RE:      Swift Energy Pension Partners 1994-B, Ltd.

Dear Interest Holder:

         Recently, your Partnership, Swift Energy Pension Partners 1994-B, Ltd.,
sold its most  significant  property,  its  interests  in the Rancho Viejo Field
located  in Webb  County,  Texas.  This sale  followed  successful  negotiations
between Swift Energy Company,  as Managing  General Partner for the Partnership,
and the operator of the property,  EEX Operating,  L.P. These  negotiations were
initiated  by EEX  after  EEX  submitted  an  extensive  work plan for the field
requiring substantial  expenditures,  which your Partnership was unable to fund.
Swift also sold all of its  corporate  and  general  partner  interest,  and the
entire interest held by other  partnerships in the property.  The enclosed check
represents your portion of the net proceeds from this property sale.

         As you may  recall,  during  1998 Swift  Energy  Company,  as  Managing
General   Partner,   embarked  on  a  liquidation   strategy  for  most  of  its
partnerships.  However, due to a drastic change in market conditions during 1998
while the transaction was under  regulatory  review,  this  liquidation plan was
terminated.  The issues facing the partnerships  leading to the 1998 liquidation
proposal still exist and in your Partnership have been heightened by the sale of
the Rancho Viejo property.

         Oil and gas prices have rebounded during 1999 to levels that again have
led the Managing General Partner to initiate another liquidation  proposal for a
number of its partnerships. On September 13, 1999, Swift filed preliminary proxy
statements  with the Securities and Exchange  Commission for five  partnerships,
including this Partnership.  These proxy statements set forth a proposal to sell
the assets and dissolve  each of the  partnerships.  Swift is awaiting the SEC's
review and  comments in order to finalize  these  proxy  statements,  which will
fully discuss the proposal, before mailing the proxy statements to or discussing
the proposal with investors.

         In the interim,  if you have any questions  concerning  other  matters,
please  contact the Investor  Relations  Department  at (800)  777-2750 or (281)
874-2750.

                                            Sincerely,

                                            /s/ Bruce H. Vincent
