Part I
Item 1. Business
General
Southwest Oil & Gas 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 on August 20,
1992, as part of a shelf offering registered under the name of Southwest
Oil & Gas 1992-93 Income Program, reached minimum capital requirements on
March 17, 1993 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 97 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 working
interests in oil and gas properties located in Alabama, Kansas, Louisiana,
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>
Oil prices experienced a year of recovery during 1999. After seeing prices
languish near $10 per barrel in December 1998, a rebound occurred that
would briefly push NYMEX pricing over $27 in late November 1999. Crude oil
prices reached $20 per barrel in mid-July and would not fall below $21 the
rest of the year. There were drastic improvements to the main factors that
gave rise to the worst price depression in history. These improvements
provoked a spike in crude oil prices to levels not seen since the Gulf War.
First, OPEC has done a remarkable job of adhering to production cuts agreed
to in March, despite the temptation to cheat given current pricing. As
prices have risen over the last twelve months, OPEC has consistently
maintained a compliance rate above 90 percent. Also, most foreign markets
are well on their way to recovery, greatly increasing the demand for energy
in those countries. These and other factors have eliminated the
"oversupply" of crude oil that we experienced in 1998. The near month
contract for crude oil settled at $25.60 per barrel on December 30, 1999.
In 1999 natural gas prices rose 10% to an average of $2.18/MMBtu, 18 cents
higher than the $2.00/MMBtu average seen in 1998. Despite warmer-than-
normal heating seasons at both ends of the year, 1999 was the fourth year
in a row that prices averaged $2.00/MMBtu or above. Citing lower storage
levels and a rising demand for natural gas, industry experts are predicting
a "healthy jump" in prices for 2000. Although higher prices in 1999 fueled
an increase in production, end of year gas in storage nationwide is only
75% of capacity as compared to 87% at the end of 1998. Further, gas demand
is expected to continue to increase at a faster pace than the amount of gas
being replaced. A record breaking 70% of single-family homes built in 1999
were equipped with natural gas services ranging from traditional heating to
water heating, cooking and grilling. Based on these encouraging
statistics, we remain optimistic in our expectation of slightly higher
natural gas prices in the coming year, hopefully seeing an average above
the $2.20/MMBtu level.
Following is a table of the ratios of revenues received from oil and gas
production for the last three years:
Oil Gas
1999 41% 59%
1998 40% 60%
1997 48% 52%
As the table indicates, the Partnership's revenue is almost evenly divided
between its oil and gas production; therefore, Partnership revenues will be
highly dependent upon the future prices and demands for oil and gas.
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.
<PAGE>
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. Four purchasers accounted for
75% of the Partnership's total oil and gas production during 1999: Phillips
66 Company for 30%, Southwestern Energy Production Co. for 19%, Sid
Richardson Gasoline Co. for 16% and Navajo Refining Co., Inc. for 10%.
Four purchasers accounted for 54% of the Partnership's total oil and gas
production during 1998: Southwestern Energy Production Co. for 20%, Nustar
Joint Venture for 13%, American Processing for 11% and Phillips 66 Company
for 10%. Two purchasers accounted for 27% of the Partnership's total oil
and gas production during 1997: Southwestern Energy Production Co. for
15%, and American Processing for 12%. 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 interests in producing oil and gas properties or drilling
operations, 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.
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.
<PAGE>
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 - Certain 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,
1999, there were 97 individuals directly employed by the Managing General
Partner in various capacities.
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.

