Minimum  capital requirements for the Partnership were met  on  August  15,
1990,  with  the  offering of limited partnership interests  concluding  on
November 30, 1990, with total limited partner contributions of $5,242,000.

The  Partnership was formed to acquire 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 will not be 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,  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 anticipates  performing  a  few
workovers during 2001 to enhance production.  The partnership may  have  an
increase   in  production  volumes  for  the  year  2001,  otherwise,   the
partnership  will most likely experience the historical production  decline
of approximately 7% per 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 March 31, 2001, the net capitalized costs did  not
exceed the estimated present value of oil and gas reserves.

A.  General Comparison of the Quarters Ended March 31, 2001 and 2000

The  following  table  provides certain information  regarding  performance

Revenues

The  Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased to $117,290 from $103,354
for  the  quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, an increase
of  13%.   The  principal factors affecting the comparison of the  quarters
ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 are as follows:

1.  The  average  price  for a barrel of oil received  by  the  Partnership
    decreased  during the quarter ended March 31, 2001 as compared  to  the
    quarter ended March 31, 2000 by 4%, or $1.18 per barrel, resulting in a
    decrease  of  approximately $3,900 in revenues.  Oil sales  represented
    72%  of total oil and gas sales during the quarter ended March 31, 2001
    as compared to 89% during the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    increased  during the same period by 141%, or $4.50 per mcf,  resulting
    in an increase of approximately $18,900 in revenues.

    The net total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received
    from oil and gas production is approximately $15,000.  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 100 barrels or  3%  during  the
    quarter ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the quarter ended March 31,
    2000, resulting in a decrease of approximately $2,700 in revenues.

    Gas  production increased approximately 500 mcf or 14% during the  same
    period, resulting in an increase of approximately $1,600 in revenues.

    The  net total decrease in revenues due to the change in production  is
    approximately $1,100.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses increased to $94,065 from $76,489 for the quarters
ended  March  31,  2001 and 2000, respectively, an increase  of  23%.   The
increase is the result of higher lease operating costs, partially offset by
a decrease in general and administrative expense.

1.  Lease  operating  costs  and  production  taxes  were  34%  higher   or
    approximately $17,700 more during the quarter ended March 31,  2001  as
    compared  to the quarter ended March 31, 2000.  The increase  in  lease
    operating  expense is due to acoustical testing, maintenance and  other
    repairs  being performed in 2001, and the increase in production  taxes
    in relation to the increase in gross revenues received in 2001.

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 1%
    or  approximately  $200  during the quarter ended  March  31,  2001  as
    compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

3.  Depletion  expense remained unchanged for the quarter ended  March  31,
    2001  as  compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2000.   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,  other than the ones noted above, nor does it anticipate  any  such
change.

Cash  flows provided by operating activities were approximately $42,700  in
the quarter ended March 31, 2001 as compared to approximately $2,100 in the
quarter  ended  March 31, 2000.  The primary source of the 2001  cash  flow
from operating activities was operations.

Cash  flows  used in investing activities were approximately  $700  in  the
quarter  ended  March 31, 2001 as compared to approximately $2,100  in  the
quarter ended March 31, 2000.  The principle use of the 2001 cash flow from
investing activities was the additions to oil and gas properties.

Cash  flows used in financing activities were approximately $45,400 in  the
quarter  ended March 31, 2001.  There were no cash flows used in  financing
activities  in the quarter ended March 31, 2000. The only use in  financing
activities was the distributions to partners.

Total distributions during the quarter ended March 31, 2001 were $45,000 of
which  $40,500  was  distributed to the limited  partners  and  $4,500  was
distributed  to the general partner. The per unit distribution  to  limited
partners during the quarter ended March 31, 2001 was $3.86.  There were  no
distributions during the quarters ended March 31, 2000.

The source for the 2001 distributions of $45,000 was oil and gas operations
of  approximately $42,700, with the balance from available cash on hand  at
the beginning of the period.

Since  inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash  distributions
of  $2,812,732  have  been made to the partners.  As  of  March  31,  2001,
$2,589,074 or $246.95 per limited partner unit has been distributed to  the
limited partners, representing a 49% return of the capital contributed.

As  of March 31, 2001, the Partnership had approximately $54,800 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.
