, personal computer
applications  and the  substitution  of courier  and mail  services  in place of
electronic data interchange.  Given the uncertainties regarding the scope of the
Year 2000 problem and the compliance of significant third parties,  there can be
no  assurance  that  contingency  plans  will  have  anticipated  all Year  2000
scenarios.