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, 1999, the Partnership possessed an interest in oil and
gas properties located in Escambia and Lamar Counties of Alabama; Labette
and Neosho Counties of Kansas; La Fourche, Pointe Coupe and Terrebonne
Parishes of Louisiana; Eddy County of New Mexico; Custer, Roger Mills and
Washita Counties of Oklahoma; and Dickens, Hemphill, Live Oak, Upton, Ward,
Winkler and Yoakum Counties of Texas. These properties consist of various
interests in 101 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 1999, 1998 and 1997.
<PAGE>
There were no property sales during 1999. During 1998, fifty-six leases
were sold for approximately $55,900. During 1997, four leases were sold
for approximately $38,500.
On October 15, 1998, Southwest Oil & Gas Income Fund XI-A (the
"Registrant") sold its interest in 53 oil and gas properties to Parks &
Luttrell, Inc. ("Parks"), an unrelated party. The Registrant's interest in
the properties was sold for net proceeds, after post closing adjustments,
of $49,703. At December 31, 1997, the property sold to Parks & Luttrell
contained proved reserves of 15,402 barrels of oil and 113,519 mcfs of gas
and had a SEC 10 value of $95,033 at the time of sale. The proceeds from
the sale represented 8.79% of the Registrant's total assets. The General
Partner sold the above properties and allocated the proceeds to the
Partnership based on current cash flows of the properties sold.

*Donald R. Creamer, P.E., an Independent Registered Petroleum Engineer
prepared the reserve and present value data for the Partnership's existing
properties as of January 1, 2000. 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
operating conditions with no provisions for price and cost escalation
except by contractual arrangements.
The New York Mercantile Exchange price at December 31, 1999 of $25.60 was
used as the beginning basis for the oil price. Oil price adjustments from
$25.60 per barrel were made in the individual evaluations to reflect oil
quality, gathering and transportation costs. The results are an average
price received at the lease of $22.68 per barrel in the preparation of the
reserve report as of January 1, 2000.
In the determination of the gas price, the New York Mercantile Exchange
price at December 31, 1999 of $2.33 was used as the beginning basis. Gas
price adjustments from $2.33 per Mcf were made in the individual
evaluations to reflect BTU content, gathering and transportation costs and
gas processing and shrinkage. The results are an average price received at
the lease of $2.00 per Mcf in the preparation of the reserve report as of
January 1, 2000.
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 1999.
<PAGE>
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

Part II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
Matters
Market Information
Limited partnership interest, 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. 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. As of
December 31, 1999, no limited partner units were purchased by the Managing
General Partner. In 1998, 20 limited partner units were tendered to and
purchased by the Managing General Partner at an average base price of
$100.64 per unit. As of December 31, 1997, no limited partner units were
purchased by the Managing General Partner.
Number of Limited Partner Interest Holders
As of December 31, 1999, there were 120 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."
During 1999, distributions were made totaling $109,407, with $100,907
distributed to the limited partners and $8,500 to the general partners.
For the year ended December 31, 1999, distributions of $35.77 per limited
partner unit were made, based upon 2,821 limited partner units outstanding.
During 1998, distributions were made totaling $88,784, with $81,484
distributed to the limited partners and $7,300 to the general partners.
For the year ended December 31, 1998, distributions of $28.88 per limited
partner unit were made, based upon 2,821 limited partner units outstanding.
During 1997, twelve monthly distributions were made totaling $204,862, with
$187,462 distributed to the limited partners and $17,400 to the general
partners. For the year ended December 31, 1997, distributions of $66.45
per limited partner unit were made, based upon 2,821 limited partner units
outstanding.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
General
Southwest Oil & Gas 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 on August 20,
1992 as part of a shelf offering registered under the name of Southwest Oil
& Gas 1992-93 Income Program. Minimum capital requirements for the
Partnership were met on March 17, 1993 and the Offering Period terminated
April 30, 1993 with 120 limited partners purchasing 2,821 units for
$1,410,500.
The Partnership was formed to acquire 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 and on 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 limited
partners is therefore expected to fluctuate in later years based on these
factors.
Based on current conditions, management anticipates performing few
workovers during 2000 to enhance production. Additional workovers may be
performed in the year 2003. The partnership may have an increase in
production volumes for the year 2003, otherwise, the partnership will most
likely experience the historical production decline of approximately 10%
per year.

