ITEM 5:   OTHER EVENTS

     Sale of Properties.
     -------------------

     The  General  Partner and  its  affiliates are  currently  in the
process of  evaluating certain  oil and  gas  properties owned  and/or
operated by the General  Partner and the Geodyne Institutional/Pension
Energy Income P-1  Limited Partnership, Geodyne  Institutional/Pension
Energy Income  P-2 Limited Partnership,  Geodyne Institutional/Pension
Energy  Income Limited Partnership  P-3, Geodyne Institutional/Pension
Energy Income Limited  Partnership P-4, Geodyne  Institutional/Pension
Energy    Income     Limited    Partnership    P-5,     and    Geodyne
Institutional/Pension   Energy   Income   Limited    Partnership   P-6
(collectively, the  "Partnerships").  As a result  of such evaluation,
it is expected that certain of  these properties will be placed in bid
packages and offered  for sale during the  first half of 1997.   It is
likely that  the Partnerships  will have  an interest in  some of  the
properties being sold.   It is currently estimated  that the value  of
such sales,  as a  percentage of  total proved  reserves of  any given
Partnership, will range from 1% to 20%.

     The  decision  to  accept any  offer  for  the  purchase of  such
properties  will be  made  by the  General  Partner after  giving  due
consideration to the offer price and the General Partner's estimate of
both the  properties' remaining  proved reserves and  future operating
costs.  Net proceeds from the sale of any  such Partnership properties
will  be distributed to  the Partnership and  will be included  in the
calculation of  the Partnership's  cash distributions for  the quarter
immediately following receipt by the Partnership of the proceeds.

     Following completion  of any sales the  Partnerships' quantity of
proved  reserves  will be  reduced.   It  is  also  possible that  the
Partnerships' repurchase  values and  future cash  distributions could
decline as a result  of any reduced reserve base.   On the other hand,
the General Partner believes  that there will be  beneficial operating
efficiencies related to the Partnerships' remaining properties.   This
is primarily due to the  fact that the properties to be  sold are more
likely  to bear a  higher ratio of  operating expenses as  compared to
reserves than the properties  remaining in the Partnerships.   The net
effect of such property sales  is difficult to predict as of  the date
of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
