Part I
Item 1. Business
General
Southwest Royalties Institutional Income Fund XI-A, L.P. (the "Partnership"
or "Registrant") was organized as a Delaware limited partnership on May 5,
1992. The offering of limited partnership interests began August 20, 1992,
as part of a shelf offering registered under the name Southwest Royalties
Institutional 1992-93 Income Program, reached minimum capital requirements on
December 10, 1992 and concluded April 30, 1993. The Partnership has no
subsidiaries.
The Partnership has acquired interests in producing oil and gas properties
and produced and marketed the crude oil and natural gas produced from such
properties. In most cases, the Partnership purchased royalty or overriding
royalty interests and working interests in oil and gas properties that were
converted into net profits interests or other nonoperating interests. The
Partnership purchased either all or part of the rights and obligations under
various oil and gas leases.
The principal executive offices of the Partnership are located at 407 N. Big
Spring, Suite 300, Midland, Texas, 79701. The Managing General Partner of
the Partnership, Southwest Royalties, Inc. (the "Managing General Partner")
and its staff of 245 individuals, together with certain independent
consultants used on an "as needed" basis, perform various services on behalf
of the Partnership, including the selection of oil and gas properties and the
marketing of production from such properties. H. H. Wommack, III, a
stockholder, director, President and Treasurer of the Managing General
Partner, is also a general partner. The Partnership has no employees.
Principal Products, Marketing and Distribution
The Partnership has acquired and holds royalty interests and net profit
interests in oil and gas properties located in Alabama, Kansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. All activities of the
Partnership are confined to the continental United States. All oil and gas
produced from these properties is sold to unrelated third parties in the oil
and gas business.
The revenues generated from the Partnership's oil and gas activities are
dependent upon the current market for oil and gas. The prices received by
the Partnership for its oil and gas production depend upon numerous factors
beyond the Partnership's control, including competition, economic, political
and regulatory developments and competitive energy sources, and make it
particularly difficult to estimate future prices of oil and natural gas.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
The recent strength in the price of crude oil reflects a continued growth in
demand for energy. The worldwide demand for oil continues to grow. The
United States dependence on foreign oil reached a record 51% in 1996. The
supply of oil is not keeping up with the demand on either a domestic or
worldwide economic basis. Oil production in the United States fell for the
fifth straight year, dropping 1.8% to 6.45 million barrels per day in 1996.
At the same time, economic recovery in the world economy continues to apply
upward pressure on demand. Current oil consumption of over 70 million
barrels per day is growing on an annual basis. This is especially acute in
the lesser developed countries as they move toward industrialization. Supply
and demand for oil has moved very close to being in balance. The lack of
excess capacity in the oil markets has helped push oil prices into the mid-
20's during 1996.
For the last several years, the natural gas industry in the United States has
been affected generally by a surplus in available natural gas and enhanced
delivery capability causing a general deterioration in natural gas prices.
In 1996, natural gas prices recovered significantly after having been
adversely affected for many years by the chronic oversupply. A colder than
normal 1995 and 1996 winter for most of the nation and a cold start for the
1996 and 1997 heating season has increased demand, while supplies have
declined creating a guarded optimism within the industry in regards to the
1997 gas price. January 1997's gas price is the highest the industry has
seen since deregulation in 1985.
Following is a table of the ratios of revenues received from oil and gas
production for the last three years:
Oil Gas
1996 48% 52%
1995 47% 53%
1994 55% 45%
As the table indicates, the Partnership's revenue is almost evenly divided
between its oil and gas production, the Partnership revenues will be highly
dependent upon the future prices and demands for oil and gas.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Seasonality of Business
Although the demand for natural gas is highly seasonal, with higher demand in
the colder winter months and in very hot summer months, the Partnership has
been able to sell all of its natural gas, either through contracts in place
or on the spot market at the then prevailing spot market price. As a result,
the volumes sold by the Partnership have not fluctuated materially with the
change of season.