Results of Operations
A. General Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 1999 and 1998
The following table provides certain information regarding performance
factors for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998:
Year Ended Percentage
December 31, Increase
1999 1998 (Decrease)
---- ---- ---------
Average price per barrel of oil $ 16.55 11.65 42%
Average price per mcf of gas $ 2.26 1.85 22%
Oil production in barrels 5,240 7,600 (31%)
Gas production in mcf 55,150 70,600 (22%)
Gross oil and gas revenue $ 211,240 219,347 (4%)
Net oil and gas revenue $ 101,088 74,837 35%
Partnership distributions $ 109,407 88,784 23%
Limited partner distributions $ 100,907 81,484 24%
Per unit distribution to limited partners $ 35.77 28.88 24%
Number of limited partner units 2,821 2,821
Revenues
The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $211,240 from $219,347
for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, a decrease of
4%. The principal factors affecting the comparison of the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:
1. The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
increased during the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to the
year ended December 31, 1998 by 42%, or $4.90 per barrel, resulting in
an increase of approximately $37,200 in revenues. Oil sales
represented 41% of total oil and gas sales during the year ended
December 31, 1999 as compared to 40% during the year ended December 31,
1998.
The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership
increased during the same period by 22%, or $.41 per mcf, resulting in
an increase of approximately $28,900 in revenues.
The total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received
from oil and gas production is approximately $66,100. 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 2,360 barrels or 31% during the
year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to the year ended December 31,
1998, resulting in a decrease of approximately $39,100 in revenues.
Gas production decreased approximately 15,450 mcf or 22% during the
same period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $34,900 in
revenues.
The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
approximately $74,000. The decrease in production was due primarily to
property sales.
Costs and Expenses
Total costs and expenses decreased to $160,312 from $486,319 for the years
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, a decrease of 67%. The
decrease is the result of lower general and administrative expense,
provision for impairment, lease operating costs and depletion expense.
1. Lease operating costs and production taxes were 24% lower, or
approximately $34,400 less during the year ended December 31, 1999 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 1998. The decrease in lease
operating costs were primarily due to property sales.
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 32%
or approximately $9,100 during the year ended December 31, 1999 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 1998. The decrease of general
and administrative costs were due in part to additional accounting
costs incurred in 1998 in relation to the outsourcing of K-1 tax
package preparation and a change in auditors requiring opinions from
both the predecessors and successor auditors. Additionally, the
Managing General Partner in its effort to cut back on general and
administrative costs whenever and wherever possible was able to reduce
the cost of reserve reports and K-1 tax package preparation during
1999.
3. Depletion expense decreased to $31,000 for the year ended December 31,
1999 from $123,000 for the same period in 1998. This represents a
decrease of 75%. 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 decrease 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, 2000 as compared
to 1999. 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 $48,000 as of
December 31, 1998.
4. The Partnership reduced the net capitalized costs of oil and gas
properties during 1998 by $189,555. This provision for impairment had
the effect of reducing net income, but did not affect cash flow or
partner distributions. See Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- Oil and Gas Properties.

B. General Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 1998 and 1997
The following table provides certain information regarding performance
factors for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997:
Year Ended Percentage
December 31, Increase
1998 1997 (Decrease)
---- ---- ---------
Average price per barrel of oil $ 11.65 18.63 (37%)
Average price per mcf of gas $ 1.85 2.27 (19%)
Oil production in barrels 7,600 10,500 (28%)
Gas production in mcf 70,600 94,000 (25%)
Gross oil and gas revenue $ 219,347 408,579 (46%)
Net oil and gas revenue $ 74,837 182,714 (59%)
Partnership distributions $ 88,784 204,862 (57%)
Limited partner distributions $ 81,484 187,462 (57%)
Per unit distribution to limited partners $ 28.88 66.45 (57%)
Number of limited partner units 2,821 2,821
Revenues
The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $219,347 from $408,579
for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, a decrease of
46%. The principal factors affecting the comparison of the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:
1. The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
decreased during the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to the
year ended December 31, 1997 by 37%, or $6.98 per barrel, resulting in
a decrease of approximately $73,300 in revenues. Oil sales represented
40% of total oil and gas sales during the year ended December 31, 1998
as compared to 48% during the year ended December 31, 1997.
The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership
decreased during the same period by 19%, or $.42 per mcf, resulting in
a decrease of approximately $39,500 in revenues.
The total decrease in revenues due to the change in prices received
from oil and gas production is approximately $112,800. 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 2,900 barrels or 28% during the
year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to the year ended December 31,
1997, resulting in a decrease of approximately $33,800 in revenues.
Gas production decreased approximately 23,400 mcf or 25% during the
same period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $43,300 in
revenues.
The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
approximately $77,100. The decline in oil and gas production is due
primarily to property sales.
Costs and Expenses
Total costs and expenses increased to $486,319 from $386,979 for the years
ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, an increase of 26%. The
increase is the result of higher general and administrative expense and
provision for impairment, partially offset by a decrease in lease operating
costs and depletion expense.
2. Lease operating costs and production taxes were 36% lower, or
approximately $81,400 less during the year ended December 31, 1998 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 1997. Lease operating costs
decline primarily due to property sales and the decrease in oil prices
which has made it uneconomical to perform workovers.
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 increased
less than 1% or approximately $100 during the year ended December 31,
1998 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1997.
3. Depletion expense decreased to $123,000 for the year ended December 31,
1998 from $126,000 for the same period in 1997. This represents a
decrease of 2%. 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 decrease in depletion expense between the
comparative periods was the decrease in the price of oil and gas used
to determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1998 as compared
to 1997. 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 increased depletion expense approximately $9,000 as of
December 31, 1997.
4. The Partnership reduced the net capitalized costs of oil and gas
properties by $189,555. This provision for impairment had the effect
of reducing net income, but did not affect cash flow or partner
distributions. See Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Oil
and Gas Properties.

