          Contributions   for   reimbursement  of   such   expenses.    All
          Organization Costs (which excludes sales commissions and fees) in
          excess  of  three  percent  (3%) of  Capital  Contributions  with
          respect to the Partnership will be allocated to and paid  by  the
          Managing General Partner.

          (3)   Administrative  Costs will be paid from  the  Partnership's
          revenues;  however; Administrative Costs in the Partnership  year
          in  excess of two percent (2%) of Capital Contributions shall  be
          allocated to and paid by the Managing General Partner.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     The  interim  financial information as of June 30, 1999, and  for  the
     three  and  six  months  ended June 30, 1999, 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, 1998.

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

General

Southwest Royalties Institutional Income Fund XI-B, L.P. was organized as a
Delaware  limited  partnership on August 31, 1993.  The  offering  of  such
limited  partnership interests began October 25, 1993, 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 8, 1993, with the offering of limited partnership interests
concluding  August  20, 1994, with total limited partner  contributions  of
$2,425,500.

The Partnership was formed to acquire royalty and net profits 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 farm-out arrangements, sales of properties, and the  depletion
of  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 partners  is
therefore expected to fluctuate in later years based on these factors.

Based  on  current  conditions, management does not  anticipate  performing
workovers  during  the year.  The Partnership could possibly  experience  a
normal decline.

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. The Partnership's capitalized costs did  not  exceed  the
estimated  present value of reserves as of June 30, 1999.   The  oil  price
environment experienced during 1998 had an adverse affect on the  Company's
revenues  and  operating cash flow.  Further declines of oil prices  during
1999  could  result in additional decreases in the carrying  value  of  the
Company's oil and gas properties.

Results of Operations

A.  General Comparison of the Quarters Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998

The  following  table  provides certain information  regarding  performance
factors for the quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998:

                                               Three Months
                                                  Ended          Percentage
                                                 June 30,         Increase
                                              1999       1998    (Decrease)
                                              ----       ----    ----------

Average price per barrel of oil         $     15.89     12.29       29%
Average price per mcf of gas            $      1.99      1.59       25%
Oil production in barrels                     2,000     2,500     (20%)
Gas production in mcf                        20,800    21,500      (3%)
Income from net profits interests       $    33,792  (17,019)      299%
Partnership distributions               $    25,699    24,000        7%
Limited partner distributions           $    23,299    21,600        8%
Per unit distribution to limited
 partners                               $      4.80      4.45        8%
Number of limited partner units               4,851     4,851

Revenues

The  Partnership's income from net profits interests increased  to  $33,792
from $(17,019) for the quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively,
an increase of 299%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the
quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:

1.  The  average  price  for a barrel of oil received  by  the  Partnership
    increased  during the quarter ended June 30, 1999 as  compared  to  the
    quarter  ended June 30, 1998 by 29%, or $3.60 per barrel, resulting  in
    an  increase  of  approximately  $9,000  in  income  from  net  profits
    interests.  Oil sales represented 43% of total oil and gas sales during
    the  quarter ended June 30, 1999 as compared to 47% during the  quarter
    ended June 30, 1998.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    increased during the same period by 25%, or $.40 per mcf, resulting  in
    an  increase  of  approximately  $8,600  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
    $17,600.   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 500 barrels or 20%  during  the
    quarter  ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the quarter ended June  30,
    1998,  resulting in a decrease of approximately $7,900 in  income  from
    net profits interests.

    Gas  production decreased approximately 700 mcf or 3% during  the  same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $1,400 in income  from
    net profits interests.

    The  total  decrease in income from net profits interests  due  to  the
    change  in  production is approximately $9,300.  The  decrease  of  oil
    production  is  primarily  due to downtime  on  one  well  and  natural
    decline.