Customer Dependence
No material portion of the Partnership's business is dependent on a single
purchaser, or a very few purchasers, where the loss of one would have a
material adverse impact on the Partnership. Three purchasers accounted for
47% of the Partnership's total oil and gas production during 1996: American
Processing 20%, Navajo Refining Company, Inc. 14% and Torch Operating Company
13%. Three purchasers accounted for 50% of the Partnership's total oil and
gas production during 1995: American Processing, Navajo Refining Company and
Nustar Joint Venture purchased 20%, 15% and 15%, respectively. Two
purchasers accounted for 44% of the Partnership's total oil and gas
production during 1994: Scurlock Permian Corporation and Nustar Joint
Venture purchased 28% and 16%, respectively.
All purchasers of the Partnership's oil and gas production are unrelated
third parties. In the event any of these purchasers were to discontinue
purchasing the Partnership's production, the Managing General Partner
believes that a substitute purchaser or purchasers could be located without
undue delay. No other purchaser accounted for an amount equal to or greater
than 10% of the Partnership's sales of oil and gas production.
Competition
Because the Partnership has utilized all of its funds available for the
acquisition of net profits or royalty interests in producing oil and gas
properties, it is not subject to competition from other oil and gas property
purchasers. See Item 2, Properties
Factors that may adversely affect the Partnership include delays in
completing arrangements for the sale of production, availability of a market
for production, rising operating costs of producing oil and gas and complying
with applicable water and air pollution control statutes, increasing costs
and difficulties of transportation, and marketing of competitive fuels.
Moreover, domestic oil and gas must compete with imported oil and gas and
with coal, atomic energy, hydroelectric power and other forms of energy.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Regulation
Oil and Gas Production - The production and sale of oil and gas is subject to
federal and state governmental regulation in several respects, such as
existing price controls on natural gas and possible price controls on crude
oil, regulation of oil and gas production by state and local governmental
agencies, pollution and environmental controls and various other direct and
indirect regulation. Many jurisdictions have periodically imposed
limitations on oil and gas production by restricting the rate of flow for oil
and gas wells below their actual capacity to produce and by imposing acreage
limitations for the drilling of wells. The federal government has the power
to permit increases in the amount of oil imported from other countries and to
impose pollution control measures.
Various aspects of the Partnership's oil and gas activities will be regulated
by administrative agencies under statutory provisions of the states where
such activities are conducted and by certain agencies of the federal
government for operations on Federal leases.
Moreover, certain prices at which the Partnership may sell its natural gas
production are controlled by the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978, the Natural
Gas Wellhead Decontrol Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated by the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
Environmental - The Partnership's oil and gas activities will be subject to
extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the
generation, storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of
materials into the environment. Governmental authorities have the power to
enforce compliance with their regulations, and violations carry substantial
penalties. This regulatory burden on the oil and gas industry increases its
cost of doing business and consequently affects its profitability. The
Managing General Partner is unable to predict what, if any, effect compliance
will have on the Partnership.
Industry Regulations and Guidelines - Industry regulations and guidelines
apply to the registration, qualification and operation of oil and gas
programs in the form of limited partnerships. The Partnership is subject to
these guidelines which regulate and restrict transactions between the
Managing General Partner and the Partnership. The Partnership complies with
these guidelines and the Managing General Partner does not anticipate that
continued compliance will have a material adverse effect on Partnership
operations.
Partnership Employees
The Partnership has no employees; however, the Managing General Partner has
a staff of geologists, engineers, accountants, landmen and clerical staff who
engage in Partnership activities and operations and perform additional
services for the Partnership as needed. In addition to the Managing General
Partner's staff, the Partnership engages independent consultants such as
petroleum engineers and geologists as needed. As of December 31, 1996, there
were 245 individuals directly employed by the Managing General Partner in
various capacities.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Item 2. Properties
In determining whether an interest in a particular producing property was to
be acquired, the Managing General Partner considered such criteria as
estimated oil and gas reserves, estimated cash flow from the sale of
production, present and future prices of oil and gas, the extent of
undeveloped and unproved reserves, the potential for secondary, tertiary and
other enhanced recovery projects and the availability of markets.