C. Revenue and Distribution Comparison
Partnership income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and
1997 was $51,963, $(266,080) and $23,326, respectively. Excluding the
effects of depreciation, depletion, amortization and provision for
impairment, net income would have been $82,963 in 1999, $47,519 in 1998 and
$156,346 in 1997. Correspondingly, Partnership distributions for the years
ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $109,407, $88,784 and $204,862,
respectively. These differences are indicative of the changes in oil and
gas prices, production and property sales.
The sources for the 1999 distributions of $109,407 were oil and gas
operations of approximately $85,100 and the change in oil and gas
properties of approximately $(234), with the balance from available cash on
hand at the beginning of the period. The sources for the 1998
distributions of $88,784 were oil and gas operations of approximately
$73,100 and the change in oil and gas properties of approximately $46,200,
resulting in excess cash for contingencies or subsequent distributions.
The sources for the 1997 distributions of $204,862 were oil and gas
operations of approximately $178,000 and the change in oil and gas
properties of approximately $30,800, resulting in excess cash for
contingencies or subsequent distributions.
Total distributions during the year ended December 31, 1999 were $109,407
of which $100,907 was distributed to the limited partners and $8,500 to the
general partners. The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
same period was $35.77. Total distributions during the year ended December
31, 1998 were $88,784 of which $81,484 was distributed to the limited
partners and $7,300 to the general partners. The per unit distribution to
limited partners during the same period was $28.88. Total distributions
during the year ended December 31, 1997 were $204,862 of which $187,462 was
distributed to the limited partners and $17,400 to the general partners.
The per unit distribution to limited partners during the same period was
$66.45.
Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions
of $987,195 have been made to the partners. As of December 31, 1999,
$901,645 or $319.62 per limited partner unit, has been distributed to the
limited partners, representing a 64% return of the capital contributed.
<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 $85,100 in
1999 compared to $73,100 in 1998 and $178,000 in 1997. The primary source
of the 1999 cash flow from operating activities was profitable operations.
Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities were approximately
$(200) in 1999 compared to $46,200 in 1998 and $30,800 in 1997. The
principal use of the 1999 cash flow from investing activities was the
addition of oil and gas properties.
Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $109,400 in 1999
compared to $88,800 in 1998 and approximately $204,800 in 1997. The only
use in financing activities was the distributions to partners.
As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership had approximately $35,600 in
working capital. The Managing General Partner believes the revenues
generated from operations are adequate to meet the operating needs of the
Partnership.
Liquidity - Managing General Partner
The Managing General Partner has a highly leveraged capital structure with
over $35.1 million principal and $17.5 million interest payments due in
2000 on its debt obligations. Due to the severely depressed commodity
prices experienced during the last quarter of 1997, throughout 1998 and
continuing through the second quarter of 1999 the Managing General Partner
is experiencing difficulty in generating sufficient cash flow to meet its
obligations and sustain its operations. The Managing General Partner is
currently in the process of renegotiating the terms of its various
obligations with its creditors and/or attempting to seek new lenders or
equity investors. Additionally, the Managing General Partner would
consider disposing of certain assets in order to meet its obligations.
There can be no assurance that the Managing General Partner's debt
restructuring efforts will be successful or that the lenders will agree to
a course of action consistent with the Managing General Partners
requirements in restructuring the obligations. Even if such agreement is
reached, it may require approval of additional lenders, which is not
assured. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the sales of assets
can be successfully accomplished on terms acceptable to the Managing
General Partner. Under current circumstances, the Managing General
Partner's ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability
to (1) successfully restructure its obligations or obtain additional
financing as may be required, (2) maintain compliance with all debt
covenants, (3) generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a
timely basis, and (4) achieve satisfactory levels of future earnings. If
the Managing General Partner is unsuccessful in its efforts, it may be
unable to meet its obligations making it necessary to undertake such other
actions as may be appropriate to preserve asset values.
Information Systems for the Year 2000
The year 2000 issue referred to the risk of disruptions of operations
caused by the failure of computer-controlled systems, including systems
used by third parties, to properly recognize date sensitive information
when the year changed from 1999 to 2000. During the year ended December
31, 1999, the Managing General Partners data processing subsidiary, Midland
Southwest Software, Inc., installed new software as part of an on-going
project to upgrade its financial and management information systems. The
cost of upgrading the software occurred in the normal course of Midland
Southwest Software's business and was not material to the results of
operations or financial condition of the Partnership.
The Partnership has not experienced any significant business disruptions
due to year 2000 issues causing processing errors in its systems, or a
third party's systems, during the period of operations after January 1,
2000 until the filing of the 10-K.