3.  Lease  operating  costs  and  production  taxes  were  36%  lower,   or
    approximately $22,000 less during the quarter ended June  30,  1999  as
    compared  to  the  quarter ended June 30, 1998.  The decline  in  lease
    operating  costs  is primarily in relation to the drop  in  oil  prices
    experienced  throughout 1998 and into the first  six  months  of  1999,
    which  made it uneconomical to perform workovers necessary to  increase
    production and perform major repairs thus making it necessary to  shut-
    in some wells.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs  and  expenses  decreased to $18,770  from  $143,767  for  the
quarters  ended  June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, a decrease  of  86%.
The  decrease  is  the  result  of  lower depletion  expense,  general  and
administrative expense, and miscellaneous 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
    16%  or approximately $2,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 1999  as
    compared  to the quarter ended June 30, 1998.  The decrease of  general
    and  administrative  costs  were in part due to  additional  accounting
    costs  incurred  in  1998  in relation to the outsourcing  of  K-1  tax
    package preparation; a change in auditors requiring opinions from  both
    the   predecessors  and  successor  auditors  and  a   new   accounting
    pronouncement requiring review by the independent auditors of  the  10-
    Q's.   The Managing General Partner has also made an effort to cut back
    on general and administrative costs whenever and wherever possible.

2.    Depletion expense decreased to $8,000 for the quarter ended June  30,
   1999 from $18,500 for the same period in 1998.  This represents a decrease
   of  57%.   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 increase in the
   price of oil and gas used to determine the Partnership's reserves for April
   1, 1999 as compared to 1998 and the decrease in gross oil and gas revenues.

3. The  Partnership entered into a purchase agreement on the  Kaiser  State
   lease  that guaranteed net income each month for a specified  period  of
   time.    This  income  was  recorded  on  the  Partnerships   books   as
   miscellaneous income.  This property was sold effective May 1998.

4. The  Partnership entered into a purchase agreement on the Tar Baby lease
   that  guaranteed net income each month from October 1994 through January
   1998.    This  income  was  recorded  on  the  Partnerships   books   as
   miscellaneous income.  Based on new information obtained  in  May  1998,
   an  adjustment of $52,707 was found to be necessary. This adjustment was
   recorded  as  miscellaneous expense on the Partnerships  books  for  the
   quarter ended June 30, 1998.

B.  General  Comparison of the Six Month Periods Ended June  30,  1999  and
    1998

The  following  table  provides certain information  regarding  performance
factors for the six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998:

                                                Six Months
                                                  Ended          Percentage

                                              ----       ----    ----------

Average price per barrel of oil         $     12.87     12.22        5%
Average price per mcf of gas            $      1.79      1.59       13%
Oil production in barrels                     4,300     5,300     (19%)
Gas production in mcf                        39,100    41,600      (6%)
Income from net profits interests       $    48,533    16,045      202%

Limited partner distributions           $    23,299    51,750     (55%)
Per unit distribution to limited
 partners                               $      4.80     10.67     (55%)
Number of limited partner units               4,851     4,851

Revenues

The  Partnership's income from net profits interests increased  to  $48,533
from $16,045 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively,
an increase of 202%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:

1.  The  average  price  for a barrel of oil received  by  the  Partnership
    increased during the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to  the
    six months ended June 30, 1998 by 5%, or $.65 per barrel, resulting  in
    an  increase  of  approximately  $3,400  in  income  from  net  profits
    interests.  Oil sales represented 44% of total oil and gas sales during
    the  six  months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to 49% during the  six
    months ended June 30, 1998.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    increased during the same period by 13%, or $.20 per mcf, resulting  in
    an  increase  of  approximately  $8,300  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
    $11,700.   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 1,000 barrels or 19% during the
    six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the six months ended June
    30,  1998,  resulting in a decrease of approximately $12,900 in  income
    from net profits interests.

    Gas  production decreased approximately 2,500 mcf or 6% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $4,500 in income  from
    net profits interests.

    The  total  decrease in income from net profits interests  due  to  the
    change  in  production is approximately $17,400.  The decrease  of  oil
    production  is  primarily  due to downtime  on  one  well  and  natural
    decline.

3.  Lease  operating  costs  and  production  taxes  were  33%  lower,   or
    approximately $38,000 less during the six months ended June 30, 1999 as
    compared  to the six months ended June 30, 1998.  The decline in  lease
    operating  costs  is primarily in relation to the drop  in  oil  prices
    experienced  throughout 1998 and into the first  six  months  of  1999,
    which  made it uneconomical to perform workovers necessary to  increase
    production and perform major repairs thus making it necessary to  shut-
    in some wells.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs  and expenses decreased to $43,586 from $191,046 for  the  six
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, a decrease of 77%.   The
decrease  is  the  result of lower general and administrative  expense  and
miscellaneous 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
    27%  or approximately $8,300 during the six months ended June 30,  1999
    as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1998.

