Basis of Presentation. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements of the Partnership as of June 30, 1999 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS(1) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Six months ended June 30, 1999 compared with six months ended June 30, 1998 Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 18% to $435,922 from $532,019 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The decrease in revenues resulted from lower average prices received and a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, 19,850 barrels of oil, 13,581 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 56,238 mcf of gas were sold, or 42,804 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June 30, 1998, 23,063 barrels of oil, 14,918 barrels of NGLs and 65,777 mcf of gas were sold, or 48,944 BOEs. The average price received per barrel of oil decreased 7% from $14.17 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $13.24 for the same period in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs decreased from $7.05 during the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $6.93 for the same period in 1999. The average price received per mcf of gas decreased 8% from $1.52 during the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $1.40 in 1999. 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, 1999. 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. Gain on disposition of assets of $356 was received during the six months ended June 30, 1998 from the disposal of oil and gas equipment on fully depleted wells. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses decreased to $483,648 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $528,511 for the same period in 1998, a decrease of $44,863, or 8%. This decrease was due to declines in production costs, general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), depletion and abandoned property costs. Production costs were $344,743 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and $383,272 for the same period in 1998 resulting in a $38,529 decrease, or 10%. This decrease was due to declines in well maintenance costs and production taxes. G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A decreased, in aggregate, 18% from $15,961 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $13,078 for the same period in 1999. Depletion was $125,827 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $128,628 for the same period in 1998, a decline of $2,801. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in oil production of 3,213 barrels for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998, an increase in proved reserves during the period ended June 30, 1999 due to the higher commodity prices 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 1998. Abandoned property costs incurred during the six months ended June 30, 1998 totaled $650. These costs were in association with the plugging and abandonment of one uneconomical well. 8 131 Three months ended June 30, 1999 compared with three months ended June 30, 1998 Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 7% to $244,884 from $262,816 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The decrease in revenues resulted from declines in production, offset by higher average prices received. For the three months ended June 30, 1999, 9,402 barrels of oil, 7,313 barrels of NGLs and 27,119 mcf of gas were sold, or 21,235 BOEs. For the three months ended June 30, 1998, 11,711 barrels of oil, 7,790 barrels of NGLs and 32,461 mcf of gas were sold, or 24,911 BOEs. The average price received per barrel of oil increased $1.52, or 11%, from $13.47 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $14.99 for the same period in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.09, or 15%, from $7.24 during the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $8.33 for the same period in 1999. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 6% from $1.50 during the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $1.59 in 1999. Gain on disposition of assets of $285 was received during the three months ended June 30, 1998 from the disposal of oil and gas equipment on fully depleted wells. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses decreased to $205,269 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $269,700 for the same period in 1998, a decrease of $64,431, or 24%. This decrease was due to declines in production costs, depletion, G&A and abandoned property costs. Production costs were $162,895 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and $195,142 for the same period in 1998 resulting in a $32,247 decrease, or 17%. This decrease was due to declines in well maintenance costs and production taxes, offset by an increase in ad valorem taxes. During this period, G&A decreased, in aggregate, 7% from $7,885 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $7,347 for the same period in 1999. Depletion was $35,027 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $66,558 for the same period in 1998. This represented a decrease in depletion of $31,531, or 47%. This decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in proved reserves during the period ended June 30, 1999 as a result of higher commodity prices, a reduction in oil production of 2,308 barrels for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998 and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998. Abandoned property costs during the three months ended June 30, 1998 totaled $115. These costs were incurred in association with the plugging and abandonment of one uneconomical well.

The decrease in revenues resulted from lower average prices received and a decrease received, offset by an increase in production. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, 19,850 9,297 barrels of oil, 13,581 3,592 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 56,238 24,947 mcf of gas were sold, or 42,804 17,047 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June 30, 1998, 23,063 9,753 barrels of oil, 14,918 2,988 barrels of NGLs and 65,777 23,991 mcf of gas were sold, or 48,944 16,740 BOEs. The average price received per barrel of oil decreased 7% $1.29, or 9%, from $14.17 14.20 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $13.24 12.91 for the same period in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs decreased $1.44, or 17%, from $7.05 during 8.43 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $6.93 6.99 for the same period in 1999. The average price received per mcf of gas decreased 85% from $1.52 1.74 during the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $1.40 1.66 in 1999. 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, 1999. 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.

Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998, 1998 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS(1) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Six months ended June 30, 1999 compared with six months ended June 30, 1998 Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 1814% to $435,922 374,957 from $532,019 434,947 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The decrease in revenues resulted from lower average prices received and a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, 19,850 17,589 barrels of oil, 13,581 11,663 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 56,238 45,216 mcf of gas were sold, or 42,804 36,788 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June 30, 1998, 23,063 19,552 barrels of oil, 14,918 10,141 barrels of NGLs and 65,777 46,285 mcf of gas were sold, or 48,944 37,407 BOEs. The average price received per barrel of oil decreased 7% $1.65, or 11%, from $14.17 14.65 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $13.24 13.00 for the same period in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs decreased 7% from $7.05 7.39 during the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $6.93 6.86 for the same period in 1999. The average price received per mcf of gas decreased 8% from $1.52 1.59 during the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $1.40 1.47 in 1999. 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, 1999. 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. Gain on disposition of assets of $356 was received during the six months ended June 30, 1998 from the disposal of oil and gas equipment on fully depleted wells. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses decreased to $483,648 343,476 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $528,511 402,718 for the same period in 1998, a decrease of $44,86359,242, or 815%. This decrease was due to declines in production costs, depletion and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), depletion and abandoned property costs. Production costs were $344,743 223,897 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and $383,272 272,903 for the same period in 1998 resulting in a $38,529 49,006 decrease, or 1018%. This The decrease was due to declines in well maintenance costs and production taxes. G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A decreased, in aggregate, 1819% from $15,961 13,920 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $13,078 11,249 for the same period in 1999. Depletion was $125,827 108,330 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $128,628 115,895 for the same period in 1998, a decline decrease of $2,8017,565, or 7%. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in oil production of 3,213 1,963 barrels for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998, an increase in proved reserves during the period ended June 30, 1999 due to the higher commodity prices 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 1998.
