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

General

Southwest  Royalties,  Inc.  Income Fund V was  organized  as  a  Tennessee
limited  partnership  on  May  1, 1986, after  receipt  from  investors  of
$1,000,000  in  limited  partner capital contributions.   The  offering  of
limited  partnership interests began on January 22, 1986 and  concluded  on
July 22, 1986, with total limited partner contributions of $7,500,000.

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  the  net
proceeds from operations to the limited and general partners.  Net revenues
from  producing oil and gas properties are not reinvested in other  revenue
producing assets except to the extent that production facilities and  wells
are improved or reworked or where methods are employed to improve or enable
more efficient recovery of oil and gas reserves.

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,  increases
and  decreases  in  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 1998.  The Partnership may have a slight increase in 1998,
but  thereafter, the Partnership could possibly experience a normal decline
of 8% to 10% a year.

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.  As of June 30, 1998, the net capitalized costs  did  not
exceed the estimated present value of oil and gas reserves.  A continuation
of the oil price environment experienced during the first half of 1998 will
have  an adverse affect on the Company's revenues and operating cash  flow.
Also,  further declines in oil prices could result in additional  decreases
in the carrying value of the Company's oil and gas properties.

Revenues

The  Partnership's income from net profits interests decreased  to  $35,630
from $77,772 for the quarters ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, a
decrease  of  54%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison  of  the
quarters ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

1.  The  average  price  for a barrel of oil received  by  the  Partnership
    decreased  during the quarter ended June 30, 1998 as  compared  to  the
    quarter ended June 30, 1997 by 32%, or $6.30 per barrel, resulting in a
    decrease of approximately $54,000 in income from net profits interests.
    Oil sales represented 58% of total oil and gas sales during the quarter
    ended  June  30, 1998 as compared to 63% during the quarter ended  June
    30, 1997.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    decreased  by  22%  or  $.53  per  mcf,  resulting  in  a  decrease  of
    approximately $22,000 in income from net profits interest.

    The  total  decrease in income from net profits interests  due  to  the
    change  in prices received from oil and gas production is approximately
    $76,000.   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.


2.  Oil  production decreased approximately 2,000 barrels or 23% during the
    quarter  ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the quarter ended June  30,
    1997,  resulting in a decrease of approximately $26,200 in income  from
    net profits interests.

    Gas production decreased approximately 7,900 mcf or 19% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $15,000 in income from
    net profits interests.

    The  total  decrease in income from net profits interests  due  to  the
    change  in  production  is  approximately  $41,200.   The  decrease  is
    primarily attributable to the decline in oil prices, which has made  it
    uneconomical to repair two wells and the explosion of a gas plant which
    caused a decline in mcfs for the month of April.

3.  Lease  operating  costs  and  production  taxes  were  40%  lower,   or
    approximately $74,500 less during the quarter ended June  30,  1998  as
    compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1997.  The decrease is primarily
    attributable to workovers on three wells performed in 1997.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses increased to $66,015 from $61,402 for the quarters
ended  June  30,  1998  and 1997, respectively, an  increase  of  8%.   The
increase  is  the  result  of  higher depletion  expense  and  general  and
administrative 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 increased 9%
    or  approximately  $2,600 during the quarter ended  June  30,  1998  as
    compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1997.

2.  Depletion expense increased to $35,000 for the quarter ended  June  30,
    1998  from  $33,000  for the same period in 1997.  This  represents  an
    increase  of  6%.  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.

Revenues

The  Partnership's income from net profits interests decreased to  $109,739
from   $215,365  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1998  and   1997,
respectively,  a  decrease  of 49%.  The principal  factors  affecting  the
comparison of the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

1.  The  average  price  for a barrel of oil received  by  the  Partnership
    decreased during the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to  the
    six  months ended June 30, 1997 by 31%, or $6.25 per barrel,  resulting
    in  a  decrease  of approximately $110,000 in income from  net  profits
    interests.  Oil sales represented 58% of total oil and gas sales during
    the  six  months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to 65% during the  six
    months ended June 30, 1997.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    decreased during the same period by 10%, or $.24 per mcf, resulting  in
    a  decrease  of  approximately  $19,000  in  income  from  net  profits
    interests.

    The  total  decrease in income from net profits interests  due  to  the
    change  in prices received from oil and gas production is approximately
    $129,000.  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.


2.  Oil  production decreased approximately 2,600 barrels or 15% during the
    six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the six months ended June
    30,  1997,  resulting in a decrease of approximately $36,000 in  income
    from net profits interests.

    Gas production decreased approximately 8,800 mcf or 11% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $19,000 in income from
    net profits interests.

    The  total  decrease in income from net profits interests  due  to  the
    change  in  production  is  approximately  $55,000.   The  decrease  is
    primarily attributable to the decline in oil prices, which has made  it
    uneconomical to repair two wells and the explosion of a gas plant which
    caused a decline in mcfs for the month of March and April.

3.  Lease  operating  costs  and  production  taxes  were  24%  lower,   or
    approximately $78,000 less during the six months ended June 30, 1998 as
    compared  to  the  six  months ended June 30, 1997.   The  decrease  is
    primarily attributable to workovers on three wells during 1997.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs and expenses increased to $138,528 from $130,835 for  the  six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, an increase of 6%.   The
increase  is  the result of higher 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 increased 6%
    or  approximately $3,600 during the six months ended June 30,  1998  as
    compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997.

2.  Depletion  expense increased to $72,000 for the six months  ended  June
    30, 1998 from $68,000 for the same period in 1997.  This represents  an
    increase  of  6%.  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.


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 $104,700  in
the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to approximately $229,300 in
the  six  months ended June 30, 1997.  The primary source of the 1998  cash
flow from operating activities was profitable operations.

There were no cash flows provided by investing activities in the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $104,300 in  the
six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to approximately $239,000 in the
six  months ended June 30, 1997.  The only use in financing activities  was
the distributions to partners.

Total distributions during the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $104,500
of which $94,050 was distributed to the limited partners and $10,450 to the
general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
six  months ended June 30, 1998 was $12.55.  Total distributions during the
six  months  ended  June  30,  1997 were $239,000  of  which  $215,100  was
distributed  to  the limited partners and $23,900 to the general  partners.
The  per unit distribution to limited partners during the six months  ended
June 30, 1997 was $28.68.

The  sources  for  the  1998 distributions of $104,500  were  oil  and  gas
operations   of   approximately  $104,700.   The  source   for   the   1997
distributions  of  $239,000  was oil and gas  operations  of  approximately
$229,300, with the balance from available cash on hand at the beginning  of
the period.

Since  inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash  distributions
of  $7,338,543  have  been made to the partners.   As  of  June  30,  1998,
$6,588,320 or $878.56 per limited partner unit has been distributed to  the
limited partners, representing an 88% return of the capital contributed.

As  of  June 30, 1998, the Partnership had approximately $67,300 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.

Information Systems for the Year 2000

The  Managing  General Partner provides all data processing  needs  of  the
Partnership.   The Managing General Partner has reviewed and evaluated  its
information  systems  to determine if its systems accurately  process  data
referencing   the   year   2000.   Primarily  all   necessary   programming
modifications  to  correct year 2000 referencing in  the  Managing  General
Partners  internal accounting and operating systems have been made to-date.
However  the  Managing General Partner has not completed its evaluation  of
its vendors and suppliers systems to determine the effect, if any, the non-
compliance  of  such systems would have on the operation  of  the  Managing
General Partnership or the operations of the Partnership.