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership possessed an interest in oil and gas
properties located in Escambia, Fayette and Lamar Counties of Alabama;
Labette and Neosho Counties of Kansas; Cameron, Jefferson, La Fourche, Pointe
Coupe and Terrebonne Parishes of Louisiana; Chickasaw, Lowndes and Monroe
Counties of Mississippi; Eddy and Lea Counties of New Mexico; Custer, Roger
Mills and Washita Counties of Oklahoma; and Borden, Crockett, Dewitt,
Dickens, Ector, Fayette, Gaines, Hemphill, Howard, Live Oak, Nueces, Reagan,
Reeves, Upton, Ward, Winkler, and Yoakum Counties of Texas. These properties
consist of various interests in 263 wells and units.
Due to the Partnership's objective of maintaining current operations without
engaging in the drilling of any developmental or exploratory wells, or
additional acquisitions of producing properties, there have not been any
significant changes in properties during 1996.
During 1995, the Partnership acquired the Kaiser State 44 acquisition,
located in Lea County, New Mexico, for approximately $90,000. The
acquisition was effective as of June 1, 1995 and was purchased from an
unrelated third party, Elkhorn Oil and Gas, LLC.
The Partnership acquired the Webb Lease acquisition, located in Yoakum
County, Texas, for approximately $147,300. The acquisition was effective as
of May 1, 1994 and was purchased from a third party, McClure Oil Company.
Also, effective May 1, 1994, the Partnership acquired the Midland Southwest
Properties for approximately $165,000. The leases are located in
Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas. The acquisition was
purchased from the Partnership's Managing General Partner, Southwest
Royalties, Inc. The Halbouty Property acquisition was purchased, effective
August 1, 1994, for approximately $102,600. The acquisition was acquired
from Alltex Exploration, Inc., a third party. The acquisition is located in
the West Hackberry Field, Cameron Parish, Louisiana.
Effective September 1, 1994 the Hartmann-Centerfire-Shelley acquisition was
purchased for $147,500. The acquisition was acquired from Terrell Shelley,
Stephen F. Hartmann and Centerfire Resources, all are third parties. The
Elizabeth Windham #2 was acquired effective October 1, 1994. The acquisition
was purchased from the Partnership's Managing General Partner, Southwest
Royalties, Inc., for $500,000. The Pitzer-Worsham properties were purchased,
effective September 1, 1994, for approximately $143,000. The properties were
acquired from several different individuals and are located in Ward and
Reeves counties of Texas.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
The Custer and Wright acquisition was purchased, effective November 1, 1994,
for approximately $870,000. The acquisition was acquired from several
different individuals and is located in Winkler County of Texas. The Tar
Baby Lease was acquired, effective October 1, 1994, for approximately
$131,000 from a third party. The lease is in Howard County of Texas.
In compliance with the Partnership Agreement, if the Partnership should
purchase a producing property from the Managing General Partner, such
purchase price would be prior cost, adjusted for any intervening operations.
If such adjusted cost was greater than fair market value, or if specific cost
was unable to be determined, such purchase price would be fair market value
as determined by an independent reservoir engineer.
Upon a determination by Management that they were either not profitable to
own or Management received an offer that exceeded the leases reserves, the
following leases were sold.
During 1996, four leases were sold for approximately $6,200. The Epps and
Holmon were sold effective March 1996, Conner was sold effective April 1996
and Haun was sold effective July 1996.
During 1995, six leases were sold for approximately $136,000. The State of
Texas EY was sold effective January 1995, the Leverton, Sealy Unit and Foster
E were sold effective April 1995, the Caviness Paine 4 was sold effective
November 1995 and the Gilliland was sold effective July 1995.
During 1994, two leases were sold for approximately $3,000. The Roda and
Roda A were sold effective November 1994.

*The reserve estimates were prepared as of January 1, 1997, by Donald R.
Creamer, P.E., an independent registered petroleum engineer. The reserve
estimates were made in accordance with guidelines established by the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-
X. Such guidelines require oil and gas reserve reports be prepared under
existing economic and operation conditions, price and costs, as of the date
the estimation is made. Prices may include consideration of changes in
existing price provided only by contractual arrangements, but not on
escalations based upon future conditions.