2.    Depletion expense decreased to $21,000 for the six months ended  June
   30,  1999  from $43,500 for the same period in 1998.  This represents  a
   decrease of 52%.  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 increase in the
   price of oil and gas used to determine the Partnership's reserves for April
   1, 1999 as compared to 1998 and the decrease in gross oil and gas revenues.

3. The  Partnership entered into a purchase agreement on the  Kaiser  State
   lease  that guaranteed net income each month for a specified  period  of
   time.    This  income  was  recorded  on  the  Partnerships   books   as
   miscellaneous income.  This property was sold effective May 1998.

4. The  Partnership entered into a purchase agreement on the Tar Baby lease
   that  guaranteed net income each month from October 1994 through January
   1998.    This  income  was  recorded  on  the  Partnerships   books   as
   miscellaneous income.  Based on new information obtained  in  May  1998,
   an  adjustment of $52,707 was found to be necessary. This adjustment was
   recorded  as  miscellaneous expense on the Partnerships  books  for  the
   quarter ended June 30, 1998.

<PAGE>
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 $34,600  in
the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to approximately $55,500  in
the  six  months ended June 30, 1998.  The primary source of the 1999  cash
flow from operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash flows provided by investing activities were approximately $800 in  the
six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to approximately $500 in the six
months ended June 30, 1998.

Cash  flows used in financing activities were approximately $25,800 in  the
six  months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to approximately $57,500 in the
six  months ended June 30, 1998.  The only use in financing activities  was
the distributions to partners.

Total  distributions during the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $25,699
of  which $23,299 was distributed to the limited partners and $2,400 to the
general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
six  months ended June 30, 1999 was $4.80.  Total distributions during  the
six  months  ended  June  30,  1998  were  $57,500  of  which  $51,750  was
distributed  to  the limited partners and $5,750 to the  general  partners.
The  per unit distribution to limited partners during the six months  ended
June 30, 1998 was $10.67.

The source for the 1999 distributions of $25,699 was oil and gas operations
of  approximately $34,600 and the net change in oil and gas  properties  of
approximately   $800,  resulting  in  excess  cash  for  contingencies   or
subsequent distributions.  The source for the 1998 distributions of $57,500
was oil and gas operations of approximately $55,500.

Since  inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash  distributions
of  $1,015,138  have  been made to the partners.   As  of  June  30,  1999,
$927,652  or $191.23 per limited partner unit has been distributed  to  the
limited partners, representing a 38% return of the capital contributed.

As  of  June 30, 1999, the Partnership had approximately $29,500 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.

<PAGE>
Liquidity - Managing General Partner

The  Managing General Partner has a highly leveraged capital structure with
over   $21.0  million  of  interest  payments  due  in  1999  on  its  debt
obligations.   Due  to  severely depressed commodity prices,  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.

Information Systems for the Year 2000

The  Managing  General Partner provides all data processing  needs  of  the
Partnership.  The Managing General Partner is continuing in its  effort  to
identify  and  assess its exposure to the potential Year 2000 software  and
imbedded  chip processing and date sensitivity issue.  Through the Managing
General  Partners  data processing subsidiary, Midland Southwest  Software,
Inc., the Managing General Partner proactively initiated a plan to identify
applicable hardware and software, assess impact and effect, estimate costs,
construct and implement corrective actions, and prepare contingency plans.

Identification & Assessment

The  Managing  General  Partner currently believes it  has  identified  the
internal  and external software and hardware that may have date sensitivity
problems.  Four critical systems and/or functions were identified:  (1) the
proprietary software of the Partnership (OGAS) that is used for oil  &  gas
property management and financial accounting functions, (2) the DEC VAX/VMS
hardware and operating system, (3) various third-party application software
including  lease  economic  analysis, fixed  asset  management,  geological
applications, and payroll/human resource programs, and (4) External Agents.

