Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2000 compared with six months ended
   June 30, 1999

Revenues:

The Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  increased 97% to $1,863,518 for the six
months  ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $948,264 for the same period in 1999.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, 48,699 barrels
of oil,  23,339 barrels of  natural gas  liquids  ("NGLs") and 89,536 mcf of gas

                                        7






were sold,  or 86,961  barrel of oil  equivalents  ("BOEs").  For the six months
ended June 30, 1999,  49,101  barrels of oil,  23,512 barrels of NGLs and 98,512
mcf of gas were sold, or 89,032 BOEs.

The average price  received per barrel of oil increased  $14.50,  or 110%,  from
$13.22 for the six months  ended June 30,  1999 to $27.72 for the same period in
2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs  increased  $7.19,  or 106%,
from  $6.81  during the six  months  ended June 30,  1999 to $14.00 for the same
period in 2000.  The average  price  received per mcf of gas  increased 48% from
$1.41 for the six  months  ended June 30,  1999 to $2.08 for the same  period in
2000. The market price for oil and gas has been  extremely  volatile in the past
decade and  management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the
foreseeable  future.  The  Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas
production at average  prices lower or higher than that received  during the six
months ended June 30, 2000.

The volatility of commodity prices has had, and continues to have, a significant
impact on the Partnership's revenues and operating cash flow and could result in
additional  decreases to the  carrying  value of the  Partnership's  oil and gas
properties.

A gain on disposition  of assets of $5,487 was recognized  during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 from the sale of equipment on one fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $953,283 for the six months ended June 30,
2000 as  compared  to  $920,972  for the same  period in 1999,  an  increase  of
$32,311,  or 4%. The  increase  was due to  increases  in  production  costs and
general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a decline in depletion.

Production  costs  were  $752,025  for the six months  ended  June 30,  2000 and
$641,619 for the same period in 1999, resulting in a $110,406 increase,  or 17%.
The increase was the result of higher production taxes due to higher oil and gas
prices  and  additional  well  maintenance  costs  incurred  to  stimulate  well
production.

G&A's  components are independent  accounting and engineering  fees and managing
general  partner  personnel  and  operating  costs.   During  this  period,  G&A
increased, in aggregate, 80% from $32,807 for the six months ended June 30, 1999
to $58,911 for the same period in 2000  primarily  due to a higher allocation of
the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas
revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Depletion  was  $142,347  for the six months  ended June 30,  2000  compared  to
$246,546  for the same period in 1999,  a decrease  of  $104,199,  or 42%.  This
decrease was primarily due to an increase in proved  reserves  during the period
ended June 30, 2000 due to higher commodity  prices, a decline in oil production
of 402  barrels  for the six months  ended June 30,  2000  compared  to the same
period in 1999 and a reduction in the  Partnership's  net depletable  basis from
charges taken in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
121,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121") during the fourth quarter of 1999.

Three months ended June 30, 2000 compared with three months ended June 30, 1999

Revenues:

The Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  increased 82% to $966,583 for the three
months  ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $532,235 for the same period in 1999.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a decrease in  production.  For the three  months  ended June 30,  2000,  24,312
barrels of oil,  12,529  barrels  of NGLs and  47,154  mcf of gas were sold,  or
44,700 BOEs.  For the three months ended June 30, 1999,  23,534  barrels of oil,
13,275 barrels of NGLs and 50,868 mcf of gas were sold, or 45,287 BOEs.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  increased  $12.94,  or 87%, from
$14.81 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $27.75 for the same period in
2000.  The average price received per barrel of NGLs  increased  $6.20,  or 78%,
from $7.90  during the three  months  ended June 30, 1999 to $14.10 for the same
period in 2000.  The average  price  received per mcf of gas  increased 57% from
$1.55  during the three  months ended June 30, 1999 to $2.44 for the same period
in 2000.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and  expenses  increased to $490,837 for the three months ended June
30, 2000 as compared  to  $408,587  for the same period in 1999,  an increase of
$82,250, or 20%. This increase was due to increases in production costs and G&A,
offset by a decrease in depletion.

Production  costs were  $389,681  for the three  months  ended June 30, 2000 and
$311,851 for the same period in 1999  resulting in a $77,830  increase,  or 25%.
This increase was the result of additional well  maintenance  costs and workover
expenses  incurred to stimulate well production and higher  production taxes due
to higher oil and gas prices.

During this period, G&A increased, in aggregate,  85% from $17,030 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 to $31,430 for the same period in 2000  primarily due
to a higher  allocation of the managing  general  partner's G&A being  allocated
(limited to 3% of oil and gas  revenues)  as a result of  increased  oil and gas
revenues.

Depletion  was $69,726  for the three  months  ended June 30,  2000  compared to
$79,706 for the same period in 1999, a decrease of $9,980, or 13%. This decrease
was primarily  attributable  to an increase in proved reserves during the period
ended June 30, 2000 as a result of higher  commodity  prices and a reduction  in
the  Partnership's  net depletable  basis from charges taken in accordance  with
SFAS 121  during  the  fourth  quarter  of 1999,  offset by an  increase  in oil
production  of 778 barrels for the three months ended June 30, 2000  compared to
the same period in 1999.

of $19,373.

30, 2000 and 1999 included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on various

June 30, 2000 were  derived  from the sale of  equipment  on one fully  depleted
well.