An oil price of $23.76 per barrel was used in the preparation of the reserve
report as of January 1, 1997. The West Texas Intermediate posted price at
December 31, 1996 of $24.25 was used as the beginning basis for the oil
price. Oil price adjustments from $24.25 per barrel were made in the
individual evaluations to allow for the average difference between recent
prices actually received (current prices) and the West Texas Intermediate
posted price on the sales date. This effectively adjusts for temperature,
gravity, transportation and impurities on an individual property basis to
arrive at a fair value for the selling price.
A gas price of $3.57 per mcf was used in the preparation of the reserve
report as of January 1, 1997. The El Paso Permian Basin Index posted price
at December 31, 1996 of $3.59 was used as the beginning basis for the gas
price. Gas price adjustments from $3.59 per mcf were made in the individual
evaluations to allow for the average difference between recent prices
actually received (current prices) and the El Paso Permian Basin Index posted
price on the sales date. This effectively adjusts for temperature, gravity,
transportation and impurities on an individual property basis to arrive at a
fair value for the selling price.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
As also discussed in Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, oil and gas prices were
subject to frequent changes in 1996.
The evaluation of oil and gas properties is not an exact science and
inevitably involves a significant degree of uncertainty, particularly with
respect to the quantity of oil or gas that any given property is capable of
producing. Estimates of oil and gas reserves are based on available
geological and engineering data, the extent and quality of which may vary in
each case and, in certain instances, may prove to be inaccurate.
Consequently, properties may be depleted more rapidly than the geological and
engineering data have indicated. Unanticipated depletion, if it occurs, will
result in lower reserves than previously estimated; thus an ultimately lower
return for the Partnership. Basic changes in past reserve estimates occur
annually. As new data is gathered during the subsequent year, the engineer
must revise his earlier estimates. A year of new information, which is
pertinent to the estimation of future recoverable volumes, is available
during the subsequent year evaluation. In applying industry standards and
procedures, the new data may cause the previous estimates to be revised.
This revision may increase or decrease the earlier estimated volumes.
Pertinent information gathered during the year may include actual production
and decline rates, production from offset wells drilled to the same geologic
formation, increased or decreased water production, workovers, and changes in
lifting costs, among others. Accordingly, reserve estimates are often
different from the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered.
The Partnership has reserves which are classified as proved developed
producing, proved developed non-producing and proved undeveloped. All of the
proved reserves are included in the engineering reports which evaluate the
Partnership's present reserves.
Because the Partnership does not engage in drilling activities, the
development of proved undeveloped reserves is conducted pursuant to farmout
arrangements with the Managing General Partner or unrelated third parties.
Generally, the Partnership retains a carried interest such as an overriding
royalty interest under the terms of a farmout, or receives cash.
The Partnership or the owners of properties in which the Partnership owns an
interest can engage in workover projects or supplementary recovery projects,
for example, to extract behind the pipe reserves which qualify as proved
developed non-producing reserves. See Part II, Item 7, Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Partnership is
a party.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of 1996 through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

Part II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
Matters
Market Information
Limited partnership interests, or units, in the Partnership were initially
offered and sold for a price of $500. Limited partner units are not traded
on any exchange and there is no public or organized trading market for them.
The Managing General Partner has become aware of certain limited and sporadic
transfers of units between limited partners and third parties, but has no
verifiable information regarding the prices at which such units have been
transferred. Further, a transferee may not become a substitute limited
partner without the consent of the Managing General Partner.
The Managing General Partner has the right, but not the obligation, to
purchase limited partnership units should an investor desire to sell. The
value of the unit is determined by adding the sum of (1) current assets less
liabilities and (2) the present value of the future net revenues attributable
to proved reserves and by discounting the future net revenues at a rate not
in excess of the prime rate charged by NationsBank, N.A. of Midland, Texas
plus one percent (1%), which value shall be further reduced by a risk factor
discount of no more than one-third (1/3) to be determined by the Managing
General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. In 1996, 200 limited
partner units were tendered to and purchased by the Managing General Partner
at an average base price of $232.87 per unit. No units were acquired in 1995
or 1994.
Number of Limited Partner Interest Holders
As of December 31, 1996, there were 213 holders of limited partner units in
the Partnership.