1. Organization
Southwest Oil & Gas 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:

2. 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, 1999 and 1997, the net
capitalized costs did not exceed the estimated present value of oil
and gas reserves. As of December 31, 1998, the net capitalized cost
exceeded the estimated present value of oil and gas reserves, thus an
adjustment of $189,555 was made to the financial statement.
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.

Notes to Financial Statements
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued
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. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998 there
were no significant amounts of imbalance in terms of units and value.
As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership was over produced by 3,521
mcf of gas.
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, 1999 and 1998 is $12,508 and $83,207, more than that shown on the
accompanying Balance Sheet in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.

For purposes of the statement 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, 1999, 1998 and 1997 there were 2,821 limited
partner units outstanding held by 120, 121 and 121 partners.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Partnership is subject to credit risk through trade receivables.
Although a substantial portion of its debtors' ability to pay is
dependent upon the oil and gas industry, credit risk is minimized due
to a large customer base. All partnership revenues are received by
the Managing General Partner and subsequently remitted to the
partnership and all expenses are paid by the Managing General Partner
and subsequently reimbursed by the partnership.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash and accounts receivable approximates fair
value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Net Income (loss) per limited partnership unit
The net income (loss) per limited partnership unit is calculated by
using the number of outstanding limited partnership units.
3. Liquidity - Managing General Partner
The Managing General Partner has a highly leveraged capital structure
with over $35.1 million principal and $17.5 million interest payments
due in 2000 on its debt obligations. Due to the severely depressed
commodity prices experienced during the last quarter of 1997,
throughout 1998 and continuing through the second quarter of 1999 the
Managing General Partner is experiencing difficulty in generating
sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations and sustain its
operations. The Managing General Partner is currently in the process
of renegotiating the terms of its various obligations with its
creditors and/or attempting to seek new lenders or equity investors.
Additionally, the Managing General Partner would consider disposing of
certain assets in order to meet its obligations.
There can be no assurance that the Managing General Partner's debt
restructuring efforts will be successful or that the lenders will
agree to a course of action consistent with the Managing General
Partners requirements in restructuring the obligations. Even if such
agreement is reached, it may require approval of additional lenders,
which is not assured. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the
sales of assets can be successfully accomplished on terms acceptable
to the Managing General Partner. Under current circumstances, the
Managing General Partner's ability to continue as a going concern
depends upon its ability to (1) successfully restructure its
obligations or obtain additional financing as may be required, (2)
maintain compliance with all debt covenants, (3) generate sufficient
cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, and (4) achieve
satisfactory levels of future earnings. If the Managing General
Partner is unsuccessful in its efforts, it may be unable to meet its
obligations making it necessary to undertake such other actions as may
be appropriate to preserve asset values.