The  proprietary  software of the Partnership is currently  in  process  of
meeting  compliance requirements with an estimated completion date of  mid-
year  1999.   Since this is an internally generated software  package,  the
Managing General Partner has estimated the cost to be approximately $25,000
by  estimating the necessary man-hours.  These modifications are being made
by internal staff and do not represent additional costs to the Partnership.
The  Managing General Partner has not made contingency plans at  this  time
since  the  conversion is ahead of schedule and being handled  by  Managing
General  Partner controlled internal programmers.  Given the complexity  of
the systems being modified, it is anticipated that some problems may arise,
but  with  an expected early completion date, the Managing General  Partner
feels that adequate time is available to overcome unforeseen delays.

DEC has released a fully compliant version of its operating system that  is
used  by  the  Partnership on the DEC VAX system.  It will be installed  in
August 1999, the Managing General Partner believes that this will solve any
potential problems on the system.

The  Managing  General Partner has identified various third-party  software
that may have date sensitivity problems and is working with the vendors  to
secure  solutions as well as prepare contingency plans.  After  review  and
evaluation  of  the vendor plans and status, the Managing  General  Partner
believes that the problems will be resolved prior to the year 2000  or  the
alternate  contingency plan will sufficiently and adequately remediate  the
problem so that there is no material disruption to business functions.

The  External  Agents  of  the  Partnership include  suppliers,  customers,
owners,  vendors, banks, product purchasers including pipelines, and  other
oil  and  gas property operators.  The Managing General Partner is  in  the
process of identifying and communicating with each critical External  Agent
about  its  plan  and progress thereof in addressing the Year  2000  issue.
This process is on schedule and the Managing General Partner, at this time,
believes  that  there  should  be no material  interference  or  disruption
associated with any of the critical External Agent's functions necessary to
the   Partnership's  business.   The  Managing  General  Partner  estimates
completion of this audit by mid-year 1999 and believes that alternate plans
can  be  devised to circumvent any material problems arising from  critical
External Agent noncompliance.

Cost

To  date,  the Managing General Partner has incurred only minimal  internal
man-hour costs for identification, planning, and maintenance.  The Managing
General  Partner believes that the necessary additional costs will also  be
minimal  and most will fall under normal and general maintenance procedures
and updates.  An accurate cost cannot be determined at this time, but it is
expected  that  the total cost to remediate all systems  to  be  less  than
$50,000.

Risks/Contingency

The  failure to correct critical systems of the Partnership, or the failure
of  a  material business partner or External Agent to resolve critical Year
2000  issues  could  have a serious adverse impact on the  ability  of  the
Partnership  to  continue operations and meet obligations.   Based  on  the
Managing  General  Partner's  evaluation and  assessment  to  date,  it  is
believed  that any interruption in operation will be minor and  short-lived
and  pose no material monetary loss, safety, or environmental risk  to  the
Partnership.   However, until all assessment is complete, it is  impossible
to accurately identify the risks, quantify potential impacts or establish a
final  contingency  plan. The Managing General Partner  believes  that  its
assessment and contingency planning will be complete no later than mid-year
1999.

Worst Case Scenario

The  Securities and Exchange Commission requires that public companies must
forecast the most reasonably likely worst case Year 2000 scenario, assuming
that  the  Managing  General Partner's Year 2000  plan  is  not  effective.
Analysis  of the most reasonably likely worst case Year 2000 scenarios  the
Partnership  may face leads to contemplation of the following possibilities
which,  though  considered  highly  unlikely,  must  be  included  in   any
consideration  of worst cases: widespread failure of electrical,  gas,  and
similar   supplies   by  utilities  serving  the  Partnership;   widespread
disruption  of  the  services of communications  common  carriers;  similar
disruption to means and modes of transportation for the Partnership and its
employees, contractors, suppliers, and customers; significant disruption to
the  Partnership's  ability to gain access to,  and  continue  working  in,
office  buildings  and other facilities; and the failure, of  third-parties
systems,  the  effects  of which would have a cumulative  material  adverse
impact  on  the  Partnership's  critical systems.   The  Partnership  could
experience  an inability by customers, traders, and others  to  pay,  on  a
timely  basis or at all, obligations owed to the Partnership.  Under  these
circumstances, the adverse effect on the Partnership, and the diminution of
Partnership revenues, could be material, although not quantifiable at  this
time.