Distributions
Pursuant to Article III, Section 3.05 of the Partnership's Certificate and
Agreement of Limited Partnership "Net Cash Flow" shall be distributed to the
partners on a monthly basis. "Net Cash Flow" is defined as "the cash
generated by the Partnership's investments in producing oil and gas
properties, less (i) General and Administrative Costs, (ii) Direct Costs,
(iii) Operating Costs, and (iv) any reserves necessary to meet current and
anticipated needs of the Partnership, as determined in the sole discretion of
the Managing General Partner."
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
During 1996, twelve monthly distributions were made totaling $454,785, with
$414,535 distributed to the limited partners and $40,250 to the general
partners. For the year ended December 31, 1996, distributions of $76.51 per
limited partner unit were made, based upon 5,418 limited partner units
outstanding. During 1995, twelve monthly distributions were made totaling
$431,831, with $388,931 distributed to the limited partners and $42,900 to
the general partners. For the year ended December 31, 1995, distributions of
$71.78 per limited partner unit were made, based on 5,418 limited partner
units outstanding. During 1994, twelve monthly distributions were made
totaling $56,659, of which all was distributed to the limited partners. For
the year ended December 31, 1994, distributions of $10.46 per limited partner
unit were made, based on 5,418 limited partner units outstanding.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
General
Southwest Royalties Institutional Income Fund XI-A, L.P. was organized as a
Delaware limited partnership on May 5, 1992. The offering of limited
partnership interests began August 20, 1992, as part of a shelf offering
registered under the name Southwest Royalties Institutional 1992-93 Income
Program. Minimum capital requirements for the Partnership were met on
December 10, 1992, and the Offering Period terminated April 30, 1993 with 213
limited partners purchasing 5,418 units for $2,709,000.
The Partnership was formed to acquire non-operating interests in producing
oil and gas properties, to produce and market crude oil and natural gas
produced from such properties and to distribute any net proceeds from
operations to the general and limited partners. Net revenues from producing
oil and gas properties will not be reinvested in other revenue producing
assets except to the extent that producing facilities and wells are reworked
or where methods are employed to improve or enable more efficient recovery of
oil and gas reserves. The economic life of the Partnership will thus depend
on the period over which the Partnership's oil and gas reserves are
economically recoverable.
Increases or decreases in Partnership revenues and, therefore, distributions
to partners will depend primarily on changes in the prices received for
production, changes in volumes of production sold, lease operating expenses,
enhanced recovery projects, offset drilling activities pursuant to farmout
arrangements and on the depletion wells. Since wells deplete over time,
production can generally be expected to decline from year to year.
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 limited
partners has fluctuated over the past few years and is 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; a little less than normal decline in 1997, with no
decline in 1998 and thereafter, experience a steady decline.

an increase of 34%. The principal factors affecting the comparison of the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:
1. The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
increased during the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year
ended December 31, 1995 by 24%, or $4.05 per barrel, resulting in an
increase of approximately $85,100 in income from net profits interests.
Oil sales represented 48% of total oil and gas sales during the year
ended December 31, 1996 as compared to 47% during the year ended December
31, 1995.
The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased
during the same period by 42%, or $.66 per mcf, resulting in an increase
of approximately $168,300 in income from net profits interests.
The total increase in income from net profits interests due to the change
in prices received from oil and gas production is approximately $253,400.
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 1,400 barrels or 7% during the
year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year ended December 31,
1995, resulting in a decrease of approximately $29,300 in income from net
profits interests.
Gas production decreased approximately 52,500 mcf or 21% during the same
period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $116,600 in income from
net profits interests.
The total decrease in income from net profits interests due to the change
in production is approximately $145,900. The decrease is primarily a
result of property sales and surface problems.
3. As of December 31, 1996, miscellaneous income was approximately $77,700.
The income is a result of a purchase agreement, on the Tar Baby lease,
that guarantees the Partnership a net income of approximately $3,400
monthly from October 1994 to January 1998.
4. Lease operating costs and production taxes were 1% lower, or
approximately $4,600 less during the year ended December 31, 1996 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 1995.
Costs and Expenses
Total costs and expenses decreased to $245,788 from $300,514 for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, a decrease of 18%. The
decrease is the result of lower general and administrative expense and
depletion expense.