Notes to Financial Statements
4. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
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.
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, 1999, 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 $26,600, $29,400 and $38,600 for the years
ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. 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 or affiliates of the Managing General Partner
perform various oilfield services for properties in which the
Partnership owns an interest. Such services aggregated approximately
$2,800, $40 and $100 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and
1997 and the Managing General Partner believes that these costs are
comparable to similar charges paid by the Partnership to unrelated
third parties.

Notes to Financial Statements
5. Related Party Transactions - continued
Southwest Royalties, Inc., the Managing General Partner, was paid
$14,000, $11,787 and $20,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997, as an administrative fee, for indirect general and
administrative overhead expenses.
Amounts due from Southwest Royalties, Inc. totaled $25,237 and $27,378
as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, all of which is from
oil and gas production distributed to the Partnership subsequent to
the end of the year.
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. There were no legal services provided for the year
ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and approximately $30 for the years
ended December 31, 1997.
6. Major Customers
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. Four
purchasers accounted for 75% of the Partnership's total oil and gas
production during 1999: Phillips 66 Company for 30%, Southwestern
Energy Production Co. for 19%, Sid Richardson Gasoline Co. for 16% and
Navajo Refining Co., Inc. for 10%. Four purchasers accounted for 54%
of the Partnership's total oil and gas production during 1998:
Southwestern Energy Production Co. for 20%, Nustar Joint Venture for
13%, American Processing 11% and Phillips 66 Company for 10%. Two
purchasers accounted for 27% of the Partnership's total oil and gas
production during 1997: Southwestern Energy Production Co. 15%, and
American Processing 12%. 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.

All of the Partnership's reserves are located within the continental
United States.
*Donald R. Creamer, P.E., an Independent Registered Petroleum Engineer
prepared the reserve and present value data for the Partnership's
existing properties as of January 1, 2000. 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 operating conditions with no provisions for
price and cost escalation except by contractual arrangements.
The New York Mercantile Exchange price at December 31, 1999 of $25.60
was used as the beginning basis for the oil price. Oil price
adjustments from $25.60 per barrel were made in the individual
evaluations to reflect oil quality, gathering and transportation
costs. The results are an average price received at the lease of
$22.68 per barrel in the preparation of the reserve report as of
January 1, 2000.

Notes to Financial Statements
7. Estimated Oil and Gas Reserves (unaudited) - continued
In the determination of the gas price, the New York Mercantile
Exchange price at December 31, 1999 of $2.33 was used as the beginning
basis. Gas price adjustments from $2.33 per Mcf were made in the
individual evaluations to reflect BTU content, gathering and
transportation costs and gas processing and shrinkage. The results
are an average price received at the lease of $2.00 per Mcf in the
preparation of the reserve report as of January 1, 2000.
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.

specific instances and on an "as-needed" basis allows for greater
flexibility and greater opportunity to perform its oil and gas activities
more economically and effectively.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
The Partnership does not have any directors or executive officers. The
executive officers of the Managing General Partner do not receive any cash
compensation, bonuses, deferred compensation or compensation pursuant to
any type of plan, from the Partnership. The Managing General Partner

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
In 1999, the Managing General Partner received $14,000 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 $26,600 for administrative overhead
attributable to operating such properties during 1999.
Certain subsidiaries or affiliates of the Managing General Partner perform
various oilfield services for properties in which the Partnership owns an
interest. Such services aggregated approximately $2,800 for the year ended
December 31, 1999.
In the opinion of management, the terms of the above transactions are
similar to ones with unaffiliated third parties.