1. General and administrative costs consists of independent accounting and
engineering fees, computer services, postage, and Managing General
Partner personnel costs. General and administrative costs decreased less
than 1% or approximately $200 during the year ended December 31, 1996 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 1995.
2. Depletion expense decreased to $186,000 for the year ended December 31,
1996 from $240,000 for the same period in 1995. This represents a
decrease of 23%. 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 in depletion expense between the
comparative periods was the increase in the price of oil and gas used to
determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1997 as compared to
1996. Another contributing factor was due to the impact of revisions of
previous estimates on reserves. Revisions of previous estimates can be
attributed to the changes in production performance, oil and gas price
and production costs. The impact of the revision would have decreased
depletion expense approximately $23,000 as of December 31, 1995.

Revenues
The Partnership's income from net profits interests increased to $335,870
from $111,973 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The Partnership did not begin purchasing interests in oil and gas properties
until May 1994, therefore the transactions will be substantially lower in
1994 as compared to 1995. The principal factors affecting the comparison of
the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 are as follows:
1. The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
increased during the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the
year ended December 31, 1994 by 7%, or $1.10 per barrel, resulting in an
increase of approximately $9,500 in income from net profits interests.
Oil sales represented 47% of total oil and gas sales during the year
ended December 31, 1995 as compared to 55% during the year ended
December 31, 1994.
The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership
decreased during the same period by 4%, or $.06 per mcf, resulting in a
decrease of approximately $4,000 in income from net profits interests.
The net increase in income from net profits interests due to the change
in prices received from oil and gas production is approximately $5,500.
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>
<PAGE>
2. Oil production increased approximately 12,200 barrels or 139% during the
year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the year ended December 31,
1994, resulting in an increase of approximately $200,000 in income from
net profits interests.
Gas production increased approximately 184,600 mcf or 262% during the
same period, resulting in an increase of approximately $300,000 in
income from net profits interests.
The total increase in income from net profits interests due to the
change in production is approximately $500,000.
3. Lease operating costs and production taxes increased by approximately
$270,000 during the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the year
ended December 31, 1994. This increase is due to a full year of
production activity in 1995 as compared to a partial year in 1994.
Costs and Expenses
Total costs and expenses increased to $300,514 from $95,699 for the year
ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The increase is the result
of a full year of general and administrative costs and depletion in 1995.
1. General and administrative costs consists of independent accounting and
engineering fees, computer services, postage, and Managing General
Partner personnel costs. General and administrative costs increased
$40,000 during the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the year
ended December 31, 1994.
2. Depletion expense increased to $240,000 for the year ended December 31,
1995 from $75,000 for the same period in 1994. Depletion is calculated
using the units of revenue method of amortization based on a percentage
of current gross revenues to future gross revenues. Consequently,
depletion will fluctuate in direct relation to oil and gas revenues. As
noted above, oil and gas revenues increased due to the purchase of
properties during 1994 and 1995 reflecting a full year of production.

C. Revenue and Distribution Comparison
Partnership net income for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
was $285,720, $42,213 and $65,169, respectively. Excluding the effects of
depreciation, depletion and amortization, net income for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 would have been $481,493, $292,533 and
$150,489, respectively. Correspondingly, Partnership distributions for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $454,785, $431,831 and
$56,659, respectively. These differences are indicative of the changes in
oil and gas prices, production and properties during 1996, 1995 and 1994.
The sources for the 1996 distributions of $454,785 were oil and gas
operations of approximately $379,900, refund of organization cost of
approximately $1,700, excess capital of approximately $48,100 and property
sales of approximately $6,200, with the balance from available cash on hand
at the beginning of the period. The sources for the 1995 distributions of
$431,831 were oil and gas operations of approximately $307,300 and property
sales of approximately $136,000, reduced by additions to oil and gas
properties of approximately $92,300, with the balance from available cash on
hand at the beginning of the period. The sources for the 1994 distributions
of $56,659 were oil and gas operations of approximately $9,400, interest
received on capital contributions of approximately $53,100 and property sales
of approximately $2,800, resulting in excess cash for contingencies or
subsequent distributions.
Total distributions during the year ended December 31, 1996 were $454,785 of
which $414,535 was distributed to the limited partners and $40,250 to the
general partners. The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
same period was $76.51. Total distributions during the year ended December
31, 1995 were $431,831 of which $388,931 was distributed to the limited
partners and $42,900 to the general partners. The per unit distribution to
limited partners during the same period was $71.78. Total distributions
during the year ended 1994 were $56,659 of which all was distributed to the
limited partners. The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
same period was $10.46.
Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$991,492 have been made to the partners. As of December 31, 1996, $908,342
or $167.65 per limited partner unit, has been distributed to the limited
partners, representing a 34% return of the capital contributed.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The primary source of cash is from operations, the receipt of income from net
profits 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 $379,900 in
1996 compared to approximately $307,300 in 1995 and approximately $62,500 in
1994. The primary source of the 1996 cash flow from operating activities was
profitable operations.
Cash flows provided by or (used in) investing activities were approximately
$7,900 in 1996 compared to approximately $43,700 in 1995 and approximately
$(2,200,100) in 1994. The principal sources of the 1996 cash flow from
investing activities were from the sale of oil and gas properties and the
refund of organization costs.
Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $454,800 in 1996
compared to approximately $432,000 in 1995 and approximately $56,500. The
only use in financing activities was the distributions to partners.
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had approximately $182,600 in
working capital. The Managing General Partner knows of no other commitments
and believes the revenues generated from operations will be adequate to meet
the operating needs of the Partnership.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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.
Under the units of revenue method, the Partnership computes the
provision by multiplying the total unamortized cost of oil and gas
properties by an overall rate determined by dividing (a) oil and gas
revenues during the period by (b) the total future gross oil and gas
revenues as estimated by the Partnership's independent petroleum
consultants. It is reasonably possible that those estimates of
anticipated future gross revenues, the remaining estimated economic life
of the product, or both could be changed significantly in the near term
due to the potential fluctuation of oil and gas prices or production.
The depletion estimate would also be affected by this change.
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 December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the
net capitalized costs did not exceed the estimated present value of oil
and gas reserves.
The Partnership's interest in oil and gas properties consists of net
profits interests in proved properties located within the continental
United States. A net profits interest is created when the owner of a
working interest in a property enters into an arrangement providing that
the net profits interest owner will receive a stated percentage of the
net profit from the property. The net profits interest owner will not
otherwise participate in additional costs and expenses of the property.

Notes to Financial Statements
Estimates and Uncertainties
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Organization Costs
Organization costs are stated at cost and are amortized over sixty
months using the straight-line method.
Syndication Costs
Syndication costs are accounted for as a reduction of partnership
equity.
Environmental Costs
The Partnership is subject to extensive federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are constantly
changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and
may require the Partnership to remove or mitigate the environmental
effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances
at various sites. Environmental expenditures are expensed or
capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. Costs which
improve a property as compared with the condition of the property when
originally constructed or acquired and costs which prevent future
environmental contamination are capitalized. Expenditures that relate
to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no
future economic benefits are expensed. Liabilities for expenditures of
a non-capital nature are recorded when environmental assessment and/or
remediation is probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated.
Gas Balancing
The Partnership utilizes the sales method of accounting for gas-
balancing arrangements. Under this method the Partnership recognizes
sales revenue on all gas sold. The Partnership was over produced by
2,974 mcf of gas as of December 31, 1996, was under produced by 727 mcf
as of December 31, 1995 and there were no significant amounts of
imbalance in terms of units and value as of December 31, 1994.

Notes to Financial Statements
Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes is reflected in these financial
statements, since the tax effects of the Partnership's income or loss
are passed through to the individual partners.
In accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," the Partnership's tax
basis in its net oil and gas properties at December 31, 1996 and 1995 is
$3,089 and $31,207 more, respectively, as that shown on the accompanying
Balance Sheets in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Partnership considers
all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. The Partnership maintains its
cash at one financial institution.
Number of Limited Partner Units
As of December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 there were 5,418 limited partner
units outstanding.

2. Organization
Southwest Royalties Institutional Income Fund XI-A, L.P. was organized
under the laws of the state of Delaware on May 5, 1992, for the purpose
of acquiring producing oil and gas properties 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 will sell 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 and H. H. Wommack, III, as the
individual general partner. Partnership profits and losses, as well as
all items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit, will be credited
or charged as follows:

All of the Partnership's properties were proved when acquired.
4. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The Partnership is subject to various federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations which establish standards and
requirements for protection of the environment. The Partnership cannot
predict the future impact of such standards and requirements, which are
subject to change and can have retroactive effectiveness. The
Partnership continues to monitor the status of these laws and
regulations.
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership has not been fined, cited or
notified of any environmental violations and management is not aware of
any unasserted violations which would have a material adverse effect
upon capital expenditures, earnings or the competitive position in the
oil and gas industry. However, the Managing General Partner does
recognize by the very nature of its business, material costs could be
incurred in the near term to bring the Partnership into total
compliance. The amount of such future expenditures is not reliably
determinable due to several factors, including the unknown magnitude of
possible contaminations, the unknown timing and extent of the corrective
actions which may be required, the determination of the Partnership's
liability in proportion to other responsible parties and the extent to
which such expenditures are recoverable from insurance or
indemnifications from prior owners of Partnership's properties.

5. Related Party Transactions
A significant portion of the oil and gas properties in which the
Partnership has an interest are operated by and purchased from the
Managing General Partner. As is usual in the industry and as provided
for in the operating agreement for each respective oil and gas property
in which the Partnership has an interest, the operator is paid an amount
for administrative overhead attributable to operating such properties,
with such amounts to Southwest Royalties, Inc. as operator approximating
$73,000, $65,000 and $9,900 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively. In addition, the Managing General Partner and
certain officers and employees may have an interest in some of the
properties that the Partnership also participates.
Certain subsidiaries of the Managing General Partner perform various
oilfield services for properties in which the Partnership owns an
interest. Such services aggregated approximately $2,400, $3,300 and
$1,500 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively and the Managing General Partner believes that these costs
are comparable to similar charges paid by the Partnership to unrelated
third parties.
Southwest Royalties, Inc., the Managing General Partner, was paid
$42,000 during 1996 and 1995 as an administrative fee for indirect
general and administrative overhead expenses.
Receivables from Southwest Royalties, Inc., the Managing General
Partner, of approximately $118,399 and $74,521 are from oil and gas
production, net of lease operating costs and production taxes, as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
In addition, a director and officer of the Managing General Partner is
a partner in a law firm, with such firm providing legal services to the
Partnership approximating $120 as of December 31, 1996. There were no
legal services provided as of December 31, 1995 and approximately $1,100
as of December 31, 1994.
6. Major Customers and Significant Leases
During 1996, three customers purchased 20%, 14% and 13% of the
Partnership's oil and gas production. During 1995, three customers
purchased 20%, 15% and 15% of the Partnership's oil and gas production.
During 1994, two customers purchased 28% and 16% of the Partnership's
oil and gas production.
During 1996, one lease accounted for 15% of the Partnership's gross
revenue. During 1995, one lease accounted for 19% of the Partnership's
gross revenues.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
In 1996, the Managing General Partners received $42,000 as an administrative
fee. This amount is part of the general and administrative expenses incurred
by the Partnership.
In some instances the Managing General Partner and certain officers and
employees may be working interest owners in an oil and gas property in which
the partnership also has a working interest. Certain properties in which the
Partnership has an interest are operated by the Managing General Partner, who
was paid approximately $73,000 for administrative overhead attributable to
operating such properties during 1996.
Certain subsidiaries of the Managing General Partner perform various oilfield
services for properties in which the Partnership owns an interest. Such
services aggregated approximately $2,400 for the year ended December 31,
1996.
The law firm of Miller & Martin, of which H. Allen Corey, an officer and
director of the Managing General Partner, is a partner, is counsel to the
Partnership. Legal services rendered by Miller & Martin to the Partnership
during 1996 were approximately $120, which constitutes an immaterial portion
of that firm's business. Subsequent to December 31, 1996, the counsel to the
Partnership, H. Allen Corey, became a partner in the law firm Baker,
Donelson, Bearman & Caldwell.
In the opinion of management, the terms of the above transactions are similar
to ones with unaffiliated third parties.
